the concept;
only "owning" what you need. only owning the items of clothing that you need in a week time...then you wash and dry the clothes and start over. only owning one bottle of lotion, one toothbrush, one nail polish, one light jacket, one heavy jacket, pair of tennis shoes, flip flops, one scarf, etc etc etc. you get the concept. what if? most of us wouldn't need a big home, a big dresser, a big closet, we wouldn't need much space. we wouldn't NEED much.
this is the concept i am adapting. it started off as decluttering....which led to simplifying....which now leads me to minimalism....which i sorta knew it would lead to. all my life i have daydreamed about traveling with only what i need. i daydreamed about throwing what i own into a car and going.....i never thought that at this point it would mean packing two bags and journeying by train. in just over a week i will step on a train and go.
i am blessed to work mainly online selling my creations, so work goes with me. this frees me but also complicates things. as much as money flows out to fund travel, money must also flow in....exchanging of energy as my dear friend Pixie puts it. as i am clearing out my possessions, i am also contemplating just HOW all these supplies can fit in my bag.....which makes me understand that i have "hoarded" supplies...as if i couldn't buy as i make...i hoard supplies. hello, i am a supply hoarder. i admit it. what this does though is prevents me from continuing to create NEW things....i make a ton of jewelry...A TON...BUT by hoarding supplies all at once, this prevents new creative ideas from freely flowing in....or rather these supplies take up the space that could be used for new things to come in.
i am quickly grasping ahold of the idea that when you let something go, the space is created for new to come in.....it shows itself swiftly usually. there is enough....i am provided for...in abundance really....maybe i don't have all the money i want...but most of us don't right?....how is it that the more i let go of, the more abundance i feel?.....
When I let go of what I have, I receive what I need.
