What's one unusual minimalist habit that you have?
What's the best swiss army knife for a minimalist.
I'm a minimalist for two years now but I could never bring myself to cut down on my plants...I have so many plants and I keep propagating them 😅
I can’t let go of books. Reading on a screen doesn’t suit me, so I’ll order books and donate when finished and only keep those that I would like to refer back to or really meant a lot to me.
does never having a girlfriend count as minimalism? hahahah
I really love fashion but I also LOVE giving away my clothes and shoes. Pretty paradoxical I guess...
“Too many people spend money they haven’t earned, to buy things they don’t want, to impress people they don’t like.”
-Will Rogers
Very wise phrase
Why is it that it is always the quote from somebody else. Who said it? Will Smith, Johnny Depp, Will Rogers? We'll never know
so god damn tru thats why i love lana she is woke
i tought that was quote from a guy we shouldnt talk about
Onur Sarikaya Tyler Durden
me watching the intro before realizing she wasn’t serious: 👁👄👁
SAME hahaha
😂
I was like ummm wdym u “let it flow” 🤔
I was shook at the let it flow part 😂😂😂😂
@@aqsam4032 meeee too
When she said "I no longer use pads or tampons I just let the blood flow freely" I literally thought she lost it. Lol
I thought she must be really lucky to have such a light period!
What she mean tho ? I didn't get it
@@mariamhussein3263 I think the whole intro was her being sarcastic. I expected her to say she now uses a menstrual cup, like a lot of other videos I've seen.
There are actually people doing that. Saw it on news here in The Netherlands. Or... she "catches" the period and "water" the plants with. Was really a no.1 subject in the most important news of the days. Quite explicit as well :))
She could enjoy the Diana plan...go into menopause, spend obscene amounts of time feeling like you may internally combust. You have no period and a portable heat source :-)
To me, clutter in life correlates with clutter in the mind. When my space is clear, my mind feels clear and when my mind is clear, my space is clear. Anyone else feel this?
Tristan Piers i hear u!! clear space is not being stressed enough for sure when talking abt mental health
yeah so true! its all correlated
I feel this SO MUCH, like literally my anxiety got so much better since I went on a minimalist journey :)
Yes!!!! My mother's house is SUPER cluttered. I hate it so much, because I always feel anxious or depressed from seeing too much stuff. When I have my own space, which is very basic, uncluttered, and clean, I feel better. A LOT better.
Yes! Makes so much sense. I can’t study when my desk is messy, and I feel overwhelmed when my room is untied
Who else was "fascinated" by that intro?😂
Yeah I was about to sell my toothbrush already XD.
@@ericgulden9597 😂😂
just to confirm, she was joking about all that, right?
Lol! Glad you liked it
@@ericgulden9597 😂
I like this definition of minimalism: it is not about having less, period, but having less and less of what you don’t really need. Because things that are essential ones are things you can have more than just the fundamental.
Exactly. To me minimalist is not being consumed by the material but not necessarily getting rid of absolutely everything either and just keep two shirts and no toothbrush Lol. But I agree about weeding out of your life the people that don't bring good vibes into it.
You had me in the first minute not gonna lie 😂
9gagger detected
Yay!! ;-)
Me too! I was definitely giving the side eye! 😂
I almost clicked off then I saw your comment 🤣🤣🤣
Less is more
The less you have the more you value it.
Not always, try working with less kidneys, lungs, heart, brain, limbs, etc., then holla back at me!
Omg Nate 🥰🥰🥰
@@worldview730 if you only have one lung you reduce the risk of getting lung cancer by 50%
@@worldview730 sooo..... you want 5 kidneys n lungs
WHOAAA!! I WAS LIKE NO WAY when you said you didnt use toothpaste/toothbrush! Im glad you were joking LOOOOL
Same hahaha
When she said she let her period flow omgg
Girl I was like, this bish crazy when she said she let her period flow. Nope!
