Minimalism is a modern incarnation of an ancient philosophy — the premise is to simplify. The minimalist would have you declutter your home. Buy fewer things. Save money. Throw out unneeded stuff and create for yourself extra space and time.
Now let’s talk about decluttering your mind. The minimalist would say, be skeptical. About what you hear on the radio or see on TV or read in mainstream and social media. Beware of experts with financial interests. Let go of outdated ideas. Discount conventional wisdom and conformist thinking. Let go of your own rationalizations driven by ego and insecurity. Free yourself from all that mental baggage.
You see, the mind is like a garden that’s gone to seed and needs some weeding.
Or is it?
