6 things I QUIT to SIMPLIFY my life

Today I'm sharing some of the things I QUIT doing to simplify my life. In many ways I've found that subtracting from my life has opened up more space for what I truly desire. Let me know in the comments how you've found *more* with less in your own life!

The two best things I've done for myself have been to stop watching the news and delete social media.

I've actually just started taken more photos of my parents when we're together. I realized I don't have many of them and I want to have these when they're gone.

1. Documenting every moment
2. Social media
3. Trying to do it all
4. Resisting season of life (family, work)
5. starting week without plan
6. cling to past versions

I deleted my Instagram recently because it was super overwhelming and i kept comparing myself to others! I have already finished two books by now i read instead of scrolling for hours

minimalism means focus on the most important things in your life and optimize fulfillment in them. You can have what you choose, but you can not have everything. so pick wisely how you use your time.

[Returntotheworld]

Got to say as a man closing in on 50 now and on this journey too it’s really heartwarming to see someone your age waking up to this fact and trying to share this message to your generation.

[tpar]

The “wanting to please an older version of myself” thing is so real… I often get myself planning for things I do not have the same enthusiasm as before…

[FlukasMcDoogle]

I am far from a minimalist, and probably never will be. But I've definitely started becoming more minimal. Wifey isn't, and that's ok. But quitting social media has been one of the best things in my life. It's still ongoing.

I just deleted insta and tiktok from my phone a week ago and I'm still in the phase that I'm uncomfortable with the time and space that gives. But I'm slowly getting used to it

[NateSail]

Great points, started minimalism 3 years ago and my life is exponentially better. I too feel better when I reduce and if something is not a hell yes it’s a no. Meditation, yoga, and less distractions is immensely beneficial.

[modestMousse]

"Do not disturb" mode is fantastic for helping me stay focused on whatever I'm doing right now. It lets me choose WHEN I want to actually engage with my phone, rather than the other way around.

[sianefer-ptah]

Over the last few years, I've edited a lot of things. No more old stuff and limited wardrobe, cut off social media in 2018 (except YouTube, which is next)... began studying stoicism, and practice yoga twice per day.

It really makes time slow down, which is what we all want 👌

As a new mom struggling to find herself again, I love the way you phrased looking at it as “seasons” at the beginning I tried to do it all as well and as a perfectionist it was difficult to cope with the fact that it’s impossible to do it all despite what social media tells you. Thank you for this video!

[faithcritchfield]

I have more joy, peace, and enjoyment of the things I own by reducing said belongings. About a year ago I gathered up everything I owned and went through it all one item at a time, asking myself with each thing "is this beautiful *and* functional for my life right now?" I reduced so much unnecessary clutter and now I spend so much more time just enjoying life rather than cleaning our tidying my stuff.

[dudekylin]

I deleted a lot of old photos and videos and realized I was seeking validation by posting a lot. I wasn't living in the moment and didn't enjoy events. Now I barely take any pictures or videos and try to be present and enjoy the moment.

[sietiehicks]

I’ve never had multiple social media apps but I deleted Instagram almost two years ago now and my life is so much better for it! There’s less pressure to document things, creating perfect content, and I’m so much more content with the life that I’m living and every experience that comes into MY path, and not focusing on what I don’t get to do/experience

[marshaphonda]

I do not own a "smart"-phone.
So whenever I feel like taking pictures I would bring my camera.
If I want to watch videos or if I want to write e-mails I would use my laptop.
This really makes me fully enjoy every moment and it makes my life so much easier.
I have no whatsapp, no facebook, no instagram either.
People could call me at home or write me an e-mail. 🙂

[cristherbadilles]

I love this. My family do not understand how I want to quit social media. They are so toxic and demands replies immediately and telling me instead to forget about each other. I just wanted to be productive and also keep some time to myself to protect my mental health.

[DesertRockCoJewelry]

I have found so much more clarity and peace with simplifying and having less

[jenniferfils-aime]

I can`t stress this enough: TAKE TIME FOR YOURSELF AFTER BIRTH! LET OTHERS TAKE CARE OF YOU! You need it and it won`t be forever. You don`t need to find yourself: you are who you always were, just now with a beautiful new addition! Living life a different way. Find the beautiful in it and DON`T PUT PRESSURE ON YOURSELF. LOVE TO ALL THE MAMAS!
