Does Minimalism Lead to a Longer Life?

In episode 32 of the Anti-Aging Lifestyle I go over the concept of minimalism and how we can apply those concepts to improve the quality of our life.

Some highlights from the episode:

Minimalism Defined: Living with the essentials, learning to let go of material desires.

Societal Pressures: Why almost everywhere we look, we see signs of materialism in our society.

Minimalism Benefits:

More Free Time: Less shopping and focus on the material means more free time for the things that really matter in life.

More Money: You will have more money to save, invest, and use to improve the quality of your life and your skillsets.

Cleaning: With less things, you will suddenly find it much easier to keep the house clean and tidy.

Lower Stress: When you get out of the wheel of materialism, you will find less stress and lower cortisol levels that will overall make you healthier, and your life more enjoyable.

Better Eating: A more organized life most likely means a higher quality nutritional intake.

Less Decision Fatigue: Less options and mental waste means more time and energy to focus on important things.

3 Biggest Stresses in Life:

Financial Stress: Like we mentioned earlier, the lower your expenses the lower your stress. The more you are able to invest in yourself.

Job Satisfaction Stress: When you eliminate your need to constantly spend money, you become more free to spend your time on what you love, instead of what brings in more money.

Relationship Stress: When you’re not worried about your finances, you are more able to enjoy spending quality time building real connection with someone.

Potential “Warnings”

Declutter Anxiety: You may find that giving things away, selling things, and/or throwing things out, is an incredible challenging process in itself.

Empty Space: When you simplify your life, you will suddenly find a lot more physical and mental space that you didn’t previously have. This can sometimes be daunting. Don’t be afraid. Face the silence, ask the hard questions, and become more.

I finish the episode with Tomko Tip #32 where I give you my best first step in beginning your decluttering process. I talk about my biggest take away from Marie Kondo’s book “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up.”
