❓ (my Affirmation below)Do you have Seasonal Shifts for your Daily and Nightly Routines ❓ Spring & Summer bring the need for some tweaks to mine. As weather heats up I need to get out in the garden earlier and earlier. Do I exercise, garden, and then do my Routines and Weekly Upkeep? Or vice versa? It something I'm musing on right now.
Affirmation: My home is cozy and calm. This is important for my mental wellbeing. I grew up in a dysfunctional house full of clutter and chaos. I find great comfort in the structure of routines. My home is truly a place I love to be.
Minimalism to me means making and maintaining room to think and live. If there’s too much clutter my mind is cluttered!
I’m not a minimalist. I don’t really want to be. However I do want a house that is organized and functional for my husband and I. What works for us might not work for others and that’s okay. But it does need to be functional for us. That’s my goal.
My affirmations: My home is not a to-do list. My home is tidy and peaceful. 💜
Thank you, Diane! To me, minimalism means feeling a lightness when I walk into my home, not a heaviness. I think this is very much linked to decluttering on a regular basis. I decluttered a dining room cabinet drawer today, and instantly felt lighter. Cozy but uncluttered works best for me!
Yes! That feeling of lightness!!
Wonderful! Rah, rah, rah!
“First it is an intention.
Then a behavior.
Then a habit.
Then a practice.
Then a second nature.
Then it is simply who you are.“ (Brendon Burchard) 💖
Whew, this one struck a chord! The first thought that popped into my mind was, "My home is not a collection of guilt." I've been feeling under the weather the last couple of weeks, and my routines have slipped. It's hard for me to jump back into things without harsh self-judgement, but guilt-tripping myself doesn't help long-term progress, in my experience. Instead, I want to see my home as a place that cares for me and supports my well-being. Time to help my home support me by jumping back into my routines and doing a short declutter session.
In a recent Minimal Mom youtube video she asks for people to comment/list positive channels on social media. I immediately thought of this channel ❤❤
Minimalism for me is no unwanted clutter. I have a home that is peaceful and calm. I am constantly working on decluttering as I want a home that is easy to maintain. Less items means a quicker clean as well as finding what you want straight away. No wasted time and extra time for living life full of joy. 🎉
Diane- I’ve recently realized I’m also a type 1 of DYT- and I’ve revamped my wardrobe and I’ve never felt so beautiful and alive!! THANK YOU
My home is going to let me regain it again in 2024 with the help of Diane in Denmark
Brilliant, Jacqueline!
My home is cozy, comfortable, easy to clean, and full of stories. 🦋
My home is a work in progress. After following your channel for a long time, I have recently noticed some significant progress!! Things seem to flow better and feel easier. Thanks for hanging in with me on this incredible journey. ❤❤❤
My home is mostly a reflection of me and cozy. I do love books and family heirlooms but I am being consistent to weed out items that I no longer use and love. Thank you, Diane, for your inspiration on this journey!
Love the affirmations!
My home is my favorite place to be.
My home is not a burden.
(These are my goals, at least.)
Love these!
So many of your affirmations resonated, but getting there feels so distant to me. In this current season of life I am a carer for my older disabled husband. Time and energy are at a premium. One foot in front of the other, 10 minutes at a time. Thank you Diane!
Nice to remember that your house is a place you don’t need to escape from. This became even more clear to me during the pandemic. I enjoy being a homebody.
So lovely to see you! I’m practising enoughism in my house! We have enough and no more!! Easier said than done sometimes but I do my best!!! 🎉🎉🎉❤
Enoughism. Love that one. ❤
Thank you for being so positive, Diane! Minimalism to means my house feels cozy but still a relaxing place.
My home is not a garbagecan😅
My home is a cozy place where I can be myself.
Love this, thank you!
Thank you Diane 😀 Though major confession time ~ my home resembles,(in places) an organised bookstore , with influences of a plant shop both of which brings me hygge comforts and reflects my and my hubby’s tastes … but strict rules re not a storage facility for others and I could so relate to your list of phrases /Reflections/affirmations 😀 NOTHING BUT GRATITUDE FOR YOU DIANE xxxx😘
It's okay to have a bookstore home if it works for YOU and the rest of your family! 😍
My surrounds me with things I love, beloved books, cherished family heirlooms, things I have created, lovely art, comfortable furniture, cozy, warm. My home does not have trash, ugly things, broken items.
My home is a shared space. When you choose to live with family, you choose to live with their rubbish (oops I mean valued possessions!). I do sometimes dream about living on my own in a clutter free home, but for now I’ll keep my people.
