Ronald L. Banks for me, Grief. My husband passed and I am having trouble deciding which things of his to keep, what will I actually use, and what might I regret parting with. At the same time, I feel the need to make this space my own now, because with everything here I feel like he might come home, and letting things go is acknowledging he won’t, and I find myself trying to hold on and let go at the same time and get overwhelmed. He has been gone 9 months and I am working in fits and starts when I feel strong enough to.
@@naomiquinlivan905 Aww, I'm sorry. Please accept my belated condolences. I was in the same boat with My Father. He died Eight Years ago and My Mother and I gave stuff to Charities. We felt good knowing that what he had someone else could use and value. My Mother gave his Rings, Tie Pins, and Cufflinks To My Cousin which he loved. He thought the world of My Father. It will get easier and he's always with you in spirit. I've seen my Dad in Dreams sometimes I've seen guys who look like my Dad and although it's hard sometimes, I know he's in heaven looking down on me and thanking me for taking care of My Mother. I know he's looking down at you and is very proud of how you've moved on.
1. Let go of physical and emotional clutter. 2. Focus on your own self-esteem. 3. Refresh yourself. Find peace. 4. Produce efficiently and progress. 5. Opportunity follows.
I recently got rid of a lot of clothes that I was holding onto, thinking to myself "I will wear it one day". Mind you, most of them I haven't even touched in years! After it was done, I felt relieved just like I got rid of a lot of weight! I've been seriously thinking about my buying habits and getting the things that I need rather than the things that I want and it has helped me tremendously. I've been subscribed to your channel for months now and I don't think I comment much... thank you. People like you are a motivation for people like me. Thank you for sharing because it really helps getting focused. Stay Blessed!
I have been decluttering one item per day for just about 1 yr now. It is getting harder to find something each day, but seems there is always something. Yes, that self esteem boost is so real! And the clarity, wow. I feel anxious when I am around messy areas now, in homes I might visit. It's good to know others have these same feelings too, as a result of letting go of the excess. This A.M. , I passed countless yard sales on my way to the gym and smiled to myself thinking that the stress of having to have one of those would no longer be something for me to worry about. Pure freedom from the chaos of clutter is priceless😁
I used to take my things to the flea market. I later realized that I could make more money by going to work instead. Thereafter, I donated to friends and family as well as donation boxes.
Rather than one item per day, I declutter the entire house every 5 years, because my life has changed. When my kids were young, I'd declutter every Spring and Fall.
My biggest declutter is from the person I live with. I cannot afford to live elsewhere. However, I set boundaries. I limit time and conversation so that I can be free to enjoy myself the majority of the day. It's a survival technique.
That’s exactly how I felt after I decluttered... I felt lighter and refreshed and not prone to anxiety and nervousness . Thank you so much for the reminder so true all your points!
Just started my minimalist journey. I recently started watching your videos and have been enjoying them... short but straight to the point without all the OVER excitement that most RUclipsrs have nowadays.
My favorite part of decluttering is that it makes easier to clean my home. My home is more tidy and there's less to clean and worry about. I just made a video on mental decluttering it's also an important part in a minimalist's journey
Love the 5th point. I have a multi-tasking, achieving ppl around me and I admire them but it’s also necessary to stop comparing myself with those ppl and should rather declutter tasks in the room in my brain then focus on what I really love to do and what I want to do. Chances are many around us but if you’re not focused or sharp enough to grab the one you really want, you might just skip it and keep on looking around the unimportant ones.
Hubby and I have decluttered stuff and donated it to a church rummage sale and to an animal shelter rummage sale. We donated books, and magazines to a public library. We donate to organizations that do good thing for others. We felt happy to do this and we have more room in our home. Others may just need the stuff we donated. I have noticed that stuff, that I don't need, just brings me down. Forgiveness helps, too. Love your videos. Have a great day. Love positive messages. From Indiana. Gm
Hey Georgiann! I’m really glad that you’re letting go of the excess in your life and are noticing a difference because of it! I’m excited for you and your journey, keep growing!
It's very difficult to let go of the negative things that have happened in my life. I have to stop and recognize the worry and anxiety. Then, force myself to focus on something positive.
I loved the comment about letting go gives self esteem because it is the truth! It is the total opposite of the advertising lie that you need x to be good enough. Nope you need to be self controlled and not buy some useless item and sabotage your self esteem. 👊✌️
Exactly! It feels great to be in control of your environment down to the very last detail. Your environment reflects exactly who you want to be as well as where you want to go in the future. It's an accomplishment as well as a feeling of progress.
Right now, I'm sruggling with organising, decluttering and letting go. I couldn't have found this video at a better time, I thouroughly enjoyed this video, deep! I feel I really needed to hear this (again and again and again). Thank you! Jah bless!!!
Hannah knowing that this video has and is helping you makes me happy. Keep growing and learning on your journey and if you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask!
Whoa. That visual at the intro just clicked in my brain. I’m constantly trying to reinvent myself both in my home and in my self ( mind, emotions, looks, hobbies, spirituality etc). No wonder I’m a mess. And this whole time I have truly been thinking that way of living was a good thing. How???
Sometimes it takes that one thing you really click for us and then the doors start to open. I’m glad this video resonated with you Lynnette! Keep growing and learning on your journey!
At age 70, I enjoy and appreciate your presentations, and take this decluttering seriously. Three years ago, I downsized 50% of the contents of my 3 bedroom home and moved to a 1 bedroom apartment. After much thought, I have begun now to officially minimize another 50% of my apartment in preparation of moving into a studio. Scary. However, I get the association of decluttering my stuff AND my inner self. Once that's accomplished -not if- I have no doubt I will be more content than I ever have. I want to experience that feeling. Thank you for the encouragement.
WOW - my wife and I just watched this video. Thank you! We have been doing this in bits and pieces and know the truth of what you are saying. Time to order a dumpster!
I understand what you mean. Try to figure out what your triggers are. What triggers you to want to buy and hold on to stuff. Once you know that you can focus on solving it. Keep growing on your journey!
I just listened to this and found it very inspiring, especially the last point. I'm 72 and maybe I'm crazy but I truly believe this holds for all ages because not all the new opportunities are physical. The opportunities to grow in heart, soul and mind are ready to be opened up to at any age. Of course, decluttering is going to clear away the smokescreen that was blocking the view. Thanks so much for sharing your wisdom. God bless.
Spot on Ron. Such true words. Smiled at all those objects you were holding in your arms, being bombarded by those tennis balls. Great fun introduction to your video. Your videos surely bring me much thought and are thoroughly enjoyable. A big thank you Ron. All the best.
