i lost my childhood blanket when i was little and now nothing will make me as sad as losing that so i'm fine decluttering😂

Decluttering is literally my hobby.. maybe I'm a little obsessed 😁

I've been decluttering my whole house during this quarantine period...and I must say it feels like I've lifted a large weight off my chest. Thank you for the tips! 💜

There are so many KZfaqrs that I personally feel don't express how minimalism can be handled and give a misconception on how it impacts peoples lives so I am really grateful for your account! I've been following for almost two years and have slowly taken everything in while shaping my lifestyle into a more minimalistic, slow lifestyle. YOU DA BOMB!!!

You have no idea how much I want my future home to look like yours when I get to that point of living on my own. Right now I’m working on culminating my many notebooks and having my daily journals and my devotionals into one journal. So yep I ripped pages out and moved stuff around to get everything right as to not waste paper 😄 but I do like having everything in one area...also having “less” truly is so nice in life as it decreases worry and moves the need for “more”.😊🥰 AND your girl is doing to 365 day devo through the Bible app and am so happy to be in Gods word for a whole year!🌸✨💗

whenever christine posts, that's when you know it's one of the best days ever

I have had a minimalist mindset for the past 4 years and I really wish I had something else to declutter during this stay at home period but I pretty much only have things that I love or that are useful to me already.

Hopefully when people declutter they recycle glass, paper, metal and..... all seperately. Make sure it does not go to landffill if you live say in USA or.... Also rather leave things outside you house, you may find a neighbour or.... will be happy to have it. This is what we do here in Switzerland. We have facilities here for recycling things separately. Nice tips Christine. Thanks.

Another great well timed video Christine, something God has been showing me lately is about contentment, and how influenced I can get while seeing others lives, instead of focusing on mine with gratitude for all He has given me. My main struggle in decluttering is my art room, whilst quite minimal in reality I still keep things, just in case, so I am praying for wisdom on what to keep. Many thanks for your encouragement, blessings from Australia

Thank you ! This helps me so much because I am about to move into a small studio apartment and needed to figure out what items to get rid of and what to keep. Trying to bring in as little as possible 🙏

I am working on decluttering my closet so that you so much for all the tips!

Your dog is so cute!! And thank you for the helpful video!

I find that revisiting boxes is a big mistake. I’ve fallen into the trap of opening decluttered boxes and taking things back even though I didn’t use them all month! Just a warning! Maybe it’s just me 😂

I love that you have a bookshelf 🥰🥰🥰

This video was such an inspiration. You really summed up the process of minimalism in very practical terms!

So nice to see how your dog is your buddy. Love your videos! Thanks for sharing

I love your videos ! I’m going to tackle under my bed today if my mum is up to help me ! (I’m a 14 year old minimalist to be) you videos are so helpful !!

This is a great quality video on minimalism, thank you for sharing!

I truly love the content you create!

this was SO helpful, Christine! thank you for sharing! I am always inspired by your wonderful content:)