I lost it when she said she doesn't wear pads on her period 🤣
Well I didn't use it for 6months. I used a natural one called miswaak- 50p for 1 and should last u for 6-8months depending on you
That intro scared the heck out of me 😂
😂
Me too 🤣
Foolish comment,fool🎛️
“You have succeeded in life when all you really want is only what you really need.”
-Vernon Howard
Love this
So true.
Currently in the process of decluttering my whole life. The statement about the contacts in your phone resonate so well. I not long removed a number of contacts from my phone of people who I haven't spoken to in years or no longer add value to my life. Felt refreshing!
“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”
-Leonardo da Vinci
I’m naturally a minimalist. I’m bad at holding onto clutter, whether physical, psychological, or otherwise
This is me. I don’t have to try to be a minimalist because I don’t like having too much clutter in the house.
I’ve watched so many videos about minimalism in the last couple of years, but this is the only one that reflects my way of thinking. Minimalism has nothing to do with the amount of spoons or t-shirts you own; it’s about keeping only the things you consider valuable in your life. And that also applies for relationships and people, which is, in my opinion, the most important aspect about it.
Being surrounded with this little ecosystem of your own, is the most pleasant and liberating feeling.
Minimalist aren’t hippies, they are people who understood that life can be better and happier if you choose not a lot of average stuff, but instead a few possessions you adore.
This editing style feels different, I love it actually :3
Glad you like it :-)
I didn’t realize that the “let it flow” was a joke. 🤦🏻♀️ I’m relieved. Love your videos!
I’ve always been in awe of minimalism as a lifestyle because it allows you to value what you have compared to “always needing the next trendy item” that consumerism culture creates in the US (especially). Valuing what’s in your life= a more meaningful life= happiness (and more time to focus on what you want to do/create).
I don’t know if it’s because I’m an introvert, but I’ve always liked having a few deep relationships in my life compared to having a bunch of friends I sort of half know and sometimes like being around. Also contributes to a more meaningful life in my opinion
Such a great video! Definitely sparked some inner thinking and exploring!:)
True.
Agreed
Love how down to earth this video is.
Just like catching up a good old friend for a causal lunch, who then tells me how she feels after few months practicing minimalism.
Agree !
When you beat Matt D'avella at his own game...
No one can beat the GOAT
RIGHT FFS ?!
@@Lullablabla yeah nice vid, but matt has got the game down..
I feel calm watching this, seriously.
I'm glad. :-)
Yes! ❤️ Calming Vibes 💙
Go look at someone else,fool🔱
"I just let it flow" really got me like: o_O
Was my face too haha!

You should start a podcast! How you narrated this video really calmed and put me in the mood to declutter. Subscribed! ♥️
I don't know how not to fall in love with your videos, you're so smart, pretty and tallented!
I have the minimalist habit to save very easily, only buying clothes when i need, save the watter from washing vegetables to water plants and let go relationships that no longer serve me
Yet another meaningful video Lana! Thank you so much for taking the time to create this! :)
So inspirational 💓 thank you for sharing it, so valuable! I've only recently, around half a year ago started to finally declutter my life - by having a proper look at people and things I surround myself with which are not bringing any value into my life. Step by step xx
So true
Love your videos
Amazing hook of an intro.
This is so beautifully spoken and filmed! I love watching your videos. Mostly when I paint. It gives me a feeling of getting in touch with myself. Keep spreading your thoughts. Keep being you 💛
That's really awesome that you watch my videos while painting. Thank you so much x
I want people like Lana and Jonna Jinton in my life...someone to remind me what it's like to feel alive!
Edit: Saw your website. Being involved in the DevOps community, I can say that's an epitome of minimalism.
omg yes, I admire them both so much!
I’ve tried going minimalist and I feel it’s improved my quality of life!! I can’t wait to hear about your experience Lana 💜
That intro is awesome, I'm struggling with minimalism and recycling. I've started on both for couple of years now. Letting go of items is the hardest part. I now have more self control when it comes to shopping so I believe I am on the right track. Your video is so inspiringand your voice is so calm.
