Question 2: How to achieve a true minimalist life? Minimalist beliefs
The Hermann Twin Towers in East Berlin, Germany Inside, there is an ordinary bedroom. Sunlight shines in from the spacious and bright floor-to-ceiling windows, and all the furnishings in the room are a white bed and a yellow floor lamp. Apart from that, there is nothing else. This is the home of German female architect Eva Maria Stedel in East Berlin. She lives and works in it, but unlike other designers, she has piles of dazzling objects. Don't be surprised to learn that Eva was neither a believer in some Eastern religion nor a frugal ascetic. She is just a minimalist style designer and has turned this minimalist aesthetic into her life belief.
There are no unnecessary furnishings, and daily necessities are reduced to a minimum. Eva said, "This extreme reduction makes it easier to focus on the few objects in the room. This environment is calming and makes your senses sharper." It is the basic belief of minimalists. Also believing in minimalism is our great Mr. Jobs. It is said that Steve Jobs owned very few items during his lifetime. Apart from the black shirt he wore all year round, he only had an expensive set of audio equipment. Jobs was also a Zen believer, and the reduction of items reflected the purity of his mind. There are no clutter, no distracting thoughts, so there is a state of perfection. Apple's simple and stylish product style and corporate culture are inseparable from Steve Jobs' philosophy. It can be said that it is precisely because of Jobs' simplicity that Apple has become popular in the world.
We live in an era where garbage is rampant. Every time you blink, thousands of cell phones, thousands of computers, and tens of thousands of items of clothing are being shipped to landfills around the world. These items are not thrown away because they have lost their functionality, but because the company has released a newer version to replace it. These new versions are just stories made up by companies in order to make more profits, and they use various modern communication methods to coax consumers to pay for them. And these so-called newer and better things will soon become yesterday's flowers on the garbage truck. So, what do consumers get? A real improvement in quality of life? Or is it fashionable and decent showing off capital? Is it the gentle enjoyment of inner pleasure? Or the endless desire to buy? Is it taste? Is it the texture? Is it necessary? Is it an expression of one’s own personality? Or a bubble? Is it fast food? Chasing the wind? Are you unwilling to lag behind as others say?
The proliferation of substances involves not only environmental issues, but also our spiritual issues. Advertising enslaves and catalyzes our desire to buy things we don’t need. We work hard to do this. Use 100 hours of overtime in exchange for a Donkey bag, and then spend more time in exchange for diamond necklaces and luxury cars, maybe just for a slogan in an advertisement. In the past, when diamonds had not yet entered the consumer field, people lived very well.
Later, after being brainwashed by a certain diamond company, it was said that diamonds represent love, so one more item was added to our life goals: diamonds. Later, when more and more industries brainwashed people, our life goals began to become extremely huge, including clothing, mobile phones, perfumes, digital devices, cars, beauty salons, star hotels, and a trip here. Only thing is missing: the ideal. On the material level, we know that we want this, that, and everything. But once we return to the essential level, we are at a loss. We have no idea about our own concepts of life and time, and our awareness of our surroundings is getting weaker and weaker, sometimes even worse than that of a kitten. All this depends on material alienation. We exchange our lives and time for meaningless industrial copies, and these copies have become a burden because we have to spend more time packing, using, and taking care of these copies. When we complain about being buried by the trivial matters of life, perhaps it is precisely because we are buried by our own belongings. This is the alienation of things from people.
So for minimalists, they know what they want and can better distinguish what they don’t need. He would rather spend 100,000 yuan to buy a painting by his favorite artist than 4,000 yuan to buy a tablet he doesn't need. Because items must serve your life ideals, rather than changing your life ideals for the sake of items. Taiwanese writer Shu Guozhi still rents a house without even air conditioning or television. This seems quite shabby in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is the foundation for Shu Guozhi's happy life. He drank expensive wine with friends in a high-end hotel during the day, and slept soundly in a clean room at night. No unnecessary distractions. Go...gt;gt;
Question 3: What is the minimalist lifestyle? "Minimalism" advocates a modernist style of rationality, rules, order, and efficiency. It hopes to "reduce complexity into simplicity" and reduce people's stress and burden. baike.sogou/v63597024
Question 4: Minimalism in minimalist life as an attitude towards life It should be said that "minimalism" is always rooted in a way of life and attitude towards life. From the perspective of the ideological origin of "minimalism", it is closely related to the teachings and lifestyles of Western Protestantism (Protestanti ***) and Puritanism (Puritanis), such as "Cistercianism" and American Protestantism The faction "Shakers" all had an important influence on "Minimalism". Most of these believers oppose extravagance and waste and advocate a simple and plain lifestyle. Therefore, their church designs avoid decoration and have clear structures to create a sacred, silent and peaceful religious atmosphere. This implements Luce's famous saying: "Ornamentation is sin." Their lives are also extremely simple, and their utensils, houses and daily necessities are carefully designed and carefully maintained, and will be used for many years. This is a simple lifestyle implemented in order to accumulate social wealth under the premise of material scarcity. Our contemporary so-called “minimalist lifestyle” does not stem from material scarcity. It is a new way of life that human beings call for due to overload and excessive busyness in modern industrial society. Just as the current high-cost "minimalist architecture" is no longer within the reach of the poor and the general public; in modern society, a large amount of leisure and long-term vacations are also a luxury and have become the enjoyment of certain classes of people. It can be said that "time is money" has become a reality, and we measure time with the standard of money all the time. Wealthy people give up making money in exchange for personal freedom and space. For example, many of the emerging “green-collar class” and “backpackers” come from the middle and upper classes of society. At least they must have a minimum economic balance and a long-term, stable life guarantee. This situation is just like the ancient Chinese agricultural society. Only the gentry class is qualified to enjoy "leisure", and "leisure" is the exclusive privilege of the gentry. Mr. Fairbank talked about the situation in China’s traditional agricultural society where “leisure is the ideal”: “The most respected people are those who spend their time leisurely, not those who do better than others in busy affairs.
