In behavioral psychology, there is a widely discussed phenomenon known as the "21-day effect". It is said that if a person repeats a certain action or positive thought for 21 days, a Xi habit is formed psychologically and behaviorally. This is seen as a time to change your lifestyle and develop good Xi. So, how do we use this 21-day time to start living minimalist?Let's work together to make life simpler and better by bit every day.
Day 1: Clear the expired sample
On the first day, let's start with the small details around us and empty those skin care products and makeup samples that have long expired. Maybe for some reason, we are reluctant to throw it away, but such small objects not only take up space, but can also have a negative effect on the skin. Get rid of these no longer applicable samples and get your makeup table organized to make room for a fresh start.
Day 2: Organize your wardrobe
The next day, let's focus on our dressing environment. Organize your wardrobe, sort it out, and get rid of clothes you no longer need. When you open your wardrobe and see the neat arrangement at a glance, every day will become more relaxed and enjoyable. This is not only the tidying up of the space, but also an improvement of one's attitude towards life.
Day 3: Drink from a clear glass
On the third day, a small change makes life more ritualistic. Drinking water from a clear glass not only makes the whole process beautiful, but also keeps an eye on the clarity of the water. Every bite is a care for your body, adding a little sense of delicacy to your life.
Day 4: Travel and relax
On the fourth day, we might as well choose an intimate trip to get away from the hustle and bustle and experience the beauty of nature alone. This tour is not about exploring wildly, but about emptying your mind and enjoying the tranquility. On this special day, allow yourself to completely relax, feel the harmony of body and mind, and give yourself a luxurious time.
Day 5: Wake up early and exercise for 20 minutes
On the fifth day, let the morning be energized. Try waking up 20 minutes early and doing simple exercises like morning jogging, jumping rope or yoga. Not only does this activate the body, but it also helps to improve productivity and quality of life throughout the day.
Day 6: Meditate for 10 minutes
On the sixth day, use meditation to tune in to your heart. Take 10 minutes to focus on your breath and let your mind be at peace. Create a quiet space for yourself in your busy life to help you face challenges better.
Day 7: Deposit $20 per day
On the seventh day, develop a good Xi of saving. Save at least $20 a day to build a financial foundation for your future through modest savings. This small act of saving will play a positive role in the future.

After spending these 21 days of minimalist life challenges, we may have felt the changes in our lives and found peace of mind from the little things. Minimalist life is not an overnight luxury, but through a small change every day, let us gradually get away from impetuousness and return to inner peace.
Perhaps during these 21 days, we gradually learned to persevere, discovered some new Xi habits, or gained more happiness because of some of these changes. Minimalism is not a static pattern, but an attitude that varies from person to person and from life to life.
Let's welcome a new starting point of life together, let minimalism become a part of our lives, and welcome every sunrise and sunset with a calm mood. May this 21-day journey of minimalist life be the starting point for us to move towards a better future.
