Please check the data on your plants. some plants take less water in winter, but most will need heat during a winter, more so, in a cold country like Finland. the chances are, you have plants from a hotter climate in your home.
Same here 😂 I had to train family and friends to gift me their time, like doing nice things together, instead of buying me cute little things that pile up in my home. Stepping out of the mad gifting cycle on religious holidays also helped a lot. If people want to give me things they can always ask if I will use and enjoy it. I do the same for them.
The more you settle into your own form of minimalism the more you are able to see what is cluttering your own life. Sometimes this can be a surprise because you have become so accustomed to the way you have always lived you don’t see mental and physical clutter for some time. Good video ❤
That's so true. We get so used to our living environments that the clutter and all its negative effects just become the norm. Finding out that we don't have to live that way after all can be such an eye-opening experience! Thank you 😇
Your channel is everything I love about TH-cam! I live in Germany and all I have every seen on TV was 75% from the US 20% from Germany and 5% the rest of the world. With books it is a little more diverse but still very US biased. I love seeing something from the rest of the world and your options are so interesting to me. Makes my view of the world so much more colorful ❤💜💙💛🧡 Thank you so much!
Hi Seve - I always look forward to your videos! Today was my first day at my new job! Pre-Minimalist Tara would have gone out and bought so many "pretty" things for my new office..... NEW Tara will now pull a few things from my own home and not buy a single thing (because I don't need anything). This is big for me! I don't NEED to fill my new office with a bunch of things. I have in mind to bring one picture, one plant, and one little saying block for the office - that's it! It feels so good and freeing! Thanks for all that you continue to teach us!!
I think it is better to start minimalism now. Because it is no longer hyped and restricted by people that misunderstood what it is. Minimalism is about making your life fit you. Not about how many items you have or never to buy or add anything to your life again.
Well, you know pioneers are those who have to deal with all the mistakes we don't know anything about yet, lol. So, it's comfier to be secondary when we can learn from the mistakes of those who went on the journey before us.
Thank you for this video. I’m relatively new to minimalism and all the things you said were really helpful. Especially the parts of knowing why you’re in this situation in the 1st place and not comparing yourself to other minimalist. I think it’s important for minimalism to be individualistic but that’s not really the message you get when watching other videos about minimalism. It really helped to see the bookcase with all the books and plants everywhere in your own home. That the idea of being a “perfect” minimalist if stressful in itself. I get really mad at myself when I fail at it. You gave me permission to fail and to extend grace to myself. I can tell myself that it is a process, it’s different for everyone, and that is OKAY that it’s taking me longer than I want it too. It’s okay that it’s been a year and I’m still not done decluttering. I will get there! Thanks again for your video!
I'm really happy you were able to understand this. It's an important part of creating an actually healthy life. Anyone can become a minimalist but not everyone can do it while enjoying it :) Thanks for watching! 😊
Well, Seve, you are right; it's never too late, but I wish I had known these things as a teenager. They would have SIGNIFICANTLY changed my life journey. I am glad Joshua and Ryan have tried teaching this in some high schools. To be honest, it can start even in elementary schools, and kids and parents(!) would benefit from that greatly!
@@SunnyKindJourney Definitely! We teach plenty of things, but how to succeed in life from many (not just financial) viewpoints obviously isn't among them.
@@SunnyKindJourneythe basic principles of "reduce, reuse and recycle" are starting to come into UK primary schools 😊 I know it's more from an environmental standpoint, but it's a good start!
I prefer to think of it as simplifying my life rather than minimalist. I also think of simplifying as being like an onion, it’s layers so declutter in layers. Keep it simple. Get rid of literal rubbish first, any items that are broken or damaged, it’s unlikely you will mend them, if that’s still too hard then put a date you have to fix it by & if you don’t then it goes. Lots of good tips in this video
I’m just starting my journey, so I really appreciated this video! You really help me understand and have made me think of my why. The part where you said it’s not about aesthetic, but lifestyle… That was something I needed to hear!!
Great insights ✨️ And yes, it is a journey, internal and external, as you said 🙏 Define your WHY, and Experiences over Consumables, are also important. Regards from Helsinki 🇫🇮
Thank you brother for a great video. You speak in a calm, authentic manner. I am glad that you emphasize joy and kindness in our quest to simplify our lives. All the best!
Hi save, i am from indonesian, very2 like your video, before iam thingking only mayority women like minimalis, i am shocking men also do that.. always support n waiting your next video.. tq for shariing..
As much as I try I cannot get family on board to stop with the gift thing.. it’s honestly become a battle .. I set a boundary asking them to please donate to an animal shelter but NOOOO it’s still gifts .. i don’t want to manage in my home don’t like and feel bad it’s just me donating it … I love a simple life less for me is less stress less anxiety and I feel free … stuff just stuff is a very heavy prince too Pay for my sanity .. love your videos very inspiring .. Thankyou :)
Having kids means a lot of stuff...I feel like since having my son over two years ago and now my daughter, I am constantly decluttering, reorganizing, pulling new things out, old in storage because they grow so quickly! I aim for a minimal-ish lifestyle, but as I do not know whether I am done having kids and your body changes so much during and after pregnancy, I have boxes of clothing for each phase of my body changing, and boxes for each size for the kids. I don't see myself getting rid of all of that, because it goes against the sustainibility idea, too...long story short, I think minimalism works less well in the years that your kids are small.
