Well said 😊

@@lidiane3291 Thanks 😊

Less is more

True I am leaning towards a minimalist way of life in my thoughts but I haven't purged yet. I am organizing and have I donated several bags of clothes this last year but it is time for spring cleaning now lol I have had rabbit ears for my flat screen TV I got free. I paid 40 dollars for at Walmart for the rabbit ears to get the news. A salesman suggested what kind I needed at Walmart. Turns out the 12 dollar one that a neighbor has is better and gets more channels lol. I like the less time cleaning part. I am constantly trying to catch up on laundry. I dont even know how to use the phone I have and I just paid it off after 4 years. I do put my health first as I buy vegan groceries, vegan toiletries and may buy something recycled at the thrift store that I don't want to by new. I bought a recumbent bike at the local mission thrift store. It was only 10 dollars and I do my routine first before chores or the day disappears to quick and I am too tired to do a workout. Minimilizing opens up your chakras of awareness and mental clarity so that you can actually focus on the priorities as you state above in your comment. Since I have put my marriage first before shopping or spending time scrubbing or fixating on the mess and energy it takes to maintain a household. I feel like I want less clutter in all areas of my life so I can be a better wife and give more attention towards my husband and his needs so we can go on with our future plans together. I have to put my husband's wants first or I am not happy. I love him so much that I dont need jewelry or anything of this world other than him. It is who he is and how he thinks that I love and it is because of him I am wanting to become a minimalist but really appreciate the quality not the quantity of things. Another subject My nice microwave was free. Everytime I eat leftoves in the microwavel my back pain intensifies for some reason. My Doctor said some people are radiation sensitive. What is your opinion on having a microwave? I feel like invisible cling on microwave particles are attaching them selves to my bone marrow tissue in my injured lumbar. Anyway I agree with nurturing yourself and your relationships other than running ragged trying to constantly have a high maintenance long household chore list with too much stuff and too many excpections not too mention cost. I am not a minimalist yet so any suggestions I can digest I can put to use. However alot of what I do is more minimalist than alot of people.

“First world problems” I guess.

Whoa it's Eric!

We got Eric 😁

same!!

Discovering Eric has changed my chess.

Agree!

Great quote 🙏🏻

Where’s that quote from?

​@@zojirushi1 Tuseet Jha - a writer about Happiness, Productivity, and Minimalism.

@@ladders101 👍

Ah that is a great one 🤩

You become more mindful of your purchases and appreciate the little things that you have 🙌

yes! I experienced this too :")

I experienced this too! But I noticed I was holding on to what I had to tight when I cried when my dog destroyed a reusable egg carton 🤦‍♀️ still trying to find a balance.

So true! Great comment. Minimalism is like fasting: you appreciate food so much more. Even brown rice tastes like a delicacy after not eating for 22 hours!!! Ps: I highly recommend fasting! I’m currently on an 80-day streak of only eating once a day; water all the other times. So much more time, so much more focus!

Great

I need you to start a channel and teach us hahah

Absolutely agree. What we find hardest is birthdays and Christmases when other family members want to but presents for our baby and that way it can get out of hand and you have lots of stuff you don't need or want

As a person who grew up without a lot of things I can say it was one of the best things in my life!

It just makes everything easier, as a kid I was on the PC all day and I didn't need lots of clothes, hardware etc.. it really teaches you being a minimalist in other areas of your life and using your environment to its fullest potential

Yeah

It’s from fight club

Yep, this quote goes way back. And Will was right.

Why is everyone keep posting this same phrase over and over again?

@@freedomisthechoicesyoumake8594 makes them feel smarter and edgier than they actually are.

Below this was a comment from a random dude named will Rogers lol

😂😂

Me: why the couch, why the cushion, why the table, why ...

haha

😂 zen masters sat on dirt. Between couch and dirt... he is somewhere in the middle 😁🤷🏻‍♀️

🤪

Totally agree!

@@nerd_alert927 So true. Yet so many people feel they have to buy their children's love.

Wow awesome stay blessed

That sounds awesome

This is a key to reducing clutter too. I just did a video about it 😌

Yes me too! I used to always buy things in case, or buy two in anticipation of when the first is broken/stained etc 🤦🏻‍♀️

I am a minimalist since my young age because our parents were but my husband always buying things just in case and has double in everything.

Fight Club👏

@@Iifeandmoney shhhh we don't break rule #1

Tyler Durden is bad-ass!!!

@@Iifeandmoney What's the first rule?

it does :(

✨That is beautifully expressed! Yes 🙌🏻 It was never about things 🤷🏻‍♀️

Materiał things matter!

Omg. This one right here actually is the greatest benefits for myself

omg lol so trueee!

Daniel Radcliff did that. He wore the same outfit every day so paparazzi would eventually leave him alone. You couldn't tell if a picture was from yesterday or 6 months ago.

“First world problems” I guess.

Even if Matt wears the same shirt. I can tell when its new or older content from his beard, Natalie's hair , the couch or the absence it and the cushions etc.

@Cielo Vida what kind of backpacking did you/do you do? I love hearing where people have gone!

Great

Love to know your take

I backpacked too and it was awesome so free

When you're out in nature for a long time, you realize how little we need. Good luck on the AT.

Same i thrift my clothes. I wear the same outfit everyday because people will like me for me and not what I wear. I wear a grey sweater with a t-shirt underneath and dark skinny jeans. Now if only I could do it with my everyday at home outfit

I love this!!

What a great thought. After reading this, i realized I workout more (all I have is a kettlebell and a pull-up bar) than when I had a full weight set. It’s just so much more enjoyable (to me).

