Minimalism involves narrowing down things to the essentials.  The simplicity encouraged by the minimalist lifestyle has many benefits in senior living:

1. Stress Relief
2. Boosts Productivity
3. Saves Money
4. Focus On What Matters
5. Less Burden on Loved Ones

1) STRESS RELIEF

Minimalism can help eliminate stress.  The more possessions a senior has, the more upkeep is required.  It can be overwhelming to have to handle a lot of things simultaneously.  As a result, seniors can suffer from stress and anxiety, affecting their sleep and weight.

---

2) BOOST PRODUCTIVITY

Studies reveal that seniors are more likely to get dissatisfied with life when surrounded by clutter. Dissatisfaction leads to procrastinating on tasks.  With minimalism, seniors tend to be more productive because their overall happiness and sense of well-being is greater.

---

3) SAVE MONEY

Minimalism aims at reducing the amount material items the senior must worry about, but it also helps them spend less by encouraging them to only buy necessities.

---

4) FOCUS ON WHAT MATTERS

If material possessions are acquired to satisfy a senior’s lifestyle, they get caught in a vicious cycle.  Buying things makes them happy, but then taking care of those things after the purchase becomes stressful. With minimalism, they only need to focus on what is vital to their lifestyle.

5) LESS BURDEN ON LOVED ONES

The less a senior can live with in the present means the less that someone else must deal with in the future.  Many seniors find joy in giving away possessions that they no longer need, but that someone else may cherish.