Exactly! Havinga toddler and a baby and facing their endless demands while your body keeps shifting sizes forces a mother to deal with so much stuff that you would actually want to. Besides, the extended sleep deprivation, the mummy brain, the lack of two available hands and arms to do whatever you need to adds further frustration. I’m there as well and I agree 100%!
I felt like that too. But in hindsight I also realized that apart from clothes and other necessary baby stuff, there was a whole lot of other stuff I could have decluttered that was unrelated to the kids. So may be just work on other things? ❤😊
Tää oli, Seve, siis paras minimalismivideo ikinä. Olen ollut minimalisti (kutsun itseäni recovering maximalistiksi) vuodesta 2017, ja kaikki alkoi the Minimalists ensimmäisestä elokuvasta ja mun elämäntilanne silloin. Olen seurannut kaikki 😃 The Minimalists, the Minimal Mom, Joshua Becker, Courtney Carver, ja niin monet muut. Ja tämä oli 7 vuoden ajan paras video ikinä. Toistan tää. Nyt tiedän, ku ihmiset kyselee mikä se yks video olisi että he katselisivat! Kiitos!
Hei! Minulla on paljon huonekasveja. Ne saa elämään ja menestymään Suomen talven yli hankkimalla (Bauhausista) siroja valkoisia/mustia 20W led-työmaavalaisimia ja asentamalla ne kasvien kohdalle (ulkoikkunoiden yläpuolelle). Niihin tarvitaan jatkojohdot, ellei aivan vieressä ole pistorasiaa. Muuten valaisimet ovat eleettömiä. Nykyään sytytän nämä valot ensimmäisenä aamulla, koska pimeään vuodenaikaan ne luovat illuusion päivänvalosta. Valot tekevät hyvää sekä minulle että kasveilleni.
@@SunnyKindJourney Hei! Huonekasvit ovat pääsääntöisesti läheltä päiväntasaajaa tai ainakin alueilta, joissa on selkeä päivä-yö -rytmi. Olen itse sammuttanut valot jossain iltayhdeksän-kymmenen tienoilla, silloin omakin kroppa ymmärtää, että yö on tulossa.
Ok I am a minimalist but I love putting outfits together and not even going out in them- i keep circulating pieces out but im starting to walk out from stores with nothing. As I shop I find one thing then hold onto it throughout the time I’m there… then I talk myself out of it
Great! I do that too and practice this with my daughter as well. On top of what you said I would also add that when eventually realizing that I really dont need all the pretty things I find in the shop, I get really happy😊
Same story here. A ray of hope: I recently heard that when you declutter your own things only, your family members will notice over time the changes happening within you, that you become happier, more calm and apparently they will follow. This will take some time but it can happen. Good luck😊
I do not want to become a minimalist. I want to get rid of mental fussiness, to reclaim some mental space, which became extremely scarce onceI had a baby and it’s even worse now that we are expecting a second one (last 5 weeks) and we do not know yet if we have to move in a few months. On the one hand, I’m badge cooking and hoarding the pantry so that I do not need to go get groceries as often in the next couple of months. On the other hand, I’m desperately trying to get rid of stuff or at least put it away until I can figure out what I want to do with it. I do not know which and when I will (if ever) recover my previous weight, so I’m keeping my clothes in 3 sizes and for all four seasons until I know for sure which will no longer be mine. And it’s a lot of clothes, something I had already left behind. On the contrary, I barely have shoes now because my feet grew and most of them were hurting me, so I let them all go recently. And then there’s toys and babies clothes. We were fortunate to be given tons of second handed items, but it’s hard to keep track of all the inventory, specifically those things that is for when they are older. Then there’s the issue if things that do bring value and joy to me, but are extremely fragile to be around toddlers…. so I had to store them until they are reasoning and careful humans. I struggle to shrink even further my inventory in order to make room and mental space for the coming baby and her stuff. I feel lost and pushed aside when I do not want more of my stuff to go away and at the same time I (and the whole family) need to adjust to fit a new member and all her required equipment. It’s exhausting and overwhelming!
I love Project 333, been doing it for a year now and will change to my fall capsule in two weeks. It’s easier to dress in the morning, I get more compliments, I feel more comfortable and fashionable and have greater appreciation for my clothes and my clean closet! Packing for my vacation was easier too. Three cheers for Courtney Carver!
I’ve seen minimalist content creators throw coat hangers away just to buy matching wooden ones. That’s wasteful. Use what you’ve got. I am replacing my plastic clothes pegs with wooden ones. Only when the plastic ones break. I’ve bought the wooden ones 7 years ago . I’ve got 3plastic pegs still in use.
