I share my journey through minimalism and what I learned from decluttering my life!
#minimalism #minimalist #minimalistlife
This was not an easy one for me to do, but we're all here to learn and share right? I didn't realize I had a hoarding problem until a few years ago when I looked at all the things I had and never used. And so, the journey began with minimalism. I was able to let go of mental baggage, free up more time and brain space, develop better habits, and apply minimalism to the rest of my life! Would love to hear your experience in the comments below about your relationship with items and things and how you deal with all your extra baggage!

I like your points, really simple and relevant, helps me to get back motivated to declutter more and start again. I remember my past, I wanted to move and it was car full, the 2, then 3,4,5... And I kept it all. But now years go by and I try to let go! Your points list for others. Minimalizmus helps: 1. Reduce mental baggage - energy from things, emotions attached to things 2. Save time - searching for stuff, you know where everything is, cleaner place, less cleaning, laundry is done faster 3. Development intentional habits - learning to decide what you need, not to give things that create clutter, don't accept hand me downs, everything has its place and purpose 4. Declutter social life, work space, digital space 5. Minimalizmus can transform your life - physically and externally more space in life, I'm way more grateful, you see what's around you easily. Yes, it takes time, 33 years of hoarding, now 5 years plus on the journey, good luck to you all.

People truly dont realize that once you get rid of something you weren't using in the first place you almost automatically forget about it. If you keep it, you have to think about it. Why think about keeping something that isnt even bringing value to your life?? I'm glad you mentioned this point because most people dont realize this fact until you've actually gone thru the process of getting rid of items that were useless in your life. It's an indescribably freeing feeling.

Yes! Absolutely a freeing feeling! I've decluttered things one too many times at this point (although I still have more to go through... lol) but I honestly never regret getting rid of them or I just simply forget about them! Less clutter for the mind! :)

Watching this ,where you said family held on to stuff as you were growing up, I realized that my mom never had stuff in garage or attic. Stuff was just gone, be that toys we stopped playing with or clothes. She usually helps me declutter. She doesn't get why I have so much or where that habit came from haha. I think for me the hoarding was due to growing up and not having much. As an adult I went crazy! I am moving next month and it's going to be an ordeal to declutter but I can't keep moving this from one garage to another. I haven't been buying a lot of stuff the last three years, but the old stuff is still there. I need to not hold onto items because I've had them for so long and attached to it.

Thank you for watching my video! Yes, hoarding can come from not having much, so I totally understand where you're coming from! But moving is always a great opportunity to declutter! Just focus on what is important to you now, in the present moment! :)

It can be a long and grueling process! I think I have maybe 3 small boxes left of sentimental things to let go of. Takes time!

Great advice, Joan! I lean minimalist and can relate to everything you said. Another thing about stuff: it requires maintenance, which equals time and money!

I remember as a child the first time I got invited into a Hmong home and just standing in the door way. I seen how bare it was and I took mental notes 🙂 that reminds me it's been about two weeks since I last did some spring cleaning I'm due for another round 😅

Nice! I try to do it between seasons, seems to be a good time as we "transition," symbolically. 🙂
@PGBlanks

Definitely for me the sentimentality factor is a big reason why I still sometimes hoard more than I used to. For example my late grandma gave me a bathroom rug of all things which is now very ratty, yet I can’t bear to part with it (much to my partner’s chagrin!)
@JoanQuinto
@JoanQuinto 3 года назад
Seriously! I still have about 3 boxes to sort through and one of them is ALL sentimental things. There’s a lot of guilt that we feel as to why we hoard things!

Is it possible to help someone you know to change their hoarding habits or are I wasting my time
@JoanQuinto
@JoanQuinto 3 года назад
Great question! That can be tricky because as we know “people don’t change unless they want to.” I was at the point of my life where I was willing to change myself when I realized I was a hoarder, plus my husband was a minimalist already, so that helped. I’ve encouraged my parents to declutter but they don’t have the drive to do so. I would physically have to help them myself. However, they are open to it! It takes patience and also the willingness of the person to change their ways! So for you, keep dropping seeds and maybe they’ll figure it out for themselves someday!