My affirmations: My house is not a place I want to get away from. My home is a cozy, minimalist safe haven for me and my family. It feels so good to have it tidy and clutter free! Thank you, Diane, for the encouragement!!
I was wondering what you would come up with for this week. You are creative, watching you never gets boring. Enjoyed seeing your love birds again. 🎉🎉🎉
My home is a blessing and is my favorite place to be. ❤
For me, a minimalist house is organized, less cluttered and peace of mind 🧘🏻♀️
Love the affirmations, Diane. I’m making a set of motivational affirmation cards to help me when I feel overwhelmed or unmotivated.
Dear Diane, it was really good to see you today
I want my home to feel welcoming and serene. To me, that means uncrowded, a feeling of spaciousness. I don't want a house that feels like a museum, rather a house that is uncluttered. That is minimalism for me. You challenged us to get rid of one item, so I got rid of some papers. Thanks, Diane.
I just sat down for a coffee break and was delighted to see your newest video pop up. You always inspire me. Up off my bahookee again shortly, thanks as always! ☕
Same here😂
Yay, glad to hear it, KittyCuddler!
Minimalism means a calm home for my family & I. The ability for me to focus on self care & calming my anxiety rather than cleaning. It allows me to spend time with my family & friends rather than worrying about housekeeping. Minimalism allows me to say “yes” to those things that make my heart happy ❤️
When I am home, I feel peace, ease, and no worries. I only surround myself with the items I enjoy and donate those that no longer serve their purpose. Everything is in its place (most days), and I can clean efficiently without having to move things around. My home is a blessing to me.
For me it’s a calm and peaceful house that is easy to keep clean and tidy and that leads to a peaceful mind.
My home works for me.
goals!
My home is safe.
To me minimalism is being confident that all you need will be. It is living with trust and not a scarcity mindset. A minimalist home is clean, calm, and peaceful. My home is a reflection of who I am not who I wish I was.
My home is not full of my old fantasy selves.
My home is a safe haven that brings me joy and cultivates creativity and love. ❤
I loved the positive affirmations/statements better than the negative ones. Maybe this is a statement for me: My home is a positive space to be in.
Minimalism to me is having a clean and organized home where I feel safe and happy. Minimalism also means a clear and uncluttered mind and most of all, peace and calm.
Love this video! Just what I needed today. Because I am still in the process, my phrases are going to be:
My home WILL NOT be a dumping ground!
My home WILL be a cosy, relaxing sanctuary!
That’s what I’m working towards,
Thanks as always Diane x
Love that, Charlotte!
I'm not a minimalist but my home is cozy and comfortable and neat. Thank you Diane for your uplifting videos 👍
Minimalism to me in my home is simple, clean, uncomplicated but not cold or boring. That in turn, makes me feel relaxed and calm.
A place for everything and everything in it's place. A clean tidy home without clutter. I do not want to burden my family with a lot of stuff to contend with when I am gone. I saw what my daughter-in-law went through when her parents passed away and I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
This video resonated with me. I'm gently encouraging my family to let go of stuff that they no longer need, working in the zones, and little by little I am starting to see a difference.
My home IS NOT a place to feel stressed in.
My home IS a place where I feel calm, yet invigorated to be creative.
Oh wow, many of those statements resonated with me. My home is not a dumping ground. My home is not a storage unit for other people’s stuff.
My Flylady zone sheets are evolving through these videos. On the back of each page is a growing list of self-care ideas for the week. I’m now going to add these affirmations.
Thank you, Diane! See you tomorrow on the DYT broadcast!!
Yay, looking forward to it tomorrow! 👋😃💖
My home is not a rubbish bin. My home is not stuffed to overflowing with stuff, visual chaos or dirty. My home feels, sounds and smells like a spa. My home’s name is Fred and I treat him like a beloved family member who cradles me in love, comfort and hygge! I keep him clean, well maintained and sparsely decorated.
My house is finally a place I enjoy, but will always be in progress.
A very thought provoking video. Almost all of the "is and is not"'s apply to me. I want to be a minimaIist. I have been working on it for two years. It seems I will never get there. I am going to write this down in a list so I can look at it everyday for focus and inspiration. I am thinking it will change over time as I figure out what I am really trying to accomplish in my home. Thank you Diane!
Glad it was helpful!
I think of minimalism as a process rather than a destination. Each day affords an opportunity to make progress toward your ultimate goal, but I think it slows the momentum if you look at your idea of minimalism. It is an ongoing journey with each new day bringing possibilities for progress.
