I cook a lot and need those five pots in my rotation. What I quickly realised was that even though I have more stuff than a strict minimalist, I use it all. Having five pots instead of two in the kitchen. Watching how others share video and images of their homes, makes me feel like I’m not living a minimalist life. But what have I created or lack thereof to not feel comfortable sharing with others? Why does our place need to look “perfect” before I share it?įurther reading: Our Minimalist Bathroom Essentials I keep saying to myself “I’m not ready, our place is not ready”. I’ve been waiting to write content about our place and do a tour of our minimalist home after coming up with some blog topic ideas for well over a year, pushing it back every time I look at it. I don’t want things from the previous day hanging around. This is because when I get up in the morning, I like to start my day fresh. įor example, cushions in their place on the couch, kitchen clean, things put away etc. I struggle to go to sleep if the downstairs isn’t visually reset. When you have an eye for detail, and like your surroundings to look nice, you end up having it at the top of your priority list in more ways than one. Maybe I’m OCD, maybe I’m just someone that likes cleaning, but this would be something that would make me uncomfortable. Note: if you’re interested, we recorded a podcast episode about minimalist aesthetic.Ī mentor mentioned to me a few months ago, “Maša, give yourself the task of writing while the kitchen is messy”. Having that kind of standard, I find myself spending time cleaning, tidying and resetting visual standards after use all the time. I like things to be tidy, clean and pretty. One thing that I’ve had a lot of challenges with has been the minimalist aesthetic.
Being intentional with everything in your life and eliminating the unnecessary, the clutter, and the things that weigh you down is how I define it. I love minimalism and what it stands for but it’s different for everyone.
Asking myself “am I portraying what minimalism is?” on a regular basis. Ever since we embarked on the minimalist journey in 2014, I’ ve created this ideal in my head.
