Bra kanal (om minimalismfilosofi)

Minimalism som filosofi

Hej!
Jag tänkte att jag skulle rekommendera den (enligt mig) bästa Minimalistkanalen för stunden. Tro mig jag har sökt mycket! Den här tjejen har kommit långt! MJ Gordon heter kanalen och jag har tagit mig friheten att citera henne. Se gärna videon längre ner. Mycket insiktsfullt! :-)
Upptäckte henne i avsnitt 204 av TheMinimalist. Tror hon heter Marin Jayden.

8:50 ”It all starts with that root philosophy that minimalism takes on ”rid yourself of the stuff that doesn’t add value to your life, keep and cultivate things that do.”” – MJ Gordon, https://youtu.be/Wh-rZ24GMpk

1:30 ”I can easily get caught,  up in this wave of “do more, have more, be more” and fall into this exhausting cyclical trap.”
“So first thing first. Minimalism is kind of more of a movement, it’s  a philosophy. It is not lets just own as little amount as possible and count 20 things, 50 things, “it's all I ever wanna own”. “I wanna live in a backpack”. Now some people use it for that, it’s nothing wrong with that. But really the new movement of minimalism is the idea of identifying the things that add value in your life. And then choosing to let those things that don’t go. And keeping and cultivating the things that do.” – MJ Gordon

3:10 “And what I see minimalism of, it’s a trade.”

Fashionable – comfort and carefree feeling

3:25 “My experience of what I had to trade or give up to be a minimalist.”
“I traded being trendy or fashionably hip for comfort in my clothes, ease, lack of care. A carefree feeling or attitude regardless of what I’m wearing. Where I am going or who’s judging me. So I trades trendiness and being fashionably hip for comfort and the feeling of being carefree.” – MJ Gordon

Obligation - self-respect

4:00 “I also traded obligation. The feeling of having to do something that I don’t want to do. For respect, self-respect but also respect from others. And being able to identify who the people in my life truly respected me were. People can use obligation as a manipulative tool, especially when you care about them and they’re in your life. And it is so unbelievable toxic, so unbelievable draining and negative, and something I see in many people’s lives, especially good people that I really care about, and my friendship and my family. People who go above and beyond to be not only a good person in their life but give more than they receive to others in their lives.” – MJ Gordon

Desire - Gratitude

5:50 “The next thing I trades was Desire. I do have desires, I am a human being. But you know that pulling desire like “I want something more”, like “life’s not enough”, and just feeling the need to go out and get. Like I used to just like “need “to have like the best tasting food every single meal.” – MJ Gordon

6:35 “So I have removed those kinds of pulls, or those kind of ties to desires and replaced them with gratitude. This is not  something I did like decided, it’s through this practice of minimalism, this is the result.” – MJ Gordon

Unfulfillment - Abundance

6:55 “Unfulfillment or feelings of needing more in my life have been traded for abundance and this scene of abundance.” – MJ Gordon

Overwhelm – Time / Presence

7:45 “The next thing that I gave up was Overwhelm. And I traded overwhelm for time and presence. Rather than feeling overwhelmed with everything that I had to do, ending my day with not enough time. Most of my days I end my day feeling completely satisfied, like we did well today. It was balanced, we got work done, we spent quality time together. I took care of myself, the house is clean. We get to relax and this is just perfect. And it feels like I have time to be present with my family. Time to be present with my own health, and space to journal, reflect, work out etcetera. And time to be presence with my clients and my work. It is never fun feeling like you have a whole list to do and all these loose ends that can never get tied up because we don’t have enough time. And it’s overwhelming.” – MJ Gordon

Stress – Energy/Health

8:40 “I traded stress for more energy, for more health. And if you know me and been a part of this channel and you’ve seen.. You know that my main thing is that if you have an abundance of time and energy then you literally can do anything. Like that is my theory and it’s been true so far. The only thing that is holding us back is feeling like we don’t have the time and energy to do it. If we had enough time and energy we could find solutions for all problems. We would have the motivations, we would have the stamina to continue to show up and work out every single day. To continue to show up and be patience with the people who really test our patience etcetera. But when our resilience is really low our stress levels or the amount of stress we experience becomes really high. Minimalism has help me identify what thing cause stress, what thing add to the stress and what thing can I replace to remove the stress. And then cultivating and utilizing this practice over time; life just become more! This sound crazy because we just talked about, the problem is “do more, be more, have more”, I do more, I am more, I have more. But I have more of the things that are important to me. The things that establish true satisfaction, happiness, fulfillment, self confidence,  deep meaningful relationships and I have an abundance of value. Which I can now intern with this abundance of time and energy help add more meaning and value to other people in my life.” – MJ Gordon
