Imagine living your life with your arms filled
with things.
And everything that you’re carrying is everything
that you’re holding on to in your life.
Physically, mentally and emotionally.
Now the irony of this metaphor is that although
these things are heavy in your arms.
The bulk of this weight is truly resting on
you mentally and emotionally.
It’s consuming all of your life.
I shared a video awhile back expressing that
minimalism is mental first.
And how you have to first develop mental clarity,
followed by emotional clarity and then lastly
physical clarity.
Now why is this the case.
See in order for you to overcome overconsumption,
you have to first make the decision to do
so.
See every action you take requires an upfront
decision first.
Yes I’m going to continue to do this, or
no I’m not.
The second thing you have to do is, visualize
the benefits of consuming less for you.
Now imagine your arms are still filled with
all of those things as I expressed at the
beginning of this video.
It’s heavy right.
It’s slowing down your life and killing
your energy.
Now imagine sitting all of those things down.
And deciding for yourself that no I’m not
going to continue this.
How freeing would that feel?
The third thing you have to do is you have
to take action and set boundaries.
See now that you have this vision for your
life, it’s time to start taking action towards
making it a reality.
And of course things isn’t going to change
overnight and I'm not expecting them to.
But you can set boundaries in your life to
help control the things that you keep around
you and help prevent you from putting yourself
in a position that encourage consumption.
I really hope this short video made you think
and is encouraging you to start making a shift
in your life and the things that you consume.
Keep growing on your journey and always stay
true to you.
Peace.
Ok wait here's a quick bonus tip for you and
I'm going to keep this extremely real.
You have to learn how to think for yourself.
Society should not and does not have the ability
to control what you consume in your life.
You control your life and you control the
things that you decide to consume, period.
Peace!
