    ABOUT A TO ZEN LIFE
    Along my journey to let go of 30 years of clutter, I accidentally became a minimalist, and it was life-changing.
    Before, I was an emotional hoarder with nothing but the clutter from lost loved ones - and $25,000 of debt - to my name. Now I have a beautiful home in Europe, a happy family, live debt-free, and - best of all - wake up to a life that I’m EXCITED to live every day.
    My mission is to help you conquer your clutter and simplify YOUR way to a happier and better life. HERE'S OUR STORY: atozenlife.com...

      I'm gonna a be a cliche and say Nightmare Before Christmas, but I also enjoyed the new Marvel Disney+ release Werewolf By Midnight; I always love those classic black and white monster movies and this movie is a fun nod to that kinda style.

    Many years ago, I realized that, as I was approaching the end of my working career and the work environment had become much more casual, it was time to get rid of a lot of clothes. 10 full garbage bags later, I have one pair of black pants for just in case, no skirts, and a few dresses that I only wear in summer. I mostly now live in tops, jeans, flip-flops, and sneakers.

    Decluttering my closet all at once is too stressful and visually overwhelming. So for the month of November, once a day I shut my eyes and randomly pull out a hanger. Then I take my time with that item - feel the texture, enjoy (or not!) the color; maybe try it on. Give myself time to think about it and make a decision. Takes only a minute or two. It's slow but enjoyable and stress-free.

    "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" is my favorite Halloween movie. I am not comfortable with true horror films because my mental movie runs and reruns far too long after viewing a horror movie. Great tips to declutter a closet.

    If you love the jeans that much than you should definitely alter them. Also I love your minimalist closet and organized drawer and home. I appreciate when you show us each item you’re decluttering and why. Thanks.

    • @cynthiajohnston424
      @cynthiajohnston424 Год назад +2

      The jeans can be easily altered - suggest a small dart on each side slightly over fr. the middle . Jeans are expensive & a few minutes of sewing ( by you or a seamstress ) is worth it !

  • @garlicgalore
    @garlicgalore Год назад +15

    I think it's like any decluttering - I could not really imagine how different and what a happy place it is to have only clothes I enjoy wearing. I look forward now each time I can wash the things I've worn and get them back in the drawers and closet ready to put on again. It's crazy but true! Having enough rather than too much is a truly Happy Place and feels so nourishing!
    Oh, my favorite movie is also Coco - so beautiful visually and my daughters all resonate with the relationship between the generations.

  • @zeldasayre555
    @zeldasayre555 3 месяца назад +1

    such good tips! I"m going thru my clothes and culling anything I didn't wear last Spring/Summer. Even two dresses with the tags still on. I just don't wear dresses, that's my fantasy self. 99% of my days I'm home doing housework, cooking and running my kids around. I will do skirts, but not dresses. Also, maybe an unpopular opinion but I still prefer the wood hangers. I prefer the natural material of wood and actually like that they are thicker, they force my clothes to be spaced a little more so I literally can't cram too much onto the rail. I worry the velvet ones would leave a hanging crease on my garments too because the edge of the velvet hangers are so thin and sharp.

    I appreciate that as you are decluttering and finding items that belong to other family members (example, your son's Taekwondo uniform) you set the item aside to offer that person the choice, involving them in the decision/downsizing process. So many "minimalist" RUclipsrs give the impression that they just make the decision on behalf of the other household members (and maybe that's what works in their family. To each their own.). But I appreciate and respect your approach of asking and including the family member(s) who the item(s) belong(ed) to. It helps them learn how to let go, hopefully with purpose and respect (not fostering a "disposable lifestyle" mindset).

    Beetlejuice! I don't know if that counts as a Halloween move but I watch it this time every year. I'm not totally ready for a big closet declutter just yet but I did go through and toss the 'hell no' stuff at least. I seriously cleaned out my kitchen in the past month though. My counters are so much clearer and easy to keep clean. I'm loving it.

