Here
is wishing all my friends and family a very Happy New Year 2019. May this year
be more mindful and may we all resonate more with seeking good health, wealth
and peace and going minimalist(for those of you who really want to seek inner
peace and well being).
I
intend to start my journey of minimalism – this year. It has been seriously on my mind since more
than a year. In fact, I also tried it 2
years back, but I guess I wasn’t really serious about it. Having read a lot of
books on minimalism and also reading lot of blogs related to LESS IS MORE, I really
wanted to give it a shot. After a
staycation of about 7 days in a stretch, I realized that the most important
things that brought me happiness was nothing hurrying up, enjoying the simple
koffee with my hubby overlooking the highway and the garden from my home.
Simple
things like watching a movie, listening to a lovely piece of music, reading a
good book that I could relate to really mattered a lot to me. I was in such a state of peace and nirvana
when I spent those seven days (reinventing myself)- things that brought
happiness to me. We watched musical
shows together, went for a stroll and all these days I didn’t shop at unless it
was for food items and basic home shopping. Shopping was not on my mind at all and at the
end of these 7 days, I was yet happy. So, I had taken the baby steps to walking
and treading on this path of minimalism.
We
started off with de-cluttering our home (about 5 months back) since we had to
get our home done up (went for a simple and functional renovation) and the end
result was indeed amazing and happy feeling.
It not only brought a sense of calmness and peace, but every time I look
at my home, there is serenity since we have managed to keep the basic theme
simple.
We
gave away a lot of stuff to charity homes, donated clothes, bed linen, men and
women clothing, my accessories, my daughters clothes, her toys which she had
managed to hide in those places where I could never see. It brought happiness to all of us that we
could give away stuff that could be put to better use and functionality as
against lying in the wooden boxes and storage spaces in our home.
So
that’s my first intention for 2019 – start off with minimalism and hope to
achieve it over the next twelve months.
Walking
my body everyday atleast for 20 minutes a day – has something I have started
doing since the last one month, and I am surely seeing a lot of good results,
my face feels fresh and healthy and my cells are thanking me for it.
Thirdly,
we have started on a vegetable juice diet first thing in the morning, As this
blog progresses, I am going to share few recipes on how to go about it and how
one could kickstart on this very very important habit.
So
cheers to all of us, let’s be more happy, healthy and express gratitude every
single day!
Love
Rekha
