Don't let the word minimalism scare you. Minimalistic living is not about getting rid of modern advancements and living in the stone age. It's only about keeping things that are useful, meaningful and add value to your life.

The less stuff you have, the less time, energy and space it takes to maintain it. It frees up your own time, energy and space to let in more love and happiness.
