Cleaning: Routine Activity of a Minimalist





I can say that a minimalist loves to clean closet, home, room etc. why? Because when you declutter it means you are cleaning. I have wrote this on other post before that when you decide to be a minimalist something that you have to do is decluttering so you clean something, it could be your room, kitchen, living room, closet or another spot. 
Cleaning is a must do if you are a minimalist because you have to check and re-check is everything you have is everything you need? so if some of them is something that you don’t need why you keep them? Donate it or sell it.

From my experience, when I decide to be a minimalist something has changed, yes I love cleaning. Through cleansing I know something that I don’t need anymore and I will donate it or just give it to my sisters. Keep cleansing means keep decluttering. Something’s strange?

Well, if you keep decluttering so you will have less thing or worst you don’t have anything? I told you and like what I said before that when you do cleaning it means not only I’m decluttering but also maintaining everything I have. Well may be you are asking, minimalism teaches us to have less stuffs so we can save time from maintaining ( cleaning) yes I agree with that. But you have to take a note that save time means you can do it less than taken-time as usual. As usual you will spend your time around 30 minutes to clean out your room but when you have decluttered your room you will spend around 15 minutes.

Cleaning is my routine activity, I do it regularly. And the purpose is to maintain what I have so I don’t need to spend more money to buy something has broken. I can say that cleaning is the way I maintain my stuffs. What’s yours? Tell me the way you maintain your stuffs.

No Negativity on tattoos

Image
design and pict by Canva Some of societies have their own perspective on tattoos, some like it and some refuse it. If you are from those societies who refuse the existence of tattoos this is the right place to read because i'm going to tell you my story. I want to have a tattoo because the picture that I’m going to put on my body it means a lot for me. That pict is the depiction of my life. Sometimes i can’t tell anyone how I feel  beacuse it’s very privacy. But the way people reacted to my decision on having a tattoo was like this world would end. so, the first oneI told that I wanted to have tattoo was my mother. The way I told how desire I was to have tattoo was just like a joking and my mother didin’t take it so serious but then after many times I told my mother how desire I was to have it, my mother noticed it that this was serious and also this was the same way I told my sister and she noticed it too. Then my mother just gave  an anger explanation t...

Reward Yourself

Image
So, honestly I don’t know if this gonna works to everybody because this is my personal thing that I do to myself and also this is very helpful when I feel down and I can break it down, so it means I deserve a gift. Here I don’t hope to someone who will give a gift to me, I will go to somewhere that I want or buy something that I want. On the other hand if I completely accomplish my goals and have been discipline and being nice I will do this too. Yes rewarding myself. Nothing wrong to be proud of yourself and reward yourself. Back to discipline, it teaches you how to keep on your goals so everything you sacrifice for in the end you deserve a gift. If you keep focusing on your goals it means you have a ton of motivation (everyday may be) to reach your goals and also it means this way keeps you keep motivating because you know there’s something special in the end. I can say that rewarding yourself is the form of respect to yourself and this is so very important. You have to resp...

So for me the best place where you can declutter is the place where you go and fro frequently at home. I think if you look at that spot which is clean and tidy it would encourage you to do the next spot where you can declutter for the second time. But it’s up to you if you want to declutter the spot you like the most in your home. Also on this post I am going to list down the spots that I think we go and fro frequently in our home also (I think) these spots is the best start from you the beginner of being minimalist. So first I have some tips when you are doing decluttering, I know it’s hard to make decision that you have to remove everything you have, probably because those things are your favorite things and you don’t use them anymore or because those things have incredible memories, for me to keep the incredible memories it worth to keep it only in my mind or if you have photos you can scan them keep them on your computer or laptop. So here I want to assert that you have to ...
