Minimalism as a lifestyle: could you live with only 150 things?

Minimalist life

Things steal space and energy. In recent years, the minimalist movement has gained more and more followers. The essence of minimalism is living with as few things as possible and focusing on what makes us happy. But becoming a minimalist is extremely difficult, because just as it is usually difficult to buy something, it is even more difficult to get rid of it. The Japanese Fumi Sasaki managed to do it, because he owns only 150 things and says that he lacks nothing in his life. Could you live with so few personal possessions?

Last years minimalism we mainly associate with architecture, which is decorated with a well-refined design. Last but not least, it is a response to the overly decorated design of the past. Some are in the age of abundance or of conformity minimalism was also accepted as Lifestyle in terms of less is more and get rid of all unnecessary "junk" in life, which only takes our time and energy, but has no real added value when it comes to personal luck. The idea of minimalism is not to live in the past, but to experience each day to perfection. That's why we need energy and space.

Minimalism has become the most established way of life so far in Japan, where he was inspired by Zen, one of the oldest philosophies, and the embodiment of this new trend is Fumio Sasaki, a man who has only own 150 things, where, among other things, they belong three shirts, four pants and four pairs of socks. Do you think that your path to happiness is also minimalism or you could not give up so many things? If you don't feel fulfilled even by buying a large number of things and you do not succeed in filling the inner emptiness, then maybe minimalism (and not conformity) is the key to your happiness.
