12 'Normal' Things I QUIT to Level Up My Entire Life

Changing your life is just as much about the things that you QUIT as much as it is what you're doing on a daily basis. Today, I'm going to show you how to apply the "less is more" principle of simplifying your life and talk about the things I got rid of or stopped going to "level up" for a happier, richer, and better life.

ABOUT A TO ZEN LIFE
Along my journey to let go of 30 years of clutter, I accidentally became a minimalist and it was life-changing.

Before, I was an emotional hoarder with nothing but the clutter from lost loved ones — and $25,000 of debt — to my name. Now I have a beautiful home in Europe, a happy family, live debt-free, and — best of all — wake up to a life that I’m EXCITED to live every day.

Sometimes repetitive, mindless activities are good for our brains. Some of the most creative and intelligent people have come up with their best ideas when bored. I heard a neurologist give a talk about being concerned that people aren’t allowing their brains go into the bored, or wandering modes it needs. My best ideas and solutions come when I’m working in my yard, or unloading the dish washer. When I walk or exercise I never play podcasts or music. Letting my wander is one of the best things I do for myself. Our brains need a break.

Last year I had six months of sick leave due to depression and burnout. I wanted to change my life after years of mindless impulse buying, and found your channel at the perfect time. I hope you know how many lives you save with your videos, you certainly changed my life. I absolutely adore you, and I think i've watched almost every single one of your videos. I hope you and your family are well <3

I used to be greedy for my time. Driving, cleaning, chores I would listen to podcasts or at least music .
But one day realized I/my brain need that "useless" time just to rest, have random thoughts, relax and being mindful .
I haven't given up youtube .still consume lots of content, but sometimes take a break .
Just driving gently observing sky, , road, nature, other cars is good .
Doing cleaning and focusing on simple task feel good too.
I guess like in everything, we need a balance .

😂 As a self-acknowledged "girly-girl" who works for a sports charity, I'm in the opposite boat! I'm wearing dresses with my hair, makeup, and nails done while the other women are wearing shorts and tees with their hair thrown up in buns and no makeup. And you know what? It's perfectly fine. No one actually cares. We just are who we are. 😊

I just left a 26-year friendship. She became more and more demanding and more insulting. I feel so much better.

I like this concept of the joy of missing out. I am in my 40s and and have felt like I have missed out on a lot of things in life. I have mostly stayed away from social media my entire life but I decided to get an account to keep up with old family and friends and soon realized it was a one big place where everyone shows how wonderful their lives are and made me question my own life. I went back and deleted my account. I am back to being thankful for what I do have and the simple joys life brings me.

My first was a miscarriage too. I went to light duty as soon as I got pregnant again and left my job once my son was born. Best decision ever.

I really needed to hear tip 4. I’m 26 and married, and the past few years I’ve really struggled with feeling I need to be more feminine. I am not comfortable in dresses, I would much rather wear pants and a nice top. I hate the way fake nails feel, I’ve never had a pedicure or a wax of any kind and my past friends always used to tell me I should try to be more feminine, but I’m quite comfortable with how and who I am and my husband loves me the way I am too. ❤

I went away on a short vacation, came home and quit my toxic job. I am a reading specialist and love my students but the toxic bosses and coworkers made it a terrible place to work. My partner and friends are relieved and happy for me and I’m happy for me too.

[ajthamaxx]

8:26 this is excellent point because there is so much consumerism attached to “being feminine”.

[doriscassan]

Yes! JOMO! That happy feeling when you look at your calendar and there is nothing on it for some of the week!! Yay!

[jeannewhitney]

Love that you landed a "10 out of 10" man by being yourself 😂❤

[jenniferpulskamp]

I’m so sorry for your loss. Miscarriage is really hard emotionally and physically. I’ve had 4. I’m so glad you were able to have your boys. ❤

[jenniferpulskamp]

I absolutely love that you talked about not being more feminine. If that’s not us, that’s ok! I am authentically me and you are too. That’s cool.

Gaining this knowledge at a younger age is priceless. You’re way ahead of attaining peace and prosperity.

Honestly, after watching so many of your videos, I realized that some of what I consider clutter would be best rehomed. I enjoy crocheting dolls that look like the casts of TV shows, and there are a lot of them. They aren't small either.

I've been contacting people involved in the various shows, and just sent a bunch to the executive producer of one ❤ She's so happy and keeps them on her desk.

30 years in a career and been retired for a year now. Decluttering my entire world. Glad I found your channel.❤

So proud of myself that I went to a mall with my friend 2 days and ago. And bought nothing but a meal, that I ate at the moment and the next day. Even though we spent about 4 hours walking from shop to shop

[audreyhuggins]

After 10 years, I finally let go of a "friendship." I was the one who invited my so-called friend over for brunch, lunches, dinner parties, week night taco nights, I brought care packages and food when she hurt her ankle and never once did this friend ever invite me over, bring something or even so much as a card on my birthday. I took me so long to really understand and believe I was simply being used for food!
