Practice gratitude for what you have from "summary" of Goodbye, Things: The New Japanese Minimalism by Fumio Sasaki

The idea of practicing gratitude for what you have is a cornerstone of the minimalist lifestyle. It is about shifting your focus from what you lack to what you already possess. By acknowledging and appreciating the things you already own, you can cultivate a sense of contentment and fulfillment in your life. When you take the time to reflect on the items you have, you may realize that you actually have more than you need. This realization can help you break free from the cycle of constantly wanting more and chasing after material possessions. Instead, you can find joy in the simplicity of what you already have. Gratitude also allows you to develop a deeper connection with your belongings. When you appreciate the function and value of each item in your life, you are less likely to take them for granted. This mindfulness can lead to better care and maintenance of your possessions, ultimately leading to a more organized and clutter-free environment. Moreover, practicing gratitude can help you shift your perspective on consumerism. Rather than feeling pressured to constantly acquire the latest trends or upgrades, you can be content with what you already own. This shift in mindset can save you time, money, and energy that would otherwise be spent on unnecessary purchases.
  1. Gratitude is a powerful tool for promoting mindfulness and happiness in your life. By focusing on what you have and expressing appreciation for it, you can create a sense of abundance and fulfillment that goes beyond material possessions. Embracing gratitude can lead you to a more meaningful and intentional way of living, free from the burden of excessive consumption.
