8 Ways You Can Tell That It's the Right Time to Quit
Your brain is the biggest obstacle.
What’s hard for human beings is letting go...
The most common biases
- You’re focused on the time and energy you’ve already invested, or the sunk cost fallacy.
- Your eyes are trained on positive cues -being overly optimistic and loss averse. Always trying harder and for longer.
- When we realize we’re likely to fail at a job or other endeavor, we begin to see that goal as even more valuable than it was initially.
- FOMO—and the fear of making a mistake.
Do this if you want to quit
- Get a bead on your emotions. Don’t set yourself up for a “straw-that-broke-the-camel’s back” moment.
Motivate yourself. Quitting isn’t an end in and of itself; it’s a pathway to a new destination.
Make a plan that not only sets your new goal but anticipates possible setbacks and pitfalls along the way.
Prepare for the stress of transition. The best defence is knowing ahead of time how you’re likely to react.

Minimalism for the affluent
Many people have minimalism forced upon them by circumstance. Poverty and trauma can make frivolous possessions seem like a lifeline instead of a burden.
Although many of today's gurus insist that minimalism is useful regardless of income, they target the affluent. The focus on self-improvement is more about accumulation.
Minimalism of ideas
True minimalism is not about throwing things out, but about challenging your beliefs in an attempt to engage with ideas as they are, to not shy away from reality or its lack of answers.
Underneath the vision of “less” is a mode of living that heightens the miracle of human presence.

How Minimalism Can Help You Find Wellness
The Seven Pillars of Wellness:
- Spiritual Wellness
- Physical Wellness
- Financial Wellness
- Emotional Wellness
- Intellectual Wellness
- Environmental Wellness
- Social Wellness
Spiritual Wellness and Minimalism
Spiritual wellness is not about any specific faith, but about fostering a sense of inner peace and harmony, while conducting activities that supports one's beliefs and values.
Minimalism, at its core, is about alignment with our core values, while removing distractions. Minimalism contributes significantly to spiritual wellness by directing our finite resources of time, money and energy towards the things that matter to us the most.
Minimalism and Physical Wellness
Physical wellness is about developing healthy habits and minimizing any risky behaviors, which can affect our well-being.
Minimalism encourages physical wellness by making healthier eating choices, avoiding any unnecessary eating, focusing on an active lifestyle, and removing physical clutter from our surroundings.