E. Get close to the origin and return to the womb of the mother of the universe. No one will get sick, and hospital medicine can be greatly reduced. It is the body's own medicine king, and no artificial medicine can compare with it.
F. The perfection of life is the standard of development, rather than the so-called development of stupid economic figures such as the current unscrupulous material development that sends people to their graves prematurely.
Specific methods of minimalist living
1. Simplify. A minimalist lifestyle is a lifestyle that follows "subtraction" and removes clutter, such as removing boring entertainment, unnecessary interpersonal interactions, redundant work, etc. Only by removing the clutter can we highlight some key tasks of decisive significance and devote limited time and energy to them. A prerequisite for eliminating clutter is that you should have one or several clear central goals within a specific period of time, and be able to simplify your desires and constrain your behavior to act around them. People who have a central goal but are not good at restraining themselves are easily attracted by various temporary interests, lost in the vast ocean of chasing interests, and ultimately achieve nothing. For example, someone goes online to inquire about a specific piece of information, but is constantly attracted to other content on the webpage, wandering from one point to another. As a result, a lot of time is wasted unknowingly, but there is still no information. Complete the original mission.
2. Repeat. Here, it is not a derogatory term that complicates life. The so-called "repetition" means that the same part appears repeatedly in different time periods or spaces. In minimalist music, there is the repetition of a single tune. The repetition of the same syllables or phonemes greatly simplifies the tune, forming a light, calm and calm music style. In life, simplicity is also achieved through repetition. Because repetition has multiple functions, it can reduce sensory stimulation, lighten memory load, and more. If our mobile phone number is a triple number (three numbers repeated in succession), then the burden of memory will be greatly reduced. This "simplification" is achieved by reducing the temptation of new things and new situations to people. When new situations arise, we are forced to spend more energy adapting and are always on guard against accidents, thus maintaining a high degree of vigilance. And when life "repeats", everything becomes familiar.
3. Order. Just as all minimalist architecture values ??"rationality," "rules" and "order," minimalist life also emphasizes maintaining order in life. Only "order" can bring true simplicity. Cutting corners and saving time and money in places that shouldn't be simplified often makes things more complicated. For example, we should keep the office in order, even if it takes a few extra minutes every day, we should put books, paper, pens and files back in time, tidy up the desk, and gradually form good habits. On the surface this may seem like a waste of time, but it will make your office environment neat and elegant and make you feel naturally comfortable. More importantly, it is conducive to item management, greatly reducing the time you waste looking for certain items; at the same time, it saves you the hassle of searching for an urgently needed file. An orderly life is a truly simple and efficient life.
4. Efficient. Extreme...gt;gt;
Question 6: The political significance of the minimalist lifestyle 1) It is conducive to promoting the virtue of diligence and thrift,
2) It has Conducive to building a harmonious socialist society,
3) Conducive to forming good social customs.
Question 7: The material life manifestation of minimalist life A. Living in a small house, the house is a flower pot, and people are plants in the flower pot. If the flower pot is too large, it will not be good and it will be a waste. , The exchange of material depends on the operation of the human heart. When the human heart moves, it consumes the essence and damages the soul. Material luxury is a crime against the God of life, which means taking life and shortening the life span. B. Use a small refrigerator and don’t eat leftovers. There is no need to freeze food if you are vegetarian. If you open your eyes and see the toxin soul signals remaining on the corpses of highly spiritual animals, you must definitely stay away from them. They are one of the sources of disease and disaster.
