卖掉所有不必需物品体验简约生活的乐趣

A minimalist lifestyle entails being mindful about the things we own, the things we buy, and how we spend our time, said Francine Jay, author of The Joy of Less. It is a lifestyle that values experiences more than possessions. 《简单的快乐》作者一书弗朗辛杰(Francine Jay)说：简约主义生活方式需要人们留心对待自己所拥有的物品，所购买的物品，以及对时间的利用。这种生活方式重视生活体验而不是拥有的物品。

Naturally, minimalism tends to flourish in countries that have embraced consumer culture, such as the US, UK and parts of Europe. Its difficult to revolt against the get-more-stuff mentality if that isnt your countrys way of life. But you can live a minimalist life anywhere and capture more money for savings and great experiences, and have less stuff to maintain and clean. 在一些包容消费文化的国家，比如美国、英国、以及欧洲一些国家，极简主义自然而然会走向繁荣。但是如果一个国家的大部分人没有简约主义的生活理念，那么想要突破拥有更多的思维模式就困难了。但是无论在哪里，只要你想，都可以实现简约的生活，这样的生活方式可以让你拥有更多的积蓄，以及更加舒适的生活体验，更少的物品需要打理。

Heres how to get back to basics: 这里教你如何让生活返璞归真： What it will take: Mental fortitude. Getting rid of your things requires commitment. You have to make a decision about every item you own, and that can be mentally taxing and it wont happen overnight. 思想上的准备要内心坚定。对你的东西说再见需要有坚定信念。你需要对每一件东西的去留做出决定，这个过程可能很费神，而且也不是一晚上的功夫就能解决的事情。
