My favourite pair of pants are my dirtiest ones. I just accidentally ruined them with pigment while painting, got mad at myself first, but now they have this special purpose, giving me the freedom to express and work freely without the constant fear of messing up my other clothes. Sometimes, when possible, it's a good way to positively repurpose things instead of throwing them away.
Love this! I wiped down my boots after getting to work(I listened to the video on the drive). They're beautiful boots, but the shipyard is sooooo dusty! It took 3 minutes to wipe off the pair and they're much cleaner and I feel much better wearing them. Looks like they'll need daily cleaning, just like my car(so dusty!).
Talking about empty space: I had an impressive experience. I came into my kitchen lost in thought. I had completely forgotten that I had cleaned and tidied it from top to bottom in the morning. Everything was neat, clean and aesthetically pleasing. When I entered and suddenly saw this emptiness, it was as if my mind expanded beyond my body and filled the entire room. I felt light and almost as if my soul was growing beyond me. Just for a very brief moment. I felt it physically, it was not just a thought. Since then, I have perceived order and emptiness as a place for potential to literally “unfold”.
The negative associations point is so good! I keep many material things that are negative forces in my life because I feel guilty. Maybe they were gifts, or remind me of someone I don't like, or I paid a lot of money for them. But every time I look at them, I feel bad. I will get rid of them.
The art of Kintsugi is very beautiful, sometimes it’s a pity if your favorite ceramics are broken, and Kintsugi is a good way to restore and make things even more unique. Thank you for your positive videos.🌸
Oh Aki, you don't know how you spoke from my heart and mind today!- As an only child, grandchild and niece I inherited 4 households (house, weekend house and 1800 squaremeters of property). I have been selling, giving away and donating, it just doesn't get any lesser. If I could afford it I'ld send you a 1st class to Germany.- My mind runs in circles and needs decluttering.-- I always take your wise words to heart, it is just not that easy to throw away the masses of stuff ❣❣
I followed ur point about getting rid of excessive decorations, after i done it, i feel my space is so much quieter, it even helped cleared the noises in mind, its so true. Thank u for the great advice!
I loved your post. The fridge is another source of negative energy. I always keep fresh food and an eye on the leftovers. A clean fridge means a clean me. Blessings from your friends in Chicago.
When my tv broke, I didn't replace it. I have so much more time now. I actually wrote a novel and don't think I ever would have if I still had the tv. Ads made me feel like I had to have what they were selling and programs showcasing beautiful homes and beautiful people made me unhappy with my life. I don't miss the tv at all!
What a wonderful presentation. I've been news and commercial free for 14 years. I especially liked the shoe analogy. I have a constant cycle of clean shoes every day as i spend so much time outside. My property and inside home is filled with plants and i cherish them all. A friend recently brought me 2 ferns she had neglected and offered them to me for my compost heaps. I just watered them and they are beautiful, lush and add a sparkle to the area i placed them. Bless you for your loving, positive offerings. ❤😊
Arigatou, I have been going through a major downsizing in my life. It has been very liberating. It has also made me realize what a waste it is having so much "stuff". I find it serendipitous that I have found your channel. My friend has been talking to me about Nicheran Buddhism and I have been saying Arigatou every morning and taking time to "Tadaima". I am planning on binge watching your channel this week.
If you have lots of cables, and can't get rid of them, as they go to your numerous electronics, I've found bundling them tightly, either in loops or looser folds, keeps the mess to a minimum. It allows you to easily pick out which one you need in the moment, without having to detangle a pile of cords.
Thank you, you made many good points. I have a doll and stuffed animal from my childhood, I am 63. As you can imagine, they are pretty worn, but they carry so many joyful memories that I cannot part with them. I don't have them displayed, but I do have them wrapped beautifully in a special place.♥🙏
@@timriehl1500 thanks for responding! I have mine in my dresser drawer, wrapped in a sweet little blanket, just as if she were a real baby. Every time I see her, I get this happy-happy-joy-joy feeling, haha ❤️
Thank you Aki. The one about shoes got to me, I have to put aside my old, dull sketchers but they're so comfortable. Totally agree about hanging on to things that are linked to bad memories, it does nothing to cheer the heart 💚🤗
Ah yrs cables. I have a small box labeled electronics and have no idea what is in them. So guess where I'm starting my drclutter😊 I thoroughly enjoy all your videos. They make me smile
Oh I can totally relate to repair and reuse things. But here in germany my friends always tell me, that Im "stingy" because I tend to repair things instead of buying something new.
That’s not stingy. Maybe there’s a different meaning in German but in English it means excessive thrift- to the point that it causes harm to yourself or others. As long as the repaired item doesn’t cause harm it’s not stingy, at least not in English 😅 As a matter of fact it is environmentally friendly to repair something rather than throwing it away ❤
I am proud to say I have let go of all of these things! It leaves so much time to focus on hobbies and loved ones when we do not have so many distracting belongings.
I have been thinking of getting rid of my Television Set for years and after watching this I finally decided to do it! I sold it to my neighbour Bertha. I can watch all of my TV shows on one of my laptops anyway! Thank you Samurai!!
I haven'r watched your videos for a while and I noticed something and someone is missing.You have such a good vibe and you make me laugh.I started to declutter the place I am staying and as you said,now it's like I can breathe fresh air.Such a good feelling to have.I also got rid of synthetic material items,even the rug from my room which I replace it with a woollen one.Keep your good work and thank you for your wisdom.Things really don't make us happy.Hugs from Europe
Right on! I've been trying to get my friend to get rid of their TV too but they're too addicted to it and convinced in false beliefs that it's somehow good. So frustrating!
The shoes one is interesting. I notice which shoes (and clothes) I wear depends on how I feel about myself. So when I feel good about myself, I wear my favourite shoes, and when I'm not feeling great I wear the old ones that look fine but are falling apart.
Diaries with negative feelings from my youth: I don't feel so alone with what I did, now. Before I left to go to continue to a larger university, I had several hand made journals, full of angry and sad feelings..and I didn't want to bring it with me BUT I didn't want anyone else to read them or keep them so I let them go, and burned them and said good bye to the past. I don't regret it I still have a problem keeping stuffed animals and dolls 😂
Another great video, Aki. I had been filling up a clear plastic bag with shredded paper. My dog got hold of it and liked to lie on it, so I didn't mind. Then a couple of days ago he wanted to rearrange it, and split the bag with his claws. Shredded paper all over the area. I couldn't bring myself to clean it up, but your video prompted me to get the dust pan out and find a new plastic bag, and here I go! Thank you!
Another fabulous video, Aki-sama! I'm struggling with the stuffed animal thing. I really love them, and they bring me comfort, especially when I experience anxiety or panic attacks. That and since I was young, I've assigned each of them a name and personality, so it's hard to say goodbye! I'm trying to find new homes with good people for them. I find that this makes letting them go more bearable (...no pun intended).

