The minimalist lifestyle is the direct opposite of a self reliant life style. It can only be lived in dense and well ordered societies, relying on other people to handle the things you don't excel in. The further away from society you go, the more you have to do for yourself requiring a broader spectrum of skills tools and materials. You will never find a minimalist farmer.

And that is one of the many reasons why farmers are poorer than the average city dweller. The city can be thought of as a macro flow dojo for its residents, aimed to allow its residents to ascend above the tension of arranging for daily necessities and actually focus on more productive work (at the expense of money). If you live in a city but have the lifestyle of a farmer, you are not exploiting the city environment for one of its strengths. An actual farmer gets the advantages of a pollution free, low stress life; but you won't even get that. That's why I believe Minimalism is the best way of life for busy city dwellers; but I also agree that you won't find minimalist farmers.

I'm a fan and love all your lessons on flow. But we need to acknowledge there is a lot of effort and restriction in non-possessing as well. "Create the flow so your life can grow" is my motto as an organizer. I help people downsize, declutter and organize their possessions to a manageable state. But one can't forget their home is also an extension of caring and community. Sharing your sense of safety, love, and comfort in your home through conversation, and cooking is best done in a home that is inviting. It's a balance one can strive for when designing their home with purpose. There is always maintenance or "reinventing" that we need to do as we age and our priorities change.
@carlosdesantiago13567 ай бұрын
The Ancient Idea: Minimalism as a means of clearing physical/mental space so you can focus on what matters. My personal highlights: Learning to do the work for its own sake is called becoming "autotelic". Flow is a driver of minimalism, for the more space that which matters takes, the less space there is for other things. ✦ High performers throughout history share a common pattern of simplicity and discipline. 00:01 From Spartans to samurai to Mongols, the pattern of frugality and discipline has shaped the destinies of world's highest performers. This pattern has allowed them to achieve remarkable feats and success by prioritizing simplicity and dedicated pursuits. ✦ Peak performers embrace minimalism to focus on what matters most. 02:06 They intentionally promote what they value and remove distractions. This approach allows them to channel their energies and talents effectively. ✦ Neurological limitations impact cognitive load and brain performance. 05:56 Neurotransmitters like glutamate and Gaba facilitate the communication of chemical signals in the brain, but excessive neurotransmitter traffic can lead to performance decline. The brain's high energy demand, constituting about 20% of the body's energy consumption, creates a threshold for cognitive load, affecting functions such as learning, attention, and problem solving. ✦ Possessions consume our mental energy and attention 07:59 Each possession captures attention and contributes to cognitive load Different possessions require varying amounts of attention and cognitive capacity ✦ Minimalism leads to freedom and flow. 12:06 Possessions can overwhelm the mind, hindering creativity and problem-solving. Minimalism allows for reclaiming mental capacity and channeling it into tasks, leading to flow. ✦ Minimalism reduces friction and increases intrinsic motivation. 14:08 Minimalism removes the hassle, fuss, and stress caused by dealing with unnecessary possessions, leading to increased flow states and performance. Internal transformation driven by intrinsic motivation leads to a shift from extrinsic desires, resulting in a deeper sense of purpose and productivity. ✦ Minimalism drives flow and maximalism in performance 17:57 Minimalism reduces cognitive load and frees up mental capacity for flow Flow leads to becoming more autotelic, doing work for its own sake, and desiring less material possessions ✦ Aggressive minimalism prioritizes optimal performance and fulfillment of professional purpose. 19:39 Aggressive minimalism focuses on owning only what is essential for work and goals. Exemplified by Steve Jobs, aggressive minimalism leads to a minimalist aesthetic and a simplified lifestyle. ✦ Minimalism reduces cognitive load and promotes focus 23:07 Winston Churchill's minimalism showcased his complex personality and deliberate choice of possessions for inspiration Possession Purge helps eliminate cognitive load and encourages focus and productivity ✦ Rebalancing possessions and transitioning to tier 2 minimalism. 24:56 Conducting a possession Purge to keep only 15% of needed possessions. Setting aside a full day for The Possession Purge to make it efficient and impactful. ✦ Ask if each possession advances your professional pursuit. 28:17 Consider emotional associations and value of owned items. Filter possessions to reduce cognitive burden and optimize performance. ✦ Minimize possessions and conscious of cost of ownership 29:53 Create an algorithm to determine the worth of ownership in advance Consider the distinction between pleasure and enjoyment in acquiring possessions
@numinous25067 ай бұрын
This is great. I needed this reminder. If you are struggling like me with negative "self talk" start listening to affirmations. It may be hard or seem silly at first but if you stick with it it can help. I think it could help with the cognitive load problem too. Maybe form an affirmation to kind of "clear the cache" of your mind, but to do it on auto cycle regularly out of habit. Remember- You are a burning energy. Use your fire, water, air, and the earth inside you to brew creative storms! Yes, sometimes storms destroy stuff, but you can aim that DESTRUCTION at shit that sucks in your life (that you can actually change, like negative self talk). Flow is magic and don't be afraid of that word no matter your background. That's just a word. You KNOW what I mean if you FEEL that burning inside you. Let it out! That's why we are here, right? Thanks for listening.

But a lot of your videos really helped me to understand and focus on the things that really matter to me, and entering flow state consistently helped me to feel enjoyment in my work again and see it as the passion that it used to be. And as you said, paradoxically abandoning the end goal of success, money, or whatever is what actually fulfills you and makes you successful. I wanted to say a huge thank you. Your information is very valuable and more people should see it.

