The new PlayStation you swore you couldn’t live without. The heap of clothes in your wardrobe that you said you might have a need to wear again someday. We hoard so much stuff and convince ourselves that we need it all. But when our eyes glow red and the fire truck blares its sirens in the distance, none of that seems to matter. Why then do we cling on to these things so much?

As a minimalist, I feel like less stuff gives me more time for myself. The less I have to worry about my possessions, the more I can care about my personality and passion. I am happy that this topic gets more attention right now, but I don't like that it is being used as a marketing strategy by people just to get more money or that people see it as a trend. A style of clothing that will get changed after two years. It doesnt reflect the core values of Minimalism.
Freedom of mind also doesn't it?
I lived in 3 countries and 4 cities loved the freedom
Years is a understatement do you even know how much clothes get thrown away after every trend rather than being recycled .you can find the in the oceans would you pick it up or ignore it .*minimalist*

@@andyc9902 you love freedom because you have only seen freedom
not the struggle needed to get it.
@@akashraj5701 I took life choices so that I don't face any struggles
Can't remember if it was Miyamoto Musashi who said it, but Lao Tzu have said something similar:
"'Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are.When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.'
I love that quote. And thank you for this video,
I began my minimalism journey last year. I've bought nothing and sold or donated a lot of my possessions. It got to the point where I've almost regretted certain sentimental things I've sold, only to not regret it months later as I realized I wasn't using it or caring about it anyway. It's a tough change, it's definitely a process and requires time and patience. Minimalism is not changing what you have into these clean looking products, it's getting rid of everything you don't need. I'm glad the video points that out, albeit, only at the very end. The issue is in the mind, it is convincing yourself you don't need this and that. Everyone comes up with a reason to keep something.
Thank you for talking about your journey with minimalism and the conclusions you came to from the experience.
I kept all my outfits in 2 trolly bags now. I'm more than happy
I love how this video explains the benefits of minimalism. Be free, be happy and be healthy. Enjoy what really matters!

Yep, you choose what matters to you, not what the marketing strategists make you believe that should matter to you. Take back your control with your life, be original.

Minimalism= less is more
Minimalism in reality= throw out old, buy new cool looking Minimalistic stuff, neutral colors everywhere!
Im a minimalist, i reuse old things that are useful, i threw out things that weren't, i dont spend money on new things unless it a necessity. I use my freedom to do the things I love. My suggestion is to live like you're homeless even though you arent! You essentially carry what you need even if those things are sitting in your home. Buy things that are robust and last for a long time, and spend your free time(and extra money) with family, friends and nature. You will thank yourself I promise!
facts
Exactly. Im 40 years old and live in the center of beautiful Heidelberg Germany. I inhabit a flat with 2 students, to save money. I can walk to work (ICU nurse), but I have an old used bike for less then 200 bucks. I don't need to travel. Heidelberg is paradise. No car, no kids. I only work part time so I have enough money for my hobbies: Bouldering, Running, Gaming on Sony PlayStation and Nintendo Switch (when our house burns down, I can't lose those games, I own them in the cloud). Life is beautiful nowadays, why would I waste it at work. I only buy cloths when I really need them, mostly cheap.
You can eat healthy for 5 bucks a day (coffee included). I consider whole grain pasta to be healthy, but you should have them split up in to maximum 2 meals a day, and with a good amount of healthy plant seed oils (I prefer olive). Other than that I eat nuts and vegetables. Only drink water, coffee, and tea without milk or sugar. If you're vegan have your vit.B12 and a good source of omega-3 fatty acids (like algae oil), maybe vit.D if you're a nightshift worker or not out in the sun much, and you're good. I'm 40 years old, athletic, everyone thinks I'm much younger. Take good care of your bodies folks and enjoy life 💟
I haven't watched your videos in a long time and now that I am back, I love the way you edit everything by just using stock videos and still make it feel natural i love the deep topics you choose and your narration and voice just sells the video, i wish you the very best my friend and keep up the good work

