Introduction

I WANT TO THANK YOU and congratulate you for purchasing the book, Decluttering: 50 Minimalism Ways and Strategies to Declutter Your Home and Life. This book contains proven steps and strategies on how to reduce the clutter, minimize the belongings that you may have and provides a way to organize thoughts to result in a more fulfilling and simplistic lifestyle. Several barriers may prove inhibitory to minimalism, key among them, resistance to change. Change may be hard as we have become attached to routines and things. We allow our homes and minds to become storage spaces for every passing fancy and in the process, we get so busy trying to attain these objects that we end up not having time to enjoy that which we have already accumulated.

The corporations can be afforded some of the blame but truth be told they are just doing what they were created to do. That would be to make sure the products are out of their shelves and in our homes. It does not matter what trick they use to distract or misdirect as long as they achieve their objective and they do not care about your general wellbeing. Once the truth of the last statement is internalized you can start to think about how to regain your life back from the very things that have kept you prisoner within your space for a very long time. It sounds like the logical thing to do by living with less considering it will mean less to clean, less debt which means less stress. Overall that would mean more energy and money to go around. That would imply that many people are actually ready to minimalize but they usually get stumped by the next step which is where to begin. Then you end up with several individuals who are of the mindset that they can and should survive with less but they are literally trapped by everything that they have. This leads to being overwhelmed and defeated by the very idea. The journey of de-cluttering neednt be as hard as most would make it out to be.

Minimalism is the absolute opposite of consumerism whose philosophy is to entertain yourself with anything that you would desire at any time of the day and night provided you has the means to do so. That is the reason for 24-hour stores and online door to door service delivery. Societally speaking we have a glut of products and services. Anything can be attained at the click of a button and a few hours wait even if it leads to the debt of the buyer. Consumerism would have you overspend on the holidays because of the season theme and still overspend several times during the year because of sales promotions or just plain availability of the product. In your heart of hearts, you know that you do not need the latest iPhone or that antique that was allegedly availed at the curio shop because you bought three of those each year for the past three years. The voice in your head saying you need all of it has been carefully engineered to lead you to the cashier and not make you the wiser until you reach home. In order to combat consumerism, it would need a conscious effort to abstain from it and focus on how you have lived your life and how you would like to proceed going forward.
