Coming back to this video for my own needs (need it basically every week). But again it surprises me that this video doesn't have a million views, it surely has that potential.
Early on into the video, I left a thumbs up and a happy face. Later in the video I had to delete that and say, this was really deep and hits home. Ty for sharing. 🙏🙂
Hi Mia, thanks for sharing. I’m looking at the table the round one where did you get it? I know you had it in your previous video and I see that you still have it ❤tfs
All the best videos feature animals in my opinion. Charlie is gorgeous. Nothing seems weird to me. People who don't question how we live and why are weird. You living intentionally and doing what works for your family is by far the more normal.
This time I didn’t get a notification for this video 😢. Your house looks great and you used the space wisely. My house is smaller than yours but I think yours is more practical. The thing is that when I moved into this apartment I started as a kind of a hoarder and bought a lot of cupboards to put all that stuff in and spent a lot of money on it. Now I’m already sick for years, not able to work anymore and have not much money, but most of my linoleum is laid around all the cupboards so it’s impossible to throw them out although they are pretty empty. But I live alone in the apartment so I don’t take up anybody’s space. The cleaning of everything is just the problem 😅.
Beautiful home. I recently decluttered so much at my place and find it has left me feeling less anxious and to me it feels more "open". People ask where did my "stuff" go. That's just it, it was stuff
I like that your daughter is a maximalist. :) Except that I don’t know what a maximalist is! But I love that she has her own mind and way and path and that she does her own. 😊 Shows you are a healthy family! 😊
I agree, 100%, with the photo idea. Whether it’s a photo of yourself, or your space, the photo tells truths that we don’t see for ourselves (or in the mirror!) It’s also helpful when you are thinking about getting your house ready for resale. That subtle warm color on your wall. Might read very yellow in a photo. And photos determine how many people come to walk through your house. Houses are pre-screened on the Internet, so it’s a very good idea to pay attention to what your house looks like in photos if you own it and have interest in selling it at any time… Or if you just wanna be ready, if circumstances suddenly change and you HAVE to sell quickly, And might not have a lot of money to put into preparing it.
I would imagine that the people that did not already on university mugs already perceived that they were a waste of money, potential clutter, etc. And that’s why they weren’t interested in paying much of anything for them. Much, if anything, for one. 🤷🏻♀️
It sucks that you had such a horrific injury to force the reflection time that led you to your decision to cut back. I hope you heal quickly. I love your content so I would rather have less than none at all. ❤
So here's the thing...there are ENTIRE country's that live this way..With only the things they love & need.I think America is such a consumer driven country,that minimalism is not as common. I live in New Zealand & MOST of us live this way.We spend our time outdoors LIVING...experiences & watching as the world turns. Storage units,multiple bathrooms,overloaded schedules,etc..just isn't done here💁♀️ Disclaimer: this isn't a criticism of any kind- more an observation❤
I always enjoyed minimalism, and it helped a lot when I took my family 8000 kilometres away to break free from russian terrorist regime. Now I can fit ALL our belongings in 6 suitcases and enjoy outer and inner freedom
This is brilliant! Looks soo calm and relaxed without the starkness, empyness that some homes have. I think sometimes that is what people think is minimalism. The crisp white walls with nothing on and no plants or anything cosy. You are a true inspiration of minimalism 👌😘
This video resonated so much with me, thank you! I feel your strains with creativity and quality over quantity! I tell my perfectionist-self that mistakes are okay but when it’s time to edit, I struggle with perceived perceptions from others. In the grand scheme of it, content creation should be enjoyable, and some times we just need a break (not a broken ankle kind of break)🥴 You know what I mean! Take care, I will still be here🥰
I grew up in a family of 6. Two parents and 4 kids (3 girls + 1 boy) in a single storey, 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and 1 toilet. Eventually my parents built a single carport. Back in the day, we ate in the kitchen and the loungeroom was separate. We did have a medium sized backyard with 2 dogs, cat, pigeon coop and a free roaming duck. Surprisingly the cat and dogs left Daffodil the duck alone. Girl clothes were handed down. Between the 4 kids, we had a handful of toys. We didn't need them because we played with each other, our pets and the swings set in the back yard. My parents only had the essential furniture. The luxury was the one TV. My mum did love her wall art and living pot plants and l've inherited her inclination in those aspects of decor. Your current home is more spacious than the home l grew up in. So no, your home isn't weird.