Exactly on point

And you can see, how are others afected by this consuming minds and see values that arr givent to insignificant possesions in their lifes. Best of it are that damn phones and cars

Right

🙏🙏

Yes and its one of the things that make the change difficult. On many jobs, you have to keep your "image" of "success" with fancy cars, clothes and exotic vacations. For example, when i finished my degree and started working in the pharmaceutical area, all my colleages bought expensive cars, expensive clothes while i bought a very cheap used car (which after 14 years i still have!) and kept using the same clothes. Today, we have our house paid to the bank, no debt at all and some money on our side. Minimalism or simple living sometimes projects an image to other people that you are "poor" or no "successfull" but we must teach our kids it doesnt matter. Also, it makes you humble enough to never judge anyone based only on the appearance.

It's so frustrating and I've communicated it so many times literally got to the point that I told them that if they bought me anything I'm bound to sell or give it away if it doesn't bring value to my life. They STILL buy stuff for me. I just gave up and dispose of any items I find unnecessary the most appropriate way that I can.

How are they giving it to you unless you give in and take it? Stick to your “no” without explanation

@@bri_the_bold When your mom mails you presents they "give it to you". It's happened to me.

It’s my goal to be able to say this one day

Me too!

Ah that is beautiful! Feels like it has opened for you the door to a whole new world ✨✨

I was very poor and a minimalist by default for 3 years (as an accomplished man in my 50s) I used an 8" cast iron skillet (which I bought for five bucks at a junk reseller) twice a day and cooked everything it. Things are better now financially and I still use the little skillet, but now he's my old friend who was with me in hard times. He's my very good friend...

Hmmm...that’s thought provoking. I bet there really might be something to that. Clutter causes overwhelm visually for me too. Maybe clinical anxiety too.

I think it might apply to people with AD(H)D as well for that same reason

Yeah, I have seen people with way more clutter than I have, yet they don't seem overwhelmed or bothered by it at all. I grew up with a clean freak. As a child, my mom had us dusting and vacuuming every single weekend. We cleaned the whole house. And our rooms could never be messy. So now mess bothers me. However, when I go to my friends who have somewhat messy houses, but are relaxed about it, I am impressed. Or at least confused. I can't live like that, but it's cool other people can. I think it says something about their personality and the way their mind works.

@@NotYourIliad yeah, I can see that. I believe I have ADHD so with too many choices, I can never complete 1 task. I get overwhelmed whether playing, working or cleaning. I'm in the process of reducing now. Feels good.

Agree...i am one of them...it just helps

Well hold on you gotta change that shirt every day. Just buy duplicates, otherwise it's very unhygienic.

@@utub1473 it entirely depends on the fabric and how much physical activity you do. Also lots of people wash their shirt/dress in the evening and it’s fresh and dry in the morning

I did as well. Felt like they always just kept saying the same stuff over and over, trying to figure out more ways to make money off of it. Matt is much more relatable.

@@chasingsimpledreams lol, I unfollowed them everywhere when I heard "I was the youngest manager ever of 150 corporate stores when I realized I was miserable" for the 97th time!

@@clarafrank4953 oh my God yes. Humble brag much of them?? I was like yeah if I made that much money I could do whatever I want also! But I just got so sick of hearing how successful they were as nauseum.

I unfollowed them when they started to ask 200 dollars for VIP tickets of their events. It's okay to make money but coming from a humble background themselves I thought this was so contrary to their values.

You're absolutely correct. I don't think they would have been rich

Wow, yoga helps with backs? Damn I’ll start next week then

@@AdrianA-yo8jd yes , yoga can do miracles on human body

Be careful with yoga and stretching, too much can actually cause / exacerbate issues. If you have back issues you're trying to treat talk to your doctor and try to get individualised stretches from a teacher rather than following a one size fits all routine.

@@nyxaelia115 I hurt my back in a yoga class, ended up in hospital for a couple of days and in bed for 2 weeks. Pilates is much better for back problems.

2 pinched nerves, CONSTANT PAIN, best things by far: 1. Bruce Lee’s 10 minute tension exercises 2. Dedicated core stabilization w/ weights & PT-guided stretches/movements 3. Acupuncture-but only if you can afford to keep going..deteriorate soon after last treatment

hahah so true. Old habits 😅

Minimalism doesn't mean not having enough mugs or plates for your friends to have coffee or dinner, if you regularly have 10 people over for drinks and snacks having 10+ is the right number for you just because other days you only need 4 doesn't mean you should only have 4 and stop entertaining, minimalism is your servant not your master

Aww

It's neat to set the example for your kids though. I'm so proud of my daughter when she self downsizes her closet. She's 13 and I believe the seed has taken root.

There's always the option of not having kids. That way you don't have to take a "break" from your minimalist lifestyle

Actually I have kids and then I discovered minimalism & I dont see a problem. My kids have the essentials in their room. Nothing more, its amazing because now I can teach them how to live intentionally.

@@callme_carol yeah there was that option until I dropped the dime between my knees, twice. Lol

Come on, stocks are great, they are lots of earnings

I trade crypto on my own, but still counting $1000 after 3 weeks, I bought bitcoin. 😥

No, you don't trade crypto your self; it takes much analysis to trade crypto, that can only be done by professional brokers.

I've been trading bitcoin with professor Chris James for some couple of months,😱 he brings me massive returns, guess what? He takes on 15% of total profit.

Really, I've traded with a peofessional broker before but he takes 45% of profit.
