So you've decluttered your space and other
areas of your life.
Things seem simple now.
For now, because unfortunately, you're continuing
to find yourself back at square one.
On a constant loop of buying and then decluttering.
Decluttering and then buying.
And you're not sure why.
You just know from experience that what you're
doing, isn't working.
And now you're discouraged.
Sitting there second guessing this whole journey
you've started.
But wait.. before you give up and quit.
Here's a secret to help you make this habit
stick.
See the secret to owning less, is not avoiding
your favorite store.
It's not turning a blind eye to all consumer
marketing.
It's not the Jones.
They're not your problem.
Although managing your relationship with these
things is important.
The secret is actually simpler than you think.
Come here.
The secret to owning less.
Is wanting less.
But see it’s not just wanting less stuff
and things.
As I’ve said the secret to owning less is
simple.
But I never mentioned it being easy.
See wanting less requires a shift in thinking.
Reconstructing the way you analyze and process
everything.
So instead of thinking about wanting less
stuff and things.
Instead think about wanting less obligations.
The more stuff you have, the more stuff you
have to do.
In others words when you own more.
More action is required of you to manage it.
See having obligations that don’t add value
to you are considered constraints.
Things that are limiting your freedom and
the time you have to do what’s most important
to you.
Now don’t get wrong, living a simple life
and owning less is not being free from responsibility.
We all have our own responsibilities and things
we have to take care of.
That’s apart of life right.
There’s no way around that.
But it is being free from constraints.
The things that are stealing your time, energy
and peace.
So now the question becomes well how do we
better manage our obligations and keep all
constraints to a minimum.
Two things.
Number one, is building a solid daily routine
filled with the right habits that add value
to you.
See having a daily routine or a morning routine,
ensures that your day always starts on a positive
note and that you’re focused on what you
need to be focused on.
See if you don’t have a direction for your
life then you will not have progress.
Number two, is to get clear on your goals
and building systems and actions that support
what you want.
So if owning less is your goal, then wanting
less because the systems on how you do it.
Now keep in mind as you continue to grow and
evolve in life.
So will your definition of owning less, because
different stages in life require different
things and necessities, but the key is keep
a consistent mindset around wanting less.
Because when you want less, you always own
less.
That's the secret.
