What was your favorite tip? Let me know in the comments section! Skip to 4:44 for the habit list, and most important please don’t think I am an expert at all of these things I’m just sharing as I learn. I’ve officially found the idea of minimalism six years ago and though that the ideas of intentional living and it’s been one of the most beneficial tools I’ve used in my life.

For my current lifestyle, it’s to only own things I love and need + have everything I own fit in my car (minus my couch and mattress) so I can move easily.

I love your quote, "it doesn't matter if you're drowning in 2 feet of water or 20. You're still drowning." It's important to realize that sadness happens to people in many different situations and you're allowed to be sad even if others have it worse than you. Suffering Olympics don't help anyone.

My favourite was : "It doesn't matter if you're drowning in 20 feet of water or 2 feet of water, you're still drowning." Whenever something seems unfair or something bad happens, I'm always told and I tell myself too that there are people worse off and there is. But we have to look after ourselves too. Otherwise we won't be able to look after others. Even if the problem seems small if it's got us all up in anxiety, we should deal with it. And not dismiss it as being not big enough. Fix what we can and keep working at it. It's not only the big problems that need fixing. Just like small acts of kindness can make a person's day. If we can't do a big lot, at least do a little each day.

I love how you say that you bought something you shouldn't have and you kinda "regret" it, or that you need to get better at some aspect of the minimalist life. It's such a positive thing to hear as someone who is just now starting to get into all of this! So many people in the minimalist community act as if buying stuff impulsively or not being an 100%, certified minimalist is a huge crime and it takes away my motivation because I feel like a failure from the start. Seeing you "struggling" with some things even though you already are a minimalist encourages me a lot!

I love the advice on sentimental items that aren’t really sentimental! For me, that would be gifts I was given by people who are no longer in my life. For instance, I was given a stuffed bear by an ex, and while I hated looking at it all the time, I felt badly about getting rid of it. Finally, I donated it, and I feel happier in my own home.

Mental Clutter is real also I hate that honestly that feeling of everything being organized, well organized, knowing where everything is, having that space always clean is a totally different state of mind it really helps to declutter everything every two months or so and you can really see that. I am naturally kind of a messy person I usually have everything clean but my room is always a mess and honestly the moment I clean up it's so different , I sleep better, I feel a lot less anxious knowing I don't need to move things around or declutter because it's always on the back of your mind when you have a mess, also you wake up feeling better, more energy having everything well organized is just better overall it's good for your mental health as well :D
