5 Streamable Documentaries Related to Minimalism
Posted by PATRICIA STRIGGLES
About a year ago I became interested in minimalism. I created a Pinterest board and started collecting inspiration photos. Fast forward to present day and I am now taking steps to declutter my life. If you follow me on Instagram then you have seen me going through this journey in my ig stories. I have been letting go of stuff but gaining more of myself in the process.
Over the course of two days, I watched 5 documentaries related to minimalism that helped change my views on materialistic wealth. I got a few questions from followers about what to watch and decided I should create a post to help others who may be interested in learning about minimalism. Let me make this clear, in no way am I striving to be able to fit all my personal in one carry on sized bookbag. I am looking to find a balance in my life.
Here are 5 streamable documentaries that helped kick start my journey. If you have a minimalism related recommendation for me to check out please leave a comment.
