How many of you are really into minimalism alongside Simple living? (kbin.social)

To me it all started with bumping into r/minimalism years ago (shoutout to !minimalism@lemmy.world, the migrated r/minimalism) and reading books about it.

I noticed that with minimalism came simple living, enjoying the small things in life. I often feel like they are interconnected due to this, but this could just be my experience.

How many others had a similar experiences, or did something else bring you here? Also welcome experiences about directly searching for simple living topics and bumping into this community (originally on reddit).

I'm so sorry about the post settings... Didn't realize that affects federation!

And I agree, I couldn't read or watch anything related to the topic after realizing it's seen as a goal. I do see it as a great starting point into being more mindful of the life around you.

Thank you for taking the time to rewrite your answer!

Anytime friend! Yeah it's definitely a good starting point! Honestly it was the first Minimalist documentary on Netflix that pulled things into focus for me, but then I feel like I outgrew that world. I hope that doesn't come across as sanctimonious.

No, it doesn't! I bet many of us had the same experience :)
