Synopsis

5 years ago, I became deeply interested in simplifying my life. By leaving my home to travel for two years, I found myself condensing my needs down to what could fit in my backpack.

But you don’t need to do something so extreme such as becoming a backpacker to inspire you to want and pursue a simpler, calmer life.

Let's face facts, modern life is complex, at times overwhelming, and often, full of stress. We own too much stuff, we spend too much money, we immerse ourselves in complicated online worlds; we spend most of our time trying to juggle a million things because it's what we have been conditioned to do.

We can be so deeply entrenched in our habits, that we don't know where to begin in changing things, even if we desperately want to. We are aware that consumerism and wastefulness is destroying our environment and yet we don't take a few simple steps that when combined, can and will change the future.

How did I adopt a simpler life?

  • I decluttered my home.
  • I formed a healthier more sustainable relationship with my material goods and consumerism.
  • I got myself organized, and started to approach life with clearer focus.
  • I reviewed my use of social networks and devices, to see if I was getting any value from my online activities.
  • I changed my spending habits, dug myself out of debt, and began saving up for my life goal: to travel the world.

Adopting a more minimalist lifestyle won't fix you, or your life, erase your bad memories, or change the way your brain works. But it's an active process that anyone can partake in if they want to get more out of their life. There are definite benefits to a simpler life, with less distractions, and I believe a major one, is achieving an inner calm .But most importantly, it's good for the world, for your family and for the future of this planet.
