Ripple Effects
More free time and less stress. Extra money in the bank. While minimalists often report such benefits of the lifestyle over and over, for many of us, it goes deeper. Indeed, a minimalist lifestyle may fundamentally change the way we interact with the world.
As this podcast approaches its 500th episode I find myself curious about the ways in which adopting a minimalist or minimal-ish outlook has altered the ways in which we as community act and think.
On today’s show: A conversation with minimalist Elaina Jindra about just some of the ways her life is different these days.
Here’s a preview of the minimalism-inspired habit changes we are discussing today:
[8:00] Watching less television and turning away from mass media
[14:00] Buying in bulk, no more
[19:00] Storing it at the store? Sure. Plus: Storing it at Goodwill!
[22:00] Eating healthier and drinking less alcohol
[25:00] Stepping into the role of ‘creator’ while losing the identity of ‘consumer’