Therefore, DINK life has advantages and disadvantages, and it depends on the person. We should have an overall consideration of life and evaluate the effect of "simplification" as a whole. Sixth, "simplification" is for your own life. "Minimalism" itself is only an ultimate goal or trend, not a fixed ruler, nor a definite and identical standard suitable for measuring everyone. We cannot say whose life and what kind of life can be called "minimalist life". In fact, each person's life is difficult to compare with other people's lives. But we can say that compared to your previous, busier life, your current life has been "simplified" to the greatest extent possible, and it can no longer be "simplified". This is a "minimalist life."
Question 9: What in-depth introduction to minimalist life books are worth recommending? Recommend two classic books on minimalism: "Severance and Detachment" V.S. "The Heart-Thrilling Technique of Organizing Life"
p>
"Departure" compares to the Buddha's mind. There are before and after photos on the first few pages of the book, so that people can get a glimpse of what is being talked about (but in fact there are only four pages); the only photo in "Pumping Heartbeat" It's the author himself, and the only photos of organization techniques are in the waistband of the book.
In fact, both books are asking for shame! leave! leave! If you don't need something, just "cut it off," "let it go," or "leave it." If there's something that doesn't make people feel excited, just say, "Thank you! Get in touch!" Both authors have gained many followers by holding lectures, and both said There is no case where these believers need to return to the profession for further education. Similarly, both books talk a lot, but they are actually telling the same truth from different angles and personal experiences.
In fact, the central ideas of the two books are very similar. The "Broken" book shares many general principles, while the "Bang" book shares more details. The book "Breaking" talks about the need to separate "organizing" and "storing". If you don't sort things out first, you will spend your whole life doing wasted work in organizing and storing. This reminds me of many department store gift cards. Because no one wants to use them, they are always piled in their own warehouses. But businessmen all know that storage fees are actually a huge cost. , especially when we happily buy clearance products at low prices, we are actually helping the store pay for storage fees, and these gifts that cannot be used or put together are a disguised waste. Author Yamashita Eiko believes that if you are reluctant to use good things and put them away, and force yourself to use inferior ones, your taste will never be improved, and it will also affect the way others view you! Therefore, we must regain the lost space and energy through letting go. And tidying up is like a reservoir. One side first refuses the flow of sediment from upstream, and the other side removes the accumulated silt. In this way, more space can be found, and over time, there will be no need to tidy up again. What if someone gives you a gift you won’t use? At this time, the Friendly Wall, which you can take photos and hang on your phone, is an application based on the concept of abandonment (English name is yourole, Chinese name is "Yourou"). This application allows you to give your extra things to those in need. Compared with throwing things away roughly, it is more environmentally friendly to give things to people in need. People call this method "object release". Releasing items not only relieves the mental burden of throwing away things, but also eliminates the tiredness of selling things, because the delivery efficiency is high.
The very important concept mentioned in the book "Broken" is: it is not "this" and "can it", but "I" and "should I" use it. The key is "I", because there are so many things that can be used, and there may be only one that you want to use.
The book "Thump" talks about the same meaning. If you want to use it, you must use something that can make people "thump", so that life will be filled with the mysterious Japanese happiness. To be able to say this, of course, you have to live in Japan, which is rich in resources. The book reveals a terrible fact: "The better people are at storing, the easier it is for them to pile things up." Because after putting all the things away, I forget what is there, so I continue to buy, continue to pile, and continue to store until it explodes. .
And the important concept of tidying up mentioned in it is that what you need to choose when tidying up is not to choose "things to be thrown away", but to choose "things to be kept" and throw away the rest! Marie Marie, the author of the book "Bang", talked about the two steps of sorting out. The first is "judging whether the items should be thrown away", and the second is "deciding the positioning of the items", because if the items left behind after passing the first level are displaced, it will slowly Slowly, it will be like aliens unconsciously occupying the surface of the earth and it will be overwhelming. Therefore, it is best for everyone to follow the instructions in the book and develop obsessive-compulsive disorder, and do not let the deceased’s belongings end up on the street.
Because "Bang" likes to talk about small examples, let me share them: For example, when using a storage box, do not use a lid, but use a drawer, because when you think about the trouble of opening the lid, people will quietly Floated away. Don't use tied or rolled socks when tidying up, because wearing socks on human feet is already hard enough. Just let them rest, otherwise they will be too tight and break quickly. Also, don’t downgrade your outdated clothes for going out and wear them as home clothes. This is just like not turning old shoes into home shoes, because the fundamental positioning of the two is different, so don’t confuse them. . In other words, storage items should be put upright to make them easier to find. For example, books are much easier to find when they are put upright than when they are folded. The same goes for clothes.
Also, don’t fall into the trap of “start organizing slowly”, as that will never be completed. You must finish it in one go! No matter what, you have to start by throwing away things, and the reason why people find it difficult to throw away things is because they always feel...gt;gt;
Question 10: The simplicity of minimalist life Several contents of the socialist lifestyle: Keeping pets and loving small animals are lessons for us to return to nature. Animals are our teachers. They are naturally inactive and everything operates according to nature. They are the mirror of our human hearts.
