Today I go over a few things I do to live more simply.
Hey everyone. My name is Nicholas and I make videos most about my experiences with minimalism, frugal living, tech, and things of that nature 🌱. I like to make content that feels like you're having a coffee with a friend ☕. So if that sounds good to you consider subscribing and I'll see you in the next one ✏️.

Great Video! One thing that helps me personally is journaling. All these tips are very useful, but sometimes you don't even realize when you stray away from the path you want to be on. If you take about 20 minutes per day to write about your thoughts and feelings, it gets way easier.

Great advice to read at night ... it's a super way to relax and get your head out of negative or anxiety inducing thoughts and into stories or history or anything else. I also sometimes read if I wake up in the night to stop my mind racing away. I also think that caring for plants is very restive and I'm quite sure there are physiological benefits too!

I love using my imagination to comprehend what I am reading, over watching a movie. Although I love watching movies too on weekends with some snacks.

Great tips again Reading - something I’ve been working on for sure. Avoiding news - after the last few years I really need to do that more often Listen to body - for sure this is something else I need to get on top of. Sleeping I’m managing a lot better with nowadays. Don’t check phone early - already been doing this for 2 years now, helped no end by ditching social media back then too. Pick up one outdoor hobby - started that too this year, started doing things in the garden, something I’d never done before. Loved this video buddy, really great shot and really great advice. Your doing really amazing on here and it’s great seeing your journey.

I too resist listening to my body when it wants to take an afternoon nap. My resistance comes from the fact that a nap does not sound as interesting as whatever I am focused on at that time. Perhaps I should arrange to be doing some boring activity mid afternoon . I thought of a few things I could be doing, but I realize the next wall of resistance is my need to complete my tasks. I am going to give this some more thought. I need a good prep-nap activity. Any suggestions?

How do relationships work for you? I feel like I need to cut out a chunk of people around me, given they seem to be ‘fair weather friends’ only since I started being more focused or meaningful in my day to day. It’s a step by step process for me, but would probably struggle if I were to meet someone I want to be with but they’d be an opposite ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's your prerogative to not watch the news. Originally only rich white men who owned land were allowed to vote in the US because the founding fathers thought no one else would take the time to become informed voters. You have the freedom to prioritize your own needs but also think about giving back to society.