Honestly your video came right in time that's exactly what I'm doing right now, decluttering everything and especially my relation ships, people around me, to create a safe space, a lovely place, full of good vibes and love :)
Thank you so much
This video has really spoken to me on a deep level.. I'm realizing that I truly need a change in my crowded life
I see a new video from Lana, I click. :)
On a side note, thank you for inspiring me to start my own channel. Your video about starting TH-cam really helped :)
I feel this woman,cos whenever the need arises for a good cleaning of what's left of my pearly whites--or in my case golden yellows, I just sit outside and open my mouth and let the pluver birds do the job.
This upping your sound design and subtle aspects is just great. This feel to your videos is what attracted me in the first place. I just keep trying to observe these things.
Damn, that plant loving ex will be pretty upset when he sees this video.
You are SO INSPIRATIONAL! Love your sharing on TH-cam! 💖
Thanks so much! x
Great video Lana! We really need to teach ourself other ways of living life such as minimalism. we can have a lot if we are able but consuming less is always beneficial for us and our surroundings. this is a time where we all should look at a way of living like this so we can consume less and help not only us but others too
Every so often I get distracted with the world and eventually come back to realizing that for the most part I’ve already got everything that’s meaningful to me. Realizing that I’ve got a body that moves in wonderful ways if I make the effort, people that are interesting and loving, books that can be acquired for cheap, and a God I’ve always believed in but tend to forget has always been there.
your voice is so smooth and pleasureable to listen to! especially while you're talking about such important things
In the beginning I was like WHUTTT?!
Haha, great way of sharing your message. Been looking at minimalizing & decluttering for years. It was a slow process but worth it in the end. Makes you feel so much lighter and in control.
Great channel Lana!
Personally I always understood minimalism like that. I have and buy what I really need and what I feel really benefits my life.
I like what you said make sure the people you value also value you. This is very important and something I only really learned later in life. Letting people go is ok along with the stuff you don't need. Keep life simple.
I want to be a minimalist but my kids are toy hoarders. They suddenly care a lot about the broken toys they never use when I’m holding a trash bag.
She got me at the beginning of this video😂🤦 great content as always btw
Stay safe Lana❤️
Thank you!! x
If she got you,she would marry you,fool🔱
" If it doesn't bring you joy let it go and being surrounded only by things and people you really love "
Idk if its just me but I am really interested in minimalism without having to call myself a minimalist... But I think minimalism itself is about the personal journey it can't be the same for everybody.
Everytime Lana post a video it feels like a brand new movie trailer just came out😂😂😂😂(great video keep it up!!)
Haha thanks so much!!
This video was so timely for me - thank you. Also your lovely voice and the way you edit using a voice-over is so relaxing - very ASMR I love it!
Lana your definition of minimalism is sensible. In the beginning of this video i thought of writing to you that giving up on different products is not intelligent. happily, in the later part of the video you pointed out wisely that using a hairdryer is okay. This video is a like a fresh breeze. Thanks.
Everytime I watch your videos, I feel calm and peace. That's when the person you listen to is very pure and serene. Keep going. May you achieve a great success Lana..
Treat her like a psychologists💲
I gotta say that I was vibin with whatever she said
Her soothing voice and low-key captivating visuals were just absolutely relevant
U gained my respect and a whole night of binging your vidoes writing stuffs down
Thank you and looking forward to next vidoes
Your videos are great. Both the message and the format. Keep going on !
That intro had me like "This is not what i thought about minimalism" but after the whole video, As usual it's always much more informative and useful. Haha Thanks Lana 🙏
Great video, Lana!❤️❤️❤️❤️
So inspirational, I think I will get rid of air to breath, takes up so much room
This intro was outstanding 👏🏽
I have interested in minimalism and you have posted this video. I'm stoked ! Thanks !
You read my mind... before to watch this video, i was thinking about it, thanks!!!
Thank you for yet another awesome video
her voice brings me so much peace. I need a podcast
That sounds weird,fool⚠️
I believe it when she says they are only names in your phone. Makes a lot of sense. Having a few friends can make your day.
