Happy life is a choice !

A friend who spoke to me says that you have already won.
We actually talked about some values of our lives.
Regarding our age ,mostly about our health and wellness.

Many people plan to retire and be happy when they are 50, 55 or 60 years old.

It is true ,that my life is going the way I like with the change that I started at the age of thirty.

Some of the sacrifices or decisions I made for it are not suitable for everyone. or easy for all.

At that time I wanted to change the normal life pattern.

With the support of a family specially spouse , it is decided whether it can go well or not.

If I hadn’t changed like that,
With the way I was,
I could have been the proud owner of a tired life in the revealing world.

As ordinary people, none of us are born of flowers,
So fed up with many ways . There were crashes. I too had many bad traits. !!

I think they are very normal as humans.

But I wanted to change how to live freely.

Then I understood me and changed myself .
I did little by little. It took many years and still I’m changing me in someways .
All the good changes that came after that are things that I got with this lifestyle.

That’s why even the little sinhalese
book ” simple me” was written based on my true experiences . Many readers said that it is like a handbook for change the life in minimal way.

With the gradual changes, everything went smoothly.

Even today, every day I set goals for myself.
“Like two liters of water. “
Such goals can be very small.
But even if it’s a small goal, spend my days happily.


At the end of the day, I saw myself satisfied, even if the goal is small, it is very important to me.

Even the family members around me are happy that I am happy.

I will not describe these as one by one, the things we keep as goals are personal. Values are different .

However, I demonstrate with myself. Even my children can see.
As I talk to them about it.

They are getting to know , “Instead of what I should do rather than how others are doing, what they are doing,
How I am today – What I want to change tomorrow than today is the only happiness “

I see a feedback from my daughter and son,
And there are times when they remind me too.

Being happy in the moment while keeping goals and objectives makes life easier.

Good Luck !

Need rest ! Take your time .

There are some days, no matter how busy you are , want to do nothing .

Same for me.

I will be there for you.

I think that day is a good opportunity for rest to make the next step more effective and I can also implement it very well !!
I already have some experiences .

Me and my husband, the lifestyle we have chosen is a light ,simple one .
so I don’t think that life has gone backwards or having a loss because of a day just passing by like this in resting way .

Everyone in the world does not need to run in the same pattern or same way.

As others wish,
If I go to live as they say “oh well”, the only thing that will happen is that
I will lose the life I got,
before I die when I get tired !

As I have lived only in a way that is good only for others , not for me !!

I felt lost when it didn’t make sense.
Due to not knowing how to find a way or lack of understanding, there was a possibility of being dragged into the wave.

But, little by little, I changed my life , my mindset and my patterns .

Even today, I smile at those who ask me about certain things .

“That is, will see ;” such kind my answers with the words they want to see.

I think that is enough.

Protecting my inner peace and mindset is the most important as i feel .

Have a good day 💙

Minimalist theme house .

It doesn’t go with the minimalist theme if the things in the house are kept to a minimum.

If a house is designed in a minimalist way,
it should be like that from the beginning of the design.

Generally,
in this kind of house,
the outside and inside with simple shapes, openings, etc. are minimal.
The roof shape is simple.

Reducing the time spend on cleaning and paying more attention to relaxation,
External and internal freedom are the basic elements of minimalism.

The choice of furniture, including the coloring of the walls and the floor, is done using two or three eye-pleasing colors to match the same pattern.

Although it looks simple from the outside, it basically costs more than an average house
But long term benefits with high quality finish.

Usually expect no regular replacements or damages by using high quality goods as a long term plan.

Pictures or decorations hung around the house
Small decorations piled on the tables, (ornaments) other decorations especially artificial plants etc. are not used.

Some live indoor plants , minimal wallpaper or designs could be used as the preferences of who are living in the house .

Before external material things
Mindset practice
Appreciates calmness, likes to live lightly and freely.

Although it is easy to live in this type of house for a person who maintains his inner peace well,

It is possible that this system will not bring happiness at all to those who enjoy collecting and accumulating souvenirs photos , ornaments , antiques and such things .

Find your own way , then your house will be a heaven !

How minimalist mindset practice is important for your life ?

Mindset practice is one of the most valuable aspects of minimalism I see.

As weary people in a hectic world,
we all expect things to be relaxed,
for Physical and mental health.

The things chosen for it are different.

Among the de stress /relaxation techniques,
Deep breathing exercises,
simple meditation or yoga practice , walking or exercises dancing
although there are several methods that I use throughout the day and
Maintaining an offline day once a month is something that is usually done.

Despite this, I had to engage in online work continuously, so I use some weekends to relax and get rid of those things.

Even so, it becomes an addictive thing.

A person doing online business or studies can take a break from their work and start refresh in a relaxing environment.

It brings great mental healing.

Also, even those who want to control their online time can use this method.

You cannot be done this without desired .

While offline like this,
“Oh, what happened on Facebook now”
I want to see whatsapp messages.
It looks like you need to update the status!

If you think like that , this method would not be work.

But this method is very successful for someone who wants to practice mind relaxation & detox.

It’s okay if you manage your time as best you can.

Usually, on my offline days, I rest my eyes in nature with greenery surroundings that brings patterning nature colors.

Happy times y’ all , enjoy your days !

Minimalist fashion

Minimalist fashion is in the one of top places in the world .

Along with many things like home decoration, time management, money management, fashion also has a high place in minimalism.

There are several main reasons for this.

  1. Financial convenience.

Answering global problems, being the least expensive.
Because a minimalist is tempted to maximize those resources, money is saved or money is not wasted.

  1. The green factor.

This is not strange.
Minimalists always think about the environment.

