Wonderful, thank you Benita. I’m so glad you mentioned “family” in the toxic relationship scenario. Too many people think you must continue those relationships regardless, bcuz they’re “family.”

@BenitaLarsson 2 года назад

Yeah, that’s the hardest part but life’s too short to keep people around that are not good for you.

@connydm729 2 года назад

Yes, i feel the same... even my homeopath and other healthcare profs told me to keep in contact with my ( toxic)family members, Just because we are family....but i know now it made me feel depressed and tired for many years!! So thank you for your thoughs about this...

@Costanza_G 2 года назад

Dear Benita! I absolutely agree with cutting toxic friendships, after almost 2 yrs of Covid I know love being more alone and concentrated on what I love! Hejdo!

@connydm729 2 года назад

The biggest mistake i made when divorced was moving to the Village where my family lives....but i had a severe burnout and didn t think much about it...but i stayed depressed and tired for many years, cause of my family mixing to much in my live...i still wasn t free....only now with lockdown i re-discovered myself....thank you so much Benita for the idea of toxic People!!...it helps me a lot not feeling guilty!! Greetings from Belgium.

@Mel_ski 2 года назад

I love all your videos. I start my day every morning with a cup of coffee and a Benita Larsson video. You are any daily inspiration to continue to slow things down and enjoy life instead of rushing through it. It is a work in progress!

@mignoncobra 2 года назад

The first tip about decluttering toxic friends and family members really spoke to me. Thank you for that.

@BenitaLarsson 2 года назад

Thank you so much, it’s very exciting!

@txspacemom765 2 года назад

I do for me now. It's seems selfish to some, but only the one's who no longer get something from me, outside of friendship. I read a lot, go to museums and small day trips. I enjoy good homemade food, animals, long hikes and taking care of myself physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. I am a natural introvert and I don't fight that anymore. I rid my home of so many things this past month, the idea that I had to have a home looking a certain way, with certain things, for what? Nothing. SO much happier.

@susanmontgomery3968 2 года назад

How thrilling, Benita! Congrats on working for yourself full time and doing what you enjoy! I agree with number one on your list. As a recovering, highly-trained people-pleaser, I didn't figure that one out fully until age 40. It truly does make a huge difference.

@BenitaLarsson 2 года назад

Such a huge difference! Well done!

@kallasusort2986 2 года назад

Congrats on making your decision to leave your corporate job! That was a high stressed type job. You have made some great choices in moving forward in life. Part of what you're experiencing is aging gracefully. It's wonderful to step into the next stages of life while doing self care. I love that you take long walks each day - good to clear your head and appreciate nature. I too have cut toxic people out of my life - Whew how nice is that?

@katiatutukova5357 2 года назад

Benita, You cannot imagine how important this video is for me. I am at the beginning of a massive change. Moving from one country to another. Leaving my job, not sure about my marriage, learning new language and it is at 37 years old. THANK YOU.

@BenitaLarsson 2 года назад

Best of luck with all the things!🧡

@jospeakman7943 2 года назад

@BenitaLarsson 2 года назад

I’m happy for you!

@kimchininja 2 года назад

Congratulations on the job situation! These are great tips. I really love your outdoor space. Its so cozy and neat. As for the tips, I had to cut my own sister out of my life because she was the worst energy vampire, and after even just talking I'd have anxiety issues. People thought it cruel, but sometimes we have to look after ourselves first and foremost.

@BenitaLarsson 2 года назад

That must have been hard for you but from what it sounds necessary.

@lindabeaver1359 2 года назад

@user-ls4vb6dq7z 2 года назад

Congratulations, Benita! I retired almost 3 years ago and because of the tumult of the last year and a half, plans were changed. But as a minimalist, it was ok and I used this time to pare down my life even more. I stopped having my hair colored and love the low maintenance (and the look) of my silver hair. Thanks to you, I went through my possessions and donated a lot of clothing and costume jewelry that I haven't worn in years. I run/walk every day-weather permitting. All these things contributed to making this period more serene than difficult. Thank you again for your continued inspiration, Benita.

@BenitaLarsson 2 года назад

I'm so happy to hear this! And thank you!

@nnicollan 2 года назад

I just watched a minute and have to comment straight away.. People's time management skills are usually so bad that they can't realize how someone with a peaceful demeanor can work full-time and more. They fail to understand that it's exactly this approach that enables productivity, combined with simplicity and organisational skills. Benita, now that you're no longer in the corporate world maybe you could make a video about that experience? Just a thought - I like all your content anyways x

@sabinegoetz1448 2 года назад

Congratulations on your decision to leave corporate life. I recently left my corporate life behind after 40 years, and moved out of the city. With your videos as constant encouragement, I have let go of things that no longer serve me, and I am settling into a slower life routine. It has felt challenging at times, not having things fill up my time each day. But I feel this space I've created will bring new possibilities into my life. As always, I look forward to your content!

@BenitaLarsson 2 года назад

@BenitaLarsson 2 года назад

Such a great decision when you can!

@debweissler7808 2 года назад

Congratulations! I took early retirement shortly after the 9/11 terrorist attacks & it was the best thing I ever did for myself. Since then I have kept busy writing, spending time with friends and pursuing my hobbies. I wish you the very best!

@BenitaLarsson 2 года назад

What a great decision!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@lesleyjackson7691 2 года назад

Oh my goodness - congratulations! I am so so pleased for you! I can only imagine how hard you have had to work doing 2 jobs, as well as dealing with your health issues (hopefully now doing ok with that??) so it is well deserved that you can continue to succeed on You Tube. I love your videos, they are so calming and inspiring. I have been a minimalist for a few years now yet I always get some motivation to improve or change things when I watch your videos. The tip about toxic friends is so so true. And I did this myself and never looked back. All the best for the future! x

@BenitaLarsson 2 года назад

Exiting times! Thank you!

@brunaoliveira8530 2 года назад

It was so nice to hear from you about letting go of toxic relationships, I've been doing that recently but still felt so guilty about it. Especially in relation to family members. These were great tips overall and I agree with and practice pretty much everything! The only exception would be that my husband and I love doing things together more than anything. We love experiencing a little of each other's interests and seeing each other happy in their element is super rewarding for us. It helps that we share most of our interests but still, I'd say that as long as you're truly happy and fulfilled when you're "joined by the hip" that's fine too 😊

CONGRATULATIONS, Benita!! 👏🥂🥳 I am so happy for you! 💕 And, check x 7 on your slow living tips. 👍

@arctica7170 Год назад

The first tip is much more important than one would first think. Especially if it is about toxic family members, who _can_ be harder to deal with than friends. The 'breakup' is difficult, and can take quite a while to process, but it is absolutely worth it in the end. The peace of mind that comes with it is liberating on a whole different level. In my experience I finally felt that I could make my own choices without feeling bad about it. Now I can just be me, and my shoulders are not up in the ceiling anymore.

Congrats to you! A new journey and different pace! I can't imagine the time it takes to have your channel, but I certainly do appreciate your time and sharing. I work from home (I work a lot - the only difference is for me is the flexibility of my time). Exercise is so important for mental health and physical well being - I love audio books (I am dyslexic - so this brings me so much joy to listen to someone read to me). I heard a commercial the other day in the background (can't remember what the content was), but the voice sounded like you - very comforting. Enjoy your day :)
