I had this one simple routine for many years. I was reading zenhabits texts for hours daily. That was like a therapy.
Amazing 😍
Would like to learn more about simple healthy eating. At 73, I'm moving toward a more whole food plant based diet, but made the mistake of watching too many TH-camrs & buying several large cookbooks. I quickly became overwhelmed with new ingredients, too many spices, & too time consuming recipes for my energy level. Hearing about your simple meals was such a relief! Thank you.
like many viewers who started a minimalist lifestyle with you back in the day, we’re starting to look at retiring…love to hear your thoughts! And super happy to have found your channel again…once in a while the algorithm is bang-on the nose with what it chooses to show!
Same here ❤
Thank you!
Dear Leo
I want you to make a video on the ways to add things in life like badminton or acting or something else.. while doing studies with 100% focus and dive into it.
I want to make my day memorable
Today in my library the lights went off and then i and my friends went to the park and Played cricket with kids and my team won and i felt like i have done something that i am really happy after so many days
I want that kind of excitement and newness every single day
Love this idea - make your day memorable! Sounds like you're already doing it. :)
Wow I'm so thrilled to find you on TH-cam! Looks like your been on here for a year and for some reason never showed up on my algorithm. I'm all about Minimalism and have been since 2008 when I somehow came across your blog and was mind blown! I remember literally printing out a lot of your content back in the day when I actually printed things, lol, and I felt like I had struck a secret gold mine. Nobody I knew had these ideas not did I ever hear about Minimalism and Simple Living. So I hung on to every word! You seriously are The OG in this community and are so loved for it!
I only really started posting regularly recently, so it makes sense. Thanks for sharing all of this!
So happy to find you again
I'm happy you found me :)
Hi. I'm 51 and in my journey to simple life. I have stop shopping online, buying things i don't need and it feels so good. I never imagined myself this way bec just the thought of not shopping before this journey makes me miserable. 😊
Such a great topic, thank you! Great to hear you're on this journey.
I love the point about nature. I noticed that as I age, my favorite thing to do when I travel is just... see the nature. Go to London, favorite part? The gardens. Literally smelling the roses.
🌺
Thanks for the share. Another video idea or topic: can you share more about the zen philosophy and book recommendations or teachers?
Great topic! Thank you 🙏🏽
Thanks for your words of wisdom and inspiration. I'd welcome more thoughts on overcoming the scarcity mindset. I left a very stressful job last year, having run a nonprofit for nearly 30 years. While I am 52, I am privileged to have sufficient savings to not have to work if I don't want to, especially if I live the simpler life I am striving toward. When others ask why I am not still working (or when I'll go back to work), I start to feel lazy and fearful that I might not have enough.
Such a great topic, thank you!
I would love to hear more about (1) how minimalism changes when you do it for such a long time, (2) simplicity with a family and parenting, (3) zen
Great suggestions, thank you!
I love these videos! I hope you keep making them ❤
Thank you - I will!
Would love to hear your experience with minimalism and kids. I have 4 kids and drowning and would love to simplify but scared to do it as my kids have so much stuff and still want more.
One of my favorite topics! It's not easy to simplify with 4 kids :)
I’d be interested in a discussion on how you counteract the social and commercial pressure to always be consuming more.
Great suggestion, thank you!
So happy to have found your channel Leo - please keep making videos 😊 love your perspectives
Thank you! I appreciate the encouragement.
I loved this video. Thank you. I’m 69 and have always led a simple lifestyle. I always enjoyed being a homebody, reading, not having a busy social life. Etc. I did spend a lot of money on useless stuff when younger and still have guilt and regret about that but I know I must forgive myself. I’m a minimalist now and doing the Swedish Death Cleaning but having a hard time deciding what I should leave for my niece and nephew regarding my sentimental items. Like old journals, letters from penpals going back to 1977. Do you have any advice on how I should deal with my indecision regarding those items? I want them to know more about my life after I kick the bucket so not sure I should keep for them. Not sure if this is even relevant to your video but it doesn’t hurt to ask, right? Thanks again 😊
Thanks for sharing, Kathleen ... this is a good topic, and I've noted it! :)
Inspiring video…gotta stop over-consumption of the news!
🔥
Would love to see a day in the life of Leo video
Seriously!! Please~~
Lol, OK thank you for that amazing suggestion. I will deeply consider it. :)
Letting go of attachment
Great suggestion! Any particular kind of attachment that's most challenging for you to let go of?
There is actually fast food that is healthy.
