Being Different

There aren't a lot of things I dislike, at least that's what I like to think. There are things I don't see the benefit to do but still do. Like our floor is vinyl why do I need to vacuum if I dust it of and wipe the floor. I just don't like to do things that aren't needed.

I like to eliminate steps in things I do. It does takes some time and rethinking my processes. Like why is the table always full of stuff. My room looks splendid and free of clutter. I love to spend time there but I also love people around me but the clutter others leave behind are things I can't cope with yet. I haven't learned to ignore stuff of others.

It's also reflects in my  behavior towards others like I would request others to be quiet in the quite part of a wagon. Or if you litter I would not only look like aren't you going to pick it up and tell you if you plan to walk away. Yes, I do stick my nose into things I shouldn't.

Sometimes it's better to back-off and get a different point of view of a situation before I judge or give my opinion about it. Minimalism has a great impact in my everyday life. Like letting go of a lot of feelings I had before. Like being angry at something small could drive me crazy before. Now I can turn my back around and ignore it.

I used to dislike going to my desk because it's always cluttered. The clean and empty surface makes it so inviting to sit behind it and learn different things. There was always something on my shoulder when I sat behind my desk. Like there is something else calling me. It's great that nowadays that has changed. My desk only has a cup with pencil on it, the rest is in drawers and not in eyesight.

Small changes around the house can make a person different and I am not talking about decorations. Learning to embrace some emptiness is different but can also benefit a minimalist.
