Black Friday For Minimalists

Minimalists' black friday

The darkest day for minimalists?

Yes! Everywhere is on sales.


Everyone you know is buying everything or something that their eyes caught hold on. And you? What are you waiting for?

"Go grab them!" your inner devil's voice said. 

"I'm a minimalist, I don't need any more stuffs!" here comes your inner's angel talking to you.

Ok fine! I will just switch on the TV or surf my Facebook! What could go wrong? You choose to ignore both the devil and the angel.

However, you saw ads on the TV screen and on your iPhone all over the place. You are tempted, what should you do?

Solutions for minimalists on black friday

I'll tell you what I did for my black Friday!

Well, I saw on Facebook that the whole road was jammed with car on the highway which look literally like christmas tree. I laughed to myself........

"What are all these people thinking? Can't they just shop online to buy the things they need or well the thing they want?"

For me, not only I didn't buy any stuffs, I choose to be at home with my family, as we know it will be full of crowd in the shopping malls and restaurants, we choose to order our food through food panda.

We choose to enjoy ourselves in our own small little home.

We choose to bless one another on this special day by having a small prayer deep in our heart.

We choose to play together after our dinner to strengthen our family bonding.

As simple as that!



How about you? Are you tempted by all those advertisements?

Life As A Minimalist After One Year

Image
One year after minimalism I still remember the first time when I was being introduced minimalism was around August 2016. As I couldn't find much videos about minimalism on YouTube, I started posting about become minimalist in Singapore on YouTube in August last year. And because of that, I was connected with like-minded minimalists and most of us are now in a Facebook Group (This is a closed group as we want to keep it minimalist!), it keeps growing bigger day by day though! So how's life for me after a year of minimalism? Well, below are some of my thoughts and practices: I no longer buy physical books but rather loan or buy online (we do have digital library which we circulate books around) I own lesser clothes than a year before (worn and torn clothes are being use as rags instead) I still listen to The Minimalist's Podcast to learn more about minimalism Those who knows that I'm a minimalist stopped buying stuffs for me (in...

Replacement

Having more with less When I have started journey to the less , I was all alone by myself. I didn't expect there are so many people who are like me desiring to have more with less . Until lately, we managed to connect like-minded people together via social media like Facebook and WhatsApp . No doubt that our group have grown, but each of us have lesser stuffs now as compared when we all first started. So as today topic is about replacement, therefore I would like to share one of the ways that works for me on the journey to minimalism. One good gadget for replacement for most of our clutters is our smartphone. And because of my smartphone, I no longer own or own lesser now for the items listed below (I will explain why too): Watches (my phone can tell me the date and time) Alarm clock (I can set alarm with my phone) GPS (I used to own a Garmin GPS in my car, now I don't need it because google map app replaced it) Car (I can now book for private car using ...

How I First Started

I first heard about the word " Minimalism " is through a writer named, Joshua Becker . After which I created a playlist named " Become Minimalist in Singapore " in my YouTube Channel . And during that point of time, what attracts me to find out more about minimalism is this phrase called " Less is More ". So how could you achieve more when you have less? Well, it may sounds ironic and abstract if you don't really get it at the first time. Ultimately, we are "conditioned" to believe that having more is equate to happiness since young . More toys, more dresses, more shoes etc. Anything that you can name it. However, ever since young as I grew up in a lower middle income family, though I have not much stuffs but I was really living a happy life. I enjoyed playing catching with my friends; playing marbles with my cousins etc. All these don't require much stuffs! Life was simple, we were happy even without much stuffs back th...
