Feeling obligated to help people with things they easily could do for themselves. Realising that some people don't want to solve problems, they just want to socialize about complaining about problems. But in my case that is exhausting. Negative social contacts in general, I should have been more strict, saying no in time. Now my compass is: how do I myself feel afterwards? If I don't feel "better" then I stop with that.

I wish I would not have just paid full price for something without looking for a discount. I rarely buy anything without searching for the best price!! I have a spreadsheet I've collected my research on the cheapest place to buy each of our grocery items! There can be a large difference between two stores and their costs! Crazy!! Now I find it so fun to research online the best price or any discounts or rebates available!!
@@SunnyKindJourney YES! That's the perfect way of putting it. I recently let go of a friendship when I realized this person and I did not have the same goals, ideals and moral compass. And I don't miss the stress of trying to deal with it.
So true! Its definitely something you learn with time and age. Though, I see those toxic relationships as lessons, rather than in a negative way. It makes everything in your life worthwhile when you see it in this way.
For gifts, especially Christmas, I always ask for consumables. Mine are paper towels, tissues, toilet paper, dishwash soap. Simple things people can pick up on sale at the local market. And they can be certain that I will actually use them.
I usually don't take anything for Christmas, Birthdays, or other events, I usually just give/take a restaurant meal with friends/family or bring some cake to eat at the party (those are also the only times I actually snack or go to restaurants, when with friends or family) small items is the norm but I have always considered those to be clutter or garbage in some way...
Me and my three friends decided no presents anymore. We don’t want for anything. I decided to donate to my local food bank instead. My friend donated to oxfam for my birthday. It takes so much pressure off too. ❤
I just learned this a couple of years ago, and it has helped me enormously in life: "If it's not a hell yes, it's a hell no." This advice goes so well with both material and immaterial things. Ps. Kivaa nähdä suomalainen minimalisti täällä 😊
I recently said 'No' to a friendship I only recently realised was extremely toxic and making me unhappy. Best decision I've made in a long time. I've just found your channel today and already love it ❤
I agree so much with what you shared! The big one that has made the biggest difference in my life is to say NO to judging others. I used to have such a critical spirit, but as I gain wisdom and experience in this life, I see that not a one of us can judge another because we've never walked in each other's shoes! I think it's absolutely liberating to give others the benefit of the doubt and instead of allowing our minds to notice the bad in others, be intentional about finding the good!!
It's really life-changing. There's so much good in the world and in people, if we just give them the chance and not judge the book by its cover ❤ I like so much this quote "Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always."
I like the social battery concept. I feel the same way at times. I just want to be alone with my thoughts. I am now much happier knowing when to distance myself from others😊
100% agree on all 20. To summarize: Take time to learn what is really important to you and focus on those things. You have a gift for putting the most important things into words.👍👍
Greetings from Idaho, USA! Just discovered your videos and I really enjoy them! I agree with 100% of what you say and I’m also learning more about myself just listening to you! Thank you for sharing your ideas and insights!!
Very good video especially the last two , thank you. I am in an ongoing situation where I live of saying "no" to gossip. This is a process of being mindful and intentional in communication.
I really enjoy all your videos, Seve, and I appreciate that you always say this works for me, it may work for you, you don’t have to do this. So much minimalist content is full of RULES and you MUST do this, you MUST NOT do that. There is no one way to live your special, particular life as a minimalist. Thank you for always sharing your experiences and just saying maybe give this a try, this really helped me, and leave it at that. Keep up the good work! 😊
We have solved the birthday gift problem: when it is your birthday, buy yourself a present; when it is someone else's birthday, buy yourself a present. A win-win situation - you can defer giving yourself a present if times are tough (as they often are.)
Thanks to you I started actively thinking about what I have in my life and what I really use and how I feel about it. My biggest step is reducing my skincare and makeup products that are old and not good for my skin, and using them daily. I stopped impulse buying these stuff. Also I started to sort out clothes. I sold books that have no value to me. I organised my phone. Small steps, but I already feel cleaner and more in charge of my life. I also stopped binge watching streaming services
Im subscribing🎉 i love the way u explain & how its really relateable… i can feel that u put your heart in it. Im now at very first step of minimalism 😊 i can feel my life so easy and very mindfull rn 💃🏻 thank u so muchh love it❤❤
Oh my God, every thought of you resonates and melts my heart. I am, I do and I fully feel the same. You are a wise young man. Wishing you all the best and thanks for this great message video I really appreciate what you do here for all. Thanks for the special part on being creative. I worked on a wooden piece of art this week forgetting all around finding myself and magic in it. Focus is a great teacher and minimalism the bridge to a full life. Blessings to you and thank you!
