You remind me of Rumi’s poetry a lot, Sophie. Here’s one of my favorite perhaps you’d like... This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes As an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture, still treat each guest honorably. He may be clearing you out for some new delight. The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing and invite them in. Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond. As always, a ton of 💜 to you!
This is what I needed to watch😊 so motivating and relaxing 💕 I just now loaded 3 big bags of clothes to be donated into my car and I must say I feel so light and free. Tomorrow is kitchen declutter day and I’m so excited to get started:) It is a great feeling. We not only save money but also time. Much love from your new subscriber💕
All my belongings can fit in 2 back packs, save for my camera and other gear. I’ve found so much joy on not owning so much and I plan to keep it that way. Being the drifter that I am, I don’t know where I may find myself in the future. Great video as always!
That is amazing you can fit everything in 2 backpacks! I'm sure it frees you up to move where ever you want and whenever you want. Thanks so much for watching Daniel :)
Im laughing right now Sophie because i was doing this yesterday in my kitchen. Ill tell you sometimes its hard your looking at something and think well i can use this for this or that when honestly you wont be doing anything with it you have to fight that mental block and just say let it go let someone else who may actually need it have it. I love that you sell and donate things i got rid of alot of kitchen stuff and also found out a battered womens shelter needed kitchen items thats like 5 minutes from my house! Called them up and said mask up im on my way! There is so many avenues that happen when you declutter our lives. Great video Sophie
Perfect timing! :) So cool that you also decluttered your kitchen. Kitchen is a big challenge for me because I can reason my way into keeping everything! I think it's so great that you called the women's shelter first. I used to work in a women's shelter and just remember how much the women appreciated all the donations we received. Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
Hi Sophie, so glad i came across your channel. You helped me stop and think about overabundance in my life. Please do a video about resisting FOMO. I think alot of people shop so much because they see others doing the same thing.
I agree Ana! such a great idea. I like to do this too every other month to deep clean and bring a different energy into my space :) thanks for your comment!
Hi Sophie, Would very much like to say how much I appreciate and enjoy your videos. Your voice is very calming and pleasant to listen to. The background music you choose blends in so well with your sweet gentle voice. I do not have too much to declutter. Purely as I have chosen to live in a nice studio apartment in Zurich. I did so originally as I have always enjoyed living small, simply and minimally. But not going short of anything in life. My clothes and other objects must be loved and used regularly or out they go. We have four very different seasons, requiring numerous different shoes and jackets But bearing this in mind, I only keep what is functional and used regularly. I use the one out rule first before something new comes in. But the articles need to be of the same category eg: a pair of trainers out and only then the new ones come in. This is a great way of not storing old things. Nor do I keep things with the idea of I may need this thing one day in the future. But living in Zurich means everything from good clothing, healthy unpackaged bio food is always on hand all year round. One does not even need a car, with the great public transport we have. All the best.
@@anashappydays Hi Ana, Are You a minimalist or planning to become one? When I started I just did it little by little bit. As Sophie said in this video - just start with one drawer. Once I decluttered most things I was not using, it lead to many other areas in my life. Like things we carry in our minds and our hearts. Toxic people, past mistakes and and and...... Slowly is the way to go and just take baby steps at a time. It is also not that you can declutter once and for all in life. Like if someone is horrible to you tomorrow, then just say to yourself it is their problem and not yours. Then just stop seeing that person. A partner, family member, neighbour or whoever. This all takes time. I am at a point in my life now where I feel very happy and peaceful. But maybe something that makes me unhappy say next week. Then I just say to that person what kind of hate are you carrying in your life from your past and do not think you are hurting me but only yourself. Then just walk away and then get them out of your life. Do not worry about having no friends. Go to a new group and perhaps you meet a nice person or people there. There is a lot of good in this world. Just be patient , think positive, declutter bit by bit. Only good can come from this. But I am 68 now and only became a minimalist about 5 years ago. Promise you, I have never looked back Ana. All the best.
