With my impending departure for law school I have been in an odd mood. I've mentally critiqued my lifestyle and have more or less purged my bedroom. I'm in the process of letting go over several items (clothes, makeup, paperwork, etc.)
In a sense I'm trying to accept the fact that I'm moving 2,000 miles away in August by trying to live with less. It's something in my life that I can control for monetary and mindful reasons. Having less stuff makes me feel invigorated. I'm not saying that I do not enjoy shopping, but rather that I'm in the process of developing a sense of self that is beyond tangibles.
The things that matter most are intangible, and by having less you can feel more connected with you.
Releasing all my unneeded clutter has decreased my stress level and has led me to think more about what a necessity really is.
If anyone has any recommendations or tips on this minimalist approach, please comment.
