The Philosophy of Minimalism — Living Large With Less

https://livinglargewithless.net/blog/2016/6/30/the-philosophy-of-minimalism

# The Philosophy of Minimalism. As I was thinking about what to write I thought it’d be good to share more of the philosophy of minimalism to help readers get the “why” behind the practice. But for minimalism or simplicity or whatever you want to call it to work, you will need to cultivate some convictions about what you desire for your life to look like. The reality is that our behavior flows from our belief system and until we adopt the philosophy of minimalism we will never adapt our lives to its principles. My philosophy of minimalism is “an intentional mode of living that understands simpler is usually better, less stuff equals more life, time has greater value than money, and people are higher priorities than possessions.” That is my worldview and my life flows from it. I’d like to think the sailboat represents our dreams of a simpler life yet until we hoist the sails of principled patterns of living we’ll stay moored in the proverbial harbor.

Minimalism - a trend, a lifestyle, or a philosophy?

https://www.byarcadia.org/post/minimalism-a-trend-a-lifestyle-or-a-philosophy

It has many variations and interpretations but, in general, living minimalistically affects an individual's attitude towards their personal possessions, consumer behaviors, work-life balance, relationships, and leisure time. This bleeds into other trends, such as the tiny house movement - where living in extremely small, sometimes mobile spaces leave room for larger experiences and meaningful relationships (Harris, 2018); off-grid living, which involves disconnecting from public utilities such as the electrical power grid or water piping system; and the nomadic lifestyle, which involves living out of a backpack while working remotely and traveling the world. Another aspect of the minimalist lifestyle affects the work-life balance. Similarly to de-cluttering, concepts like quiet-quitting, reducing working hours, refusing promotions, or simply working less are meant to bring back the lost contempt in the life of minimalists (Babauta, 2022). *Image 4: Tidy minimal interior, Tu. Overall, the minimalist lifestyle, driven by the aspiration of having a meaningful, fulfilled, and happy life in a world of ‘too much’ is suggesting a change of conduct, not unlike some Buddhist and Islamic teachings.

What Is Minimalism? - Becoming Minimalist

https://www.becomingminimalist.com/what-is-minimalism/

Like I mentioned before, minimalism is intentionally living with only the things I really need—those items that support my purpose. Becoming a minimalist slows down life and frees us from this modern hysteria to live faster. We have embraced minimalist living and will never go back to the way life was before. It means removing anything that distracts us from living with intentionality and freedom. Becoming minimalist frees us to live a bigger life with a more passionate pursuit of our greatest purpose and goals. Remember, less is not the same as “none.” There are no specific rules to simple living and nobody is required to get rid of things that bring value to their life. Though have never thought in a way it is philosophied , being from a society that most are living in much minimized way but not conciously and intentionally, I use to think how”the rich ” in my society can highly reduce their excessive consumerism.