Thank you for your kind words and support, it is very appreciated.
Physical Life without material thurst, mind full of wisdom, I love this life.
Great video. With minimum wage, I have no choice but to be minimalist 🤣
Fr tho
😅
it give good practice if your wage raise, then your used to eat beans and drink water, with a no-screen-phone 5$ month subscribtion
but people prefer spending 100 000$ on their cellphone and redbulls cigarette animal corpse per life, and work overtime to not be at their luxurious house, then only clean the house when they are in it. and dream on cellphone aobut what they dont ahve time money and focus to achieve or get
🤣🤣Lmao
Forced minimalism baby. The new American dream
For me minimalism is not about having less things, but its about self consciousness, about what we need and use more logical decision when buying things. Not just driven by emotional state let alone decision that comes from others perspective
I think Maximalism was one of the BEST marketing ploys to get people to keep buying things. Not only that but MORE things. Maximalism houses are borderline hoarder levels of stuff. Companies seen a trend that wouldn't benefit them and went "hey look at this instead it's not boring and drap and doesn't make you feel like you are living in poverty". It seems to have worked.
Your version of Minimalism is an accurate one to me. Thanks for sharing it with us all.
When watching your video, I am reminded of the quote accredited to Will Rogers that goes: "We buy things we don't need with money we don't have to impress people we don't like."
This is my version of that quote: "We spend our lives buying things we cannot afford to impress people we don't know, for people who don't even care."
These acts are stimulated by the fear of missing out, fear of what people we don't know will say about us, fear of an ordinary life. Minimalism is a Stoic approach to owning possessions, detaching value of the individual from the value of the things they own, understanding that these are two separate things, and that the lesser we are attached to our possessions, the more we see and focus on improving our value as an individual. But for most people, it's just easier to judge a book by its cover.
@@daryldraws8083 Well said. I totally agree with you.
I love this. I’m 26 & been living this way for years. I’m always giving stuff away because I’m not attached to anything materialistic. You can’t take anything with you when we leave from this earth, except for the memories and experiences. ❤
Even the memories and experiences will disappear, because they're stored in your brain.
@@magnesiafrost1863 very true!! 😆
Thank you for sharing your story.
@@MotherGaiadence But I agree, nice memories & experiences are more important.
Do you remember the third phone you owned? I don't.
But I do remember the one time and last time I played video games with my dad and probably will never forget.
We come into this world with nothing and we leave this world bringing nothing!
My mom introduced me minimalism. It's the least she could do.
the pursit of less is actually called (قناعت) or contentment in english in islam.. Contentment is an emotional state of satisfaction that can be seen as a mental state drawn from being at ease in one's situation, body and mind. Colloquially speaking, contentment could be a state of having accepted one's situation and is a milder and more tentative form of happiness
Or we said qona'ah, which means always feels enough
I always tell people to seek peace rather than happiness, because if you can feel content in your everyday situation, then you don't need to chase happiness, it just grows from your mind
I moved towards it many years ago. I hate owning anything more than I have time for. If I don’t use it regularly I get rid of it. I keep as little possible of a wardrobe I can. Keep my kitchen simple and limited to a few utensils and pots and pans. I don’t care for decorative pieces and I don’t celebrate holidays as I believe they only promote consumption. I tell people not to give me gifts because I don’t want them to burden me with something physical not of my choosing. Therefore I do not give them either because I appreciate the possibility of negative impact. I have no sentimental attachment to things anymore and I don’t allow nostalgia to make me keep things. If someone gives me so much as a card, I will appreciate it, and then most certainly throw it away. I am not keeping an inventory of keepsakes I didn’t ask for. I have a high functioning mind with good memory I don’t need keepsakes. All of these things free up finances to allow you to channel them towards things you are truly passionate about. Many people try to have their hands in too much today, and master nothing. I am happier by choosing a few things I love to do with my time, and focusing all my efforts towards that. I don’t have a Bentley and a mansion but I have some nice roller skates and some camping gear that bring me joy. They keep me healthier than a Bentley and mansion would too. Health is wealth imo and for me minimalism promotes it. If everything I owned went up in flames tomorrow, it would be an inconvenience, but not the emotional loss many would suffer.
Isn't this somehow tied into the surging popularity of van life living? I would think it is. And at 42 years old I am still envious of it. I understand it's not practical having kids and trying to raise a family but at the same time I see it as my true happiness.
You almost have to be a minimalist to live in a vehicle, at least in the physical. I chose van live because it called to me for its freedom and because I really don't need much space to live.
i hate how minimalism is now associated with living in a completely empty and white space that looks like a hospital, it should be just about only having things you need, not a visual aesthetic, if you're reforming your house to be more minimalistic you're missing the point
love this guy

