The internet has fucked the world. I journal and started painting. As my mind would never rest. I don’t watch news, TV or want to know about everything that goes on. Great channel. Ty

I still can’t believe I found a minimalist who loves books and games.and books. I like physical media so I never thought having these hobbies lent itself to minimalism. I’m glad to be proven wrong.

Just get rid of clutter and do one thing at a time. I sold of a bit of musical gear and only listen news once a day. Eat a variety of food and at least I cook once a week for two days. When dry outside a daily walk, with or without camera. Greet people, even strangers.

Even if I didn't understand the language you were speaking in your videos I would gain positivity from them. The serene, calm delivery and atmosphere complements the topics your raise so beautifully.

@EcomCarl Ай бұрын

Embracing essentialism clearly emphasizes the power of focused choices and the peace that comes with it. Streamlining decision-making not only declutters life but aligns your daily actions with your long-term goals. 👌

Seeing the tag that you're 29 was such a relief. I turn 30 in October and also have been on my minimalism/essentialism journey the past few years. Definitely harder with kids but maybe it will rub off on them

@leemanwrong Ай бұрын

I was the same where i always wanted something coming in to keep my mind from being bored until i heard japanese minimalist Fumio Sasaki talk about boredom and the benefits of just letting yourself daydream. Now i actively take time out to allow myself to do this.

I’m glad I now have a description or word for how I live life…. My wife is the total opposite though 😂 When I was in my early 20’s I collected a lot of stuff I didn’t need and I stopped but when I got married my wife showed me it was okay to collect things I liked 5:31 I’m 29 as well and had to learn to set boundaries with people who always expected me to be there and would pout if I didn’t

Resonating with this huge. I struggle with consumerism being a tech channel and all but I've using a flip phone over the last week to "cut back" in another way. So far so good, but man that smartphone flinch is real.

Why are all the minimalist calling it essentialism now. Minimalist myself but when did this occur?

@meursault-ey7wq Ай бұрын

I’ve been saying minimalist myself for years, but I understand it can be misleading. Essentialist can suggest that one is allowed to have what’s truly important to them, not just the absolute “minimum”. Might scare some people off.

@dexterie Ай бұрын

It’s more accurate… and “minimalism” doesn’t sell anymore. It’s “out of fashion”.

@Gabri3lRocha Ай бұрын

The term minimalist might also be confused with doomsday preppers. IDK, I'll probably keep saying minimalist.

How do you checkmate the true minimalist monk or nun that can live without sex (or eliminate intercourse from their remaining lifetime)? Most Caucasians can’t beat that move.

@user-vx5bu8tr5y Ай бұрын

Real essentialists are monks and nuns? Thesis?

@lucyfromsiberia 22 күн бұрын

That's impossible. It's impossible to not watch the news at all and have a clear plan for your life. Because politics can change your life. You can't be selfish and do only what you want if you have children. This is the first time I've just heard the word ‘essentialism’. And it's too complicated a concept for me.

@diamondnights 18 күн бұрын

Hi Nicholas! I love your channel and the ideas you share. We are the same age and have much in common regarding lifestyle. Just wanted to leave a comment on “ignoring the news” part, not only I can find it a bit “trying not to face the problems”, but it can lead to much more worse outcomes if you weren’t aware of something important, or didn’t follow the politics at least for a slightly bit. Personally me, as a person living in Ukraine 40km away from the frontline, I find it hard not to monitor the news all the time, but I would love to do it less. Probably, the only solution to this is move west of the country

@NicholasGarofola 17 күн бұрын

I completely understand. In your case the news is extremely relevant to your situation, I suppose following it in moderation could be an option so it doesn’t consume you. Hope you’re staying as safe as possible 🇺🇦
