I like the fact that you include emotional minimalism into your videos. I am in the process of decluttering some 'friendships' that are, in fact, very one sided. Upon reflection, they expect me to do all the traveling to meet up, they expect me to do all the listening to their problems ( I long ago learnt to be quiet and not tell them my problems, which have always been greater than theirs - they just dont want to hear it!). They always poke fun at my minimal wardrobe ("Oh, I see you are wearing that again, purple does suit you though"). Etc etc. It sounds harsh and uncaring to say that Im decluttering some people, but they ' no longer serve' me and i find myself allowing them to make me feel unworthy and miserable. So i am limiting contact.

So much wisdom in one so young. The only thing more impressive than your sensible perceptive is that you are willing to share and teach your philosophy, selflessly helping those around you. Thank you for all that you do for this community.

My most preferred benefit of my (very extreme!) minimalist lifestyle is the high level of independence.

This is a beautiful presentation, Seve. Thank you.

My journey to minimalism began one day when a workman was installing a new floor in my living room. We had to move out all the furniture, of course. The new floor was laid when I was away at work. It was finished by the time I came home that evening. I walked into a beautiful empty room and I loved it. It felt so simple and peaceful. The open space was so much nicer than all the stuff that had been in it. The house felt happy. I thought to myself, “This house really wants to be empty!”

I sat on the bare new floor and began imagining how I would furnish it and how I would live in it if I could do anything I wanted—anything the house wanted. I found I already owned the few things I wanted to put in my dream room. I moved them in and gradually got rid of everything else. Then I did the same with all the other rooms. Then with all aspects of my life.

I used to live in a normal (read: thoughtless) house. I have kept a descriptive list of all the things I’ve gotten rid of in the last 15 years. It is thousands. Yet I still find things I don’t want any longer that I take to charity shops every few months. This now is the valuable and beautiful stuff I couldn’t let go of before now. I’ve become what I call an “essentialist”: I only keep what I actually use. This is, of course, not much. My “decor” consists of things I use. My bedroom looks like a monk’s cell—bed, bureau, lamp! Nothing else. I put a few plates and a bowl on my kitchen counter so it looks like someone lives here. I have hung my favorite Oriental carpet on the wall and it is the only artwork in my home. All the other walls and floors are bare and I like it that way.

I love my home and all the empty space. I try not to let my ego be proud, though. I catch myself wanting others to see how simply I live, hoping they will think I’m amazing. I don’t live like this just to brag to my friends. So, along with my simplicity I am trying to practice humility. This means I am learning more spirituality and searching for deeper meaning and deeper experiences. When you don’t have a cluttered mind or a cluttered home, there isn’t much left but spirituality.

My only problem is that I haven’t found anyone local who shares my same interests. I don’t know where they are. That is why I enjoy finding people like you on the internet. I enjoy your videos.

Simplifying your life clears mental clutter and allows space for what truly matters. In letting go, we find freedom and clarity

Embracing minimalism aligns with Lao Tzu's wisdom: 'The more that one has, the more one is in need.'

Excellent video!
For me different types of minimalism help a lot in many different ways,
Minimalist design in Apps, Furniture, etc helps reduce the feeling of clutter and makes everything feel more open and airy,
(I like scandinavian/japandi furniture design and monochrome apps with single uses and no extra tabs for example)
Minimalist spending habits helps by getting rid of finance related stress, because you can always be sure you'll get through the month if you never just spend to spend,
Then there is just owning less things, which similar to design reduces feeling of clutter and make you feel like you can breathe, but also the energy required to find things you need because everything has a dedicated spot and you do not need mass storage solutions to toss excess items into.

In the end I am a minimalist specifically because I felt like I've had enough stress for a lifetime already, and just want to have a simple life with my closest staying comfy together.

Gosh! Being a minimalist or a colector, you need to make money anyway. There is a limit for Minimalism and this is personal. It starts with the amount of food your body requires, differently of your neighbour's needs. It's personal in all aspects.

My husband is really good at this. Before it's really hard for me to understand why he is frugal. I look at the positive side then it makes me realise that he is making a super mind discipline. And I am now praying to discipline my self specially I am an emotional shopper. I would find what to do if ever I got bored. Thank you so much for your video really helpful and peaceful everything! ❤

This is the BEST video you have ever made! In fact, I'm going to share it on my FB. I have shared with only a few people about my minimalism journey. I feel that most people won't understand, and so it's not something I've shared with my Facebook world! But I believe it's life changing! How you've laid it out here in this video is so perfect!!! Thank you so much! You are helping people to live in the present and live their best most peaceful life possible!

Minimalism long term is definitely about self discipline and adapting to changing needs. Thanks for the inspiration.

Loved this! It was a great reminder of the path to a more minimal life, which was what I needed now, here I am once again surrounded by my own impulsive plans to “be better” (I think, don’t know anymore). Will start again to declutter and minimize my belongings, I need that peace back 😅