This is exactly what this year has been about for me is Letting Go, as I have let go of my Playstation 3, all of the games and PS2 plus all of the games. People look at me like I'm crazy because I have gotten rid of a lot of my clothes, my books, and to even get rid of toxic relationships eases a lot of weight off of your shoulders. Suffering is all that comes along with hoarding. The American dream seems to be the accumulation of material things, but my dream is to be able to pack all of my belongings into a single duffle bag or book bag and be able to go along as I please. Seems like quite a freeing life!
I was introduced to minimalism and anti-consumerism from a book called The Gospel according to Larry back in middle school. Although I am not a minimalist, think it really helped me view material goods more as a tool and less as wants growing up. My partner is 100% a minimalist, every purchase is a commitment to them, always bought with intention. When we started dating in college, all their belongings fit in half a checked bag. Blew my mind.
I absolutely love your channel, been a subscriber for a long time but it's sad for me to see that you are not getting the views you deserve. I hope you all the very best in the future and may you become hugely popular once again
uuuh.... 3M views a month is absolutely outstanding for this type of content. Don't be sad.....
Thank you, I appreciate your support and kind words. Glad you are enjoying the various topics that are being tackled. What would you say is your favourite out of all the videos that were made?
@@ApertureThinking there are two actually, the first one being "theory of everything", which was absolutely well made it made me remember my love for physics again. The second one is the "this video is about your mom...." I like the way you made such topic into something very interesting and made me find my fav quote "i have done thy mother" - Shakespeare
@@groob33 It deserves way more than that, the quality of the videos, the research and time spent in making every video is, in my opinion, valued a lot more than that
the fire analogy is really eye-opening

I started watching your videos two days ago and now everytime i open yt , i straightaway jump here. I love the way you create your videos, the way you leave so much impact with such simple lines that leave us questioning ourselves is just wonderful. I hope you read this comment, i wish the best for you, just please never change your content because I guess this is who you are.
at the end of the day, minimalism is just to seek and pursue joy and happiness as well, just in a longer timespan, but is the same, that search of a thing that haunts every human and they don't even realize
I say go through everything you have, if you haven't used it for one year, chances are you don't need it. I encouraged my wife to get rid of most of the decorations, at first she was not happy, now he likes it
Can’t lie, when thinking about what I would do if my house burned down my first worry was all of my school stuff: notes, diagrams, flash cards, sketchbooks, coursework pieces etc.
Less is indeed more . I save 50% of my income and live a normal life below my means. Never had an iphone. I'm happy. Never compared my life with others
I’ve been to the one at 4:14. It’s called the chinati foundation and is located in west Texas. About an hour south of the McDonald observatory. And the room with hundreds of metal boxes blew my mind. Hundreds of them sit here in these old military hangers. And non of them are identical. Each one different. It was surreal to be walking between them. The museum also has some other unique art. They specifically live playing with light and how it interacts with the environment.
If you haven’t been. I definitely recommend it.
Okay, I had this exact thought as you pointed later in the video --- Having clean looking, premium stuff is what makes us a minimalist. I truly admire the way you have put the core values of minimalism witch such an eloquence. Thank you!
I never really thought about it but after watching this video I realized I’m actually a minimalist, though I place things in my room like maximalism with things I already own for a long time and use daily. I buy clothes when my years old ones are already torn down, same as all the stuffs I own. Minimalism isn’t really about looking sleek and aesthetic, it’s owning less for real. And it’s been 5 years since I bought any clothing etc brand new, always get second hand and it feels nice!
Minimalism is simply questioning what "enough" really means for you and how everything you own affects your overall quality of life - because, in fact, they do! And it's realizing that QUANTITY doesn't equal QUALITY, you choose which one you value more. It shouldn't really be seen as an aesthetic lifestyle, it should be just a guiding principle, a value we can practice in our lives. I also can appreciate that it has become a trend in the popular culture, but it's just another visuals trend, I also know it will just come and go like all trends do, it will get replaced once we've had enough of it. But minimalism as a principle/value is a life strategy you can practice that will never go out of style.
The thing with minimalism being turned into another commodity struck such a cord with me. I was one of those guys who had been watching more and more of those 'minimalist setups' on RUclips and while at the start, I did feel something was wrong about the way they connected their videos to 'minimalism', I too was soon sucked into the rabbit hole of aesthetically pleasing content meant to grab you in it's hold stronger and stronger the more you watch it. It had become like a porn addiction to me; I couldn't enjoy something without those aesthetically pleasing bland looks. I made unnecessary purchases, unnatural modifications to my things just to make it look more 'minimalist'. This video was an eye opener. Minimalism is not what the RUclipsrs and corporates try to sell you. It is something only you can embrace for yourself. Sure, those videos will still be aesthetically pleasing, and i will still be drawn to watch them, but they will no longer appeal to me as they did before. I will know that true minimalism is making perfect use of what you have, without getting more if you don't need it.
minimal explanation of minimalizm and to the point. loved it!