He always thinks about the things he discovers as well as the things he discards from himself to the environment.

Hence minimizing waste and disposal in an environmentally friendly manner,
always try to use eco-friendly fabrics.

You can afford and be yourself .
Find the right style.

By seeing it is lovely , attractive uncommon and different from just trending .

This is the same as before.
Without changing the world from moment to moment,
Create your own unique style and wear it confidently .

Even prioritization & exclusions are balanced.

So, like other needs, fashion also gets a place,

Transform your space, transform your life: embracing intentional minimalism [Minimalist Home ]

You might think that minimalists want to leave everything or give-up behind and live.

But minimalism is not like that.

When we identify our true needs, we have money left over to spend.

The value of things that last for a period of time increases a lot.

If you can easily create a house that you design yourself, you can install the necessary things that are higher than the price of a period.

Then you can get a luxurious look with a beautiful finish.

“Minimalism is expensive”
the reason for using this kind of term,
It may be because the concept of minimalism uses branded and good quality things .

Like minimalist luxury interior designs, there are also plenty of designs that can be adjusted to suit one’s economy.

But from the point of view of durability, using something more expensive cannot be considered as an increase in costs.

Decide for yourself whether you want to change the low-priced stuff that breaks down twenty times over ten years, or whether you want to complete the design with high-quality, high-quality stuff that is suitable for 20 years at the same time.

When creating the plan of a house,
do not go for the usual traditional designs and make a unique and different simple design for yourself.

Spend your life comfortably and comfortably to beautify your own place,
Get help from the experts in the relevant fields.

It is possible to develop a person’s appearance as well as character.

With each passing year, I embrace the opportunity to reflect on and learn from those moments; empowered by my growth and resilience.

Unlock the power to transform your outlook by embracing everyday moments filled with positivity and hope.
Start now !

Self-confidence, self-satisfaction.
The thought sent to one’s mind by looking at oneself is stronger than what is said through the eyes of others.

I am concerned about that.

Every morning is an opportunity to reset and refocus on what truly matters.

I take a moment to reflect on my goals and envision success.

Simple Habits for a healthy mind , body and soul.

There are some human relationships that can’t be broken no matter how much philosophical talk you say and you have to be patient with the conversation even knowing the form.

Extremely close relationships.

However, after some incident caused heartache
Like forgetting to keep reminding yourself of this situation, giving yourself time to take the next step.
With someone who listens well,
If you can talk about it openly and free your mind
Getting rid of existing moods (difficult moods) can be done very quickly.

Rather than finding a solution to the problem by talking to someone
Listening attentively begins to set the mind free!

Moods are not something to stick to.

Because as the negative value sinks, the best-case scenario increases.
Getting rid of it quickly and if time is a problem, it is more admirable to wait until the solutions are found and live in a normal state.

From there, it helps a lot to regain energy and calm the mind to implement small methods that improve the mind and body.

There are some ways to improve the mind and body in the following pictures.

I will also write some methods that work for me.

🍂To change your mind by watching some irrelevant youtube programs. Irrelevant was said to start like this (31 st night , one or two TV programs like Christmas parties or vlogs made by some people).

🍂 An hour long music program or discussion

🍂 Old telenovelas with bitter and harsh natures

🍂Malayalam movies and
Some English movies – mainly based on true stories

🍂Trying new food recipes.

🍂Vary the exercise and take more time.

Those are the things that work for me.

The things that are right for them are different, so the things that are right for them are to be open to some stressful situations easily .

For those ,who want to change your life as a minimalist

1.
Make a list

Make a list of all the reasons you want to live more simply.
Are you a borrower?
What is that for?

Do you have enough time to spend with your family?

Do you sleep well at night?

2.
Find unwanted things
Walk at home.
Collect the only things you don’t use anymore.
Choose unnecessary cups from the same type of cups in the kitchen.
Collect such things and pack them in a box or cupboard.

If you don’t need to use it for thirty days (one month), donate it to someone who doesn’t have it.

You can resell as pre loved items too.

3.
Introduce residents to a disturbance-free zone in the home.

This is a kitchen table.
It could be a few chairs in the living room, a bedroom, or a kitchen drawer.
If you enjoy that clean, clear environment, expand the zone a little by little each day.

When first practicing, a clutter-free dressing table can turn into a messy room ,
A clutter-free room can become the clutter-less home you’ve been thinking about.

4.
Travel lightly.

Family trips, leisure trips, we use minimalism and simplicity. If you are traveling for 4 days depending on the nature of the trip, accommodation etc., pack for three days,
You can wash or hang the same clothes if you want.

Even if you don’t always think this is possible, pack only the essentials then experience how it feels to carry less luggage.

5.
Use less clothes.

Think carefully about the clothes you have with you considering your duty, profession and other travels.
Open the closet to see if there are any forgotten clothes that you haven’t been able to wear after a while.
If so, realize that you are dressed without them and that it is useless to keep them around in case you need them someday.

6.
Prepare simple meals.
This does not mean that you have to eat the same food every day…. But from time to time you can buy cheap vegetables and fruits as they are abundant and prepare them in different ways and eat them.

Try it for a week.
Ask the likes and dislikes of the family.

7.
Save some money 💰 .
An emergency fund simplifies everything. If you are paying off any debt, put a small amount into a cardless account.
Do this for about 6 months and check that account.
You really feel happy.

If not all of these at once,
try one by one and take small steps forward to reach the simple life you desire. Even if it takes 10 years to get to where you think you want to be, the rewards happen quickly.

The joys of being a beginner minimalist intrigue you.

So a good start for those who want to go on that journey
