Intro
Welcome to Minimal 1, a podcast about minimalism and simplicity. My name is Simon, and today, we’re getting rid of stuff, and we’re gonna like it. Let’s go!

Main
For many people, getting rid of possessions can be difficult. I can say I’m no different. The reason for me is because I try to only acquire possessions after I’ve thought about it a lot and I’ve invested time and money into them. Then there’s also the memories that one can associate with said possessions. But at the end of the day, I actually cherish getting rid of stuff. The reason is because once I’m able to realize that I am not my possessions, I feel more powerful and secure in my own body. The more attached you feel to physical objects, the less attached you are to yourself. The feeling I get when I get rid of stuff is almost always that of joy and weight being lifted off my shoulders.