Based on my own experience, clutter and unnecessary visual noise at home has triggered some level of OCD since I find myself sometimes trying to put order and “control” the spaces that I know I have control of. It’s a nightmare for the brain because I want to be productive and feel at peace in a space, but can’t let go of the items creating the anxiety in first place. Or let go of the impulses to stop thinking about it. This internal conflict in my mind has a profound effect on my creativity and “taking action on what matters”, mostly because I waste valuable time and energy trying to “reduce the chaos” and other trivialities.
be free, be happy and healthy......

thank you for giving me a existential crisis
You really focused on the core philosophy of Minimalism. But in today's time, minimalism has turned into just an aesthetic instead of philosophy. As a minimalist, thank you for making this video where you focused on the root cause of this minimalism phenomena nowadays.
My minimalist interpretation is to maximize the value found in life by minimizing the distractions.
Once when I have no personal income source I never believe when I read "you will be happier if you spend money on experience than material stuff" seeing it as a justification for people love of travelling. But now that I able to earn and spend money as I see fit, I actually feel worse than when I unable to. I simply lose interest in something so fast it feels ridiculous. So I intend to adopt this mindset(?) and see if it actually works for me.
once woke up to the smell of smoke. as soon as i got up to make sure everything was okay, the fire alarms started going off. the first thing i grabbed was my phone and charger. i thinks that’s sad…but i mean it was a false alarm so-
Its quite amazing to see the people from the world, from different corners of earth are having their ideas shared and each of them having different and complex lives as you have. (The comment is off the topic :))
As long as We seek (and Pursue) Happiness through External entities (persons, events, things, experiences) , we cannot be "minimalists".
It's extremely hard to be minimalists in this Max Max world, but it is a good beginning even if we become aware and attempt to take that path.
Two minutes into the video and my fire alarm started going off. Mild Panic attack.
My father learned a valuable lesson today. Apparently, there is such a thing as too much bacon.
I’ll be minimalist all day. Because I can have less so I can have more and get out of minimalism.
Because at the end of the day, as you live, you create values, you have to spend it somewhere. Whether you want to buy dopamine by giving it to other, or support your local business by buying products, you spend it
Wow wow wow. I love this latest post. A Treasure of Perspective that merits serious consideration. I will review this post several times to make sure I get it clear in my " senior " brain. 🤩
If you can train yourself to be happy with very little, losing everything won't be as hard.
Let go of all attachments and ease your suffering. None of this stuff lasts forever anyway, I just want to hang on to my mind. Minimalism is definitely the way to go and I plan on being able to move freely in my life.
Every passover (pesach) we clean the house thoroughly and get rid of clutter in our homes, but this passover (almost a year ago) I just didn't stop. Every Saturday I look in my dresser (that is acting as a closet) and little cabinet and think what I can throw away or give to my siblings. The starting point- there's no room at any drawer to add something new (sometimes I couldn't even close them!), no room to add to the cabinet, no room to store anything under my bed. Now: half of the drawers are empty, there's nothing under my bed, in the cabinet there are only shoes now. I'm at the middle of my journey. It's getting harder now because I have to look now at my art supplies. But I'll get there.
Wow 🤩wow 😍 woW 😲
Thank you magical soul for sharing your magic with the world. The topic is properly explained 👍🙂. Have a Blessed time back there.

