Introduction

What does it mean to live with a minimalist mindset? Adopting a minimalist mindset is not merely about getting rid of possessions. It’s also about decluttering the mind, getting rid of unfulfilling commitments, and even unfulfilling relationships. 

Minimalist living is really about cutting through the drama and chaos and finding those treasures. It’s about discovering those core values and about creating space and filling that space with only those things you absolutely love and adore.

If the clutter in your mind is keeping you from living a peaceful, centered life, then it might be time to consider an alternative way. Minimalist living also obviously applies to your physical environment

If you have closets full of cascading boxes, and stuff under your bed and stuff stashed away in a storage unit for future use, you may want to consider that you have too much stuff. There is a lot to be said for living a minimalist lifestyle because the truth of the matter is that stuff is just that, stuff. Material objects don’t define you.

Have you ever wondered why it's so relaxing to go on a vacation? One of the reasons other than getting some much-needed time off is the fact that vacations also allow you to take a break from all your stuff, especially mental clutter.

The truth is that your stuff may actually be holding you back in life. Everything is energy; so the more clutter you have lying around, the more your energy is being consumed by the things around you.

When you live a minimalist lifestyle, either by choice or by force, it really frees up your energy. Minimalism is all about holding onto only those things you hold near and dear to your heart. It's about surrounding yourself with those things you love and adore and tossing the rest.

Living the minimalist lifestyle is all about simplicity. If your thoughts or your possessions no longer bring you joy then they need to be lovingly donated or discarded. You don't have to toss everything you love into the trash, but you can donate it or give it to someone who really needs it more than you.

There is something very freeing about decluttering your mind and your home. Making the decision to adopt a minimalist lifestyle, can be life-changing kind of like opening up the windows and letting the fresh air in.

This book has 7 meditations perfectly designed to help you adopt that minimalist mindset.

You can go through the book at your own pace. If you feel the desire to listen to a meditation a day, then that’s great! However, you may also feel the need to take your time.

When you do that inner work, you will align your thoughts with your inner joy and find those things that truly bring you peace.

There’s a lot of beauty in simplicity. It’s a simple shift in perspective, but an important one.

Chapter 1: Resting in the Here and Now

What does it mean to rest in the here and now and to accept the present moment? Mindfulness teaches us that the present moment is really all we have. We cannot escape it.

Many of us live in the past or in the future, constantly obsessing about it. Instead of relishing and embracing the present, we often
