My recent book Travel Light<\/span><\/i><\/a> is a how-to guide for the practice of what I call \u201cSpiritual Minimalism,\u201d which is not to be confused with regular old minimalism.<\/p>\n\n

Long story short, in 2018, I was living in a beautiful two-bedroom apartment in Venice Beach when I felt an inner calling to get rid of everything that didn\u2019t fit inside of my 22-inch carry-on bag. My bag would effectively become my new apartment as I would begin living nomadically around the world. <\/p>\n\n

It took me 30 days\u2019 worth of yard sales and Craigslist posts to get rid of over four decades of furniture, art, photo albums, yearbooks, letters, clothing, knickknacks, winter coats, books, my cars, Vespa, and everything else.<\/p>\n\n

And about six months into my nomadic journey, I realized something: I still had too much stuff. So I got rid of the carry-on bag and downsized into a backpack. And now, five-plus years later, I\u2019m still happily living from a backpack as I continue to hop around the world, from hotels to Airbnbs to friends\u2019 extra bedrooms.<\/p>\n\n

Travel Light<\/i><\/b> is written for those who also feel called to live with less, but you\u2019re not sure where or how to start. Truth be told, there are numerous ways to start, depending on your individual situation.<\/b><\/p>\n\n

If this approach intrigues you, I want to share five common mistakes many new minimalists make\u2014and a handful of simple recommendations to get you started on a more mindful, purposeful minimalism journey:<\/p>\n\n

Don\u2019t get rid of too much too fast<\/b>
\nAlthough I completely emptied my entire two-bedroom apartment within 30 days, I had been intentionally prepping to live from a carry-on bag over the previous year by experimenting with taking only what I actually used while on my dozens of work trips. So in 2018, getting rid of my stuff was merely the final step in a long progression of steps. <\/p>\n\n

    My first recommendation is to go slow. Decide what sort of end result you desire, and start experimenting with what it would be like to only use what you envision keeping. Maybe get a storage room and put a handful of items in it each week until you run out of things you don\u2019t use. Otherwise, going too fast could prove to be unsustainable and discouraging.<\/i><\/p><\/ol>\n\n

    Don\u2019t make it about the external space<\/b>
    \nGetting rid of clutter doesn\u2019t resolve deep emotional wounds or past trauma. And some of that could be the root cause of why you engage in retail therapy or why you may cling to stuff you don\u2019t use or wear. And until you start doing deeper work on yourself, you can live in the most minimal-looking setting, but still feel cluttered inside.<\/p>\n\n

      Commit to daily meditation as a means of efficiently releasing stress, and engage in other inner work, such as therapy, journaling, seva (service), and daily gratitude practices to clear away the internal clutter. This is what is meant by Spiritual Minimalism. It\u2019s minimalism practiced from the inside-out.<\/i><\/p><\/ol>\n\n

      Don\u2019t treat minimalism as a one-time experience<\/b>
      \nMinimalism is less of an act, like Spring cleaning, and more of a lifestyle, like getting into shape. It doesn\u2019t end once you get rid of your stuff. Like being in shape, minimalism continues to inform what you do, how you do it, where you go, why, and pretty much every other choice you make in life. In other words, you recognize that every choice you make is either supporting the lifestyle or taking away from the lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n

        Start seeing everything you do (big and small) as an opportunity to reinforce the minimalist mindset, and make choices that support your desired mindset.<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/ol>\n\n

        Don\u2019t forget to adopt a larger purpose<\/b>\nGetting rid of stuff for the sake of looking like a minimalist is ultimately unfulfilling, and it\u2019s recommended to adopt a larger purpose for your minimalism adventure. That way, you will bring more enthusiasm and passion into your minimalism choices. You\u2019re not just getting rid of something for the sake of getting rid of it. It\u2019s going to help you by making space to exercise, create content, or to use as the meditation corner of your home.<\/p>\n\n

          My recommendation is to answer this question: How does becoming a minimalist help you help others? The answer is a clue into your purpose, and just know that there is no wrong answer. Or rather, it\u2019s an ever-evolving answer that will come into greater focus as you begin your journey. All you need for now is a loose idea of your why.<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/ol>\n\n

          Don\u2019t compare yourself to others<\/b>
          \nThe quickest way to make minimalism a drag is to compare yourself to other, more popular minimalists. It\u2019s certainly good to be informed of best minimalism practices and get tips from minimalist influencers, but their paths or suggestions may not work as well for your situation.<\/p>\n\n

            Be open to blazing your own path into minimalism, and be willing to adjust along the way. If you treat the entire thing as a learning experience, there are no mistakes. And you\u2019ll have a lot more fun along the way.<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/ol>\n\n