First thumbnail and title were good, but you changing them to this.. genius xD
Minimalism is easy.
Most people can't afford much anyway.
Also, it's extremely simple once you are on your own.
The moment you have a family, partner, children and relationships, business connections and else... Suddenly, your focus is smart investment - You need to have items that ease your burden to have more time for everything.
Say what you will, but certain products give ease of life.
People that buy for the sake of buying, more do it for the sake of saying they did it, showing off and trying to get credibility as being wealthy.
People that buy to ease their burdens, invest their earned value back into themselves and what matters to them.
Life is a time management game for the most of it.
The more you have at stakes, the better you learn the game.
A simple minimalist might miss allot of key concepts by just not needing to manage enough for it to get challenging.
That is what it says in the "about" section of my channel! I've given everything away and trusted our Creator to take care of me ever since! Stay strong 💪 Mighty Warriors 🤠💪🙏
I'm not a minimalist, but since the last 3 years my family hasn't had enough money to randomly buy new worthless junk to make us happy, I don't understand that short term happiness from it and I'm kind of glad I don't. I hope it stays with me as an adult so that I'll be really thinking before I buy something, about if I really want/need it. I feel like it'll save me some money and I'll be less wasteful :)
I’ve always been a minimalist. In a way. Except clothing, which I spend some money on and take good care of
minimalist design is not the same as minimalism , get it 👍🏻
I'm neither a minimalist nor maximalist, I just want to create a pleasing space with whatever necessary that's easy enough to clean once in a while lol
Do one on the journey of DN and the philosophy, its a very unknown topic but i feel it would be perfect
Before getting/buying something I think of three things:
1) Does it help me save time/get more out of my day? (example: air fryer saves me tons of time that would have otherwise been spent cooking)
2) Does it benefit my health? (example: an air purifier vastly improved my health)
3) Does it help me save money? (mattress and pillow protects ensure your mattress and pillows last ages)
If it's either of the above, i get/buy it.
Marie Kondo is not a minimalist. She's just a tidying expert.
Your exposition is masterful; similar to a book that was masterful in its subject matter. "The Joy of Less: A Minimalist Living Guide" by Matthew Cove
I love having things.I really like having cool stuff and let my belongings become a part of my identity and I think that your surroundings really play a big part on your identity and overall happiness. So for a minimalistic person, this minimalistic lifestyle is probably preferred and can make you more happy, however for me ive always been into a mess of items and belongings, something like the 11th doctors tardis and the weasleys house from Harry Potter. I love the creativity and Wonder of having a ton of cool, sometimes almost magical items in my life, as it skapes my surroundings and my life. With that being said I know that materialistic happiness can only take you so far, but to say materialistic things cant bring you happiness is something i strongly disagree with. I understand that we live in a world where we Are selfishly consuming however, so I try to not be to materialistic that way. Also, I understand the concept of the minimalistic lifestyle and I think that it’s a really Nice concept that doesnt work for everyone in terms of happiness. But I really respect all you minimalistic people out there and I think you should do what ever makes you happy.
(Forgot this at the end)
:)
Minimalism is a journey not just a lifestyle.
This youtube channel is going to end up in a digital conservatory hundreds of years from now.
Fair enough, BUT..
I think there’s a difference between liking things and liking the newness and/or status that comes with the things.
Personally, I get very attached to objects. Yeah, I am autistic and that is probably at least partially why. It feels like a personal relationship to me, much like children with their stuffed animals. I don’t buy or keep things for status or to “keep up,” though my brother does. Clutter and COLOUR makes me really happy. I make things constantly! Everything sparks joy for me! In the fire scenario, I would panic. I would try to grab as many things as possible, risking my life. I’ve had nightmares about this exact scenario throughout my childhood.
Not saying my way is the best, or even the healthiest. But it’s fundamentally me.
I just found it interesting to put my personal perspective out there too.
...ditto
That's it, I'm throwing away my school books. They don't spark joy 😌
Life is too short for bs. My rule of thumb is if I can't be a week without something, it's a clear sign to me that I need to get rid of it. Jesus said 2000 years ago "do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth... For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also". I find that wise. Consuming becomes unhealthy at the moment your heart belongs to what you consume, for then you are the one being consumed.
this one sparks joy
As amazing as always
Wow I didn't knew that minimalism is a school of thought and a wide perspective. I thought it's just a design or something
I love the video, but I found it funny during the part he was talking about minimalism and not being a consumer, it showed a lady in an empty house opening up a cabinet just completely loaded with liquor bottles.😀
Oh the irony of stock videos...
But on the note of minimalism and consumerism, I have a lot of stuff but I don't collect it for clout... I collect things like records, which gain in value. For my own Joy ...so in other words one does not have to go minimalist just collect the right things. And buy them used. I never go shopping for new stuff
My walls and my shelves are covered with Trinkets and cool stuff that I like and that represent me. It's comfortable
I like my own kind of minimalism.
"money can't buy happiness, Jelly talking truthful... But I'm happiest when I can buy what I want, get high when I want..."
Thanks and waiting for more amazing videos
I’ve never understood hanging onto things you don’t use and definitely won’t use. All my clothes fit in one drawer. Twin bed, 1 TV and PlayStation, 1 pair of work shoes and 1 pair of casual shoes. That’s literally everything I own. No car, no phone, nothing that I don’t use on a daily basis.
You are definitely right regarding the material things but, the society 🌍 is more judgmental as ever and seems that even chances of survival, for many individuals, are reduced if not being in the trend 😀😀😀 chances to get a recommendation, to get a good job, to get a nice business, etc
We been thinking of moving to a new place and with that I thought of getting rid of many stuff we don't really use or need. Especially clothes. I do have clothes i thought I'd wear again if "i loose weight".. but let's face it, it's never gonna happen. I have to let it go. XD our closet have more clothes we don't wear than those we do wear. I realized how stupid that is now.
What you own ends up owning you

