    As a fellow minimalist, looooove to see when someone who already doesn't have much clutter STILL go through the process of decluttering!!!!!! It's amazing how we always still find something. And the best part is the stuff that you get rid of keeps getting nicer and nicer, minimalists don't donate ugly stuff!!!!! It becomes a win for everybody! As you become more mindful of quality, your objects are very carefully selected and even if you make mistakes, they are great for someone else.

    I like your video. You are authentic and sweet. So many people on these types of videos are over the top and that’s frustrating because we’re all people, let’s talk like real people and not “entertainers”. I subscribed because you’re easy to listen to. Thanks!!

      🙊 Hi, I didn't know that you could donate towels, and blankets to the animal shelters. I just thought when you donate towels, sheets, blankets, and ect to them that they had to be new ones. I didn't know that they take used ones. So, thank you for letting me know that, because I was going through my linen closet and about to get rid of the ones that have holes in them or the ones I had for some time now, that I don't uses. Thank you again for letting me know that, I appreciate that.

I have realized that looking at clutter constantly, stresses me out in every way. So consider me a work in progress. And a brand new subbie! I just started my journey in February.

    Just found your channel- aspiring to pair down and make a simpler life. I down sized a year ago from a 5 bed/3.5 bath to a small cottage due to becoming disabled. I NEED HELP!! My living room is my storage unit right now and I am living in the kitchen and master bedroom while I slowly try to go through the boxes stacked in my main living area. I’m so overwhelmed!! 53 years of accumulating- clothing is my biggest challenge

      Be kind to yourself. Take your time. I'm disabled and downsized, too. It has been ten years in the new space. Now I'm ready for a ranch. So decluttering again! It's getting better. I am able to dress quickly and cook faster. Keep going. It's worth it.. you're worth it.

    After years of hoarding and lack of object permanence caused by ADHD, I have had many rounds of decluttering over the past few years. We have nearly decluttered to the point where Id be comfortable saying Im a minimalist but I always feel I dont have few enough things to call myself a minimalist, its like imposter syndrome. I have wanted to be more minimal since highschool and now at age 21 I am extremely close to achieving my goal. I feel so much lighter and cleaning has to be done less often and theres just less things to clean up. It feels really freaking good considering I used to literally have a closet stuffed full of things and into all my storage units. Now I have to work on my impulse buying/ buying things I never end up using. Thank you for the video!

    Eight months ago we had a toilet leak and so through insurance and we have really good insurance apparently so we are now living in the middle of a non-scheduled renovation. They’re taking out all of the linoleum in the house that matches the bathroom and that is a lot because it’s in the kitchen living room dining room Front hall downstairs to the basement and so when we decided to put in the new luxury vinyl, we decided to put it throughout our whole entire house so now we are just living through that. My husband and three dogs have been down in Texas for the winter and they’re on their way home and they’re coming home to a house that looks like it took a direct hit by a bomb.. I had this big fantasy in my mind that these workers would have all this work done before he came home and it’s a disaster but it’s like some kind of therapy by having all of my stuff in boxes in my living room and I have to look at it every day so I know I have lots of stuff.

      @helen6365 Год назад

      @@consciousflowliving there are a lot of people on RUclips who break down the MLM structure better then I could. @HannahAlonzo being one of the best imo. When someone joins an MLM everyone becomes a money making possibility… every friend, family member, and stranger. Your paycheck is mainly based upon how many people you recruit and stay on in the company rather than the products sold to “regular customers”. This is why so many people compare them to pyramid schemes, take out the product in any MLM and it looks very much like a pyramid scheme. Also when people start making money and moving up in the ranks some are told to make your lifestyle look more lavish as to attract more people into joining underneath requirement wise. It’s also sad to see those in MLMs being taught to push people into making bigger purchases or lock them into auto ship that you have to pay to get out of. Suggestions to take out a credit card are common. All of this just to maybe make some money. I can keep going but this would be too long a comment haha. Minimalism is meant to help us live simple lives… use our time with intention, spend money with intention, and bring products into our life with intention.

I care too much about the planet to continually buy and throw away plastic goods. 💚🌎 What works for me might not work for you!

      @@consciousflowliving thats super👌. You are the first American you tuber I have watched, that is decluttering and minimalizing, that does that.. most say they will "buy disposable party table ware." .. which honestly makes my blood boil 😭.
      I have a 12 set.. but often use up to 80% of it all just with me and my two sons because i only put the dishwasher on when it is full...and as I bulk and batch cook, sometimes it takes 2 days until i put it on. But my 12 set doesn't stress me because everything has its own shelf in the cupboards ie plates on one shelf, bowls on another etc.
      Decluttering and living more minimal is a personal thing ie. Everyone has a different "stuff stress threshold" and it is the "normal way of life" in Europe. We cannot buy "everything" on credit here.. so its not such a consumer system.
