"Just remind yourself that you have paid enough."... enough of your money, enough of your time, enough of your space, enough of your emotions by keeping something you don't need, want or love. This thought really got to me.

@RonaldLBanks 3 года назад

I'm so glad this resonated with you Shirley! Keep growing and learning on your journey!

@helenaquin1797 3 года назад

Me too. It was like giving REAL permission, unlike some professionals who simpky state, 'I give you permission.' The two aren't the same.

@globalmuffin2 2 года назад

this resonated with me too, but in my particular situation I gained weight and the clothes don't fit anymore. I'd happily wear them, but they don't fit anymore. It's not that I don't like them. So it's not something to simply trash. And I don't have time to sell them. And I don't have the guarantee of tomorrow and I am thinking that I might get so poor that one day I might need to sell those clothes. I believe that throwing good things away it's a sin that will come and get you at some point.

@CeciliasMuse 2 года назад

@@globalmuffin2 Letting go of something doesn't have to mean turning it into trash (I agree, that should always be the last choice). Would it be an option for you to donate? Another idea: in my friend group we organise clothing swap parties. That way, you get to see how happy someone else is with your item, and how good/'right' it looks on them. It makes it so much easier to let go - fun even! And perhaps you'll find something beautiful that suits you as you are now. Clothing swaps also really helped me with my fear of 'maybe not having enough' in the future. If it's really hard to part with something, you can always agree that you can ask it back if you have any regrets later (my experience: you won't! but the idea of 'just trying it out for now' helps). And lastly - it's really fun to have an adult dressing up party, trying on weird combinations or things you'd usually never wear, giving each other compliments and advice, etc :)

@globalmuffin2 2 года назад

@@CeciliasMuse i've seen a documentary where not even third world countries accept our crap anymore, too many clothes are purged there and they can't absorb all those clothes. as about swapping, it is unhygienic and always some (the gutty ones) will get the good things and others (the weak ones) will just politely say that it's fine with what they've gotten. been through that, didn't work well. the only solution is to alter the clothes that you already have, instead of buying new ones. and for this you need to not throw away almost anything, since clothes that don't fit anymore (are too small) can be fixed (enlarged) with the fabric from the clothes that you are certain that you won't wear again. you can also make bags and other things from pieces of fabric sewn together. i have such a bag which looks awesome. minimalism as throwing things away is a very bad concept. throwing things away is waste. this is not how we'll save the planet or the human species, but taking advantage of our creative mind and hands. we as a species throw away too much, too fast, this is our problem actually.

@emmaadams5905 3 года назад

I was so scared to get rid of things in the beginning because "what if" but after I started making space to breathe I realized I had very little that I valued over that calm space. After bags and piles and countless trips to goodwill I can barely remember what was in any of those decluttering piles. I shutter when I see those pictures of before the purges and I realize I was drowning in things that held so much guilt and clutter in my mind always

@RonaldLBanks 3 года назад

I love your expression of how you felt you were drowning in your things. So powerful! Keep growing and learning!!

@Fair-to-Middling 3 года назад

Isn't it amazing how we have a hard time remembering what we just donated? Rarely do I regret giving something away. Funny story though. I donated some things one day. During the next week or so, my son went to the place I donated to. He found this cute little vase and surprised me for my birthday. We all had a good laugh when I told him that was the same vase I had donated! I now have it on my shelf, and will probably always keep it. Somehow it was meant to come back to me.

@laminage 3 года назад

I know how you feel. I got rid of alot of stuff that I got from Trade Shows, Books, and the like. I did it because I felt good about knowing how I got it through hard work and the like. I wasn't a Hoarder mind you but with less, I feel more relaxed.

Yea, any stuff i declutter cant be connected to any already got or not wanna let it go lol. so i check and think what it connects any or do i value it any to really wanna keep it any. and slow i let it go for space and less crap to move any. besides try combine box, bins, or bags to have less to move or less to carry any. all gotta be able put in to something so less around to deal with any.