Well explained. Also loved the references from different religions. Also if you take a look at real Muslim's rule of living(life of Mohammad(PBUH), it also aligns with your explanation. Awesome stuff, as always!
This video screams "Fight Club" right in the ears. Even the opening is from the movie. 💀
Great idea

My question is If you wake up in a fire without a worry for anything or a feeling of loss, but how do you live if nothing in your life holds any real value to you, how can life be devoid of any value?
Minimalist enthusiast. On the path to less stuff. It’s liberating. Not taking anything with me.

I'm not afraid of losing a lot more now.

Please answer - what is the music in this video?
As a Minimalist, I feel that this sentence is enough.

Happiness gained with the help of external objects is created by delusional mind. When you buy a new car you are so satisfied and happy in the beginning. But later on by using the same car you gain less happiness. Even though the external object is same your happiness get lower over time. With this example you can conclude that the happiness is delusional and created by the mind and its not something received from the object. That's why the Buddha explained craving for external objects cause suffering. But external objects are useful. However, we must understand the delusion the mind creates to seek more and more external objects to make us happy. The initiative to minimalizing is an effect.. Realizing the reason for unsatisfying nature is the cause. If you understand this cause and effect you can purchase whatever useful without craving. It helps you to liberate from suffering up to a certain extent.

This is the way
Being a minimalist is undoubtedly good, but sticking to any of the ISM(a suffix) is dangerous, especially materialism(as an example). I'll be happy if anyone understands what i just said❤️drop a like if you are the one🤝

Less is better, this is not a controversial take, the less you buy the happier you are.
I don't think that's necessarily true, nor is that the point of minimalism (to me). The point of minimalism, to me, is to reduce material possessions so you can better appreciate both the material and non-material things you do have.
Simply having less is not the goal in and of itself (to me).
Bro I was vaping somewhere where you’re technically not allowed to vape so the smoke detector at the beginning gave me a heart attack lmao
