1:40 THIS! I'm a disabled self advocate and even in my disability communities people INSIST on treating these issues as a personal mental problem and try to solve the issues with mental solutions (beating themselves up to remember to do certain things and perseverate on certain mantras etc). It works for a week so they tell everyone else to do it but it's not sustainable, so they stop, then they beat themselves up more. It's terrible. It doesn't work because it doesn't address the problem. The problem is the environment and a lack of appropriate support. PUT THE SHOES SOMEWHERE ELSE lol
Love your approach and I live and think the same way. For ME, minimalism ISNT sitting and sleeping on the floor and wearing the same 3 outfits over and over just so that I can own less "things" or have the minimal number of a specific thing to get by. I want to have "enough" of what I need and some of what I want (but not more than enough, if that makes sense).
I just started reading "How To Keep A House While Drowning" (i.e. for the stressed/overwhelmed as well as neurodivergent and chronic pain folks) and it's been a gamechanger with how I'm changing my mindset. Like you said at the end, knowing and understanding where the negative self talk is coming from really helps you address it and make chores feel less awful. It's a refreshing take and much needed in the conversation about minimalism and general household care. I'll definitely try some of your tips too!
Interesting! Never heard of it so thank you for mentioning it! Absolutely! There is always a reason why something is happening, once we find it we can begin to understand where to act from there! Thank you for reaching out! I hope all is well🤍
I love decluttering. It takes some weight off my shoulders and gives me (literally and figuratively) more room to think. I am definetly guilty of a messy sink. As you said, willpower and discipline alone does not work for me. Thank you for the tips. Btw those short and funny video clips and jokes in your videos are priceless! Keep it coming man!
I’ve donated some of my makeup products and clothes to people who need those and I’ve been donating clothes for past few years ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ That feels better and I can free up some space in my closet too. 03:08 haha cute 😄 I love the background of your video, it’s professional and nice 😊 Thank you so much for sharing valuable information with us always! Have a nice day Damon 🌷
9:31 It feels like most things that we dislike or like come from the early stages of our childhood, I don't remember who said it but some historical figure said that every child is like a plant, if you take care of the roots of the plant and continually support the plan by giving it enough water, sunlight it will grow to in its full potential if you won't the plant won't grow as much as it could have been, moreover the shape of the plant will look odd and have more of a deformed shape
Wow! What a great description!! It’s so accurate and just like a plant you can cut away the part that is not as healthy and tend to it in a way which grows back healthy leaves!
@@DamonCassidy I still don't know who said that quote or perhaps I heard some historical figure putting a hard enthesis about how youth is important because it shapes the future kinda thing and twistest the quote to sound more reliable haha
@@DamonCassidy Haha I actually cleaned clean my room for once since Christmas, I was so slow and complained that the whole process took longer that I expected
1:23 I have 4 per of shoes and I only use 1 every day once a while I will wear different per shoes, I think I have to take another of your advice and see well it will take me haha
@DamonCassidy people love using cost as an excuse to avoid something they don't want to do. I used to buy records that no one would want anyways for their cases. They make excellent paper organizers. Thrift stores regularly have unloved storage containers. Money isn't the barrier people like to pretend it is. Excuses are
@@dismurrart6648 you’re absolutely right! I agree 100% I’ve never thought about the creative ways for storage containers! Thank you for mentioning that!
Great! You looked like you were in a great mood for this one! Super awareness of small things that can compound into big gains! And your multiple whys reminded me of my study of this technique: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_whys
So glad you enjoyed it! It was a fun one, was getting real creative with it haha! Thank you for sharing that! So cool to see the 5 whys and how it was/is practically being used!! Hope all is well Jimmy!