Yeah.... but if i actually clean up and declutter then i have no excuse for NOT doing the things i need to do, and also it will show up the fact that even if im tidy and organised and fit, i still wont get to have the life i want (hasnt worked in the past), so why bother? I'M still here and THATS the problem in my life
My biggest issue is something you know you want, take a video game for example. You know you want to play it at some point, but you don't have the time to play it at the moment. You also know that because its Japanese for example, it will go out of print relatively fast. Thus if you do not buy it now, you'll likely be paying 3x the price when you're ready to play the game. It brings value to your life as a game is an experience. Its not the best use of your money, but knowing its something you want to experience, its also not smart to wait till its out of print and you're spending even more than the MRSP for said experience. This is the mental gymnastics I go through with the idea of minimalism. Maybe I am just over thinking it too much and its smarter to just spend 3x the price when you're ready to experience it as opposed to buying it right away and have it sit there for a year or more. Use the money for something different, like invest to build more money, then you'll be able to afford the 3x price later on type deal.
Some people get visual overwhelm (from seeing everything everywhere) and need much fewer items and the calm (white/empty) aesthetic to feel calmer on the inside. Some want a Pinterest/show home all the time, whereas others have more tolerance for the "lived in" look. ... I always prioritise function over aesthetic.
Whaaaaat en tienny yhtää että oot suomalainen 🤣 Aattelin kyllä että hahaha jonku muunki maalaisilla aksentti kuulostaa samalta ku suomalaisilla, mutta ei tullu pieneen mieleenkään että oot suomesta 🤣 Oon ehkä vähän tyhmä, mutta en tienny että minimalismi aiheisia tubettajia ois suomessa niin oletin että tottakai kaikki aiheesta puhuvat on ulkomaalaisia 😂
@@SunnyKindJourneyHahah 🤣 Tosi kiva että tää aihe pikkuhiljaa rantautuu suomeen 😌 Itse kiinnostuin minimalismista aikana kun KUKAAN ei puhunut siitä suomessa. Katsoin sit jenkkitubettajien videoita minimalismista. Mutta usein ulkomaalaisiin tubettajiin on hankalampi samaistua kun asiat on niin erilaisia ulkomailla/amerikassa vs suomesta. Kiva ku suomalaisetkin herää tähän että minimalismi voisi olla vastaus moneen asiaan.
Your priorities will change for sure and it will probably be more difficult. But it doesn't mean you shouldn't start a family if that's something you want to do. After all minimalism is not just about living with as few stuff as possible, it's about surrounding yourself with things that are truly valuable to you
There's actually a home tour video already on my channel :) It's filmed by my partner 3+ years ago but still we live in the same house and haven't changed too much since then 😊

The hardest thing I found about being a minimalist is trying to get people to stop buying me things to fill up my apartment and food pantry!
I feel you. 😆
I get it haha 😄 Communicating my preferences to others helped a lot though 🌿

I soooo Agreee!! People, even if I tell them not to bring me presents, they still do!!😅😅
Totally agree with this
100% agreed. My life has become so much better since I’ve transition to minimalist and I no longer buy anything unless is daily items that I need.
For me it's the same. I feel so free when I don't have all that stuff weighing me down. Thanks for watching! 😊

Some people get visual overwhelm (from seeing everything everywhere) and need much fewer items and the calm (white/empty) aesthetic to feel calmer on the inside.
Some want a Pinterest/show home all the time, whereas others have more tolerance for the "lived in" look.
... I always prioritise function over aesthetic.
I just watched the movie “Limitless “. I see no connection between minimalism and the movie.
I have a minimalist home with a maximalist garden 😂

Whaaaaat en tienny yhtää että oot suomalainen 🤣 Aattelin kyllä että hahaha jonku muunki maalaisilla aksentti kuulostaa samalta ku suomalaisilla, mutta ei tullu pieneen mieleenkään että oot suomesta 🤣 Oon ehkä vähän tyhmä, mutta en tienny että minimalismi aiheisia tubettajia ois suomessa niin oletin että tottakai kaikki aiheesta puhuvat on ulkomaalaisia 😂
Haha 😄 Oon vaan tyytyväinen että kukaan ei tunnista mua. Pahinta olis jos jotkut tunnistais kadulla ja kaikki yksityisyys menis 😳😂
@@SunnyKindJourneyHahah 🤣 Tosi kiva että tää aihe pikkuhiljaa rantautuu suomeen 😌 Itse kiinnostuin minimalismista aikana kun KUKAAN ei puhunut siitä suomessa. Katsoin sit jenkkitubettajien videoita minimalismista. Mutta usein ulkomaalaisiin tubettajiin on hankalampi samaistua kun asiat on niin erilaisia ulkomailla/amerikassa vs suomesta. Kiva ku suomalaisetkin herää tähän että minimalismi voisi olla vastaus moneen asiaan.
Your house looks too cluttered for minimalist (level 5-6) imho
How would you say it should look like for a level 5?
What if you have kids, history
Your priorities will change for sure and it will probably be more difficult. But it doesn't mean you shouldn't start a family if that's something you want to do. After all minimalism is not just about living with as few stuff as possible, it's about surrounding yourself with things that are truly valuable to you
