Episode 3219:

Leo Babauta encourages us to embrace minimalism by letting go of possessions that burden us emotionally and physically in "How to Let Go of Possessions." He delves into the emotional challenges and rationalizes the benefits of a clutter-free existence, aiming to simplify our attachment to material things.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://mnmlist.com/how-to-let-go-of-possessions & https://mnmlist.com/stop-making-it-complicated

Quotes to ponder:

"Letting go can be an amazing release, and when you do, you’ll feel liberated and light."

"You might also notice that the first two are associated with the past, the second two are associated with the future, and only the last deals with the present."

"Focus on living now, in the present. And when you do that, you realize you don’t need any of these possessions."