I loved this comment so much! Thank you for sharing your tips and your way of life. It is inspiring to me. I particularly love the one out rule as well, as it helps me to not to accumulate too much in my home. It's very commendable that you are able to filter out only what is a functional and used regularly even in Switzerland with 4 seasons. In Hawaii, we only have one season, but my closet is still full of clothes that I don't wear. I recently fixed up a bike and have been biking everywhere (grocery store, cafe, park), and I have been enjoying it so much. Questioning if my husband and I really need 2 cars. Thank you so much and hope everything is well in Switzerland!
I'm learning something new from your each and every video , I'm feeling free and more confident . Now I believe that my future is looking more brighter than ever. Thank you 🙏💝👸
I gave my friend today 2 purses and couple of scarves which were only cluttering my space for years,happy me-happy her 😊 also I donated today bag with winter shoes and jackets which I don't wear long time...here is very cold so it's good that some ppl are not going to be cold again...very happy day for me xx
That is so awesome! I am actually gifting a lot of my stuff for Christmas this year too. I definitely don't want to pass on my "clutter" to others, but I'm choosing carefully what my friends and family would like :) I bet you feel amazing clearing your space
I like your 3 step approach and sorting method! You’re asking the right questions too! Gayle recently redid our kitchen drawers. She challenged me to put things back in the correct spot rather than piling some up on the counter. So far I’ve got a B- grade, but my goal is A ( no complaints!) 😅☺️😉😁
I completely agree that clutter in your space is related to clutter in your mind. My computer desktop is also another place that's got a lot of clutter and needs to be...purged. I feel it all the time as I'm trying to declutter while still progressing and doing other important activities. When decluttering I also think about, is it easy for me to buy another one if I end up needing it tomorrow. For thinks like old spices, or used kitchen appliances the answers is certainly yes. Great and peaceful video as always, you make the process of declutter look so easy and peaceful. FYI, my next video will go over my fruit sticker cardboard. Like -109
Oh my computer desk (and ]drawers) have been a complete mess ever since making youtube videos! haha I need to take a weekend to purge that area of my home as well! I also love that you think about how easy/difficult it would be to buy another one to replace it. I'll definitely be adding this one to my list of questions. I can't wait to see that fruit sticker cardboard Alex! I'll be looking out
decluttering type of , one of the ways to prevent the cluter in your home from returning is to find a home for all of your belongings knowing enjoying for being
Yay! So happy to hear that you will be doing it with me. I just spent the last 3 hours, finishing up my kitchen :) I think the end of the year is such a good time to declutter and reflect on the things we have accumulated.
@@MalamaLife Absolutely, and it definitely helps me to prepare to not collect and accumulate more next year for all the things I didn’t need this year.
I'm here because of Alex Peroff but I'm glad that he sent me! Decluttering and organizing a space is one of the most cathartic activities, and this is a great formula to follow in order to do so. The questions in Step 3 are so important, and I definitely have to remind myself and ask those more frequently when cleaning things up. I'm sure your kitchen looks great after this, but looking forward to more decluttering and minimalism videos in the future!
Thanks so much Ryan! I appreciate you watching 😊 appreciate alex for shouting me out. I am working on decluttering all aspects of my life so I have many more content coming your way! Thanks for supporting ❤
Removing unwanted things and making space for new is very much natural. Keep thing within reach which are commonly used. Sometimes people are sentimentally attached to something's which they cannot dispose. A comfortable home should be clean and well organized. Good idea. Nice video. If possible & ur comfortable start blogging on the natural beauty of the place u live and as ur close to nature and seem to be well conversant about herbs and leaves start cooking blogs specially on food which develop immunity. I hope u dont mind having suggestions for ur channel. God bless.
Thank you for your suggestions! yes I will try to film more of Maui and the beautiful nature of this island in future videos. Thanks for watching and commenting as always :)
I have those exact drawer knobs! I bought 25 for a dresser and nightstand and have three left over that I'm just hanging onto in case I repaint another set of drawers. Is that bad?
