There are so many aspects to our lives that seem like we couldn’t live without, but honestly looking at what your baseline needs are and how much of your life is being governed by non-essentials will help you to know what needs to be added and probably more importantly stripped away. The purpose of going through a theme on what is essential to you, is for you to seriously look at your basic needs as well as your basic wants that feed into the life you want to lead. Only you can define what it is that is essential to your life.