  • @MarfMerf
    @MarfMerf Год назад +4

    I always loved Ghostbusters and Beetlejuice. Love the theme of this video too of being haunted by past things including things you just decluttered. It is absolutely true about the declutter bag! That was a hilarious addition! I quit teaching this school year to heal my body from all the stress of pandemic teaching and Halloween and Day of the Dead were two of my favorite holidays to share with students and do art projects with. I have a lot of fantasy self art project clothes and costume ideas too that I need to let go of, and I have a ton of old teacher clothes that don't fit or are just completely worn out from art teacher life. I keep thinking I'll go back to teaching but I realize the more I'm away from it the happier I feel, and it is definitely time to let go of some of those past me outfits. The tips to get rid of clothes from my past self are really helpful and make it a lot less stresfful of a process. I also realize too, my body took on so much stress weight and I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's Hypothyroid, which can cause a lot of weight gain and so many of my clothes are really tight. I keep thinking I'll fit back into clothes, but realize I need to spend a little bit of money now to buy clothes that fit and that I feel good wearing, even if these clothes are for wearing during this transition phase for my body. No one expects an expecting mother to squeeze into tight pants while her body is changing, so why should I have ill fitting clothes while my body is bigger due to all the health changes it went through? I think that is part of this journery too, sometimes getting rid of things also means being okay with bringing new wardrobe items in, that fit the body we are in right now, and when I lose some of this weight I can then declutter the sizes I need now for ones that fit better again. I think there is a lot of guilt when there are ill fitting clothes due to changes in the body, and holding on to things that don't fit in hopes they will again one day is very haunting because clothes can be so sentimental. I'll be 40 in two weeks and it's my goal to slide into 2023 and a new decade of my life a healthier me and this was the perfect boost I needed to continue to fuel the changes. Thanks for all you do!

    I can't stop laughing at your head poking out of the garbage bag! lol Creepy and hilarious. OK... you have possibly given the best piece of advice that I don't think I've heard before (I've certainly never applied it): "Start by pulling out a few favorite pieces". I think my biggest roadblock to seriously paring down my clothes is that following the common advice to pull it all out of the closet and go through everything, getting rid of anything you don't love, I'm pretty sure I'll feel like I don't really love ANYthing, and in the end I'll have nothing to wear. Starting by picking out my favorites starts off on a much more positive note. I can certainly identify a few favorites - they're most likely going to be the items I always tend to wear anyway. They may not be perfect, and I may decide I want to replace or refine those items, but there's no way I'll end up with nothing to wear starting out this way. Doing this today!

    TIP: Amazon has pants buttons that are pins you can use on your pants to temporarily tighten the waist! I have the same issue finding pants that fit and this has been a life saver. Love that I can undo the pin if I fluctuate weight !

    The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (old black and white version) is a perennial favorite; although a newer one is Coco. I've got lots of skeletons in my closet, mostly fantasy self clothes that I can't seem to let go of. You inspire me and are so encouraging. Keep up the good work.

    I started this process, when I switched to my winter wardrobe. I only put things in the closet that I KNOW I like to wear, plus one jacket that I haven't worn that much. If the jacket doesn't get worn this winter season, it will be donated. It's interesting to me that my winter wardrobe is almost all gray, black, and red.

    It's interesting to watch your videos and kind of compare your minimalist approach to mine. My journey started when we lived in Berlin and moved to US with then two small girls, now teenagers and high schoolers... I don't throw or donate away clothes or shoes which I bought anymore. Have not done that in many years. I think carefully what I buy but still some of the shoes and clothes stay to the closet fr long time without using after I bought them. Sometimes for years. What I'm doing I take a look for all of my wardrobe at least once a year and every year I take some old item/ items to use with specially focusing to it/them and they always become my favorites and use them all the way to breaking point. It usually happens that because I take new item to use I also start to use different part of my closet more because they kind of go together. So I only toss things away when they are broken. I also stopped buying from Goodwill few years ago as I realized I tend to buy clothes which are good brand and so cheap for that and so nice if just... but also always lacking something and for that reason I'm not using it. I have not bought any clothes to my self in couple of years but very happy t it what I have.

    I've been thinking of watching some more spooky black and white movies...totally my kind of Halloween vibe, sound pops and all 😉
    Love that you mentioned identifying favorites first -- I actually happened to do this with my many scarves today and it helped me to at least scooch a few lesser favorites into my Time Will Tell bin :)
    Also! I never really considered ordering by color until trying it out recently and it's great. I've tried by category (too visually random), by length (better, but still not quite right), and now I think I've finally identified my favorite system! Between that and skinny velvet hangers (I even match light hangers with light items and dark hangers with dark), it really does add to the physical and visual space and I've been loving it!

