Practice gratitude for the simple things from "summary" of Goodbye, Things: The New Japanese Minimalism by Fumio Sasaki
When we let go of our attachment to material possessions, we are able to see the beauty in the simple things that surround us every day. We begin to appreciate the small moments that bring us joy, like a warm cup of tea in the morning or a walk in the park on a sunny day. By practicing gratitude for these simple pleasures, we cultivate a sense of contentment that is not dependent on external factors. When we focus on the simple things in life, we are able to find happiness in the present moment. We learn to savor the experiences that we often overlook in our busy lives, such as the sound of birds chirping outside our window or the feeling of a cool breeze on our skin. By being mindful of these moments, we are able to cultivate a sense of peace and fulfillment that comes from within. Practicing gratitude for the simple things also helps us to shift our perspective and see the world in a new light. We begin to notice the beauty in everyday objects, like the way sunlight filters through the leaves of a tree or the way a flower blooms in the spring. By appreciating these small details, we are able to feel more connected to the world around us and find joy in the present moment. In a society that often values material wealth and possessions, practicing gratitude for the simple things can be a radical act of self-care. It allows us to break free from the cycle of consumerism and find happiness in the things that money cannot buy. By focusing on the simple things that bring us joy, we are able to live more intentionally and authentically, creating a sense of fulfillment that is rooted in gratitude and presence.