Oh im so excited to see your new kitchen 😁 my husband and I are in the process of moving so Im using that time to also declutter things we may not use, broken of have duplicates of. Are those cabinet door knobs? They are beautiful 😍
We got these cabinet door knobs from a flea market in Spain! I love it so much but we haven't put them to use for over a year. Maybe I can give them as a Christmas gift to a friend :) I will definitely do a kitchen update soon!
😌😌 Dear Sophie. Blessings. Your service is wonderful and make us realise our accumulations in abundance that hide the beauty of emptiness at home. And a suggestion: Your title words in between the videos are very small. If you don’t misunderstand me, please make it little visible at the same time not occupying the space. Lol. 😌😌
Hai Sophi...your video inspiring me to declutere my house...but my husband has so many memorial things that I can't declutere them...but with great effort I persuade him to support me tidying our house... How about your husband, isn't he always support you? Sorry ..my English isn't good Love from East Java...stay healty& happy❤️
Hi! thank you so much for your comment. I also ask my husband to clean and declutter with me. it's been my bonding time with him. I understand that sentimental items memorabilia can be difficult to declutter. I hope you guys can understand each other and find a common ground :)
I started decluttering by getting rid of plastic storage containers. I can taste the plastic in the food I store in it, and I asked myself, if I hate that about something i own, why keep it? My husband is also helping by saving glass jelly jars that we can use instead of buying new glass containers.
Beautiful soul and videos..your new subscriber ❤❤❤ Pls let me know which microphone 🎤 you are using ..it sounds so clear I'm looking to buy one soon for my videos pls help Much appreciated 🙏 ☺ 🙌
Why is it that all the kitchen countertops and table collect clutter? I swear my family is clutter-blind! They just don't see it. I'm working on this mindful decluttering process, but it's going to take awhile. Thanks for the suggestions.
Sean, I think you just discovered a new word: clutter-blind. haha I love it! Kitchen countertops and kitchen in general is such a challenge for me. I try my best to clear it after every meal so that it doesn't have a chance to accumulate. Hope you are having a great sunday
@@MalamaLife Hi Sophie! I can't take credit for clutter-blind, I'm sure I heard it on TV somewhere. I think it's a common condition though! Our kitchen clutter is part of my old house design. The side entry door that we all use goes right into the kitchen, so stuff just accumulates there. Maybe someday I'll get to remodel, for now I just need to keep after it. I had a pretty good day, I hope you have a great day too!
I like better decluttering and donating stuff in my home then shopping. I dread shopping of any kind. Specially now with covid going on I hate going inside stores.
I have to agree with you. Since the lockdown in February, I haven't felt the need or any desire to shop! decluttering and seeing my home clean and organized is way more fun
I am sharing home with my mom. I wanna go the minimalist way and planned couple of months ago to discard things that is not being use at all but my mom is such a- I don’t know 🤷🏻♀️ she doesn’t like to throw things because she said it can be use for some time. But me, as I’m the one cleaning the entire house really gets tired about those stuffs. I don’t know if this make sense but it became our argument every time I try to throw away things I know that is useless. Maybe because she owns the house but damn I’m the one cleaning and organizing though 🙄😫
Oh I'm sure that can be really frustrating when you are making strides towards an organized and minimalist home, but you don't see eye to eye with other family members. This is something that I struggle with because I am quite frugal so I don't want to throw things away, but at the same time, I want to throw away things that aren't being used now. I hope you and your mom can find a middle ground and negotiate while you live there!
@@MalamaLife ☺️ yes I hope we can organized things soon. Thank you Happy Holidays to you! I am watching your videos one by one it’s really helpful and calming. 😘😘😘
Help. This is coming from someone who is a habitual declutterer and minimalist (meaning I keep what I love and need only and stopped shopping after healing from the shopaholic disease). I usually declutter every 6 months, but the last 2 years, I did that more often. I am decluttering again today, and the clothes are so much harder than I thought. I have high quality items that I neither wear, nor do I feel excited about selling or giving away. I am struggling with the thought of how can I get rid of something valuable that will only increase in value over time. This is because my family has this habit of just throwing stuff away, that no way I can find anywhere now, and if I did, I wouldn't be able to afford it. Then again, these items don't really make me happy to look at. What is going on?

