Use Minimalism as Momentum into Slow & Simple Living

Are you already sold on the minimalism trend? (Like what I did there? Sold? Minimalism? Irony? Nevermind 🙂

If so, that’s great! Maybe you’ve seen the Minimalism documentary or read The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. Maybe you’ve taken it a step further and tried some of these minimalism challenges.

You are in good company. From my research, it looks like minimalism has the biggest social following and search volume. You’ve planted a seed that can grow into something even bigger.

Minimalism is just a start

Don’t let minimalism live only as a trend or fad. If you stick with it and believe in the impacts it can have over the course of your lifetime, minimalism can lead you into many other interesting areas that can continue to make your life better.

Here’s the basic process I use to “dip a toe in the water” of a new topic:

I usually start with a simple Google search, and I click through a few pages of Google search results and recent news
I then usually find myself on Wikipedia to get a general sense of a topic
I browse Reddit to see what real people are actually talking about

I’ve made it easy for you to do the same below! You can also see a list of slow and simple living online forums here.

Minimalism is the seed. Keep going. Keep growing.
