Japanese Minimalism HOW YOU CAN USE IT TO SIMPLIFY YOUR LIFE AND BE HAPPIER
Japanese culture can teach us a lot about living a simplistic, clutter-free life. This lifestyle leads to more mindfulness and gratitude, and results in a better quality of life. Here are some tips to try in your daily routine.
1. Time Optimisation INVEST YOUR TIME WISELY Spend time on activities that recharge you Invest time in learning and getting better Have time for the people you love Don't waste time on mindless activities (TV, Facebook, aimless Internet browsing) Get rid of "toxic" relationships
2. Tidy Up Once and For All IMPLEMENT THE #KONMARI METHOD Tidy up everything in one go and then just maintain Change your mindset towards material objects - only keep things that "spark joy" Organise by category, not by location Toss away all useless memorabilia Keep surfaces clean
3. Optimize Space DON'T CRAMP YOUR HOME Keep surfaces clear Don't display everything you own Show only things that spark joy when you see them and arrange in an aesthetic manner Don't buy new furniture, unless it's essential or to replace something old
4. No Snacking DON'T KEEP SNACKS AT HOME If you don't keep snacks and "junk food" at home, you won't eat it Stock on fresh fruit and veggies Japanese people have three well-rounded nutritious meals a day and don't feel the need to snack in-between
5. Live Now BE MINDFUL AND LIVE IN THE PRESENT True Zen is hard to achieve, but you can begin by stop worrying about the future and reminiscing about the past Enjoy the present moment and be grateful for the people and things you have in your life now.