Which part of your home do you need to declutter the most? :)
Probably kitchen or garage.
closet space!!!
Kitchen
All of my home.
I am usually pretty good...but I am always go and revisit everything in my house...trying to keep what I really need, use or truly love ❤️
I'm over here decluttering while binge watching your videos its so soothing
Haha awww ❤ that's so sweet
@@MalamaLife I ended up selling my clothes and books. Thanks again!
You remind me of Rumi’s poetry a lot, Sophie. Here’s one of my favorite perhaps you’d like...
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
As an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
As always, a ton of 💜 to you!
Coincidence that you mention Rumi? He is one of my favorite poets :) loved this one as well. Thank you for sharing it with me

Isn't it such a great feeling? 😊 I am getting more joy out of decluttering than shopping. Thank you so much for supporting❤
I just decluttered our kitchen too! I love the idea of categorizing the items into, sell, donate and trash. 😊 Also, the duplicates and never used.
It is so satisfying after it's all done :) Thanks so much Dee!

Why is it that all the kitchen countertops and table collect clutter? I swear my family is clutter-blind! They just don't see it. I'm working on this mindful decluttering process, but it's going to take awhile. Thanks for the suggestions.
Sean, I think you just discovered a new word: clutter-blind. haha I love it! Kitchen countertops and kitchen in general is such a challenge for me. I try my best to clear it after every meal so that it doesn't have a chance to accumulate. Hope you are having a great sunday
@@MalamaLife Hi Sophie! I can't take credit for clutter-blind, I'm sure I heard it on TV somewhere. I think it's a common condition though! Our kitchen clutter is part of my old house design. The side entry door that we all use goes right into the kitchen, so stuff just accumulates there. Maybe someday I'll get to remodel, for now I just need to keep after it. I had a pretty good day, I hope you have a great day too!
I like better decluttering and donating stuff in my home then shopping. I dread shopping of any kind. Specially now with covid going on I hate going inside stores.
I have to agree with you. Since the lockdown in February, I haven't felt the need or any desire to shop! decluttering and seeing my home clean and organized is way more fun
Which artist is playing the background music please?
Time to start throwing stuff out! hahaha
Yes did this today haha
It didnt let me scroll trough it like normal. Constantly skipping to other then where I placed the handle.
Sorry to hear that! I wonder why 🤔
I am sharing home with my mom. I wanna go the minimalist way and planned couple of months ago to discard things that is not being use at all but my mom is such a- I don’t know 🤷🏻♀️ she doesn’t like to throw things because she said it can be use for some time. But me, as I’m the one cleaning the entire house really gets tired about those stuffs. I don’t know if this make sense but it became our argument every time I try to throw away things I know that is useless. Maybe because she owns the house but damn I’m the one cleaning and organizing though 🙄😫
Oh I'm sure that can be really frustrating when you are making strides towards an organized and minimalist home, but you don't see eye to eye with other family members. This is something that I struggle with because I am quite frugal so I don't want to throw things away, but at the same time, I want to throw away things that aren't being used now. I hope you and your mom can find a middle ground and negotiate while you live there!
@@MalamaLife ☺️ yes I hope we can organized things soon. Thank you Happy Holidays to you! I am watching your videos one by one it’s really helpful and calming. 😘😘😘
Help. This is coming from someone who is a habitual declutterer and minimalist (meaning I keep what I love and need only and stopped shopping after healing from the shopaholic disease). I usually declutter every 6 months, but the last 2 years, I did that more often. I am decluttering again today, and the clothes are so much harder than I thought. I have high quality items that I neither wear, nor do I feel excited about selling or giving away. I am struggling with the thought of how can I get rid of something valuable that will only increase in value over time. This is because my family has this habit of just throwing stuff away, that no way I can find anywhere now, and if I did, I wouldn't be able to afford it. Then again, these items don't really make me happy to look at. What is going on?
👌👌👌😘
