I Think I've Made a MISTAKE with EXTREME MINIMALISM.

Minimalism.

In an act of sincere & earnest intention, I have turned adverts off for this video…Minimalism.

I can see your authenticity, it seems very obvious to me and I enjoy the realness! Some people are just very critical. To be honest, I’m not even a minimalist, let alone an extreme minimalist, and I love your content. I found your channel after searching minimalism for inspiration. It’s inspiring to me because I’ve been overwhelmed with stuff so I’ve been watching minimalist videos and slowly decluttering over the course of the last 2 years. It started when our basement flooded and all that junk and stuff had to be thrown out or washed/aired out. I was embarrassed when we called the company to come drain our basement and the workers were having to move all the overwhelming amount of items around. It was a real turning point for me and listening and watching your process has helped me with my own journey of simply decluttering. Right now for me it’s about being less overwhelmed by clutter by having less items. Your content has been sooo helpful with considering what we truly need and being intentional with purchases. Thank you for your videos and for being authentic, I look forward to watching your future videos! :)

Awww ❤ Lydia, thank you for your vulnerability and truth. It’s lovely knowing your name. I don’t just watch your videos for the minimalism aspects, I truly appreciate your personality and sweetness that you bring through in your work. It’s like hanging out with a good friend and having a good chat.

Haters ultimately hate themselves but want to strike out to what they are seeing, instead of turning the light on themselves and asking “Why do I feel the need to shame or attack someone else!”

Sending you so much love. 🙌🏻❤️🌈
Looking forward to your new channel too. ❤

I LOVE Your channel and Your videos. Please ignore the haters, they're everywhere, there is plenty of hating comments under the kindest videos in the whole youtube. Don't pay attention to them. There is plenty of people that watch your videos, getting inspiration from you everyday and usually those people (like me) never leave comments but maybe we should be. I had a huge instagram few years ago and I deleted it because of haters. I feel like I let down all of the other people that were supporting me. We should just ignore them.
And I love to watch any minimalism videos, both extreme and not extreme. Your content is amazing, please do not change! :) Greetings from Maidenhead xxx

Lydia you have a beautiful soul. Yours is my favorite YouTube channel and yes, I found you because of your extreme minimalist videos but have stayed because I found inspiration and courage to try something new as well as to keep going on my own journey. Your videos are calm and soothing to my soul and I look forward to each new video and am excited for your new channel. Simply put, thank you for sharing yourself, your heart and your life with us.

What is the problem people have? I mean you watch youtube videos because you like them and get inspired or you don´t! Ofcourse you make videos for others to enjoy! The ones that don´t enjoy them or have problem with their ego they will just have to go somewhere els.

I’ve followed for a while but I don’t think I’ve ever commented before, but now seems a good time to chip in. I’m sorry you are getting such negativity from haters. I think extreme minimalism is one of those subjects that is by its nature polarising, because it’s very challenging to the status quo. Your haters are probably just triggered by their own insecurities and find it easier to be mean than to do any self inquiry. I enjoy your content and when I see “extreme minimalism” in a video title I click on it because I’m fascinated by it and find it aspirational. I have always found your process-oriented videos interesting and real. I hope you keep doing your extreme minimalism videos.

[leastidyworld]

Screw what anyone thinks, you have a minimalism/decluttering channel so there will be minimalism content and titles as well. Hope you will enjoy content creation more in the future.

Hi Lydia, please, please ignore the haters. People have a choice to watch or not.Your channel is great, you have a purpose, a goal; travel. You’ve done nothing wrong. You are an ‘extreme minimalist’, please do not change for people who do not agree with you, understand you. Your 14 item challenge was enjoyable; an experiment. Believe it or not, some people live this way. Like others here, your channel has helped me a lot. I too have been decluttering for several years. It helped me to understand my discontent with having too much stuff around me.
You are growing, changing, all the things you want to put on your new channel, I am happy to see on this channel. You do what makes you happy…I’ll be watching.🌺🌸🌼💐PS you don’t need forgiveness…💖please do not be hard on yourself.

I have absolutely loved watching your journey!! I love the challenges you do! It inspires me to play along and do my own challenges. I’m sorry that people have put you down. Just know not everyone views you negatively. Auditing our lives was such a brilliant idea! I will continue watching and recommending your channel!

[doubleleterlady]

I've been watching your channel for a while now, but I don't always comment on videos. I really recommend you turn off notifications for comments and only check comments maybe once a week or so just to get a feel for how people are reacting to your videos. Pay most attention to the comments with the most likes. And remember that some people go around making negative comments because they have nothing better to do in their life. They just have a sad negative life and they don't have a better way of dealing with it other than spewing hate and negativity all over the internet and all over the people in their lives and you shouldn't take everything to heart. I do hope you continue to make the videos you want to make. I am enjoying your path to extreme minimalism, but if you want to make other types of content I'm here for that as well.

[sarahnalliannan]

Your videos are awesome ! You are so genuine in your approach to minimalism and I love the tips that you give, the easy going way you talk on your videos and make them funny and exciting and you make it a point to ask for feedback and customise your content to suit all your viewers Don’t stop making them, they are lovely 😊

[ttlptju]

Love seeing the process, because I'm going through the process myself :) It takes time, and trying out different methods can help us to see how we can continue to pare down possessions while still enjoying life. Mistakes can happen both ways, whether decluttering an item we actually need or purchasing one we don't. Life is not perfect, enjoy the experience! I enjoy trying out different exercises like wearing the same few items for weeks at a time. It helps to see how often things need to get washed, and how I feel about it. Your videos have been helpful for me :)

[LanaMinimalist]

Love ALL of your videos! Thank you for sharing and inspiring!

Your my fave You Tuber. I always love your content and I'm happy every time I see a new episode.You are a breath of fresh air. I log in every evening to watch you and a select few. Thank you Lydia for all you give us.🙂

[rayeof_light]

I love your videos. Sending you encouragement and love 💚💚 you're so genuine.

[hillareads]

I only just found your channel this week, but it's so clear how genuine you are! I'm probably pretty far from being a minimalist to people who want to be rigid about it, but I think it's unfair for people to question your personal definition of extreme minimalism. Everybody is on a different journey, and I feel like channels like yours are meant to inspire people. I know it's inspired me to reconsider some aspects of my life. 😊

[marieevil]

Thank you for your videos! I'm on a journey from minimalist to extreme minimalist and find a lot of food for thought, motivation and entertainment on your channel! 🙏
