I'm so glad you're here today! I've been on quite a journey over the past three months and it's amazing what making these simple changes have made. Do you have any helpful thing you do to make you feel more peaceful? Any thoughts about the video? Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Being outside in fresh air helps me feel more at peace, being in the sunshine. Losing myself in a craft sometimes helps or reading. Or even taking a nap if I can
There are a lot of decluttering people here on RUclips but I agree with so many that have commented that you have a soothing voice. So glad that you popped up on my feed.
Hello! I just happened upon your channel. I subscribed immediately. When you said three weeks ago you were chaotic, that was exactly where I was. I am committed to taking this year slow. Starting my day with prayer and scripture is a must. Thank you for putting into words how I felt
I love the one bag at a time method. I don't have a lot of extra shopping bags, but I do get a lot of boxes delivered... 🤭 So I think what I'll do is if I get a box, I will refill it with things to declutter. Then it's easy to take to the donation or recycling center. 📦
That sounds like a great plan for you! You can really keep that going and get a lot done. I actually use those white kitchen trash can bags because I don’t have a lot of shopping bags either. I like that they have drawstrings on the top and aren’t too heavy for me to lift once I get them loaded up.
That sounds like a great plan for you. You’ll be able to keep that going and get a lot done. I actually use those white kitchen garbage can bags. I like that they have drawstrings on the top and are small enough that I can still lift them once I get them filled up. I don’t have a lot of regular shopping bags either.
Glad you’re here! I’m slowly working through my clutter. You’ll have to look through my videos because I have a few decluttering sessions you may enjoy. Each time I tackle one of the areas of my home that have been worrying me, it feels so good. It’s a process! 😀
A simple thing I do to calm myself is to look out the window. My apartment overlooks a beautiful park, but whatever the view, it gets you to cast your gaze outwards, noticing what you see right now. I especially love the sky.
Your content is useful and thought provoking and the big difference that I really appreciate (from other very good organizing type channels) is your lovely soft unrushed voice and your very clever pacing with the music. Genius! I feel relaxed listening to you and have a moment to reflect in between your gems of wisdom ❤ thank you 🙏🏻
Oh, this is so nice to hear! I’ve been trying a variety of formats and am finding that the mix is working as long as I talk more. I’m glad you enjoy listening to me. I used to feel kind of embarrassed to talk much, so this is encouraging.
Just subscribed to your channel last week, and I love your videos. I watch several minimalist channels to help me declutter, but I'm pretty sure I don't want to be a minimalist. Your calm voice and your common-sense approach are just what I need. Bless you and thank you!
Hi Kim! So glad to meet you! I'm glad you are here and enjoying the videos. I've recently made a change in how I do things, so it's encouraging to know that you're enjoying them. Hope to see you soon!
i was having a problem with brain fog, and i realized with holidays i was consuming a lot of carbs. i got back to taking chromium that helps stop craving. and was able to cut the sugar, wheat, high starch veges, and brain fog is gone. i'm much more productive. this week.
I know what you mean. I was doing much better and the holidays got me back into candy, which isn't good for me. I'll have to look into chromium. Thanks for the tip!
Oh my... I so relate to that. I learned this "rolling up" method from a couple of RUclipsrs, but I'm not very good at it yet. But at least i'm not crawling up inside it trying to get the corners in there. It still takes me quite a long time to do.
I love to potter about the house. Sometimes go for a walk. It depends how I feel on the day. I only watch RUclips and have WhatsApp. No other social media. I love my friends, swimming and reading, but not all at the same time! We don’t watch tv very much. Our plan is to travel again which could mean go out for the day or a weekend break. Lately, as I have close family members going through cancer treatment these things have become more important. We are very lucky that we have free bus travel in Scotland (for over 60’s), and cheaper train travel in our county so if we don’t want to drive we have lots of options. When I do feel anxious or overwhelmed I stop what I am doing and sit for a while. I’ve learnt to kind of just go with it until I feel better. That’s what helps me anyway! In the past I worried too much about what other people thought of me and maybe because of life experience I don’t worry as much. I decided to let my hair grow out about 4 or 5 years ago and it was the best thing. I wear it in a pixie cut and it is so easy to manage. I’m reading the book at the moment that you recommended. I have highlighted quite a few quotes from it. It’s not a long winded book and I am loving the little cartoons in it! This was a lovely relaxed video Rozanne. ❤
Hi Linda! Traveling sounds wonderful. We really haven't gone anywhere since before Covid. Once spring comes back, I'm going to go back to working on the trailer because we'd like to take it out this year. (Ran out of time this year.) Taking care of family does move things around a bit, right? One of the reasons we didn't go anywhere for around 5 years is because we didn't feel like we could leave Mom for long. Having free bus travel would be awesome! Gas is quite high year, although less than it has been. I'd love to be in a place where I could use public transport. I've dreamed of going on a trip with a sleeping car. My goal with my hair is to get it about shoulder length - all one length (simpler for me) with just a little bang. Just need to be patient. :-) See you next week!
HERE you are! 🤗🤗 Wonderful to see you! I've already stopped this vid twice to go write down, VERBATIM, a couple things you said, and I think I may crossstitch "monotask" on a pillow! Multitasking as a reason to hire us? Yes ma'am, me too! When I was a dispatcher/911 operator for the Los Angeles County Fire Department they called it "multifunctional dexterity"... same thing. Yeah I was good at it, I HAD to be, and after close to 30 years away from there it's still something I have a hard time letting go of. I have ADHD, so any tendency I had to do a million things at once was highly favored and built upon at that job. Oh... and an ambulance driver for 12 years before that!! No wonder I still struggle! Again, it's great to see you! I'm gonna go do something... ONE thing! Play with my papers, that's a happy place for me! Hugs, dear lady. See you next week. XOX, MK 🤗❤️🌵❤️🤗
