5 decluttering tips for when you're done messing around. 😜

Decluttering was the tip of the iceberg for my personal growth and it's really wild to see that letting go of all that stuff, including the opinions of other people about me, my fears, and saying no more often led me to see value in myself. I feel like my story is only still just beginning but I can tell you confidently that that moment on when I decided to really commit to my personal growth and just see where it would take me and start having boundaries and the places that it's taken me so far past decluttering.

Just lost my house and have a month to get out. Getting rid of everything and trying out the van life. Have been having a hard time with donating things instead of selling them. I needed this video!

[JoPace-cr]

We have stored (aka ignored) so much thrifted and/or handed down stuff in our garage. We needed a home repair. I had one weekend to clear all that clutter for the workers to show up on Monday. There was no time to sell the stuff. Selling on Marketplace can be so time-consuming. We placed 99% of the stuff on the curb for free. A lady stopped by yesterday and gave me a gift card to a steakhouse as a thank you for all the items she was able to get for free from our pile. Her thoughtful gesture means more to me than any of that stuff ever could.

I was asked by a friend the other day if there is anything I regret getting rid of and naturally, without a second of delay, I said “no, there’s really not, I don’t even think I can remember the majority of what I have decluttered at this point”. Thank you Madi for all your inspiration, I’m so happy to have found your channel.

I sometimes play these videos over and over again! It sort of “imprints” the ideas into my brain and it helps me grow! ❤

I love that. "This is just stuff." People really hold on to their stuff like it is really important. . .when really, we can't take anything with us in death and all that matters are the relationships we form with others and the way we lived our lives. I also love how decluttering really does help us see God in such a pure way.
I have been trying to convince my parents to let me help them declutter their home with them, since they told me in December they celebrated living there for 50 years (and they've never had a garage sale or anything ever). My dad told me that they have paperwork in his garage from 1990. I was like, "Why do you have that?" He said, "I guess it is time I burn that stuff." I have my work cut out for me, but I have decluttered their bathroom and kitchen in the past.
I appreciate the things you said on this video. Thank you.

When my husband and I retied and moved away we decluttered our home, where we live now its clean and uncluttered so we have so much time to enjoy the countryside around us instead of cleaning. My mind feels so uncluttered too

[kerinac]

Your first point really got me thinking. I am always working on my home trying to decorate and redecorate and fix this and that up. My biggest reason for doing so is bc I am always trying to impress my mother-in-law and sister-in-law. They have these beautiful well organized home and are always buying new furniture and remodeling some room in their house. It’s me trying to keep up with the Jones’s. I don’t know why I do it to myself bc they hardly come to visit and when they do it seems like they just point out the things I should do. I didn’t realize that I’m trying to please them. It’s exhausting and expensive. So thank you for making that point. It really opened my eyes.

Its interesting to me that I get so much pushback from others about being so minimal. Some people ask me if I'm narcotic because my house isn't but its actually just minimal. Funny how things can be perceived... and annoying. Thanks for this great video!! You have been making me think about my holiday decor boxes.... those aren't necessary...

[ratherboutside]

Exactly what I’ve been practicing since the new year began. It began with decluttering stuff. Then that freed me up in so many ways and I made space for slowing down, being in nature, walking, yoga and creativity. We don’t need stuff. We need space to thrive.

[justathought]

I’m so tired of never having any empty surface areas . It’s gives me paralysis by analysis

[kristinakalas]

I watched this video 3 times & during the 3rd viewing I took notes. Your insight is remarkable. Honestly, I started watching your channel for the California vibes & aesthetic. I decluttered my home several years ago from watching The Minimal Mom. Now I watch your channel for the life lessons.

"It's better in the landfill than sitting in your house like a landfill." wow...100%...we're so willing to sacrifice our own comfort for the sake of doing what's "right".

[emeliefoster]

I was binge watching (again) your videos, and poof! A new one shows up. I’m only half way through this video and you’ve already made so many good points that make me feel like you’re talking directly to me. Thank you for your encouragement! ❤️

[lisahooper]

I paused this video, got rid of 10 books, then came back to finish it.

[taracasper]

I just found you and I already love you!!!! I just resigned from a position after 26 years. I am ready for a fresh start. During the past month at home (looking for a job), I have been decluttering and minimizing! I have watched lots of videos and gained lots of knowledge, but it all led me to you!! I can't wait to hear more from you!!!

[emilyisoutside]

I've watched a lot of your videos over the past six months (AND purchased your course) and by far this is the most electrifying yet. Your voice and messages are so powerful, thank you for sharing and for lighting the way! My life has truly changed thanks to your work.

[Riverwoman]

THIS is what i've been searching for. I've been so stuck for awhile now in my journey, spoke to my heart & where i'm at right now. Thank you ❤

[hannahbentson]

Yes & amen!! I love how you talked about just in case items especially kids toys/clothes for the “future”. That’s been something I’ve been working through and it’s made such a difference.

[dianacollazo]
