COURSE
Embracing Minimalism In Your Life
With Emilio Jose Garcia
There are many ways to interpret minimalism. The definition is different for each person and you can create your own minimalist life on your own terms. In this course, you are going to learn what minimalism is, and how you can implement minimalism in every area of your life. Minimalism is not about limiting yourself or deprivation. It’s quite the opposite. It’s about letting go of the non-essential to open up space, time, and energy for the things that really matter to you. You define what minimalism means to you. You define what’s important in your life right now. And you decide when it’s a good time to re-assess your situation. Life keeps evolving and your priorities, needs, and wants may change over time. This is why minimalism is a lifetime philosophy that will help you be intentional in every stage of your life, redefining yourself and the lifestyle that you want to live.

Great course! I learned a lot of basic techniques for taking a look at all areas of my life in order to ensure that I am meeting my needs and goals. Thank you!

The scope of this course is so large that I would rather call it "maximalism". I have already implemented several small changes in my life that I wouldn't have imagined without taking the course. I appreciate the warm and encouraging tone of each lesson. I will come back. Thank you.

I started this course because I was looking for tips to deal with the clutter around my home and wanting to embrace a more minimalist approach in my physical space. I was pleasantly surprised to realize that the course is so much more than that. It truly addresses minimalism in every aspect of your life, and I am so excited to start making positive changes to prioritize what matters to me and set boundaries against what doesn't deserve the space I'm giving it.

Life changing! There are simply not enough positive words to describe Emilio Garcia. Uplifting, encouraging, motivational…I could go on and on. This course was truly amazing and eye opening. Emilio is a wise, patient, companionate caring man that I feel very blessed to have found his course and teachings. This course in particular is one that I will keep with me always and refer back to often. This is the life path I never knew I was searching for. Thank you from my heart Emilio. Your teachings and kindness change lives.

This was such a wonderful and inspiring course! It encompasses so much more than what most consider “minimalism” and is more about creating a wonderful life. I would highly recommend it! The exercises in Day 6 - 12 were especially helpful for me. Thank you for your lessons, sincere and thoughtful responses, and positivity!

This course was exactly what I needed and is one I will revisit when reviewing my goals and creations on a regular basis. The level of support from Emilio is first class, with detailed, personal audio responses that encourage and motivate you at every step.

A great course, however the title is misleading. This is a well-being 101 course, and many practices are contrary to minimalist philosophy and/or lifestyle (most obvious example: making maximalist lists and calendar blocks to try fit everything and anything in your life, and only prioritise when it fails to fit).

Thank you Emilio for this amazing and inspiring course! You offer specific help in every area of one’s life. I am especially excited to implement your lessons in the area of organizing and decluttering my time, home, and digital life. Looking forward to be able to come back in 3 months to share my progress. Gracias por todo!

My favorite course on insight Timer! This course is amazing! I feel this course was created out of love for those that would be participating and genuine concern and hope to help people improve their lives. I had felt quite stuck trying to transition from one phase of life to another, and this course has given me clarity on how to proceed, feel fulfilled, and in control of what I would like to do going forward, and create what is important to me.

This course cover A LOT, which is a bit overwhelming at times if you’re not already an organized person. But Emilio is VERY active in the course classroom and it’s the first course I’ve taken on Insight Timer (and I’ve taken several) that feels like I am supported by a real, live instructor. He encourages interaction in the “classroom,” and his feedback was always fast, thoughtful and thourough. His genuine desire to help and authenticity shines through in every lesson. It’s the first time I’ve felt excited about decluttering (schedule, stuff, etc) maybe ever. Thank you Emilio!