For me a minimalist home is.one that is comfy, easy to life in, and reflects out lifestyle.
I have been practicing minimalism for several years now. It’s made it much easier to keep our home clean and tidy and I know where everything is (most of the time anyway 😄). Our home is not just a house, our home is our sanctuary, filled with things that my husband and I love 🥰
To me minimalism means that my house is a save space in which I can relax. The "my house is not a dumping ground" resonated with me. As it sometimes can feel like that, but werking towards the welcoming and relaxing feeling :)
If my house is clean and tidy, everything in its place, then quite simply I feel calm and at peace. Xx
I am going home after 10 weeks away.
I'm going to have new eyes to the stuff and new eyes to what needs to leave.
I shall be considering what my home really is and what I want it to be.
Minimalism to me is being able to find what I'm looking for easily and not having stuff spilling off of surfaces.
You have made me take stock of where I am in my decluttering journey - I thought back to how things were in my home a few years ago, it was chaos and we also had a storage unit 😮. Now, my house is still full but everything fits and the piles are gone, along with the £100 a month storage unit. It's still WIP but I'm doing better and I'm putting one foot in front of the other every day. Thanks for your support, Diane. X
That is quite an accomplishment, Lisa! Well done!!
My home is not anyone else's responsibility to care for. My home is my privilege to care for.
Minimalism to me means I gently work to make and keep my environment one that is simple and easy for this phase of my life. My home is not a store; it is welcoming, open, airy, and has space to play.
My daughter was here for Easter and we went through a number of boxes she was storing in my attic. She took one box home and We threw out loads of stuff and got a load ready for donation this week! Minimalism to me means only having what I love in my home.
Well done to you both!!
Realizing that minimalism means not feeling like my stuff is in charge of me. The routines are putting me back in charge of my stuff and my time. I have the right amount of stuff I just needed a process to feel that way
Diane , I loved these affirmations. Since I still have tons of decluttering ahead of me, I will use the affirmations as "My Home IS BECOMING a sanctuary, my favorite place to be, clean, calm and organized, etc."
Minimalism is creating a serene, organized home where doing things is easier.
Hi, Diane, my home IS (looking like) a Book Store, a Yarn Store, a Kindergarten … I enjoy it, as long as I can find the things I'm looking for and it doesn't look too messy. I guess: Going through things on a regular basis doesn’t belong enough to my habits. Thank you for making me thinking about that. Love, Monika❣
Thanks Diane, Minimalism to me is a feeling of order and calm. My home hugs me and is a relaxing place for my family and friends. Clutter free but not sterile. I always try to remember it's a work in progress not a final destination, that way I don't get overwhelmed or frustrated. And people feel relaxed, not uptight in my space. Your affirmation, " my house is not a dumping ground " is definitely for me. And I try to have the affirmation "my home isn't perfect but it's perfectly home ' ❤
Minimalist home to me means I am cozy when I wind down at night and can get to whatever I need in my house easily.
I love this fill in the blank! I'm going to do my own thoughts but I'm also going to ask my husband and kids who are 5 and 8!
"My home is not a book store". OK Diane, I admit it, you got me. Just as I was feeling smug, too. Admittedly, most books are in one room, but I still have way too many.
Thanks to your videos, I have learned to face declutterring as one small task at a time, instead of an overwhelming, unattainable job. Drawer by drawer, shelf by shelf and box by box, gets the job done and keeps me on track!!
My home is peaceful and calm.
Minimalism (and the flylady method!) means my house is running smoothly and my life feels under control.
I love the affirmations. Also, I like how you say, "Let's just spend 10 minutes going through a bag or box." It is hard to let go of 'memories' that belong to our loved ones. Doing it together is a great way to talk about the memories and let them go! 🤩
I laughed out loud - because I can relate- to “my home is not a storage unit for other people’s things, not a craft store and not a book store”. I will be working on these things.
I watch your videos during my evening routine which is the biggest challenge for me. The videos make it much more cozy! Thank you!
My home reflects me and my family, being me, being us. So I want our home to give rest and make us feel at ease, at home and in control. I want our home to be ready to welcome guests at any time.
And I also want our home to give us confidence that it's okay to let go for a while. For me this works better with less things and stuff.
My home is clean & tidy. A joy to come home to. 😊
My minimalist home is an essentialist home…just enough of everything (clothes, housegoods, art and decor) in its correct place, that fits well/is in good working/clean to be pleasing to me and to lift my spirits. I love to travel and having a simple home makes it easy to pick up and go and delightful to return to at the end of a trip.