I don't make a box and put it away in the garage, that's too much of a temptation. Once I put it in my mind that I don't need it and I haven't used it for 3 months I do not second-guess my common sense. I just say to myself "get rid of it, don't look at it and don't care about it"! Enough is enough! Sometimes you have to get ruthless with yourself. I used to have several towels now I have two large ones. two face cloths, and two hand towels. I figured that should be enough for one person. But if you really wanted to make your life simple all you need is one towel one hand tell and one face cloth. And wash them when they need to be washed. When I finish eating I wash my plate and my Cutlery right away and I put it back into the cupboard. I don't have two forks two knives two of anything..I only have one fork one knife one spoon One Bowl One Plate and one cup and one glass. If you have more than one of everything you become lazy at cleaning dishes.. I remember going over to my neighbor's place and the dishes would be always piled on the counter . There was four people in the family and they had a place setting for I would say for 24 people!! Thier home was ALWAYS full of dirty dishes..maybe they should have let the dog lick the plate and put it back in the cuboard..lol..joking no that's how you get rid of company when you don't want them around anymore. If somebody comes to your house for supper every day all you do is put the plates on the floor in front of the Hozier as in you're over welcome guests and let them see the dogs lick your plate and then you say to your guests this is how we do our dishes saves a lot of time when you think hahaha and then put them up in the cupboard and let them see you put them up in the cupboard and then you reply now they're done clean dry and ready for the next time you come over. I knew somebody who did that because they couldn't say no to company that came over only for supper so after 3 months they decided to just do that. Right in front of the individual and they never came back for supper ever again. I don't think I could do that maybe once lol but I certainly wouldn't leave the cupboards full of dog licked plates I'd get them out of them as soon as the company left and put them in the dishwasher lol And I told them that if they want to keep their house clean the dishes from piling up have everyone in the family wash their own plate don't keep going to the covered and grabbing more dishes . It just looks so dirty in there because they had their dishes also in a Cupboard hiding dirty can you believe that!! my grandfather was that way, what he would do he would have something to eat go wash his plate and then he would put the plate back on the table and set his table for the next meal. One day I went to his house and I opened all his cupboards and they were all empty every single one..I asked him where is your plate and your cutlery and he says look on the table and so I looked on the kitchen table I saw that he had his plate there, he had a cup and saucer there. He had a fork, spoon and knife and that was it! he would make himself something to eat, then he sit down and eat, get up after he ate, and washed his dishes and put everything back on the table all over again for his next meal..talk about simple simple simple simple. He had one pot one frying pan and he cooked everything in one pot. He had one rake one shovel one of everything that he needed and that was it. I think anxiety is created when we have too much of anything. When you have to work many hours to accumulate excessive amounts of possessions that can cause anxiety. And do we really need anxiety.

Thanks for this practical tips and realistic approach with decluttering..

Me everyday 😅 always decluttering, somehow i feel good after throwing things doesnt give me spark anymore.

it has been so crazy to see your channel grow so much; i have been here since a couple hundred subscribers! your content is so perfect to watch after working during these hectic times - thank you and God bless!

This minimalism affects me so much.I follow you with love🌿

thanks Christine for your amazing content as always! kiss from France

Love your video! 👍🏼👍🏼

I do this . Decluttering small areas each weekend :)

Your a sweet Heart!! this video was very helpful!!!!

Great video! Thanks for sharing the tips 😄

Heyyyy I saw the book “God Space” that’s a good one!

Yey! My question on how to deal with a partner who is not open to decluttering was answered! 😊 I’ll watch again your video with Peter. Stay safe!

This sounds like an advertisement and i’m all for it

Love your channel so much :)

I want your dog! Thanks for the tips 😊

Love your videos:)xx

Thank you for the helpful video! I’m starting to love minimalism just watching your videos and others, but I also love color and not a lot of minimalists use color and I was wondering why?

nice one！

Gosh this pandemic and 2 month lockdown would be a lot easier if I wasn’t alone. Yall r cuties. BUT ATST LEAST THERR IS DECLUTTERING :) thanks for the amazing Inspo video!

Great content. I completely agree that it’s important to surround yourself with things that truly make you happy and have use. I’m starting out with my own channel and hoping to provide similar content! Cheers!

Thanks for sharing:)🌺

I used to have thousands of items that I used to handle and touch so I am slowly becoming a minimalist but I'm doing it in a way that is different than a lot of people. For example if I have to handle something more than three times then I will throw it out. I don't want to be moving and touching and organizing and moving this and taking it from one area to another area before I get rid of it

Love the avocado plant, how do you take care of it?

When I go shopping for groceries I buy enough food for two days that way everything is fresh in my mind for example if I want to eat apples and oranges for 2 days I figure out how many I'm going to eat for the two days if I only want one apple and one orange I only buy one apple and one orange for each day so that's two orange and two apples. I used to have a deep freeze and fill it up with food I don't do that anymore especially if the power went out you lose all your food and the food that has to be frozen is it really healthy everything should be fresh. The mine should never be confused with constantly buying things and worrying about what to get rid of and worrying about what to buy life should be a lot easier than that. When we have to consume ourselves but becoming a minimalist we've already made the mistake of having too much.

Peace 😇😇😇

Hello, I love your videos so much. They are very calming and motivating to me. I was wondering if you could cover decluttering when it comes to living in an area that experiences all type of weather? From snow to hot summer days, is there any tips you would give?