    This is the first time I’ve watched your channel. I fluctuate between sizes. If I get rid of all my fat/skinny clothes, I’d just be buying new clothes every time I gain or lose weight. I pull out what I can’t wear and store then in another closet or in an under the bed storage container.

    I just decluttered my families entire wardrobe about a month ago and it was a good thing i did because our dryer broke one week later. Im using a line outside to dry now for my family of 7, couldn't imagine the pain of that if we still had all the clothes we did lol

    Trousers are always big on my waist and I snip the inside waistband near both side seams. Then thread broad elastic to bring the waist in. Better than a belt.

  • @tialawrence982
    @tialawrence982 Год назад

    I think you should do the sewing trick, worst case scenario it doesn't work, and you'll have to unpick it and resort back to a belt, but i think it will work! just make sure you use a thicker thread!

    Nice video yet again, Marissa! Try taking in the jeans. If they don’t turn out right, you’ve lost nothing. Fav Halloween Movie: Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown (I’m a scaredy-cat about horror movies.) So glad you’re back on YT and doing new content. You’re the best!

    Marissa, this probably isn’t something you want to spend any time on but what I do with Levi’s is have two identical pairs but one smaller size and one larger size. If I know I LOVE the fit and shape I prefer to have a larger size for when I want more room and a smaller size for when I really want a snug fit-- plus I usually have Levi’s for 10+ years so my weight does fluctuate and it’s nice to grab “my favorite pair” even thought it’s two favorite pairs.

    • @AtoZenLife
      @AtoZenLife  Год назад +1

      100% no guilt in keeping both pairs! You know your body best ❤️

    Another Hit fam 👌👌👌👌. I'm so happy I'm on the right path 💪💪. My closet decluter is an ongoing thing because there are always items I'm not sure and then put in a different closet. If I don't pick it up in the season I let it go. And that actually works for pretty much lots of things in my house. Anything I'm not sure changes place and after a certain amount of time is gone if not used or if I forget about it. Thank you so much 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

    Peter Jackson's The Frighteners is our "Halloween" movie. So good if you like fun thriller/horror! For the jeans that are too big in the waist, I would recommend doing the reduction on both sides of the back loop or they can look a bit odd and off-kilter. I have done this and love it, because I'm smaller waisted than my backside.

    I don’t have a favorite halloween movie since I didn’t grow up with halloween. We’ve imported a light version of halloween between my childhood and when I had my children. In the fall I love to watch Good Witch 🧙🏻‍♀️ but more for all the fall vibes 🍂 yes! You should totally try that sewing trick on your jeans!

    Would you mind providing information on the grey balloon sleeved sweater that you own ? I ask because I have been trying to find a flattering comfortable sweater to downsize all the others that are not either of those things! Part of my decluttering process is always to have something that I really love so that I don't feel enticed by other items why on a search for the "perfect" one. Love your channel 💕

    I've had velvet hangers for a while, but I was getting annoyed with how my clothes wouldnt come off the hanger when wanting to put them on, felt like I was stretching clothes more. I have just a few velvet ones that are needed for shirts that slide off plastic hangers. So it is a love/hate relationship, lol.

    • @Jessica_Jones
      @Jessica_Jones Год назад +1

      Definitely know the velvet struggle, ha! I fold small neck items for that very reason instead of hanging them up! But for button-ups and other garments with wider necks, I do love using them.

    Marissa I don’t like Halloween and scary movies but I like your video. Clattered home scares me enough so I don’t have to watch anything scary. I have a lot of maybes in my closet. I have two wardrobes: 6ps work and the rest is my regular clothes.

  • @Lesh004

    Hocus Pocus, even more so now that I’m a mom. My toddler calls it “hoco poko” and it made me fall in love with it all over again. 😂
    I’m definitely in need of a serious closet declutter. I’d say I only love 25% of my wardrobe, if it fit correctly. I have fluctuated weight all my life. So most of my wardrobe is my fall back or what I purchased to fit at a lower weight.
    I’m trying to make permanent changes and loose the weight for good. I’m giving myself one more year to make a change. And if I don’t then I will let go of anything that doesn’t fit.
