Define your life's plan

Before committing to minimalism, get a better plan of how you want to live your life. 🧘
Using the Minimalist’s post as a guide, I developed my plan for my life, addressing questions (posed by the Minimalists) to understand what I define as success and what kind of person I want to become. I asked myself these questions before fully committing to minimalism, to plan how I wanted to live my life.
What is standing in the way of my musts?
When did I give so much meaning to my possessions?
What is truly important in my life?
Why am I discontented?
Who is the person I want to become?
How will I define my success?
How will my life improve if I own less stuff?

Before this exercise, I had never really thought in depth about what my answers were. I recommend you take some time to answer these questions yourself to get a better understanding of your values and beliefs, even if you are not planning on embracing minimalism as I have.
