Why Minimalism is Important to me

         So I myself have talked a little bit about my journey into minimalism at the point. Which if I looked into my life now would be crazy. My closet had exploded with art supplies and I was tired of it so I decided to change. Soon after I got rid of most of it and decided to just dedicate a small space for my craft supplies. I don't use most of it still as much as I would like but it 100% has a purpose. (why I've kept it and tutorial - coming soon).

                 Since it was the new year I wanted to get back into my minimalistic ways I decided to get rid of stuff and get things back in order. I separated things the Marie Kondo way and I love it. Now that the Marie Kondo show has come out de-cluttering her way has become almost "trendy". Which I kinda hate in some ways to be honest. I mean 100% I love others de-cluttering and if this does it for you great but I really wish more people had dedicated to before the show. I guess for me it's annoying how it presents itself now. Anyway lets not get on the trend rant train.

                         So I found out about minimalism 3ish years ago and I wanted to try it instantly. But I didn't I waited because I thought my materialistic mother would hate me for it. Which in turn to my surprise she was filled with hatred in the ways I wanted to make change. I finally took the bullet and did it. I de-cluttered my life but I didn't fully do it. I felt like this was a first step and I could go back and make the changes later. but that's the thing I didn't I took a break.

           After another year I came back and de-cluttered most of it. A few things I see I am like oh yeah I could toss it but Overall I got rid of the things that I would look at and fill with hatred. After all of this I feel I could get rid of some more things. But the real reason all the minimalistic thoughts and movements changed me were because of my childhood. My parents felt that the best way to fill my childhood was with materialistic objects. Everywhere I would look I would see things and after awhile my mind felt cluttered. It wasn't toys but the everything everywhere. My mother's childhood wasn't great and so she was and can be just so attached to materialistic objects. I love everything I own. Sure there are a few things I want to get rid of but minimalism is more of the things in you head than in your face.

My 5 AM Morning Rountine

Welcome back or welcome! When I started my Reset my Life challenge I went to tackle habits one of them being sleep. I wanted to make sure that I was fully productive and waking up and getting to it always set me upright. I feel that it is important to be productive especially when first waking to starting your morning right. So I First start out by waking up and making my bed getting straight away. I then go to the kitchen and make my green tea. I set out everything the night before. I head to my room and well drinking my green tea I do my morning pages and look at my schedule and goals for the day. Once I am done with that part of my morning I put on my workout clothes and head to the gym. If you want to know my fitness routine Check here. After the gym, I come home to shower and get dressed for the day. Then I start to do my day's work of studying and writing. I know that this post is short but I like to keep things simple. Easy. Yet Productive. I love that in this v...

What Video Games can teach you about living a Meaningful Life

             Most often minimalists will talk about removing things that make you unhappy. But sometimes they say that they don't have time to do the things that they love like playing video games.                    So what's the real reason for me using video games as an objective thing to teach a lesson. Well, great question but it's more about me wanting to say I had an awesome childhood and family where we would gather together in the living room and all go through 3 or 4 dungeons on World of Warcraft or Guild of wars 2 or whatever game we were playing together at the time. Well, I do wish we still did this I know the benefits of control and discipline (as well as how awesome my parents are).               When you love video games there is a difference between loving and choosing. You want to play them every hour of the day and that's what childhoo...
