What am I going to wear today? That daily question often wastes us tune and causes stress. Some people have many clothes and might still think. There '* nothing to wear "Hut. What if they have only six Items of clothing to choose from and wear for an entire month? That’s the idea behind Six Items or Less.
Six Items or Less is a social experiments, a gentle way of saying "no" to fashion consumerism (消费主义)and the high cost of clothing. Heidi Hackemer came up with the idea. She shared the idea with her friends. And all of a sudden, they had almost 100 people from around the world saying that they wanted to take part in this experiment.
It was an interesting month for them. Hackemcr was surprised at how few people notice that. She was wearing the same six items the whole month. Having fewer choices reduced stress in her life. "I learned what's really important and what's really worth stressing. I also into found that this simplicity exists in other parts of my life. I realized that physical things that we allow into our world really block our mind. And our mind can be quite a powerful and positive if we clear up a little bit."
Kristy Hogue said the experiment inspired her to reexamine her life. Within six items, at first she was really excited and everything was working out perfectly and she never got bored. Then she started to feel a little bored. Then she eventually accepted it and started to be more relaxed .
Alexander was one of the 40 men "Sixers". The most difficult part for him was having to wash clothes by hand every clay. Hut the experiments changed his perspective (观念)on what makes people happy. " We have many choices for everything . But all those choices don't necessarily lead up to any kind of satisfaction ion. We are any about novelty ( 新鲜事) In fact, slowing down little bit and considering your choices a little tightly, actually leads to more time, more happiness and more content.