Does anyone else have a problem with Miyamoto Musashi as an example of how to live? He may be seen as a philosopher now, but when you Zoom out and consider the big picture, Musashi was a warrior who killed his “enemies” for a living. As the legend goes, he went around from place to place actually searching out other men who dared to consider themselves masters simply to challenge them. His defeat of these men, who didn’t seek him out but of course took up his challenge because like attracts like (in other words, it takes two to tango or it ain’t a Tango…how about using this…It takes two to tangle or it ain’t a tangle…) and his sole purpose, as the story goes, was to defeat these masters and declare himself the master of masters. Does anyone else see this as the ultimate ego exercise? Then, after he’s defeated everyone he can think of in his known world, he finds a cold, lonely cave and spends his final years there, writing about the things he gleaned from his warrior days. This goes against what we know to be the components of a life well lived…if you fight all your life and choose to remain separate from any form of loving relationship (this part isn’t touched upon in the stories but he didn’t live in the cave surrounded by family and friends) what else do you know…and what else can you teach but fighting, separation…the art of the sword…that clearly isn’t conducive to life. The sword may represent protection from death, but, in real life, a sword wasn’t thought of and designed for protection. It was forged in fire, tempered so it cut flesh in the most efficient manner possible, so the swordsman could conserve his energy for further killing. Yes, we come into this world as an individual and we leave this world as an individual. It is the human condition, but I invite you to consider that there are so many arts that aren’t forged in fire and steel in which you may become truly proficient. Additionally, consider where Musashi learned about who is his enemy…from a feudal overlord who dictated his every thought from the time he could think. He, too, was forged in fire and tempered by steel. He was, and still represents, the sword. Those who believe in enemies will always find them…Musashi exemplifies this. If we idolize this man as a teacher to emulate, it’s no wonder we have such a love affair with war…we are so deeply in love with our own reflections on it.

Excellence is excellence no matter the field. And quite frankly, you sound like the weakness which is eroding the western world. As soon as one party takes violence off the table, they've lost. Warriors, fighters, men, they accept and embrace their capacity for violence and develop it, so that when it is needed, they can draw on it immediately. It was a different time, a different world, but yet in our "modern world" we still go back to history for fundamental lessons and truths. He was a warrior, a fighter, a master, duelling was how he survived in life, what should he have done, let someone else kill him instead just "cause viowence is wong"? Win enough, you get a reputation, and every cocky idiot trying to make a name for themselves will come and challenge you, and you'll be cutting down youth like chaff. Seek out the best, become the best, have such a fearsome reputation that only the best will even consider challenging you, and you're saving lives. It was a simpler time, a more brutal time. But also, a cleaner time. Mushashi isn't glorified because of his profession, Mushashi is glorified for his excellence, his wisdom, his lessons and truths which stand to this day.

I kept maybe 3 towels on hand. Never more than a week or two of food in the kitchen. All back in 2006-2009 I still have very little in the way of physical possessions. But I have a lot of digital 'junk' (photos, documents, etc) I suppose, on my current PC. I feel like this might be a contributing factor to my feeling burnt out and with little creativity. I might just need to purge back down to the essentials there as well.

Diary of The DarkStar 1 My earliest memory of being different happened because of the discusions being had between my mother and the first of many MDs a neurologist who in no simple terms told her that I would never be able to write/read, who told her that my thinking would be greatly impaired, and while it is true that i present with a cystic mass about the size of a closed fist i have never let THAT come between me and getting this MBA finished, so i can go to bigger places, i need to show the community of MDs what a person with different abilities can do and my plan to SHOW not TELL is to become a PhD and speak on equal terms with my academic peers, advancing treatment options for those with spasticity related conditions i am DarkStar The Humble Master in Training shining for those who ARE different, and the care teams responsible for keeping this sensitive human machinery going strong

Rian, thanks for sharing your amazing content and wisdom. While I don’t know if you have children, or looked into their particular challenges, please, mind if I ask you about your opinion on how to develop flow and minimalist in kids? The new generations are exposed to massive materialism, consumerism and digital dopamine hits-even with at home “toilet” or rules- unless someone is reclusive somewhere in the world, that is just a reality for many children. Thank you!

ith this video , which could have condensed into 3.2 minutes instead of 32 minutes , without losing clarity . Most of it is a sequence of paraphrases .

I know I’m late but Bruce Lee has a quote that supports this: i fear not the man who knows 10000 kicks but rather the man who has practiced 1 kick 10000 times

Thinking about things means that you already had funds to buy them. I wish I could have such "problems" like scratch on watch.....

My problem is I have many interests and future plans. I owned retail stores and did online sales so I have thousands of dollars of merchandise. I’m a musician so I have a music studio, equipment, PA system, amps, etc. I also have thousands of dollars of camera and video equipment for my music video making. I’m also a contractor and land investor so I have thousands in tools and equipment for that. I’m several people so I possess the possessions of several people. I need a pole barn for my work and hobbies, and an empty house to live in. Getting rid of all my external possessions seems like a mistake but I do feel too cluttered. Any ideas to help?

This video is really good, but what about controlling our emotions. I might know or learn everything u say, but why Can't I apply it? Is it because I don't have enough will? Is it because I'm addicted/chained to many things? Is it because I can't stay in that moment of cognitive resistance? How can I actually have the power to change my habits or remove other ones? Do I need a stronger reason? Am I making too many excuses? Do I need to eliminate the easiest thing first and then go on from there? Is it because of my beliefs/Mindset?
