Minimalism [SELF Cares]( [kitchen interior] [pile of books] Today, we're talking about... Minimalism Having fewer things and, therefore, fewer things to do and worry about, is a nice little fantasy of mine. I think about being a minimalist the way I think about having a kitchen island one day or learning to surf in Australia. Wouldn't it be lovely, I think, if I didn't have all this other... stuff to deal with? The big hurdle for me is that I always forget that doing less often starts with doing more. It requires taking a real, hard look at what you truly need every day. And often, you'll end up needing to experiment with a bunch of different ways of doing your makeup, cooking your food, streamlining your fitness routine, and organizing your work before you land on the one simple way that actually works for you. You have to do the meal prep before you can enjoy the meal, after all. That's always the catch, it turns out: The way someone else has mastered minimalism isn't necessarily going to work for you. That doesn't mean you can't do it—it just means you can't copy and paste their solutions for your challenges. Thankfully, we've written a lot at SELF about ways to do more with less. I hope these articles give you a solid place to start and some examples that prove a little less is possible for just about anyone.
