ABOUT A TO ZEN LIFE
Along my journey to let go of 30 years of clutter, I accidentally became a minimalist and it was life-changing.
Before, I was an emotional hoarder with nothing but the clutter from lost loved ones - and $25,000 of debt - to my name. Now I have a beautiful home in Europe, a happy family, live debt-free, and - best of all - wake up to a life that I’m EXCITED to live every day.
My mission is to help you conquer your clutter and simplify YOUR way to a happier and better life. HERE'S OUR STORY: atozenlife.com/about-a-to-zen...

Your video showing how you initially overcame emotional hoarding literally changed my life. I discovered it two weeks ago, right as we were having my parents' estate sale (my mother was an emotional hoarder and I was slowly becoming one too). I was finally able to let go. And your weekly videos offer such useful tips to help stay on track and continue to fine tune my progress. Thank you sincerely for everything. ♥
Thanks so much for being here and I’m wishing you all the best on your journey ❤️
Can you point me to the specific video please? I need to watch this...
It was probably this one: th-cam.com/video/VeLg5rDNs-8/w-d-xo.html
That video changed my life too. For real. I'd been trying for over ten years plus and could not get it done. It's a lot easier since discovering this channel
"Crop your circle"is one that most of us struggle with and underestimate the impact our relationships have on us. I used to be the primary communication initiator for friends and it took a toll on me. When I stopped, most communication stopped unless they needed something. I saw how toxic this was. I feel so much happier having relationships that are healthy. Thanks for sharing your wisdom!
You are so right - and it’s often it’s the hardest changes that make the biggest difference. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for a great video! I experienced a lot of incredibly negative criticism growing up. Quite a few months ago I found a picture of myself when I was about 4 or 5, looking quite angry. I'm sure I had just been yelled at by one of my parents because their form of communication was yelling. But when I saw this picture, my heart broke. I've always been critical of my own pictures (and of course, myself), but I decided to save this one and keep it out as a reminder to give nothing but love to this little girl because she deserves it. It's helped tremendously in not beating myself up when I make a mistake or just start to criticize myself over something petty. I'm on my own decluttering journey and it's bringing up a lot of bad emotions and toxic thoughts. All the more reason to let it all go. Thank you for all of your great help and fantastic tips!
Oh Janie, sending big virtual hugs to you and your heart ❤️
Sending you love and support via online! ❤️ I had a toxic childhood and it's effected me in profound ways and over the last 7 years I've slowly been dealing with it and trying to overcome it. I wish you the best on your journey to healing ❤️
@@minimallyleah7208 Thank you very much and I wish the same for you💕💕
@@janiec3915 thanks!
Correlation does not imply causation. It is just as likely people who earn more money sleep better, have less stress, and a can afford a higher standard of living that allows them to establish a morning routine.
This is so true!
My husband and I have just been licensed for foster care.
We are empty nesters so this is really a big change coming!
As someone who struggles with negative self talk, perfectionism and procrastination ( 😬) Ive found that asking for help is one of the biggest steps I've taken, now on my way to minimalism and financial stability, definitely an investment that's so worth it, I love watching your videos while I declutter thank you for this amazing work you do and for sharing your stories ❤️
Wow! It is so good to see that someone else has the same struggles as me! And even better to have A to Zen to help us with her incredible wisdom.
Love these tips! The 5 min rule is awesome. You can really put any time here you want. I often do a 15 min, but wow you can get so much done in that amount of time!
Good suggestions. I haven't ever started my day with caffeine; once when I took my husband to the ER at 3 AM I was offered a cup of coffee and declined, and the nurse asked "How can you function without caffeine?" I said, "Very well. If you never get addicted to it, you learn to function without it." I prefer to drink a large glass of pure water first thing in the morning.
I've been struggling with a lot of issues and really needed to see this this morning. Thank you for posting! I'm watching it now but stopped to comment after reading the Mark Twain quote. It really touched home.
It’s such a good quote - wishing you well, Jody ❤️
Hope you're well Jody ❤️ God loves you
@@kr6484 Thank you. Yes, God is good! I found out yesterday I do not have lung cancer and then I got to visit my 4-month-old great-grandson. 🥰 I am counting my blessings!
@@jodybogdanovich4333 wow, that's amazing. I saw your post yesterday and prayed for you. He hears our prayers. Blessings to you and a wonderful life 🙌
@@kr6484 I so appreciate your prayers! Blessings to you and your family as well.
I love this! I help my health coaching clients break down lifestyle and diet changes into small steps to help them avoid overwhelm. Also I tried the project 333 challenge and it felt amazing to be able to see everything in my closet easily and get dressed in the morning:) Love your channel, you continue to inspire me.
❤You are so right about making that one decision to change your life forever. Thank you so much for sharing today's video. ❤
I’m always inspired and motivated after watching your video! I look forward to watching every week! 😊👍🏻
Thank you so much!
Love your suggestion’s always something that speaks to me. ❤❤❤
I just love your videos. They are so fresh, enthusiastic and many of your suggestions are quite original.