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it! I thought it would be a cool way to introduce the topic. My girlfriend definitely hit me in the chin the first time we tried it haha, but I think it worked out nicely in the end!
@@RonaldLBanks I am sure you and your girlfriend have fun and a great time together. Throw balls around at each other but please no plates. Although have heard that some do things like that. Those of us that lead happy and peaceful lives are ever so fortunate. Dump worries and declutter in all areas of life. Enjoy your day.
Thank you Ron. This is so timely for me. I'm at the stage of my life where I am clearing out all the mental, emotional and physical clutter from my life. Thank you for your eloquence
Yes I am enjoying the conversation. I've recently decided to get rid of my physical clutter and I'm watching your videos to see how. I want to make my house cleaner which I believe will make my mind "cleaner". I have found that in the past when my house was cluttered my brain was also cluttered and that affects my performance at work. I always have to be on my toes at work and I can't with the clutter weighing me down. I generally do a deep clean every few months and then I would be good for a few weeks then the clutter starts again. I think it would be easier to be tidy if I had less stuff so that is the season I am in in my life right now. Tomorrow I am going to start decluttering. It's my day off so I'll have time. I don't like categorizing this journey because listening to a lot of your videos in this series I do believe I am already a "minimalist" in other aspects of my life but the physical clutter is the last thing I have to eliminate. Wish me luck
Hey I believe you feel like the clutter keeps coming back because you haven’t figured out what the deeper is issue for you and why you collect clutter. Give that some thought because that will help you figure out not only how to declutter but how to keep it from returning!
@@RonaldLBanks when I say clutter I just meant mess lol but I felt like clutter just sounded better. I tend to allow every thing to pile up in the entryway including shoes and trader Joe's bags. Whatever deliveries I receive I pile the empty boxes in the living room. I take the empty rinsed out food dishes out my bag and pile them on my kitchen counter until I need to wash and use again. The food dishes can't be stopped unless I immediately wash and put it in the dish rack when I get home and the shoes should be kept in a specified place but I stopped buying so much things I would have less deliveries coming to the house and the boxes wouldn't pile up so quickly. Of course I could be neater too but if I had less physical clutter it would be easier I think
I loved this video. I didn't realize decluttering could be so empowering. Thank you for opening my eyes. You gave me so much motivation to make changes in my life.
Knowing that I’m motivating you and really challenging you to think differently is awesome Anne! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to do that for you. Keep growing and learning!
This video resonated with me so much. Last September I quit a toxic job and from that came all these opportunities that wouldn't have came up if I hadn't mentally and physically "decluttered" that toxic job. Thank you Ron for your amazing videos
Gail Charlton this is awesome. I’m really glad that you’re enjoying the content. The freeing feeling you feel is only going to get better. Keep growing!
These videos have really helped me realize what I don't need. The more I listen to them ( and I have listen to alot of videos of this subject, you seem to be the only one to keep me coming back for more information in how to get rid of things I don't need.) and while it takes a long while to understand your advice, I do end up understanding it in the long run. So thanks for all of the work you put into these videos
Absolutely an important video today as I am on a de-cluttering journey (yes physical, emotional and mental clutter in working on)! Thanks my Virtual Son! God bless you!!
Hi! I am new and I really love your channel. I never was in RUclips but my daughter is also a RUclipsr and I started looking and I found you! God bless you!
Hi Ron, first off, I love your shirt! .... I definitely am making progress on my minimalist journey. For me there are four levels. The first and second level of decluttering were easy for me. Many of these items were duplicates. I am on the third level and asking harder questions. I do already feel a sense of relief and had people say my house has a better energy. I feel change slowly happening but that is the change that sticks.... thanks for another meaningful video!
I'm in Tuscany Italy having a great time and feel the pull to declutter the inbox and paperwork in my life so I can enjoy my life even more and experience next level joy and bliss bro
Making a minimalism playlist with just your videos haha, you speak so well and it’s to the point. Thanks so much sir! I look forward to learning more and I decluttered my art supplies and books last night. I found one book I don’t want anymore, a holster phone case for my Dad and found out my diffuser broke lol. But I will replace it in the future if I’d like, which I may not. That’s how I know things have changed, I’m not like “Omgsh I need to buy a new one”. I rethink, thanks again for sharing your time and life with us!
I’m really glad that my videos are helping you! Now that your perspective is shifting, it’s time to take advantage of your new mindset and take action!
I think i need to keep hitting reply. I def would give mire than ok ne thumbs up. Thank you. I do feel anxious and renewed when the house gets a good cleaning. I have started my minimalism journey. This will help with this plateau Im stuck at.
I looked up and seen that I had things because I got them from love ones not knowing that when I die my sons will have to throw it all away. I’m selling it now as we speak on let go.
This is so true. Every time another time leaves my house, I save time cleaning it. Lol. Little by little, I’m getting there. Do you have a video on a capsule wardrobe? I’m not exactly sure what it is, but I like a lot of color and I’m not sure it would work for me. Excellent video!
I love what you wrote here bro so true! Couldn't agree more! Literally I did a search for this here on RUclips and found your video! So glad I did! Hope and feel sure your well during these times! I'm decluttering my inbox from its thousands of emails.
I've seen a lot of videos about minimalism but I must say.. I really enjoy your way of making videos about it. It's some of the best videos I've seen about minimalism. Thank you!
I stop the video on 0.01 sec so I could tell you. love you Ron 4 all ur helpful tips. We have to go out later I will continue watching. So I can appreciate
First time on your channel and I absolutely love it! Been binge watching all your videos and this one speaks to the core of my soul. Thanks a lot for all your tips. Much appreciated. Love from the Caribbean ♡
Great video. Love a collarless shirt. Still working on the little things. The “maybe I’ll need this one day” thing. Trying to go by the minimalists 20/20 rule.
Keep working at it Kandace. Remember your journey is always going to be unique to you. So stay true to you! Keep growing, I’m excited for you! And thank you! I definitely like this shirt a lot also!
I keep a bag in the closet just for things I plan to put in a donation box. To prevent regrets, I wait at least one month before getting rid of everything.
This is a great video as well as being very healthy for me. I am decluttering my life and it feels so good. I feel like I can breathe and have some clarity for myself . This video is full of positive information and I really didnt know I do not need all this stuff. People as well as stuff is so unimportant right now. Me and JESUS are doing go GOOD.

