Ever wondered if you own so much stuff that it just adds to your confusion than it gives you happiness and joy? Ever felt the mind is so unorganized and chaotic due to all these things you buy and want things to be as simple as it was before? Then, like many others, you too will find ‘Minimalists: Less Is Now’ life-changing.
‘Minimalists: Less Is Now‘ focuses on two friends, Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus, better known as The Minimalists, who show the benefits of living life as a minimalist. An Emmy-nominated Netflix original, ‘Minimalists: Less Is Now’ will be a perfect watch for your weekend.
Minimalists in the simple sense are people who practice minimalism, the art of only owning what you NEED, and not what you WANT. Unlike the rest of us, they don’t go shopping every now and then. Minimalism is not restricted to clothes but all belongings in general. The houses would have minimum necessities. And what does this lead to other than having fewer belongings and a more empty house? Mindfulness.
A majority of things we do, we do not consciously but out of compulsiveness. We get confused when we have too much to choose from. Especially in this time and age where marketing is so influential, minimalism is more relevant than ever. It’s about breaking away from the untrue need to buy that has crept inside us due to the extensive marketing by corporate giants.
Minimalism doesn’t simply mean having less, but being very mindful of what you have since you only have less. The mind then becomes less cluttered and we see we can enjoy life more experientially instead of buying more things and still feeling discontent inside. It signifies choosing to ignore all the small specifics and instead learning to notice and enjoy the important things. The documentary is one of the best of its kind out there and after watching it, you will never look at things the same way again.
