You only need these 2 things to own less, let's chat about it 

Wishing you continued peace. 🙏💕

I know the feeling! I struggle to get more minimal. Love an airy home but suddenly I buy to much stuff again. Hard!

@@stinaljungstrom8691 Take a look at how you are doing it. It should be about being frugal appreciate the things you got. Don't just throw everything out leading to the need to replace. It's not about having nothing keep things that have a purpose respect the item, so you don't need to keep replacing. You don't need to throw out as soon as the weather changes because you don't need the item for that season winter comes back every year. Think ahead ask yourselves do you have anything else that dose the same job dose the item spark joy. The whole idea is to try not to be wasteful you can have things. throwing away things premature is a wasteful thing. Think about the items you get will it bring value over a long period of time don't add things that aren't truly needed respect the thing that you already have

@@bunnyboo6295 Thanks for the input. 😊❤️ I've actually had a lot of clothes and furniture for 10-30 years. I don't throw things I like and use. Well... we don't throw things at all, we donate or sell. 😊 We went though everything in our home twice and gave a lot to charity. It became like I wanted and I felt it was the right amount of things for us. The home felt and looked really nice. So far, so good... But I got severe healt issues and a neurological diagnosis, got worse, had no energy, was resting a lot for mounths and got depressed because I missed work, friends and living my life. After mounths of doing almost nothing I found a hobby I sometimes could do while laying in the sofa. Then I like flipped over a bit, and started buying a lot for that hobby. So I guess that is more of my problem. The hobby and being distracted helped me out of the depression. But the home now has cluttter because of it. I know I can be frugal. I have been for years of my life. I also know I need to downsize the hobby so it fits into a limited space. Sometimes life just hits you hard and get you out of balance.

@@stinaljungstrom8691 If the hobby is something you legit do and enjoy you shouldn't feel shame.

@stinaljungstrom8691 I have a few hobbies, too - I write, play music, and sew. So instruments, sewing stuff, pens and notebooks take up space. Our hobbies enrich our life! So I just keep things as tidy as possible in stacked plastic boxes, etc.

You hit the nail on the head with that statement Mary: “Managing less inventory is so freeing.” I agree with you 100%. Thanks for calling this out in this way. Also I love that you’re loving my content. Thanks for being part of this community!

Thank you!

Thank you!! I’m really happy you’re enjoying this style. I’m enjoying it as well because it allows me to get into a flow without overthinking.

When buying think about do you already have something that serves the same use/Purpose. Like if you see a cute coffee mug do you already have a perfectly fine set of mugs. If you see clothes you want to buy, ask yourself do you own something similar. Ask yourself if the item is better than brings more joy, then item you already have. See a cute pair of sneakers ask do you already own a perfectly good pair is it really needed if you only got a ripped-up pair at home maybe it's time for replacement but if you got a few in your closet put them down leave them on the store shelf.

Yes!! Absolutely! Take back control of your life!

You’re very welcome my friend!

Thank you for the opportunity to share this with you!

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it. Happy holidays to you as well!

Hey Golden! First thanks for being part of this community. I appreciate you being here and watching my content for about a year now. PLUS I see you’ve made progress with your own clutter! That’s awesome!! Ok, your question is very valid, and it’s not weird at all. It’s one area I disagree with other minimalist on, actually. Minimalism is not a color palette. We often see it depicted with very neutral colors and furniture because those things/colors are generally easier to mix and match than bright colors, and neutral tends to create a more visually calm space. However, it is possible for your space to feel sterile and cold if you don’t find the right balance for you! That said, a very colorful space works the exact same way. Brights colors can contribute to visual noise and clutter, which can have an impact on your mental space and create mental clutter. BUT you have to find the right balance that works for you, without going overboard to the point where it starts to impact your mental space. If someone enjoys colors and patterns, I believe they should decorate their home as so. That doesn’t mean use every color imaginable, but there are ways to incorporate the colors you love into your space in a way that doesn’t create more clutter while still ensuring your space is an environment you feel accurately reflects you. My wife and I have a neutral color palette in our home because those are colors we genuinely like. As a kid my favorite color was “earth tones.” I’ve always gravitated towards neutrals and greenery. The thing to remember is that minimalism is a tool not the end goal. I hope that helps and answers your question! If you have any other questions don’t hesitate to ask! Keep growing on your journey!
