In this video I share some recent thoughts on minimalism and connecting to our own nature. Here's a little summary:
Minimalism brings us closer to our natural state of being. Only relatively recent we as a modern society started collecting so much stuff. Consumerism really exploded in the past 100 years. Although we’re so lucky to live in such wealthy countries, all this stuff and the work and pressure we have to endure to be able to buy and maintain all this abundance, removes us from our natural state of being. I’m getting more and more in contact with my intuition and my natural being. I realize that once you peel down the layers of your high maintenance life, you start to feel and reconnect with what is truly good for you. I’m learning that the basic things that feel good often are good for us. Now I’m not talking about addictive things like loads of sugar, tv shows or anything like that. I’m talking about the natural things. For example; we enjoy the taste of fruit, because it’s healthy for us. We enjoy walking on bare foot, because that’s our natural state of being. Our natural state of being, being outside, brings me so much peace. Nature has such a calming effect on our body mind and soul. And I’ve realized that nature is constantly calling me and I’m constantly yearning to connect with the infinite nature of our planet and beyond. That’s why I think minimalism is such a powerful escape. It’s a way of rejecting and refusing our system. A way of silencing the noise.
Removing the unnecessary is a powerful practice. With every item you declutter, item you refuse to buy, by being intentional about how you spend your time and who you spend your time with, you get a little bit closer to your true nature. Living more minimal and intentional is a way of not allowing things to distract you.
So with minimalism I have a more slow approach where I take my time to do research about items. And I pick something that is made to last. I try to go for items that align with my values and slow way of living.
That's why I'm very excited about Be Lenka making this video possible. They are a brand who make ethical slow fashion items. In this video I'm showing their new barefoot shoes. If you are not familiar with barefoot shoes, they are basically shoes that give you the closest experience to walking barefoot. The shoes have very thin soles, so you can really feel the ground and they have a wide toe box so your feet can move naturally in the way nature intended. I love the attention Be Lenka pays to creating ethical slow fashion items.
The shoes are designed and made in Czech Republic and Slovakia, right in the heart of Europe under strict European Union laws related to health, safety, and quality. The materials are locally sourced and the products are made to last.

They also have a lot of other beautiful models (and even socks!!)
Listening to your natural state of being is not as hard as it may sound and it gets easier over time. The more you reconnect with yourself the more you recognize things that could use some improvement or changes.
It’s in little things like that you can learn to reconnect with yourself.
For me it’s a combination between listening to your gut feeling, using common sense and looking deeply in the way nature intended us to move and behave.
Thank you for connecting with me today! I appreciate it a lot ❤️
