Shift to a more intentional way of living from "summary" of Goodbye, Things: The New Japanese Minimalism by Fumio Sasaki

To live more intentionally means to be mindful of every decision we make in our daily lives. It involves being conscious of the things we own, the activities we engage in, and the relationships we nurture. By shifting to a more intentional way of living, we are able to prioritize what truly matters to us and let go of the things that no longer serve a purpose in our lives. Minimalism teaches us to simplify our surroundings so that we can focus on what brings us joy and fulfillment. It is about decluttering not just our physical space, but also our mental and emotional space. By letting go of excess possessions and distractions, we create room for more meaningful experiences and connections. Living intentionally also means being present in the moment and fully appreciating the beauty of simplicity. It allows us to slow down, savor the little things in life, and cultivate gratitude for what we have. When we are intentional in our actions, we are able to align our values with our daily choices, leading to a more fulfilling and purposeful existence. Through the practice of minimalism, we learn to detach ourselves from material possessions and societal expectations. We realize that true happiness does not come from the accumulation of things, but from living in alignment with our values and priorities. By embracing simplicity and focusing on what truly matters, we can create a life that is intentional, meaningful, and authentic.
