Lately this sub feels like it’s been expanding in the ‘What should I do? / is this minimalist? / is it ok to get rid of x ?

Only you know what’s appropriate to yourself

Be it 6 coats or 2 coats, if you need it or it’s used then keep it

After practicing minimising for myself and my family It’s easy to fall into the trap of toxicity.

Someone who works from home in a 2 climate area, will require something completely different to someone who commutes and lives in 4 season area with micro climates when one day and the next can be completely different

Someone might find joy in jackets, video games, books, art. It’s ok to keep that which brings you joy

An objective view on minimalism is a breeding ground for toxicity. The minimalists are great for pointing people in the right direction, but comparing yourself to them in an effort to be more minimalist is not the way to go.

Their business is selling people the idea of minimalism. It’s how they make their money.

Coming back on topic, if you feel like getting rid of if then you can put it away for a specified period of time and check back in future

The worst case scenario for most items is that you can buy them again easily, quickly or find alternatives.

Self motivation and self regulation is the only way to go

There’s no right or wrong.

Perhaps a minimalist lifestyle and a minimalist subreddit is required,

if that’s ok and would still be minimalist 😉

Edit: no one uses flairs

Enjoy it , have fun , get rid of shite.

2nd Edit: Welcome all minimalists, and those aspiring to be, let’s maximise our inspiration through beautiful posts of art, buildings, living areas, objects, the man made, and natural scenes in their minimalist form.

The above is more pertinent and most welcome at r/declutter!