Hi! Did you link a video of you and Peter? I did not find it. Really love your channel. You are one of my favorites. I am very black and white and struggle with giving others there space. I tend to put it on others like you should do this too!!!! My husband teaches me how to not do that. It’s a learning process and I don’t love that I do that. I loved what you said about respecting the other person and letting them chose to do it. Also love your moves ahah get it girl!!!

It's something I've been thinking heavily about, and now sadly because of COVID-19 it has given me the impetus to do so now. After watching I immediately subbed. Oh, btw love the background music, it enhanced your subject. Can you list it? Thanks in advance

Thank you so much Christine Kerala India Thiruvananthapuram

I love your dog :) he made me smile. Is he an Australian shepherd?

Hi Christine! I'm wondering if you do podcast? It will be wonderful if you have one :)

after I collect a good amount of plastic takeout containers I post them on facebook market place for free and I always come across someone who can make use of them and picks them up ! 😊

Can you share the brand of the pants you are wearing in this video....I'm looking for some this style but I would like ones with a little stretch...what material are these? They don't look very stretchy.

Great video and great selection of ministry books! :) What would you recommend for someone one with a large amount of books? I have quite a few, too many to display in one room (that isn't a library room). I prefer physical books to e-books. Should I try to have them all on shelves? Box a certain amount of them up? Maybe ditch certain ones for e-book versions? Thanks!

Hi there, I just wanted to ask what kind of dog do you have? Thank you.

Aww I was hoping you would give advice on how to declutter sentimental items.. like how to decide what/how much to hold onto. I have things from my great-grandmother that I really don't know how to go through.. she died, so I'm struggling with what I should keep.

Please tell me where you got the beautiful shirt you have on in this video!

To most people, minimalism means white walls, a green plant and a MacBook

Where did you get your top? I love it♡

I just got my own place and trying to declutter now before my grandparents move in during June. Books and educational items (like forna classroom) are my greatest weakness and so hard! Any ideas?

how do u feed ur pup w low waste in mind?

What kind of dog do you have? He‘s cute

I get really brutal with myself because I want to have in my mind a hotel room in my house so when I walk into my house it's like going into a hotel room

Halo....what is the breed of dog you have..she /he is so beautiful..my daughters want to have a puppy.m

I stopped bringing things in just because it was on sale and I stop taking something into the house just because it was free or someone gave it to me because I was afraid to hurt their feelings. When I go through something in my house the things that I want and that I need I will put it in the box and whatever is left in the cupboard I will look at the cupboard and say to myself these are the things I don't want so what I do is put them in a box and throw them out or give them away. So it's just the opposite I don't put something in a box that I don't want because that confuses the brain your brain needs to use reverse psychology in order to make it work

Hello Christine! What Facebook groups do you recommended :-) Really want to be plugged into a healthy community

Not the SQL cookbook!

Paper work.😫😭 It never ends!

To buy something you really want to know if you need it and for what time🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I don't like anything that is showing on the counter or on the shelves or in bookcases I don't like anything that indicates any sort of clutter on the outside on the counter I like to put everything away so there's nothing on the counter and there's no bookcases for people to look at and have all this clutter in the mind. If there's two people on the house so should only be two plates to bowls to Forks two knives. I have one set of sheets I don't have two. That is a waste of space and it's impractical. I used to have several different blankets I only have two one for the winter such as a quilt and a light one for the summer. I don't have any throw pillows on my couch because that's a distraction for me it's something else to handle. I used to have several pictures on my wall and I looked at it and said this is clutter to the mind now I only have one picture and that picture makes me feel happy. I can't stand looking at a cupboard that has layers from the front to the back. You should be able to open your cupboard and that glance without moving at thing without searching for anything. And see exactly what you have in front of you. If you can't find what's in front of you as soon as your eyes going to the cupboards then you got way too much you're hoarding.

Hi Chris, I just wanted to know why are you religious, if it is your own decision or if it is because of a family tradition, thanks.

if you only own 5 items, and 1 is a plant, then at least take care of that plant wtf. edit: get that poor dog some toys

Please do not just throw away the stuff you declutter, I am not sure why many people tell others to do this. try selling it first, if it does not sell reduce the price. if it still does not sell offer it for free to someone. there are many online local facebook groups in most areas to sell stuff or to give away for free. as a last resort donate it to a 2nd hand store.
