Although dull, but live really, live freely.
Where there is life, there is home, whether it's it runs in the family's home, a couple's home or a person's home. These homes are places where we live, emotional sustenance and spiritual harbor.
No work pressure, no social anxiety, no need to cater to anyone, go home, close the door and live a comfortable little life.
More and more people like to stay at home and live a life without competition.
Young people play games at home and chat online; Middle-aged people accompany their children and do what they like; Old people pay attention to health and exercise.
You can make do with life or pay attention to life. A clean and tidy, well-organized home is the owner's business card and a true portrayal of the living atmosphere.
In life, there are two little things that are meaningful and need to be done often, that is, cleaning and emptying.
First, clean up
People need a lot of materials, food, clothing, housing and transportation to live, and everything is ready.
Eat, drink and sleep. We consume them every day. After a long time, we gradually have a new understanding of people's needs and the attributes of goods.
In the past, the house was always in a mess, and it was very tiring to clean up, and I didn't know what the quality of life was.
The refrigerator is either empty or full; Different styles of clothes in the wardrobe, racking their brains to think which one is good before going out; There are a lot of things in the east and a lot of things in the west. Everything is available when not in use, and everything is lacking when in use.
Such a messy life, some people will become a habit, and some people finally realize that it is time to clean up and make a "break".
There are only a few home-cooked dishes that family members like to eat. You need to prepare food for the next day every day. There is no need to hoard it in the refrigerator. Just use its fresh-keeping function, so you don't have to throw out expired food every once in a while.
There are only a few books you like to read. Read low-value books first, extract the essence, and then sell them as waste. It is not too much to read the rest of the books intensively several times.
Everyone needs very limited daily necessities. Try not to buy unused or commonly used ones, and cut off the difficulty of cleaning from the source.
It is very similar to the concept of "breaking up". The only difference is that clean things are not discarded, not wasted, and consumed as much as possible.
Can be extravagant, but never waste.
In order to clean up and consume these hoarded and inappropriate materials, I lived an ascetic life for almost two years.
Two years later, when I want to get anything again, I will think first: "Do I really need it?"
And cleaning has become extremely simple, which is nothing more than sorting out the waste that has been consumed.
From this I understand that the less desire, the happier life, because "less" is easy to control and control.
Of course, your life needs your decision.
Second, empty.
If cleaning is a process of integration, classification and consumption, then emptying is the time to complete.
When it is finished, it is empty. If something new can be put in, it's empty.
What things need to be emptied in life?
Unhealthy food:
The older you get, the more you pay attention to your health and cherish your life. No matter how delicious the food is, I don't want to try it. Because you know the hardships of living, health is the most important thing. If you live well, you must eat well.
Relationships that make you miserable:
Whether it's friendship or love, if a relationship makes you feel pain or even doubt your life, then give it up and sort it out.
Many things and people are destined to be passers-by in life. They come to you in a hurry, stir up a circle of ripples, and then turn around and leave. Not letting go, not letting go, will only increase the pain and entanglement.
Past emotions:
Empty your mind, no matter what the past is, it has passed, and those pains and sorrows are not worth remembering and savoring.
People are tired of living, mostly because they can't let go of the past, can't untie unhappy knots and lack courage. Only by living in the present and clearing the past can we go into battle lightly in life.

In life, cleaning and emptying these two meaningful little things can make life simple and comfortable.
