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.

“The only people who get upset when you set boundaries are those who benefitted from you having none." So true! It helps me to tell people "I have a tendency to overcommit, so can I check my schedule and get back to you?" Their response helps me gauge their graciousness (or lack thereof), which sometimes makes my answer very easy! I have no time for entitled people but will happily go out of my way for kind, reciprocal souls. : - ) ❤

I’ll have to look into affirmations. It always sounded silly to me, but I guess replacing my morning routine of asking myself what’s the use of even getting out of bed with telling myself that I have something to contribute to my workplace and to my family would probably be a much better use of my time.

The book 'Atomic Habits' was really helpful in me figuring out how to be consistent with some daily resistance training. I do my makeup every morning. Sounds strange, but in between reps, I do my makeup, lol. And I walk during my coffee and lunch break at work so that's 45 minutes of walking a day that I really enjoy, especially after sitting at a computer

Similar to your downtime I just read in a book about the importance of "wasting time" with others. It's time for bonding and just relaxing without any agenda. As a very organized and focused person, I just loved the decadent sound of "wasting time" and am trying to incorporate this idea into our family life. Such as saying to my kids-- let's go waste some time together this afternoon. And then going off on a walk or hike. Because truly, what is life without a little "wasted" time? The fact is that the "waste" is actually the fruit of your labors.

What a great video! I am an introvert too. But I know now how to distance myself from toxic relationships. I really believe that we all need to take better care of ourself, without any guilt or shame.

I love this video! So many valuable lessons and ideas. I now realise that my morning coffee on my couch isn't time wasting, it's self care!

This came at the perfect time! My mental health is so bad right now because I had no boundaries and let people take advantage of me.

I would love to see a video on how to get family members (especially my husband) on board with decluttering. He keeps EVERYTHING because he bought it. I don't know how to get him and some of my kids to see how all their stuff is negatively impacting their mental health because I can see it. Thank you for all the helpful videos.

Being an introvert and a minimalist, i totally agree with all the points you mentioned and i followed them all as well.

My chiropractor asked to use me as an example on his website of my positive changes in my pain and body, he says it’s a big result of my positive affirmations as well as eating healthier and focusing on self care. 😊

Self care is essential, I am going through a similar experience. Removing mental blocks, making healthier meal choices, mindful eating. Thank you your wisdom has helped me to refocus 🙏

I 👀 yesterday, commenting today.❤ very good video. I especially agree with meal planning- I do a fast simple menu and online grocery shopping each Sunday. I concentrate on simple meals with less processed foods.

Lynn here I love my coffee alone and looking at my tree outside of my senior apartment. My husband gets up an hour later. Love my hour alone

[elisamacarneirofragoso]

I'm very communicative, meaning that I can express my ideas well in a confident way (not shy); BUT I'm a introvert, I do NOT feel energized by people, I feel drained. One very important habit that I apply daily is meditation. I meditate 5-10 min in my lunch hour and this completely change my day. I used to feel so drained that I become grumpy and honestly a hard person to be around. Now I make time to "recharge" in small breaks during the day. I also meditate during walks, not listening to any music, just the nature, is also revitalizing.

Wow I love that quote about boundaries! I feel guilty about saying no and this really helps put it in perspective 😊

The swan shot - SO beautiful! Thank you for that as well as your good advice!

I saw it yesterday and can see it today too

This is so great! I loved these tips and the last one is my favourite one as well. I love the idea of simplifying these habits and not putting any more pressure on ourselves to have a perfectly balanced diet or to be the fittest person ever (aspiring to taking more walks around the neigbourhood vs being a gym addict has worked well for me). Another thing is that I hate that most people associate "self-care" with products that are specifically marketed towards us, instead of actions we can take to build a better life.

I love these tips. As a young mom of 2 under 4... I put myself last every day. Trying to minimize so I can have more time in my day