@robinwiggins6715 2 года назад

Sitting here at 4:30 am and you have opened my eyes. You have given a name to so many of my excuses. The guilt has been my strongest prisoner. I am holding on to things because I paid so much for them and friends and family tell me that I would be crazy to let them go. At least once a week, I look at my unloved and unnecessary pieces of furniture and realize that I do not love, need, or want them. I keep telling myself that I cannot just give them away for free. Your calm, yet power packed advice is just what I needed to hear. This helped me to realize that I am still paying for them. My mind is made up. I don't have to ask permission. I am the owner. I will be donating all of these things to a family that needs them. Just the thought of this makes me feel free. I am now a subscriber and I am going to share you with all of my family and friends. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

@gaarachan109 3 года назад

the part that resonated the most with me was "If something does not add value to your life, then don't give it the privilege of entering your life". I think this isn't just true of stuff and things, but the people we hang out with and activities we participate in too. Just as you said in your point about "dump the guilt", the time and energy that we choose to give is valuable and should be applying this to all aspects of life, not just physical stuff. Great video~!

Decluttering as you live really resonated with me! I feel like there is pressure to do a purge, but sometimes items are useful as life changes! Or taking time to find the right home for an item. I replaced the dining table in my home because it was much too big for myself living alone. I haven't posted the old one for sale yet but turns out, my friend just bought a new home and needs furniture. He is happily taking the table when he gets the keys to his home!

@SusanBame 3 года назад

I started doing this in the ʻ90s when the "simplicity" books started coming out. I had a busy, cluttered "country kitchen" and country style decor -- and out it had to go, most of it. I keep doing it for the next area of my life where I buy too much or store too much. Constant process. For me, decluttering "on the exterior" is symbolic of whatʻs going on inside me. When I purge "outside" Iʻm also doing a big purge within. Itʻs easy for me, now, to let go of stuff I only recently paid a lot of money for. I think itʻs partly genetic. My mom simply could not, would not, let go of anything.

@karenjohannessen8987 2 года назад

@susandevine3907 3 года назад

The Endowment Effect is a really good angle on explaining a main reason people hang onto things. When I help a friend who is drowning in things, she often feels the need to come up with a “defense,” I think just because she owns it, not because she uses it or is really glad to have it. Another good question is, “If I didn’t already own this, would I buy it?”

@warren2336 Год назад

The "dump the guilt" section really spoke to me. I've got a bad tendency to tell myself I'll sell some stuff I don't need because it'd probably be worth something to someone. However, I never get around to it. I'm just paying for it with my space. I'd never thought of it that way. Thanks, Ronald.

The ‘sunken cost fallacy’ can be used for anything. Not just items. Say your job: you’ve spent so much time working for that company and have gotten so far within it, yet you hate it.

Perfect timing! I've been going through a decluttering phase and at the same time, I'm also learning not to fill up all that space I've created by buying MORE stuff to fill that empty space. It's a process - this is where the "letting go" mindset comes in. Great video, Ronald!

Great video. The advice of starting while you live is so on point. I started with one drawer and it snowballed into finishing an entire room in a day. I tackled small spaces based on what stressed me out. It was more than cathartic. Have a lot more spaces to go but the overall feel is lightness. I spend so much less time tidying. How to get my toddlers on board is the next challenge!

Just came across this video of yours and you transmit a sense of calmness when you speak, I haven’t heard of many of these minimalist perspectives before, like things not holding on to su but us instead being the ones with a tight grip, I really like the metaphor and your vision.

This makes so much sense and you speak so eloquently. Subscribed 👍 thank you for sharing this! Also I’ve been decluttering as I live for some time but I just didn’t have a name for it 😊

I love everything u said, it makes sense, when the pandemic started and we were placed under ecq, ove realized a lot that I can basically live with less bags, shoes etc. I've been downsizing stuffs slowly and hopefully be able to attain a breathable environment of less stuffs

The want less section really resonated with me! Even thought at this time in my life minimalism is not for me, I am looking into minimizing and I can definitely buy the gratitude perspective to help change my habits and my outlook on life and things.

This is one of the best videos I have seen. Everything you said struck a chord in me. I have always tried to declutter and get rid of things and I get stuck. The past few days I have been really focussing on certain areas to start. I feel like I am making real progress and this video is really going to help

Great video! Dumping the guilt was the hardest part for me at the beginning of my journey, but now, I understand the emotional baggage stuff has, and I am quick to let go of anything that brings me negative feelings.
