A GREATER SENSE OF SELF: YOU ARE MORE THAN YOUR POSSESSIONS

Life is more than those fancy possessions

After spending most of my Sunday cleaning my overloading wardrobe, my dressing room, and my shoe rack, I happened to get some time for a walk in the evening. I met a neighbor during that 30 minutes walk and stuck up a conversation with her. We both shared the same facts that more than half of our Sunday had been wasted taking care of things we owned. Though we didn't end up being involved in a long conversation, it was spiced up enough to introduce me to the idea of minimalism. She clearly explained the meaning by saying that there is more amount of joy to be found in owning lesser than what we own.

Actually, it didn't take her much effort to convince me about the concept as  I already have the idea from my mom who constantly pokes me for owning too much stuff. Often my mom is always after getting rid of anything and everything that was there in my room and I didn’t need it. To this end, living with less is always sampled. Many times, the word minimalism brought a negative connotation to me and my mates. The fact being living as a minimalist means you are sacrificing things. Really? This is perfectly a wrong perception that we all have in our mind and we need to learn about what minimalism really is.

What is Minimalism?

Being a minimalist is a state of mind. Actually, it means you have more of what you need. Some people believe it to be living a life in the woods without the conveniences of the world. Those who are living the same way are living by their means but minimalism is something that is not to be taken that far. Minimalism can be utilized in many other ways and do not require any real sacrifices.

FIRST STEP TOWARDS MINIMALISM

I hope with the introduction you are pretty much convinced that living a minimalistic life does make sense. But what is the next step? It is quite simple. There are simple steps you can do to begin a minimalistic lifestyle.

These little things are good to start and you can see how these will benefit you in many ways that you might not be aware of. The decision should come from within to live with less. Try to create space for family and friends and see how it influence the rest of your life. When you make room for just the necessary things, you will soon make room for joy. To help you be more convinced, here are a few benefits of living a minimalist life:

Lesser things to worry about

When you start decluttering your home, you will find your mind being more focused and less distracted. Of Course, when you have plenty of things going around in your mind, your performance will be affected just as when you open multiple tabs at once and there is a slight difference in the performance of your computer. Our brain function will be affected similarly resulting in a slower response. So, practicing minimalism will draw our focus on the important tasks and we will be left with lesser things to worry about and the happier we will be.

Confidence and Contentment

Living a minimalist style will allow us all to undeniably identify our priorities and use them to direct us to a happy life. To live a life full of contentment you need to understand what your value is, what are things that matter the most to you in life and let go off things that hold you back. Be confident enough to pursue your passions, bring things to life that are useful and live a life with intention and purpose.

Adjust priorities

Embracing minimalism will make you realize that life is much more than hating Mondays. If you really do not want to waste your life hating Mondays, paying bills, waiting for weekends and working late night, start living a minimalist life truly. It will always make you remember what is important for you in life: laughing with family and friends, exploring, falling in love and much more. Minimalism will truly help you to remove the distractions and realize the essence of life.

Play the comparison game

We mostly spend our thinking of things we do not own and fail to appreciate the things we own. Nobody is going to talk about at our funeral what technology you carried in your pocket and what expensive shoes you wore. We are constantly comparing what others have and strive for things trying to impress others and ignore the joy right in front of us.

Live more with less. It’s completely your choice. Clear the external space and give more space for internal serenity. Be curious and daring to be a beginner minimalism, get back if you fall, draw focus to yourself instead of your possessions, and you will see your lifestyle change.

Society have seen many  age

The life of people are enacted on stage

The thoughts are pressurizing the gauge

You should know your rights before earning wage.

By writing the full page,

You can’t change what is already engage,

But the action should be taken from teenage,

To make them privilege.

You alone can’t manage,

Women also need adage,

To control this savage,

Women must also learn how to damage.

Its not just a sage,

But the flower to plant in thoughts cottage.

                               The women empowerment, isn’t a common topic nowadays? But what do we know about Women Empowerment, it’s just a topic to debate or it needed to be scrutinized or examined properly? Well, the dogma has it’s day, the agonizing and miserable permanence is that it is just a manifesto for the discussion and I am sure those discussions will only construct the identity not silhouette. Well, we say that we reached at moon, we reached vast in the universe but in reality the nuts and bolts of our mind are only fixing contraption not the human.

Our minds are only connected to hands to earn money not to equalize the society. Dominance is what we want, either male or female they both enjoy being dominant. We discuss and debate a lot about Women Empowerment but do we know that we only discuss the issues, not the procedure to stabilize predicament.The dilemma will not resolve until we owe the rights to vacillate. The question to you is that you are reading my article because you love reading or you found this topic to be interesting. Yet, you might have realized that vogue of writing is bit autocratic and insolent, the person behind the article might be dictator or narcissist. But the answer to whomsoever is reading this article is all of us have insolent thoughts and narcissist nature, but do you know how? We all think for ourselves first and this is how narcissism definition is defined.

Just take glance to your past, have you being in a situation where you saw something happening wrong with women and you wanted to stop that but since other didn’t you also followed the “Bhaid ke chaal” i.e. what others are doing you just follow them because the so called society have given you the tag of “respected person” and you wanted to maintain the dignity for this reason or you might be coward. Now imagine the situation where your sister, mother or wife is on that place of victim then, what you will do. Will you maintain your dignity of being called “respected person” or will you keep your mouth shut because it can harm your family reputation? The answer to this is that you will forget everything you will just fight for getting the justice right. Till now, you was thinking that it could not happen with your family members, your women does not need empowerment and that’s where all the thought process ends-up. By thinking in this idiosyncrasy actually you are not allowing the empowerment to happen the debate just increased the TRP for a moment in your mind but your thoughts TRP de-synchronized after the conclusion. Just by a small statement “It can’t happen with us”. There are 8 billion and counting people in this world right now, each of them is thinking in same manner but still in the society the crime on women are happening. Because you taught your boy that you should be strong and your girl that “you are girl, you should not do this, you should not wear dress like this, you should not talk like this” and that’s where you are making her inferior and discouraging her to be get empowered. It is the root of all problems and the first stage where we should improve to revolutionized the Women Empowerment.

If your girl will feel strong then as women they are automatically empowered by their own thoughts and actions. We take all the blunders in our mind, we rejuvenate it and that’s where we are discouraging ourselves. The survey says that the women who are actually very confident and aspiring, due to the jealousy by the society people they try to defame her by putting the unethical and anti-social tags like characterless. Just grow up, that women can be your sister, your mother and if they are being designated by this title how would you feel, before commenting on them you should be aware of this fact. Since, they don’t utter a single word it doesn’t mean that they are not getting discouraged. Since, we have framed our society in such a way that for every feat you need revolution to change and thus Women Empowerment need real practice to enact. Change People Change
