Minimalist Goals

Think of it as a discipline if you want, a cleansing.

Some might say, minimalism is about imposing less effort into items you own. In actuality, when you become a good minimalist everything you own matters to you in a very specific way. In fact you're going to have to put in a lot of time pondering something you may or may not buy, and also making sure the items are quality. The goal is you aren't going to spend money and time replacing it because if you own something there's a reason for it.

My advice, start by getting used to owning less. Wear basically the same thing every day. Have two of the same thing you love. Wear one of them out (I mean out). The fact is your clothing is quality in the first place.

Wardrobe items to keep: your favorite jeans, t-shirts, a turtle neck or knit sweater, a blazer, leggings, a quality button up, a dress, leather shoes, a jacket, anything with lon·gev·i·ty.

Believe it or not, It takes resources to make clothing. Also every physical item you bring home is a sacrifice of space. And the nightmare is being too overwhelmed with all of the clutter. If you can not move out of a home peacefully, too many materials are the matter in being unable to do so. Imagine creating a stress free home just like wanting to create a better environment for the planet. Earth, being too overwhelmed with the resources being wasted and put in landfills. Your home shouldn't be like what you see in wastelands.

Free yourself of the guilt of adding to the enormous pile of waist filling the world, because you don't need that luxury item for anything. And yes, new clothes are a luxury item. Unless you don't fit the clothes you already have or the are not proper any longer you will not need them. Have you ever had a time where you got to the store knowing you were not in need of anything new but still shopped for new clothing anyway not knowing why. Maybe that was comforting for you, it's just what people normally do. It's what you've always done because your family has always taught you it was important to adopt there mindsets. Probably just to get out of the house for an activity.

Well, the noun ( person, place or thing) or scenario don't require that we wear something different each recurring event or scheduled shift. So if there's an outfit you really like wearing, by all means wear that over and over again.

Nothing you own has to be stand outish, just clothes that people will take you in as a functioning member of society. And to save yourself for the trouble of a clutter that you should not have to deal with. Convert your outing wardrobe to uniformal wear. Other items are for when you feel like being extra comfy. (A manageable amount)

If there's something you feel the most glowing in, wear it when it's just you and the people you're close too. When you’re being productive what do you feel the most alert and refreshed in? And what do you feel the most wholesome and modest in? Wear it doing normal things you do every week.

In the urban world, ask yourself what outfit would I wear for the rest of my life. The answer should be something sensible, then wear it as long as you advisably are able to. That should teach you the discipline of minimalism you're probing for.

Forgive yourself for the mistaken belief that more is more. In a society that seems to have no limits, there is a danger in not disciplining yourself. Become aware of purpose and in this case what your personal style is. The main goal would be to invest in long lasting wear, knowing that's good enough, even as an everyday uniform if you will.
