Minimalism 101
Minimalism 101: So Long, Stuff!
Do you own your things, or have they started to own you? IF you feel like you have too much stuff cluttering up your life, it might be time to learn more about minimalism and pare down your possessions.
We’ve all seen it. The ‘dream home’ that suddenly becomes too small as our family grows, mainly because of all the stuff we’re trying to cram into the house which just ends up cluttering our lives.
Then let’s talk about the expense. More than 50% of families in the US don’t even have a budget. This means they are more than likely falling prey to the temptation of buying more and more stuff, and indeed, end up getting into debt because of it. The average American household credit card debt is around $9,000, even for retired people. So either they’ve had a really hard time making ends meets, or the dreaded materialism of wanting more all the time has landed them in debt.
The American dream used to be about the latest gadgets, appliances and modern conveniences, freeing people to work less and have more leisure time. However, a home full of stuff actually eats up a lot of time in terms of sorting, care, and so forth.
Minimalism, on the other hand, means making the most of what you own and making smart purchases based on what you really need rather than what simply catches your eye in a store window.
In this multimedia course, you will find written and audio lessons, a seven day challenge complete with worksheets, and much more.
If you’ve been struggling with too much stuff, register for this course, and learn how Minimalism can help you tame your tempestuous living conditions and improve the quality of your home life.

Introduction
The Dalai Lama once stated, “If one’s life is simple, contentment has to come. Simplicity is extremely important for happiness. Having few desires, feeling satisfied with what you have, is very vital; satisfaction with just enough food, clothing, and shelter to protect yourself from the elements.”
That same spiritual leader is one of the most influential people in the world, and you rarely see him without a beaming smile on his face. You see, that quote relates heavily to something that very few people have even heard of and that’s minimalism. Those who have come across the term before usually only have a vague understanding of what it is.
Now, the fact that you’re reading this course suggests that either you’re interested in what minimalism has to offer or are looking to achieve a minimalistic approach to life. The reason the Dalai Lama radiates such happiness is that he knows that life is much more than the items we purchase or the possessions we own. He understands that happiness is first found within, not from external factors.
We’re not in any way saying you should try to replicate the way that the Dalai Lama lives, but you can draw on some of his principles. You can utilize minimalism to evolve your life. If you’re new to minimalism, then not to worry, because we’re going to categorize the information in a way that beginners can easily understand. Contrastingly, if you’re already familiar with the philosophy and need some instruction, the content will also cater to you as well.
In this course, you’ll discover the true meaning of minimalism. You’ll also learn about everything that minimalism isn’t, so you can ignore the fables and how to assess your own life through the lens of minimalism. Finally, we have some expert, actionable tips that you’ll be able to incorporate into your own life straight away.
So, are you ready to become a sponge for knowledge and potentially transform your life into an existence overflowing with happiness? Excellent! Let’s get started. Meet your instructors, grab your course downloads, and start your lessons.