It's also the fact that the items are blended, matching or complementary, and a common unifying design theme, which seems to have roots in Japanese or similar styles like Muji store. Where the object is simplified to it's essential function but not reduced in quality or esthetic. Most folks (I mean 'me') live among a degenerate & disparate collection of random styles & designs, clashing & jarring. Plus variously decaying...!!
Can definitely appreciate the invisible & sustained effort to achieve and maintain a home at such a level. Multiplied by each human, mini human, furry friend etc. And the video production quality matches it! Even the pooch looks like a Hollywood model, cute but dignified, can see the thought bubble "I ain't pedigree, I'm better than that!"
Thank you for the tour of your lovely and elegant home. Nothing "weird" about a minimalist family of five. I think that's a great lifestyle you're teaching your children, even if one is a maximalist! And what does "weird" even mean? 😉 I love all of the decor and colors throughout and couldn't help noticing that even Charlie matches the color palette. 😊I hope that ankle isn't giving you too much trouble.
Re perfectionism: From Todd Henry, I learned GETMO... Good Enough to Move On. This mantra has so helped me and perhaps it will be useful to you. Take care❤
I still keep my oldest child (he is turning 10 years in January) first ultrasound (9 weeks)! I took a pic but I couldn't get myself to throw it😢 I'm throwing the doctor's note that came with🎉
Keep it! I think I still have mine for Chloe. If you don’t have a ton of other clutter then you should always have space for the things that are precious ❤️
Your video on Atomic Habits helped me realize that I may not be able to do a full bathroom declutter all in one go, like some people can... but can I put that curling iron I haven't used in a year into the donate box by my front door? Yes I can. And even going at that pace, just a few items a day, still accumulates into major change. And 1% per day = 37x better after a year. Slowly, Im building those decluttering muscles!
17:29 Can confirm, DON'T WAIT to do your bucket list things. Don't say <I'll travel/ do hobby xyz / etc when I retire> A. You may NEVER retire. B. You might not make it that long. C. You will be a different person then, different needs & desires.. D. You won't have the energy you did at 20, 30, 40 etc. It's not linear decline. And for SURE won't stay the same, regardless of nutrition, fitness or little pink pills. You have to enjoy the journey NOW, and every day when you can.
Possibly the wrong time to say this, but seeing your lovely & substantial channel content, wondering why you don't have a million subscribers. Not through effort but some switches you can throw at RU-vid HQ. But for NOW, yes a small kid, a broken leg, YES just put YOU first. Actually pretty much everyone in this demographic have a treadmill life, and going on vacation is basically a kind of sanitarium visit to prop up an unsustainable schedule!! In channel terms, I would see anything about you or by you, minimalist content is very limiting & many topics from your lifestyle & intellect would have intrinsic value. Also, please stop quoting James Freskin Clear. YOU have just as much insight.
Thanks Jon. I really appreciate your ongoing support of me and my channel here. The great thing about books, in general, is that they give you something to quote besides yourself lol.
I was thinking the same about going to every other week for RU-vid videos I upload for similar reasons. I went on a long road trip and it messed with my weekly schedule. I can always go back to more if I want!
I can relate so much to your video as I fell twice in the past week, and ended up in the hospital with a minor spinal fracture. I have many years on you, but I am only figuring out lately that volume and perfectionism are not things to sacrifice your health for - both physical and mental. Thank you for this timely video, and I am sending you healing vibes.
More limiting than painful. Requires slow & careful movement. No bending, twisting, or lifting, so rest has been forced upon me. Actually a good thing giving me time to think about priorities.
So sorry to hear about your ankle---but WOW, what a huge revelation to come of it! As someone who also creates content as part of marketing my coaching practice, I TOTALLY RELATE to the pressure to produce. Yes, consistency matters--but heart and depth matter more. And I'm so excited for you to get the rest and space you need... fwiw, you seem very at ease and peaceful in this video, so you must be on to something. And re: the perfectionism thing... in my coaching practice, it is the SINGLE BIGGEST BARRIER I see stand between women and getting what they want (professionally, in life, work-life balance, motherhood, etc.) It's crippling and I am so happy that you've made the conscious decision to fight it. -Sincerely, another 40-year old trying her best
Aww, thank you so much for these insightful comments, Meg! I totally agree with what you said about perfectionism. I wouldn't consider myself a "perfectionist", but I definitely do struggle in some areas with accepting "good enough" :)