Thank you for this. Your videos are so motivating. I have a lot of work to do. I’m drowning some days with two small kids. I’m working on it but you help me a lot 💕
I’m returning to the office tomorrow after being out for a month. I went through my closet after last weeks video and put together a ten item wardrobe including shoes for the office. I’m trying it for a month or two before I pare down the rest of my closet. This week organizing my finances resonated. I have some Christmas shopping to do and I can get carried away.
Little Marissa’s high ponytail is so cute! ♥️
Wow, that’s incredible Amelia - good luck with your return to work. 💪 Let us know how it goes after your experiment!
Thank you so much for sharing these tips 💜
I like how you explain everything! ❤️
That #3 is so important 😊
Hi Dear,
I wanted to reach out and thank you for creating such an inspiring video on betterment. Your insights and ideas have truly resonated with me, and I appreciate the time and effort you put into sharing your knowledge with the world.
Your video has motivated me to take action towards improving my own life, and I am sure that many others have been similarly inspired by your message. It is people like you who make a positive difference in the world, and I am grateful for your contribution.
Once again, thank you for your wonderful video, and I look forward to seeing more content from you in the future.
Best regards,
Vedanti.
Thank you! You are very inspiring. I also lived in Switzerland for many yearss and the culture shock also is a stressful part that you are probably dealing with.
Are we doing Frugal February next year? I loved doing it with you last year. It really set me up for a good start to the year financially!!
I’m moving to SC in 9 days and thank goodness I had already begun following your videos. Packing has been amazingly easy because I had gotten rid of a lot of things.
That’s wonderful to hear and good luck with your move 💪
Love this!! Especially number 8!! 10:15
Love it thank youm
So helpful thank you. ❤
Hi Marrissa, sorry about the spelling?! Loved the tip from Dale Carnegie about not arguing, Thanks. It is important to remember that it is a complete waste of time. Plus you can always even completely show tolerance by telling them, all the while internally disagreeing, Say, "you have a right to your own point of view." That way they may not come after you later to try to change you into their own and ego centric ways. You know the type, everyone must do as I do or
else they are odd or weird and not like perfect me. I do know a few like that.
Hi Abbi, yes that bit of the book really stuck with me. (And it’s “Marissa” btw 😉)
Very good. Thank you ❣️
It is always hard to let go of a way of life. Especially when you loved it. You still have your partner and kids, and that is truly the most important thing.
I LOVE your content. I wait for your video every week so I can be challenged. Thank you!
I’m so happy to have you here ☺️
I needed to see this today. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching! ❤️
I love you and your videos so much! I really missed you this summer, but I understand needing a break and unplugging.
I was wondering if you could do a video about quitting hard bad habits, I'm trying to quit smoking and so far nothing is working. I was wondering if you had any behavioural tips or rewiring techniques that you could address. I have my why, save money and be healthier, but unsure how to rewire my subconscious to support my terrible will power. Thanks love xx Stay beautiful!
You are such a GIFT. I heard about your channel from Gabe and I absolutely love the content you have so generously and genuinely provided. I am a new subscriber and have found myself wanting to hear more from you and your very helpful perspective l❤Thank you so much
I have been a minimalist for years. . . .but watching your videos is also a way to help keep me 'straight'. lol. Your content is fun, informative and your personality is wonderful! I have to ask. . .I love your bed. Do you mind sharing what kind it is? I'm about to move and am due for a definite upgrade. I just love it!
Thank you for this video! I woke up this morning early! I wrote 6 things down in my daily diary then I watched the video! It was zen in the title that attracted me to it and I had left it from last night to watch! I never drink coffee but tea is my drink of choice! Very similar! Will watch previous videos! Aussie Lady
Thanks so much and glad to have you here ❤️
Thank you for this video. I need to seriously nail down my sleep schedule for one thing. I stay up too late then sleep away the morning. I love early mornings so why do I do that ?!?! I'm going to apply your tips and change that behavior.
You can do it!
This was such a great video!!!!!!! I loved the point about avoiding arguments. That is a hard one for me, I am feisty 😉😂.
I would LOVE a budgeting video, if you are up for make one 💞💞
I would remove the argument one. It can be very fun and mind opening to argue for the sake of trying to understand the person you are arguing with and challenging him to question his position and vice versa. It is just a nother skill to be learned
Hi can you talk more about starting and finishing tasks in the future. I feel there is a lot of perfectionism, procrastination and fear and expectation in me. And it hinders me from doing the things that I want to do.
Much love. From Singapore.
Great tips👌👌. Always learning more and more with you 😊. I need to change a lot in my life but that deadly combination of perfectionism and procrastination battle in my head daily. I really need to write down what I need to do in small steps. BTW that you Marissa is so super cute 🥰🥰🥰🥰. Thanks fam 💜💜
Hahahaha thanks so much! Yes, we need to fight those “double P’s” 😘 cheers fam
I'd noticed that photo of yourself in another video. That's such a great strategy. I think I might try it. ☺️
Can you talk about which of the challenges you've found most difficult? I struggle to get back into a workout routine.
