    I do for me now. It's seems selfish to some, but only the one's who no longer get something from me, outside of friendship. I read a lot, go to museums and small day trips. I enjoy good homemade food, animals, long hikes and taking care of myself physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. I am a natural introvert and I don't fight that anymore. I rid my home of so many things this past month, the idea that I had to have a home looking a certain way, with certain things, for what? Nothing. SO much happier.

    Wonderful, thank you Benita. I’m so glad you mentioned “family” in the toxic relationship scenario. Too many people think you must continue those relationships regardless, bcuz they’re “family.”

    • @BenitaLarsson

      Yeah, that’s the hardest part but life’s too short to keep people around that are not good for you.

      Yes, i feel the same... even my homeopath and other healthcare profs told me to keep in contact with my ( toxic)family members, Just because we are family....but i know now it made me feel depressed and tired for many years!!
      So thank you for your thoughs about this...

    The biggest mistake i made when divorced was moving to the Village where my family lives....but i had a severe burnout and didn t think much about it...but i stayed depressed and tired for many years, cause of my family mixing to much in my live...i still wasn t free....only now with lockdown i re-discovered myself....thank you so much Benita for the idea of toxic People!!...it helps me a lot not feeling guilty!! Greetings from Belgium.

    Congrats on making your decision to leave your corporate job! That was a high stressed type job. You have made some great choices in moving forward in life. Part of what you're experiencing is aging gracefully. It's wonderful to step into the next stages of life while doing self care. I love that you take long walks each day - good to clear your head and appreciate nature. I too have cut toxic people out of my life - Whew how nice is that?

    Congratulations on your decision to leave corporate life. I recently left my corporate life behind after 40 years, and moved out of the city. With your videos as constant encouragement, I have let go of things that no longer serve me, and I am settling into a slower life routine. It has felt challenging at times, not having things fill up my time each day. But I feel this space I've created will bring new possibilities into my life. As always, I look forward to your content!

    How thrilling, Benita! Congrats on working for yourself full time and doing what you enjoy!
    I agree with number one on your list. As a recovering, highly-trained people-pleaser, I didn't figure that one out fully until age 40. It truly does make a huge difference.

    • @BenitaLarsson

    I just watched a minute and have to comment straight away.. People's time management skills are usually so bad that they can't realize how someone with a peaceful demeanor can work full-time and more. They fail to understand that it's exactly this approach that enables productivity, combined with simplicity and organisational skills.
    Benita, now that you're no longer in the corporate world maybe you could make a video about that experience? Just a thought - I like all your content anyways x

As for the tips, I had to cut my own sister out of my life because she was the worst energy vampire, and after even just talking I'd have anxiety issues. People thought it cruel, but sometimes we have to look after ourselves first and foremost.

    The first tip is much more important than one would first think. Especially if it is about toxic family members, who _can_ be harder to deal with than friends. The 'breakup' is difficult, and can take quite a while to process, but it is absolutely worth it in the end. The peace of mind that comes with it is liberating on a whole different level. In my experience I finally felt that I could make my own choices without feeling bad about it. Now I can just be me, and my shoulders are not up in the ceiling anymore.

      @@brendashortt1073 that’s a hard one. I find that there are situations like yours where one cannot just step away from 100% whether out of love, compassion, or obligation. I find what helps is doing a declutter of other current obligations to make room for one that is the most important to you. Is there a way to give less time to certain things to allow more for one thing? Is there help available or extra hands?

I love your videos, they are so calming and inspiring. I have been a minimalist for a few years now yet I always get some motivation to improve or change things when I watch your videos. The tip about toxic friends is so so true. And I did this myself and never looked back. All the best for the future! x

    Congratulations, Benita! I retired almost 3 years ago and because of the tumult of the last year and a half, plans were changed. But as a minimalist, it was ok and I used this time to pare down my life even more. I stopped having my hair colored and love the low maintenance (and the look) of my silver hair. Thanks to you, I went through my possessions and donated a lot of clothing and costume jewelry that I haven't worn in years. I run/walk every day-weather permitting. All these things contributed to making this period more serene than difficult. Thank you again for your continued inspiration, Benita.

    Hi Benita, you look so well and sound so happy. You have obviously made the correct decision for yourself. It has taken a few years, but I follow your seven tips. They make sense. I grew weary of having to meet people for drinks etc. in the evening. Being an early bird and an early morning power walker meant that I was tired by the evening. Chilling out in my garden with a glass of wine is my idea of bliss. I meet friends for lunch these days. The only good thing about lockdown meant I could organise my house to suit my needs. No more frantic rushing around looking for keys, chargers etc. I love your channel, and I look forward to seeing what you do next. Best wishes and continued good health to you. Sláinte.

    I love your little tortie! Life got dramatically easier for me because of covid. I’ve only had to commute to work a couple of times and I can’t believe I used to do that 3x/week (we used to be able to work from home 2x/week). Life is so much more peaceful.

      Yes, while COVID has been bad on all levels it did have that little silver lining!

    Congratulations on being able to quit your 9-5! How wonderful to be in a position to do that.
    These are all extremely good tips. I do many if them already and I have definitely enjoyed a slower pace of life. I'm working on decluttering to slow down even more and eventually move continents/countries to marry and enjoy a new direction in life.
    I used to think slow/steady was boring but I realized it was very stabilizing

    Thanks Benita, yet another great video well done and to take inspiration from. You mentioned 7 tips that are simple to implement but can really slow down life in this fast-paced world. We should really live well and everyone should implement your advice. Thank you so much.

    It was so nice to hear from you about letting go of toxic relationships, I've been doing that recently but still felt so guilty about it. Especially in relation to family members. These were great tips overall and I agree with and practice pretty much everything! The only exception would be that my husband and I love doing things together more than anything. We love experiencing a little of each other's interests and seeing each other happy in their element is super rewarding for us. It helps that we share most of our interests but still, I'd say that as long as you're truly happy and fulfilled when you're "joined by the hip" that's fine too 😊
