Decided to post these videos, taken the day we moved in. We popped a bottle to celebrate (our friend accidentally took a video, and ran through the house with sage to get rid of bad omens and spirits).
Isn't it funny how easy it is to minimize your worldly items when you move? And just how quickly and easy you consume to fill your life back up? I think is important is that we do not overly consume. As Americans, we always want the next best item, the newest trend, the best electronics. We even purchase more items to simplify our lives. I know I personally like to purchase items because it fills a temporary void.
So even if you haven't moved in a while, take a look at what you own. How much of it do you really use? If you haven't worn that shirt in a year, donate it. If you feel that your items are weighing you down, I suggest this book/blog written by Joshua Becker. http://www.becomingminimalist.com/ following this lifestyle shows us how to "stop consuming and start living"
I know for myself I am trying to use less. One of my dreams in a different life would be to give away everything I own (minus the sentimental things) and travel with nothing but my backpack. Then I could really live minimalistic once I returned to a place I wanted to call home.
Thing about what you own and compare it to who you love. A mere reality of what really matters in life, to love and be loved in return.