Are you letting go of everything that you don’t need to hold on to? If not.. what’s preventing you from doing so?
Ronald L. Banks fear of failure.
Failure of what Kandace? Are you afraid you may let go of something you actually still need? Or letting go of the wrong things..

Get a divorce. Move onto a shelter. Less is more. Start afresh. Feelings are more impirtant than things. I wish

You're truly wonderful, Ron. Such a blessing to us all!

I think i need to keep hitting reply. I def would give mire than ok ne thumbs up. Thank you. I do feel anxious and renewed when the house gets a good cleaning. I have started my minimalism journey. This will help with this plateau Im stuck at.
I’m really happy that you found this video helpful and it’s pushing you on your journey. Keep growing!
You got me on the final/5th tip!
I looked up and seen that I had things because I got them from love ones not knowing that when I die my sons will have to throw it all away. I’m selling it now as we speak on let go.
Great points man!!!!! True, it's like you're more open to clarity. What a feeling.....💖💖💖💖💖💖

Another good one!! It is so hard to let go of clutter that it is not physical clutter. I know I need to but man it is hard. LOL
This is so true. Every time another time leaves my house, I save time cleaning it. Lol. Little by little, I’m getting there. Do you have a video on a capsule wardrobe? I’m not exactly sure what it is, but I like a lot of color and I’m not sure it would work for me. Excellent video!
Yes i am enjoying each and every video

Great video. Love a collarless shirt. Still working on the little things. The “maybe I’ll need this one day” thing. Trying to go by the minimalists 20/20 rule.
Keep working at it Kandace. Remember your journey is always going to be unique to you. So stay true to you! Keep growing, I’m excited for you!
And thank you! I definitely like this shirt a lot also!
I keep a bag in the closet just for things I plan to put in a donation box. To prevent regrets, I wait at least one month before getting rid of everything.
This is a great video as well as being very healthy for me. I am decluttering my life and it feels so good. I feel like I can breathe and have some clarity for myself . This video is full of positive information and I really didnt know I do not need all this stuff. People as well as stuff is so unimportant right now. Me and JESUS are doing go GOOD.
Your advice about minimalist lifestyle is really important thanks I'm really making progress on this lifestyle change in simple living
Eric Ream keep growing on your journey! I’m excited for you!