I just took 6 bags to the good will . Thank you for the encouragement ❤
My minimalistic home does act as storage for my grown children but the boxes and equipment are stored in my crawl space and have been checked and decluttered over the years. They know when I downsize in 5 years they will need to find new homes. Dianes 10 minutes is how I manage to upkeep the tidy calm spaces that I enjoy.
I love your definition of minimalism! I spent so many years not putting out seasonal decorations because I was afraid of my home looking cluttered, but since watching and following you I am putting out simple seasonal decorations that make life feel special everyday!
Thanks for the inspiration, Diane! My affirmation: my home is fresh, light, and welcoming-filled only with things I love and use. Perfect for my type 1/2 nature😉! See you and Carol tomorrow 💖
My home is... company ready. That's somewhere between reality & goal LOL!
Fill my home with things I love❤! Identified as my/my family space, comfortable, want to love my space etc.
For me, it’s about editing and refining systems. I’ve had people say I’m not a minimalist. Sure. Okay. I am. I have what I need, I love what I have, I use what I have. My home is organized and in order. I can go out in the morning knowing my counters are clean and my bed is made with the laundry folded and put away. I am living life to the fullest because I have removed excess. As an organizer, that took time. Because I can organize a lot of stuff, lol. Now, I edit and think really hard about what gets to stay in our home.
I'm still in the middle of the decluttering process after two of our children have moved out. For them it's much easier to let go of things, because I link so many memories with old toys and clothes. But I'm getting better. And thanks to your motivation I'm putting one foot in front of the other. A big hug from Germany!🤗
I'm just starting to see the results from decluttering and minimalism for me is less guilt from holding on to things that don't work, less stress from trying to make it all fit, and more time for the things I would really like to do. 😊❤
Minimalism means "ease," in every sense of the word to me. Enjoyed your conversation and prompts for thoughts today, Diane!
My house is not a storage unit for someone’s else’s things, love that
Hello Diane! I agree with so many of your minimalist statements! For me, minimalism has been a journey that began with a flood in our basement. I'm so glad I'm not hanging onto things as my mother did in the past as I realize in the end, you don't need them anyway. I'm also wearing my clothes and jewelry and not 'waiting for a special occasion' because every day is a special occasion. See you soon!!
My home is my place to rest, to be creative and to enjoy friends company.
My decluttered home let me enjoy free time with my friends&my kids..or cycling or painting..❤for all of my passions!even paddle on a lac near my home😊and soon I will start running💪🏻it makes my menopause up&down more easy to live
Minimalism means when I look around my home, I see items that inspire me to make art and relax, to eat good food and to connect with my family and friends. Any items that make me feel sad need to go. Minimalism means I feel focused, not scattered. Minimalism means shorter to-do lists and more flexible use of my time. Minimalism means letting go of projects that maybe sounded good at one point, but not in this season of life.
My home is not a dust bin. It is getting better and more minimalist every day as I clear away all the excess paper.
My home is very simply , where i truly want to be , with everything i need to hand .
I loved all these affirmations. The 'my home is not...' group really hit home. The 'my home is...' are huge aspirations. Decluttering is my path. It's working now little by little.
Thank you again.
Thank you, Diane, for your positive affirmations! My home is a peaceful haven. I am always working to keep it so. ❤😂❤
Minimalism means being able to enjoy your home with peace and keeping it under control. My one thing was an old key ring.
I love ur "my home is" & "my home is not". What an excellent exercise!! My home is not chaotic ❤
My home is a place of peaceful joy...
My home is my safe haven, it reflects me beautifully, I can sense it´s good and calm energies.
For me, its less clutter, tidy and just a tad more than necessary in decorations( I take photo's and like to display). Your routines have just been great, even my hubby goes "it's towel Tuesday" and its funny when he says it. (I wash towels as needed but every Tuesday they get done). You are such a wonderful inspiration, much love from AZ😎
Dear Diane, thank you for being wise and thoughtful! For me, my home is a harbour of tranquility and wellbeing in this crazy hectic world.
It’s definitely an ongoing process in all stages of our lives to see what we need and use, and what isn’t necessary any more. Today your suggestion that even one thing a day being decluttered is good enough finally sunk in. I’ve heard it before, but today it really resonated, and I intend to focus on doing just that, instead of always trying to do more.
Hi Diane, I really like this idea of writing down what our homes are, or are not, to us. I'm a huge analog person and using affirmations is new to me. Also appreciate that "minimalism" doesn't mean bare bones living!
My home is for me and if I don't want extra decor just because it makes me "look poor" I don't need to. That is my affirmation. Great video! ❤
