I love that there are many with the same ideals as me.
I also believe in a minimalist lifestyle and need very little. Any extra money would end up going towards helping others, so otherwise I don't need it.
I don't like depending on others at all. I don't like cleaning, yet tried a cleaning service and actually liked that even less. So I'm just working on ways to be more efficient in doing it myself. The raw diet actually allows me to keep things very simple in many areas. So does using natural products. I doubt I will be 100% self reliant because there are many things I don't know how to do & don't want to waste my time learning. Though I try to stick with people I know versus hiring others. This is where some type of barter system is good.
I believe in:
*Narrowing down everything into minimal, purposeful activities, relationships, & material possessions, yet without deprivation.
*Focusing on quality versus quantity & letting go of anything unnecessary or toxic as they’re burdens.
*Finding the most productive goods, services & techniques.
*Using time efficiently in all areas.
*Experiencing the freedom of a life more rich & meaningful by focusing on only what is important.