Good list, and stuffed animals certainly can multiply into too much. I visit a friend with a very cluttered two room apartment, and I enjoy her company, but so glad when it's time to leave, as it's stressful to be there.
New to this channel. 🙌❤ I can't believe I've never seen Samurai Matcha. I am a minimalist but still have plants. I have a hard time getting rid of withered plants. I feel sorry for them and try to take care of them. They do make me sad every time I see them though.
Thank you, I was sad that my little tree died.... I was still in the hop that it will miraculously spring back to life when I'm not looking... I feel ready to clear it out.
Excellent points, especially about the shoes and decorations. I remove the string from the hood of my hoodies. I never used them, and I prefer how they look without the string. Perhaps obsessively, if I can remove the label from any product I buy, I do that too. I will even choose products based simply on how easily I can remove the label.
Samurai Matcha-san, I threw everything away that was associated with my ex-lover. I removed pictures, gifts, compact discs, and even a backpack. Gone! I needed a clean break. 🇺🇸🤝🇯🇵
Great video. One of my difficulties is getting rid of old manga I've collected over the years. The thought that I've put so much money and time into them makes me afraid to get rid of them.
I stopped watching tv since 9 years now. No shows , movies coz it’s unnecessary drama and time wasting.. people find it weird about me.. but I don’t mind.. thanks for adding it in the list.
Instead of throwing away good cables, learn to organise them neatly. Wires are much better: wireless items require constant resupplying of batteries, which generate clutter and non-eco-friendly garbage. Plus, wireless devices transmit energy through the air, making you live in a constant cloud of electromagnetic smog. Long live the cables!
ads are driving me nuts, they're everywhere advertising me things i dont want but recently talked about or thought(!) non stop >.> everyones getting more forceful with them recently too. i have one fake plant xD im too overwhelmed at the moment to keep one alive.
I am proud of all the things you have been able to get rid of, including your TV. You have a computer though, so do you watch anything on that or is there a select few things that you do watch on it? Maybe you watch nothing on it since it is on the edge of TV. Do you watch any inspiring RUclipsrs? I'd love to see your recommendations if you have them. I haven't owned a TV since the 1990s. It just was never my thing. However, I do have some streaming services these days, but my queue is VERY small. I looked at my Netflix list and there are only 10 things on my to-watch list. I think your culture is very much about how there are spirits in items, while in my upbringing, if a spirit is in an item, it is a demon and holds power over us, so I don't own anything like stuffed animals or trinkets at all. It is fascinating to learn about such things.
I am definitely someone with minimal decorations, I hate lots of visual noise in my home. Wish I could get rid of tv but I love RUclips , maybe I can just watch less somehow, have more time for meaningful hobbies. 😀
Aloha dear, i really enjoy your videos (: ~ In this one when you came to the subject of toys/dolls, i hope this doesn't make people throw away ones that are truly a part of their heart. The few I have, have been with me almost my entire life; they have seen it all. We went on hiking trails and sail boat living; when i am down, they are very good friends. So.. if those old little guys carry the happiness of a wonderful past .. I cannot imagine abandoning them bc their plush is old. One of mine was hand made by my wonderful aunt. ~ ( but yes there is potential for lots of stuck/ stagnant energy in objects that were never given a life ). This said, i sincerely wonder what is your take on wabisabi ? I guess my personal comfort zone is minimal + areas to display things wabisabi. ( they are also meaningful to me ) One rule that i read a long time ago in a magazine was : "Anything smaller than a grapefruit" .. creates clutter. I have really found this to be true.
Great Video's as always Samurai Matcha! Loving he Videos. But Make sure to take care of your body as well. Because its getting cold here in Japan. Stay Safe! God Bless Jesus's Name Amen.
item linked to old memories - i still keep exboyfriend navy dog tags from 22 year ago. he is now married to second wife and have 3 kids. Here i am still single and childless. and i'm a minimalist. i dont know how to destroy it.

