How Minimalism Can Be Applied to One's Lifestyle

B. Todd Bailey is a manager at Fortress Risk Management LLC, based in Cheyenne, Wyoming. B. Todd Bailey recently became a representative for Ariix, a health and nutrition wellness company.

In its latest company blog update, Ariix discusses minimalism, a philosophy that upholds the belief that less is more. The philosophy has recently gained ground, especially in social media. However, minimalism is more than just a trending topic on Twitter. Throughout the course of history, many people have embraced this form of lifestyle, including great men such as Leonardo da Vinci and Joseph Brotherton.

There are many ways that minimalism can be applied to one's life, such as in the simplification of one's choice of activities, for example. Under the influence of positive feedback from social media sites, people today overload themselves with activities; they often spend all of their free time and money going on numerous adventures and trips just to show to the world via social media that they are always busy with something.

In this case, minimalism involves cutting down on any gratuitous activities so that free time can be enjoyed doing essential household work or simply engaging in introspection and meditation.
