I haven't purchased any clothes or shoes in over 10 years. For Christmas and birthdays, I ask for those 😂 I use credit cards for all purchases made even if its $2. At the end of the year, my points cover all of my gifts to my family. Life is great when you are a minimalist.
@@jasssohi5641get more aware to what you have. Sometimes when you see how much you already have and that you have everything you need, you have a smaller desire to buy more. Then, move from your closet everything you don't wear anymore, put it in storage somewhere if you are not sure you want to get rid of.
@@jasssohi5641you should invest in good quality clothes or look to thrift store finds of nice clothes if that’s something you would be ok with but they would last longer and therefore you wouldn’t have to worry about that part which would help with not buying more clothes or shopping in that section for yourself.
9. You have more money. 10. You don't follow fashion trends because your closet is full of durable classics. 11. You spend more time thinking and creating rather than watching and being entertained. (Baking/going on a hike over restaurant/Netflix.) 12. You no longer worry what others think.
I'm on a slow-ish minimalism journey for about 7 years. I don't have a donation box per se. I have boxes of things I sell and things I'd be happy to give friends and family as presents instead. The reason it's a slow journey is mainly because I'm trying to use up the things I have and paid money for. Unless it's something that affects me or it's expired, I won't throw it away for the sake of space. The space has been acquired with time. There's a huge noticeable difference with my home now vs 7 years ago so I know I'm on the right path!
That's really awesome!!!! Yes, I'm doing this slowly...don't know if I will call myself a minimalist, but I'm definitely downsizing, go ing away things to people who can use the items etc...or using up the time etc.
I’m mostly the same way! I’ve had stints of just tossing things prematurely due to overwhelm and impulse. But mostly, it’s been pulling the brakes on the traffic of new things into my household as well as using up and donating things that genuinely don’t fit me or I’m not using at all and never will. I’m on year 4 of this journey.
The more minimalist I become, the more grateful and joyful I am. Jesus is all that matters and I am so thankful He holds the future and not our world leaders.
I've noticed that my oldest clothes in my collection come from one brand. They aren't cheap to the point where it can easily be hoarded, but they aren't expensive to the point where I would be upset paying full price. I also struggle with sizing and have learned my lesson in the past with ordering online so I only buy clothes if I'm able to try it on in person. It usually discourages me from buying the item because it does not look the way I expected :')
if I go shopping I take pictures of items I like so I have it on my phone in a folder in a few weeks time I end up deleting the picture cause I’m like I don’t need that or why did I want that I would never use it. This has helped me save so much money and consuming less junk and if I continue to still want it I keep my eye out for a similar item on Vinted or in a thrift store. I used to walk into a shop and would end up walking out with a couple items even that I never ended up using it was just cause it was on a pretty display but I can proudly say I can walk around a shop and not buy a single thing. I been so much happier and more content with the items I already own and I treasure what I own more then I ever have now where before it would just get left in a draw or a pile never to be touched or worn cause it had no value to me.
Fantastic information here. I read a similar book that drastically changed my point of view. "A Life Unplugged: Reclaiming Reality in a Digital Age" by Theodore Blaze
I am all these things except for number 4. I still very much feel like I don’t have anything to wear. But, I just wear the same things every week because they are comfy and I stay home a lot anyways (WFH and homebody).
A wishlist has been so practical for me, especially on Amazon. I will add things to the wishlist, and then end up removing them later because I found something better or different. But sometimes, I’ll just keep removing and replacing and won’t ever buy anything. This has saved me so much $$$
love this video, wish it was a little slower so you time to process each point and how it affects you - maybe 2-3 sec longer on each point, but love that I already have a declutter box.
Omg I’m almost there that’s crazy I didn’t realize it I think I’m there mentally but I still have to purge it’s all hiding in my garage and closets 🧐😬🤭

That is great! My goals is to not buy any clothing until 2025. Any suggestions?

I threw out three pairs of shoes this yr from 2003/6 and 2011 - bought a new pair...
Now there is nothing left over to minimalise anymore

I love this life, after 3 moves overseas and back I'd rather have less stuff. It holds you back.
I did this so often... about 14 times moving cross continents in 20yrs... each has 4 suitcases, a cabin and we habe 2 trunks...
It's the light and carefree feeling for me❤

Amen!
Amen 🙏🏻
Yes 👍✋ Amen!
I love this! I definitely have a declutter box and wishlist system. Your channel has definitely helped me a lot ❤️
The declutter box in my home is next to all the clutter lol
Perfect place for it 😁
the last decade I only bought new stuff when the old was broken. I always USED sales to get what's on my wishlist cheaper 😇👑💰
Still not a minimalist but do all of these things and it's a complete change to being better at anti-consumerism. Especially while living in the US.

so TRUE... and I must admit I am becoming minimalist... and I so love it
Or. You have a very tight budget and have to be responsible lol
The music Isa nice touch to this video. It feels light
Yes , I have declutter box also 😊
Damn... on my way but not quite there yet... gonna rewatch this in 4 months :3
The print is small on phones, hard to read
Friendly reminder, Minimalism can look different for everyone. Baby steps ❤
I'm curious: what kind of wishlist system do you use? :)
Don't worry Sophie you don't need to follow trend...
i like your long vidoes

I decluttered so much after I moved, I don't have much to get rid of anymore, so yeah I'm a minimalist.
Wow I this actually put a lot in to perspective! I really am a minimalist. 😌
You don’t even go into Homegoods or TJ Maxx. 😹
These are the signs of maturity, not of minimalist :)))
Im trying baby steps😂😂

To be a minimalist and simplist are dreams come true to me. Please guide me to my journey.
Im super #7 & almost reaching #8🤗

Shouldn't minimalism be equated with not even expressing your minimalist mindset. Sorry, if I sound condescending but just a thought.
You find a new breath each day that you live with less and you find joy in maintaining a minimal lifestyle....
