Minimalism or intentionality.

Minimalism is the buzz word right now. Decluttering is the mantra of the first world. Clear, airy spaces, monochrome design, simplicity and downsizing are the answers to overconsumption that crushes us under huge piles of garbage.
I just cannot be a minimalist. I like cosy, a bit cluttered, warm interior of my home. All the things I own are of value and meaning to me. Nevertheless I do go through our aparment once in a while and find stuff to give to others or dispose of,  hopefully in the least wasteful manner possible.
What I do commit to is intentional living and intentional consumption. From food, through books, music, appointments, sporting activities to clothes shoes and handbags - I try and appreciate what I have. I am mindful of what and how much I am able to use up or take advantage of. And I attempt to use my time and money wisely.
These are of course premises that I set for myself. Overconsumption always wears me out. Some mental hygene hopefully helps in releaving any anxiety and depression that every so often comes my way. We all need to carry ourselves sensibly in this ridicolous age of advertising and propaganda.
Take care and be intentional!