I’ve felt that a couple of times. I use that feeling as my compass point to aim for when I get off course.
@@trudyjohns9229 Oh wow! 😯 You are the first person i have heard of who also knows the feeling. I'm going to try it like you 🙏

あきさんお早うございます。
自分も今春TVを追いやり見なくなって多くの気づきがありました。
いかに膨大な情報に振り回されていた事か。
自分にとって欲しい必要なニュースは自ら探し出して見るようにしたり
自動的に与えられた便利に頼らず自分で創意工夫するようになり
これが又とても楽しいのです。
余分なものが削ぎ落とされていくのを体感しました。
1日のテレビ視聴時間は大きな時間のロスになっていました。
必然的に就寝も早くなり今では超朝型人間化しました。
一番の変化は集中力が高まった事です。
Arigatou, I have been going through a major downsizing in my life. It has been very liberating. It has also made me realize what a waste it is having so much "stuff". I find it serendipitous that I have found your channel. My friend has been talking to me about Nicheran Buddhism and I have been saying Arigatou every morning and taking time to "Tadaima". I am planning on binge watching your channel this week.

i would love for you to make a video in fengshui!! i got into it from dearmodern, and id love to hear you talk about it! its helped me immensely.
i love that you give alternatives to throwing things away. the negative meanings come from the mind, not from the stuff.
I have been thinking of getting rid of my Television Set for years and after watching this I finally decided to do it! I sold it to my neighbour Bertha. I can watch all of my TV shows on one of my laptops anyway! Thank you Samurai!!

Absolutely agree about your opinion about Tv free life.😊
Letting go of my tv in 2019 was one of the best things to do.

I agree about TV, I still have one in my house because I am not the only one who lives here, but I feel better not watching it.
Love you ❤.
You're really helping (also with english) , thanks
Amazingly good as always. Thank you.
Kintsugi is a wonderful way to repair treasured ceramics I also highly recommend! 🤗✨
