"Do what is within your means." I love this.

When I move into my own place, I can't wait to keep it clutter free. I only want to keep what is absolutely necessary.

I agree, there is no such thing as the _"ultimate state of minimalism"._ It's a constant journey, and it's good to be gentle with yourself, as your hobbies and preferences change with time. Ultimately, it's about having a certain mindset. Applying the minimalist philosophy to your everyday life. Thanks for the inspiration!

I find minimalism starts with how we think and sometimes how we grew up. A lot of my childhood and experiencing financial constraints has greatly influenced how I buy today, or more accurately, how little I buy today :) Thanks for sharing this video!

I love minimalist too. By see your room, your clothes, I knew that minimalist was your lifestyle and it is great! Thank you for making this video and remind me how beautiful minimalism 🤍

It gives me great comfort to be a maximumalist. You see, no matter how much I have there is never too much. I never have to worry or be concerned one bit about decluttering or getting rid of anything. It gives me great peace never having to concern myself whether I have too much or ever throwing anything away. Piles of goods puts me in a Zen state of contentment to "doing nothing and it all gets done."--Lao Tzu

Love the start with *why*! It’s my fundamental question for making decisions and always grounds my choices in good intentions 👍🏼 Glad you are back and looking forward to the series!

[tracimorrow]

I always look forward to your videos! Definitely interested in a series. Thank you 🙏🏻

Always an inspiration in minimalism, visuals and life in general. Thank you Christine! 💛

I'm totally addicted to the minimalist lifestyle, even when hiking the Appalachian trail other hikers tell me I'm a extreme version of minimalism. I own about a small backpack of essentials and even that I continue to attempt to remove the need to carry. I also walk around as my main mode of transport, and live nomadic and outside in most situations if possible. It's very addictive how easy life is with less, awesome job and thanks for sharing.

Your Sunday videos are always a pick me up and a joy to watch. I’ll be keeping an eye out for those question posts.

[darrylbrian]

thank you again for the consistent boost in motivation 😊

Thank you Christine for that video. What helps me the most during decluttering is to make a picture of a thing that I feel attached to and then to throw it away. So I can "have" the thing not having it really. Then I keep all the pictures in "SOUVENIR" folder on my PC and revisit when I feel like to. All the best, God bless.

Hi from Turkey Christine. Thank you for your all videos. They help me to change my lifestyle. I don’t want to shopping anymore. I have donated most of our stuff. But it is very hard to handle with the others says and the idea that “what if i need in the future”.

[vivianelanthier]

For many years, I have stopped buying gifts to my friends. Instead, I have our local florist deliver a bouquet of flowers to them. My friends love flowers, and at least they're don't end up with a gift they don't want that clutters their home.

[rnhtflf]

Very helpful, recently started decluttering, thanks again for the tips. I ❤ your videos.

[magaliechetrit]

@ 5:50 you give some advice that was such a good reminder for me. And I always forget about the option of renting something! Especially powertools.

[dani_isla]

I love your videos Christine! You really inspire me to become more of a minimalist again. I will also order your cookies some time soon!😍

after i moved out of home, my goal was to travel, work, and staying in one place for 6 months and move on. that was a goal I never fulfilled. look back after 40 years wish i had that as my end goal. my end goal now is to do what I originally had in my heart. we can stop doing what makes us happy. please don't wait until your too old. I now believe only having 2 of each item except for clothes which i feel we should have 8 pieces of tops 4 of pants, two dresses, two pants. two shoes and two runners. you arrive with nothing leave with nothing.
