What is minimalist living? What does minimalist life look like as you understand it? Some people say that minimalist life is "picking the door", thinking about everything to buy, being harsh on yourself, what's the meaning of living?
But the minimalist life I understand is not material cultivation, but it makes me understand that 90% of the things around us have no meaning. So that we can devote our energy and time to 1% of the good people, things and things.
Minimalism does not mean that you have nothing and can't buy anything, but that you learn to face up to your own needs and what you have. In fact, we have a choice to buy, only buy what we really need, and discard what is irrelevant in life.
Leaving only what is necessary and most important will not only help us save money, but also make our lives easier! After the age of 30, I feel that too much pursuit of material life will make me more anxious.
And the appropriate "picking" a little bit reduces the material needs, but the heart becomes rich! So how do you "pick and search"? Today I summarized 6 don't buy, so that you can save money and not be anxious, the main thing is a cost-effective, sisters, you absorb it on demand!
1. Don't buy expensive cosmetics
In the past, I couldn't wait to buy any big-name cosmetics recommended by the anchor, and almost all my monthly salary was smashed on my face, just to be expensive in front of people, and then follow the trend to buy big-name cosmetics that really don't necessarily suit my skin type.
And choose one that suits you, it's not expensive, there's nothing to be ashamed of, you no longer pay for vanity, and your heart is also very down-to-earth. Regarding makeup, it is also to buy only two, and if you buy too much, it is a waste of money, and you should adhere to one principle when you buy things, that is, it suits you, one in and one out.
2. Don't buy big-name bags
When I first graduated, I liked to buy bags, and even fanatically pursued big brand bags. After the minimalist life, I no longer pursue playing cards, nor blindly follow the trend, I have been brainwashed, and I will only buy practical and high-quality bags after flattering big-name bags.
Brand-name bags are not a symbol of their own identity, and the pursuit of big brands is no longer something I want to do at this age, anyway, bags are just tools for loading things, and they are mainly practical. I'll tell you a funny thing, I think sometimes I only use takeout bags at work, and the effect is the same anyway!
3. Don't buy cheap jewelry
Some people say that those cheap jewelry, there is not much money in total, buy some usual matching clothes, and it is not distressing to throw them away directly after they fade. The little sisters we go shopping with often go to that kind of jewelry store for 2 hours, and for me who never buys, then I think I "pick" to the extreme!
In my opinion, these things are bought, after a short period of satisfying the emotional value, there is no meaning, and there is no difference between throwing money in vain, we might as well save the money to buy cheap jewelry, and it is also good to buy gold, at least it will not be thrown away because of fading!
4. Don't buy too many clothes
How do I describe the annoyance of too many clothes? I used to have clothes with a lot of fabrics, but after wearing them for a while, I felt that only pure cotton was the most comfortable. Some other fabrics are slowly being idle,
I don't want to spend too much time and energy on collocation and seasonal tidying, people are tired. Buying less clothes is fine, and there are only a few pieces with a high upper body rate, and I slowly feel that there is really no need to be greedy for clothes!
5. Don't blindly pursue electronics
A mobile phone bought after the trend may cost tens of thousands of yuan. What is the concept of 10,000 yuan, maybe in a small county, it may be the salary of ordinary people for 2-3 months, 10,000 yuan can buy washing machines, refrigerators, air conditioners and even so on.
And when we use mobile phones, it is nothing more than a few commonly used functions. It's better to do so many face-saving projects than to take a good commission, and the money has to be spent on the blade!
6. Don't buy fitness cards or yoga cards
I bought a fitness card and a yoga card all went to the water, the yoga card went for a week a year, the fitness card went a few times, the boss also ran away, this year,
Not only are we not self-disciplined, but the gym owner is also unreliable, when we get up one day to sleep, the building will be empty, and if we want to work out and yoga, it is not impossible to find teaching videos at home!
summary
30+ minimalist life, "picking" is not ashamed at all, after buying and buying, it leads to no money and anxiety is really a headache, when we let go of some unnecessary expenses, not brainwashed by advertising, do not pursue too much material, but pursue inner satisfaction, in order to let us experience the true meaning of minimalist life.