Great video!
Thanks Sylvie! ❤️
Love your content and that you’re an SLP!! 👏👏
Thanks so much! ❤️
Hi Marissa
I really love your videos as they offer useful information and help me become a better person.
Looking forward to your new video.
PS: Could you please tell me what is the name of the board above your desk and where did you buy it from? Thank you so much
Thank you so much
🌻
❤️
I desubscribed and I keep getting your videos. It's a sign.
Hello Marissa I love this 10 points 😉💪😁 for being honnest the "5 minutes" challenge saved my life and the "morning routine" too it helps so much to save time and be more effective so a big thank you and as a french mom I send you bises 😉👍🙏💪
Bises right back! ❤️
@@AtoZenLife 😳🥰😁
❤❤❤❤
I agree you look great. Also as aside. Are you using a promoter and if so what are you using that you can remember what to say so smoothly
I always write myself a few notes or outline so I stay on topic - and I edit out all the “ums” and “uhs” of course 😉
Unrelated to the topic, but you're looking especially beautiful in this video!
Thanks so much ☺️
👍♥️
I enjoy your channel. Just a quick question, have you kept the Catholic Faith and are you practicing? Thank you.
can you share the money challenge that you were talking about? or you had been teaching your children?
Yes, we did a no spend challenge last year together for “Frugal February” and you can find the first video here:
th-cam.com/video/KWvFpZn0liU/w-d-xo.html
And we are doing another in February THIS year on my channel, so definitely subscribe ☺️👍
@@AtoZenLife ok
@@AtoZenLife got this video. Seeing it.
A lot of this can't apply to me as someone who works at a hospital
Ciao qual'è il tuo Pokémon preferito per curiosità?
😂 Marissa = Jiggleypuff
Gege = Arceus
Didi = Komala
@@AtoZenLife che bello bene mi fa molto piacere hai 3 Pokemon preferiti e bellissimi complimenti sono molto d'accordo con te grazie mille ciao invece il mio Pokemon preferito è Boldore che è un Pokémon bellissimo ed è un Pokémon bello di tipo roccia e poi ho un altro Pokémon preferito che è monferno che è un Pokémon bellissimo che è un Pokémon di tipo fuoco va bene ed ci vediamo alla prossima volta con un altro video va bene ciao buona serata a te e anche alla tua famiglia e grazie mille per il tuo cuore ❤️❤️🥰❤️❤️
FYI “The secret to getting ahead … “ quote is not from Mark Twain.
Bel video complimenti ciao buona serata da Andrea b.❤️❤️❤️
❤️
@@AtoZenLife grazie mille buon pomeriggio e buona cena mi stai molto simpatica ciao e grazie mille per il tuo cuore ❤️❤️🥰❤️❤️
Io sono di Padova e tu invece di dove sei per curiosità?
Se vuoi rispondere a questa domanda oppure anche non serve va bene ciao
Grazie mille per il tuo cuore ❤️❤️🥰❤️❤️
American in Germany with Chinese husband here 🙌 We are multicultural. 🇺🇸 🇩🇪 🇨🇳
@@AtoZenLife Eh sì sono d'accordo con te va bene mi fa tanto piacere grazie mille per le tue bellissime risposte sono tutte belle e mi fa molto piacere Germania è un bellissimo stato complimenti ciao e anche l'America è un bellissimo stato complimenti ancora ciao alla prossima ❤️❤️🥰❤️❤️
But what if I am a cat who has something they want to change or improve in their life who HAPPENED to walk across my humans keyboard?
Then you are a rare and wonderful neko 🐱 indeed 😂
@A to Zen Life aren't all neko just so rare and wonderful though ❤️🧡💛
But how can we pull the weeds which are one of our family member? Is it ok to go away and live a separate life, that gives peace?
Yes it is. If you have family members who are toxic, don’t feel guilty cutting them out of your life!
@@cherylT321 hmmm... but what about the kids... they are the ones who get more affected.
@@droy589 Exactly. How’s it doing children any good to be around negativity!
@Cheryl T. hmmm... since last 3 to 4 years I have been suffering this, and now I could collect enough courage to think of letting go of my relationship with my hubby. But still thinking about my kid. How will he react, how will he take it. All are making me rethink.
@@droy589 I'll tell you something. My mom stayed with my dad because she was thinking just as you are despite he cheating on her, getting another woman pregnant and being verbally abusive toward us. I'm 27 female and trust me I would have appreciated a lot if she left him.
Sometimes what women think is the best for kids it's not.
Re #8: on TH-cam, Quora, and Twitter, “don’t feed the troll”. I’ve gotten into strong arguments, particularly with people who have different political views, online. Waste of time, but I had to learn the hard way. I’ve even been called stupid, brain-dead, a sheep, and the c-word because I don’t think 45 was sent to us by God. Or that one religion is better than any other religion, or, even worse, no religion.
Love your videos but please reconsider working with better help...they are notourious for being scammy....
Great video!
