Why Less is More | The hidden costs of owning too much

In a world that constantly pushes us to want more, do more, and own more — I’ve found freedom in choosing less.

In this video, I’m sharing the simple yet powerful ways I’ve embraced the idea of less is more — from choosing experiences over things, reducing clutter to find peace, and reducing decision paralysis to saving money, letting go of comparison, and making more time for what truly matters.

Whether you’re exploring minimalism for beginners, looking for simple living tips, or just trying to create more peace in everyday life — I hope this video resonates with you.

✨ Let me know in the comments — what’s one small way you’ve embraced “less” in your life?

As minimalist myself I always get bad anxiety watching creators encouraging to consume without thinking about the consequences or the effects on nature that we are already facing and on the other hand it’s always so so soothing to hear your thoughts on slow life, Shreya! Keep growing ✨

[Anupamakiran]

I have been a minimalist for more than 10 years.At such a young age you have such clarity of thought. Stay true to yourself and do not get swayed by social pressures. Stay blessed!!!

[Missriyaaa]

Wowwww finally an Indian influencer making videos on this topic❤❤❤

[PharmHabits]

So true, less things to do, more time we have for ourselves 😊

[manormahomecreations]

Hi dear... it's such needful video for me at that moment where i m feeling stuck with my own thoughts...not to earn money because i m just a homemaker... feeling i m not worthy because i m not able to earn money and spending more comparatively to feel accomplished...😊 But your words are really helpful to understand that less is more..❤❤

[Lazybird-xx]

So beautifully articulated. All these are so important and am glad that content creators are ensuring such topics are talked about. More power to you.

[Sassygal-Bharat]

Joy of missing out…JOMO… I like this new term really innovative and contented in itself.❤

[urvashimota]

OMG, I don’t have words to say how much we relate

We shifted to another city and I have clothes in my wardrobe which are just countable with fingers. Damn! It’s so easy to choose clothes. I select my clothes for outing sooner than my husband 😅

21st March I deleted UPI app from my phone and I started paying cash for all my needs.
I kno what I am spending!!

[Suruchiee]

I needed this video <3. I wish I had 5% percent of thought this video has in my 20s. Collected numerous bags, shoes, makeup, decors... only to realize I don't need them all. Specially it is too hard when shifting cities. I now realize the time, effort and finances spent on unnecessary items are just a waste. Less is more !

[anaghabhatco]

Your content is so soothing and so calming. I love how you shoot and edit. It is giving me major ideas and inspiration to shoot my content (now that I plan to make more creative vlogs) and I love your voiceovers too.