Hi MK! I'm so glad to see you. Yeah, I made a huge change in my channel, which you can see. I decided to change the name so it is clear what I'm doing. I wondered if my friends would see what I've done, but I had to go with the inspiration. I'm glad that RUclips finally showed my video to you. You'll have to go back and see the last two videos which have the new content/style in them. Hope you like them! Monotasking has been big for me. I'm working HAARD at breaking the watching TV and checking the phone thing. That really messes my brain up. See you next week!
Hi sweetie! Your voice is so calming and your videos are so inspiring. When I get overwhelmed I work on my arts and crafts I love to paint landscape and seascape pictures. When I paint a seascape I can feel the ocean breeze and hear the waves crashing and hear the sea gulls. I love watching your beautiful videos sweet friend thank you so much for sharing them. Hope you have a wonderfully blessed weekend. 💖🤗💖
Thanks Beth! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Art and crafting is enjoying. I used to do a lot for the same reasons. I'm trying to get back in that and to do just small things around here - like puzzles and stuff. Wouldn't it be nice to go to the beach right now?
I feel very strongly as a writer and author that this video is art and should become a book. You effortlessly created concepts with meaning. Thank you!!
I am so touched by what you have said. I’m a writer, but it never occurred to me to put these things in a book. Maybe someday… Meanwhile, I’m so grateful to have this outlet for my thoughts. I truly appreciate your encouragement. It means a lot to me. Hope you have a wonderful week!
very nice video i agree with you no tv mnm no clutter no anxiety we have the holy spirit and the light of our trinity God and our soul is much more important we need less matterial more prayers and share love with our brothers and sisters ....greetings from Athens Greece 🥰😇
Hola. Love the bag method. Ur 10% app reminds me of a song that says, "I command my soul to bless the Lord." Even when we won't want to do things, we should still make the attempt. The news is way too depressing for me. I can't do it. I can't wait to see ur hair. I go to cognitive behavioral therapy as well. It really works. TFS Have a great week
Thanks Kym. The bag method is really changing things around here. I'm starting to see that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. One bag at a time is manageable. I've really gotten the same way with the news. I used to watch it often. I gave that up a while ago and it's relieving. Cognitive therapy is great. See you!
Hi, dear, thank you for sharing. I’m so interested in many things, like painting, cooking, reading, knitting, crocheting… so I suppose I’ll never be a minimalist, because all these activities need a lot of stuff. But stuff you cannot find or which piles up isn’t supporting… Flylady Marla Cilley let me start with routines, zones, decluttering, Marie Kondo let me know how to keep things making me happy and let go things I don’t like or don’t need and you… just do it, having and keeping a lot of books like me. Very calming. I love the suggestion with the colored points during the day, to be aware of my mindset. Greetings from Germany, Monika❣
Hi Monika! Flylady is such a helpful person. I loved Marie Kondo's Netflix series and her book. I should review them again. Hope you have a great week!
Oh Nancy... What a kind thing for you to say. It means so much to hear. I'm working really hard to try to make my videos more relaxing, enjoyable, and helpful to viewers. Your comment gives me hope.
I had just started that project and my husband had hung the racks. I wasn’t ready to finish it because I had a lot to do first. I finished the project in another video and explained what it was about. You can see it here: ruclips.net/video/Vho6HfVXenw/видео.htmlsi=j8OPuO3hZGylWIiW The video is the one where I am talking about whether things are actually clutter or not. Hope you enjoy it!
I have just found, and subscribed, to your channel. I like your 'energy'. One thing that may help. Putting a duvet into a cover can be such a pain. I found that if you put the two 'top' corners in, then go to your stair railing and let the rest of the duvet (and cover) dangle, then it all falls into place. I hope this helps. Thank you for making great videos.
I'm so glad you found me, especially since you have given me one of the most wonderful tips I've ever heard. What a bit problem solver it is. I'm definitely going to be trying it the next time I change it out. Thanks!
I just subscribed maybe a week ago. I have enjoyed the videos that I have seen so far. You have a calming way of speaking and I like that. I also like your floating shelves that had Christmas decor. Are those custom or did you buy them? If you bought them, may I ask where? Have a nice weekend!
I'm so glad you're here and that you're enjoying the videos. I love those shelves so much! I bought them on Amazon and a small business in Wyoming made them. They came with the sweetest cart from the owner and great directions and are very high quality. I bought two sets. Here's the link: amzn.to/3SqmEmi

Being outside in fresh air helps me feel more at peace, being in the sunshine. Losing myself in a craft sometimes helps or reading. Or even taking a nap if I can
I’m glad I found you at a zone near red 🔴… it’s calming to 'meet' (kind of) people who are on the same journey.

Hi Jodie. Welcome!! I'm so glad you're here. I does sound like we are on a similar time schedule. Yes. Scripture and prayers are absolutes!
I love the one bag at a time method. I don't have a lot of extra shopping bags, but I do get a lot of boxes delivered... 🤭 So I think what I'll do is if I get a box, I will refill it with things to declutter. Then it's easy to take to the donation or recycling center. 📦

You are so welcome, Susan. I'm glad it was helpful to you. Hope you're having a nice day.
WOWED by this video! I started watching for the decluttering, but I received so much more ❤. So much advice, yes very calming.
Thanks so much, Diane! I'm glad it was helpful you. It's wonderful to see you here.

I think it's important to make sure you are hydrated too.
So true! This is something I'm working on, but aren't there yet. Thanks for the reminder.
