Essentialism...Minimalism 😛

Hey Guys..It's the month of Ramzan. I decided to clean my space and organise my wardrobe. Guess what I realised? I have an overflowing pile of clothes. We have 2 big wardrobes each having 4 shelves. My wardrobe was overflowing and I captured 2 more shelves in my husbands wardrobe😛. Main reason was my wedding during which I went on a shopping spree for no reason. One more thing is my recent trip to Bangalore where I went to Commercial Street and turned crazy seeing the deals and grabbed everything possible. Winter collection was on offer and I got lot of hoodies and now I realise I dint need them because I live in tirchy. I wear only top and a track pant most of the time in this covid era. 

Besides these things reliance trends keeps bombarding me with multiple coupons which tempt me to visit the store repeatedly. I think Im saving 500rs on purchase of 1500 but the truth is Im spending 1000rs. After a sad realisation of my activity I searched about my behaviour and realised a few things. I talked to my husband and he said he buys stuff only 2 or 3 times a year or when he is in need of some piece and gets it from good branded showrooms which last him long. Most men shop for quality and women for quantity because we like a lot of pieces rather than one same lasting piece. I looked into my wardrobe and found I have few tops which I got for 699rs which lasted me long while the one I got for 250 or so or the ones I got in offer are either worn out or I don't remember when I wore them last. 


ESSENTIALISM
Essentialism and minimalism are concepts that we very true and practical. For people who haven't heard of minimalism it is the concept of stripping things down to only essential things. 
Practically speaking we can't be extreme minimalist because we will always have backup stuff but we can be sure of what we need to keep and what we need to get rid off.

In my childhood I remember playing with only 2 Chinese dolls but having a showcase full of toys which I haven't used. Most of the crockery items I have is unused. We have 10 coffee mugs for 2 people who use those mugs🙊. In realtime we can have one extra set for guests.

CONCLUSION
I have decided to buy only good quality clothing only after the one's I wear are worn out. I removed all old pieces and donated them. This decision actually helped me relax and reduce my anxiety. Besides clothing I also decluttered my footwear and lotions and creams to the essential ones I use on a daily basis. Now I feel more relaxed. I wish you guys can also declutter your closet and find out how much you own and what you can get rid off.

An incident at the gym 💪💪

 Hi to whoever reading this blog sorry that I was missing for a while. You know caught up in work and blah and blah but these are just reasons as I was lazy to write this blog. I suddenly felt I have nothing to share here. But got my senses back so lets jump to the story😁 As I was hitting the gym the other day I saw this tremendous looking girl who had well built muscles better than any girl I have ever seen at the gym before. She looked something like below pic. You can tell by the look of it she has been working really hard to be that healthy and how consistent she must have been to have built that great physique. Whenever she walks into the gym you can feel everyone noticing her because of the great physique she has out of respect and admiration because gym ppl know how difficult it is to build muscles of that stature. Me and my husband while hanging out with one of this friends talked about this and he his friend asked me why dint I go and tell her she looked great. He said sh...

I switched my work organization😉

First of all thank you for coming here to read my blogs. I haven't posted for a long time now and believe I will be more consistent going forward.  I joined a new organization 2 days back and it feels like the best decision I have taken in a while. I believe we must all keep looking for growth in all aspects of life. Be it career or health or emotional growth. Sometimes you get stuck in a loop of doing things and no matter how much you work hard you are never appreciated or more problems arise. A similar situation happened to me in life where I felt no amount of work is getting me out of this loop.  I had some really crappy work surrounded by tough people to handle. When I decided to switch my job for monetary and other reasons it was very hard to get any interview calls.  The key here is to keep believing. I never believed because market is bad and stuff but my husband kept constantly applying to jobs on my behalf. I had some mental breakdowns due to the work wherein I h...

A post for my 2nd Anniversary 👫 💓

  It's been 2 years and there is a lot to share but I'll try to keep it simple. Meanwhile I hope you can take away some good things from here. WEDDING STORY: I had an arranged marriage as many of you know. The first time I met him I did not overthink it. He just looked calm and quiet (maybe shy or awkward). It was my first time that a prospective groom came to our house. I had nothing in my head. It was around April 2021. My sister said ‘he didn't look at you straight and maybe he isn't interested in the wedding’. I felt the same because when our families discussed future aspirations he said he wanted to do MBA and was waiting for results from IIM Lucknow. At that time I felt that if he converts IIM Lucknow, how will I go and live there for the next 2 years? I din't want to resign from my job. So we just waited for his results and he got rejected from IIML. It was sad but this is what led to our wedding 😂.  FIGHTS: Our fights were crazy back in the day. It was new ...