I really enjoy your videos and have learned so much! A genuine question not related to the topic of today’s video, when you’re filming in the woods and other natural places and sitting in one spot while you film, how are you not being stung by clouds of mosquitoes? Sometimes I get distracted wondering how many mosquito bites you’re getting. Just curious! Hope you’re well! Much peace! ✌️😌✨
In places were there's a lot, I use long sleeves shirts and pants 😄 Here the amount was pretty minimal so I was okay. But many times I have to make cuts because they fly in my ears 😂
Omg you included my comment in your videoooo ❤ that's a first for me. I was listening to this vid while doing chores and I had a moment where I thought "that sounds so much like me" ahha and ofc it does. Keep up the good content!
In my experience, men have that luxury of stop giving gifts. It's almost kind of expected that men don't give gifts, but if women either don't give gifts or give bad gifts people get really offended.
Yeah I guess that's a cultural thing too. Still it doesn't mean you need to if you feel it's not the right thing to do. In my opinion, if someone gets offended, I think it's time to question the basis of that relationship. It doesn't mean that it's bad but at least think about it
Realized this in church this past Sunday - we can't actually keep anything! We can lose possessions, our home, our loved ones, our health, and even our life. The only thing we can actually keep is Jesus and his promise of everlasting life.
yes events that you might be surrounded by toxc family or friends. its just not worth it. work on mental health , work on yourself. stay well and peaceful.. so I agree with your concepts about this. Thanks.
You talked about resisting change. I recognized that I needed to resist change for a while just to reduce stress. I guess when you're looking for too long to find the perfect way to do something or organize rather than settle for a good enough way, it becomes stressful and potentially counterintuitive because that's all you end up doing with your free time and you don't give yourself enough time to let a certain way become a habit. On the other hand, doing something or organizing in a certain way for too long although you get better at doing it that way can get boring. So you've got to regulate how frequently or how much you change things up.
Most of the greatest artists and inventors had pretty strict routines, actually. Two examples that first came to mind were Picasso and Da Vinci. These people work extremely hard and track their time and activities closely in order to maintain balance.
Can you make a video about how and what you changed about your work situation after going through your life change? I've been going through a burnout for over a year. I am adjustinging every aspect of my life, but I'm not finding the answers of how I can change my worklife in today's culture. So just looking for someone else's experience in this. Thanks ❤
Hi Seve, Question: The Gift Giving pressure. My partners family, are all VERY affluent. We, on the other hand, are on the opposite end of the financial spectrum. The family who are made out of money spend Big Bucks at Christmas to give Big Buck Gifts across the board, because they have the money to do that. Every year, we end up in the same damned place, hubby HAS to find the money, to produce gifts on par, with the rest of his brothers and sisters. Not to mention 5 nieces and a nephew. In 2 weeks (the end of September) our nephew is getting married, in another city, where hubby will travel. He's blowing all kinds of money on a suit he will only wear once, a HUGE wedding gift, and his travel expenses. THEN in 3 months (December) he's gonna go through this entire drama of not having enough money budgeted for Christmas because he spent that chunk on a wedding. And he is gonna double gift the nephew AGAIN. Then he has to gift everyone else. The other kids, now adults with children themselves, or on the way, and the family. I'm like, at what age do we stop buying the kids gifts, and having to stress (on a yearly basis) producing Star Quality gifts for family we never see, never speak to directly, never visit, and only interact through his parents when he visits them prior to Christmas !! With all that said, OUR Christmas is always negatively impacted because of this drama !! And I don't see a way out of it, or the way to try and "Minimize" that portion of our lives !!
It's high time for your partner to speak with his family about it. I understand that he may not want to, as he may feel embarrassed sharing details of your financial situation with them, but it's really his duty as it seems to be taking such a toll on your lives. He can ask the family to agree to a gift exchange at a certain dollar amount e.g. you buy them gifts for $30 and he asks them to do the same for you - that way no one feels awkward for getting a more expensive gift. It's an entirely reasonable request, and as family, I'm sure they will be very understanding, and will not want their son and his partner to be in debt due to a few gifts.
