Clear surfaces and uncluttered spaces for a less stressful environment

Feel free to unplug, “detox” and partake in digital breaks regularly (this includes social media, electronics, and everything concerning digital minimalism)

Saying “No” to things like commitments that aren’t passions, stuff from family members and friends, and stressful social situations. This allows the possibility of engaging in activities and including things in my life that better my well-being and exercise mindfulness

Be realistic about entertaining decorations and events. There’s no reason to go gung-ho on wasteful decorations that you won’t reuse again or have a use for after wards. Same goes with supplies and clothing/costumes for themed-parties. For example, if you have 20 various drinking glasses but only use 2 or 5 when you have company over, and/or don’t throw social-gatherings frequently, then ask yourself do you really need all 20 drinking glasses. For themed-party attire, look into borrowing from a friend or becoming more creative with what you do have. If it’s truly essential to you and you want to get into the spirit of a big costume event, then look into renting.

Love what you do and do what you love (this includes employment, daily activities, you name it)

Get into the habit of shopping with a budget/limit

Put effort towards choosing quality over quantity specifically when it comes to household items and clothes

Invest in experiences instead of items or materialism

Take your time with decluttering and try to categorize what you want to declutter. Enjoy the journey and enjoy getting to learn more about what’s important to you. It’s part of the process. You don’t need to become victim to some 30-day challenge. If you want to focus on a specific room in your house or collection of items you have, take that baby step first. Minimalism is a mindset that paves a way to mindful (and often times, sustainable) habits