Or give them ' gifts to help the world' such as a donation in their name to ' Crisis at Christmas', 'Shelter' ( a UK homeless charity) or snow leopards or water aid charities, whatever. I did this fir 2 years with remote family ( whom I never saw and just exchanged piles of tat each year) and explained that I had developed a conscience about issues that matter in the world and that as someone with so much it was my moral duty to help the less advantaged. Some of them called me weird but a few of them started giving to charities too. This way their money does some good in the world.
The way out is to stop participating...politely explain the situation all the gift giving affects your family. Let them know you so appreciate all gifts but it creates financial stress in your family so you will be not participating in gift giving. Hopefully it will be received positively.
I might want to give them a call way before christmas, and announce a change so they are aware of it, like you and your husband do not want to receive gifts anymore and decided therefore not to gift anymore either. It sounds fair, right? You can still visit to see them, just take out the stress factor.
I applaud you getting control of your life. However, it does sound you are avoiding some responsibility and dealing with anxiety disorder. Dealing with life challenges is not avoiding them but having healthy and productive actions to deal with them.
I agree with your last sentence 100% 🌱 as long as healthy and productive go hand in hand 😄 So many times in our society they don't but we feel we can't stop and slow down
17:48 so do you feel lucky that you did not declutter throughout those last seven years for the reasoning that you did not touch it “during the last 12 months”?
@@SunnyKindJourney of course I am just curious as you said you felt so happy to rediscover this book that you have not touched within in the last seven (!) years. I wondered if you are now quite happy that you did not declutter it. As it seems to be some sort of „minimalistic rule“ to get rid of things you no longer use. So I imagined within 7 years there would have been plenty of opportunities to declutter the thing and it would have been „the right thing to do“ as a minimalist - but you did not. And now you seem to get a lot of joy out of this thing that you kept despite it’s uselessness during all those years beforehand. I was just curious about your thoughts 💭 thank you for taking the time to answering me. I appreciate it.
I used to really connect with your videos but then you made those comments about being late and how it is disrespectful...which is just disrespectful to the neuro divergent community. Time blindness is a real struggle for so many - grow up and stop being so dismissive, why don't you give that a try?
I actually don't know anyone who struggles with this so I wasn't even aware of it. Now that you mention it of course if I knew a friend that had a quality like this, I would feel very differently about that person being late. As mentioned in the video, my views on this are based on the environment I was raised in which means there is a lot to question. I'll go study this more 🌿
are people with time blindness in HIGH demand in the job market? If I understand it correctly, they will often work 2,3,5 hours LONGER than other people at work. Is that the case? An an employer I think you would definitely want to hire the time blindness sufferes because you can have a staff of people who work longer than you pay them for. Is this the case?
@@SunnyKindJourneyfirst time I’ve ever heard of such a thing…. My sister use to say “ I’ll wait 10 minutes for the queen so that’s how long I’ll wait for someone else” I personally agree the that it’s disrespectful to waste someones time. Love your content!!!
Time blindness is something that develops slowly with poor lifestyle choices. It can again be reversed. It's not everyone's responsibility to pick up slack when you're late to everything
@@NeonDisciple that is so far from true that I wonder if you have even heard of neurodevelopmental disorders !? Please don't spread misinformation about medical conditions you know nothing about.
What’s something you wish you had said "no" to sooner?
Feeling obligated to help people with things they easily could do for themselves. Realising that some people don't want to solve problems, they just want to socialize about complaining about problems. But in my case that is exhausting.

Having to be productive all the time. There is so much good about just having nothing to do, sit and enjoy nature or quiet.
To people who keep asking favours without offering anything in return.
Toxic friendships, rather have 1 good friend than 10 fake or toxic friends in my life, however I think recognising this comes with age and maturing 😊
Well said, better alone than in a bad company 🌿

are people with time blindness in HIGH demand in the job market? If I understand it correctly, they will often work 2,3,5 hours LONGER than other people at work. Is that the case? An an employer I think you would definitely want to hire the time blindness sufferes because you can have a staff of people who work longer than you pay them for. Is this the case?
@@SunnyKindJourneyfirst time I’ve ever heard of such a thing…. My sister use to say “ I’ll wait 10 minutes for the queen so that’s how long I’ll wait for someone else” I personally agree the that it’s disrespectful to waste someones time. Love your content!!!
Time blindness is something that develops slowly with poor lifestyle choices. It can again be reversed. It's not everyone's responsibility to pick up slack when you're late to everything
@@NeonDisciple that is so far from true that I wonder if you have even heard of neurodevelopmental disorders !? Please don't spread misinformation about medical conditions you know nothing about.