I love this. I realised that in order to properly work on what I want to, I need to have a very minimalist space. Only the necessities to work, or else I end up procrastinating far too much. It's very interesting to see so many other reasons to do so as well.
Hey Lana. Great content as usual, I love your videos. One thing I’d like to point out as a person with some filmmaking background. When filming b-roll for this type of calm vibe videos, make sure the horizon is straight. Films use uneven horizon as a way to signal distress. Something to keep an eye on when filming but also easy to fix in editing by just cropping in a bit and rotating the image. Best regards from Finland ❤️
I have seen so many videos on minimalism but this by far tops all videos. And the best take on Minimalism . Thank You So Much for this video. Love from India.
You have ALWAYS been a dream woman to me. The more videos i watch, the more I crush on you.
Love your storytelling style :)
I've learned that I need to get rid of stuff and collect friends - or rather, I need to be a kind friend whether they are good or not. I'm not here to judge them anymore, but to bring goodness to those I meet. Love thy neighbor! Thank you.
Underrated humor!
Very funny

Having light periods is a blessing!!
I got some heavy ones and it sucks lol!
Thanks for the subtitles you really do understand your fellow introverts. Sometimes I like to just watch your vids in complete silence at 5:00am in the morning.
The fact that you are wearing white/light pants while talking about free bleeding truly had me so concerned with how that would work at all... and then when it clicked it was a joke, so relieved
This is another great content, thank you for this. I love your consistency Lana, keep doing what u love, ily! 💖
Thanks so much!! x
I admire the cinematography in your videos
Amazing video
ICONIC INTRO.
clearing emails; trash, sent, etc., saved things on Insta, etc. that no longer lift u up or clearing old photos on your phone are good ways to digital de-clutter. De-cluttering is the Fasted way to shift your life with physical things and digital. If it doesn`t lift u up when looking at it, something you use or doesn`t bring u any joy or value it may be time to Discard, including people or friends as well. peace .
So inspiring! Loved the beginning a lot 😉😁
Haha thank you! x
Lana ,your voice is so soothing, great work
I absolutely could not agree more! We should all do our part to reduce our carbon footprint on the earth! Love, love, the message, positivity and energy you give out!
the dislikes are the people who left the video before finishing the intro xD
The intro threw me off so much hahahah
Edit: also, when you randomly started speaking swedish I was like ‘what?! did I switch videos?’ because I’m swedish hahah
Great content as always!!! You got me with that intro 😅
Thank you Stella. Haha! :-)
I don’t have any pictures up in my house. I just love the white walls with the odd mirror to open up certain areas even more ❤️ it bothers people who visit but it’s so nice to have blank under-stimulating space to rest my eyes on.
Whew! You had me looking at the screen with a scrunched up face. I guess that's my workout for the day. Thanks!
I was hypnotized by the truth of what she was saying or maybe the calmess of her voice.
when you said "i just let it flow" i was like well how the hell does that work without spilling through your jeans 😂
It felt so relaxing watching your video :)
your voice is so soothing and calming❤️
Awesome video! So relaxing and very interesting! 😊😊😊
I'm amazed by the amount of minimalist TH-camrs I follow
Ååååååhhh... jag vet värför du gör dina videos på engelska, det är en självklarhet, jag förstår. Men när din svenska röst kom som från ingenstans kunde jag inte låta bli att säga hur fint det lät. Själv, jag har pluggat svenska i tre år men när en som kan svenska odentligt pratar det, så tycker jag fortfarande att det är vackert. Tack för den lilla meningen, det gjorde mig glad idag.
Although the title and the video did not meet my expectations as a life of minimalist this video was informative especially about your personal preferences. Your videos are all very personal and so now a quarter million viewers of yours must be feeling very close to you. I am too.
There's a very fine line with minimalism. I'm so glad the toothpaste thing was a joke because I was thinking to myself wow, that honestly requires MORE things, time and energy than a toothpaste and toothbrush.
My friend went through his "minimalist" phase and he ended up having to borrow all this shit from me that he threw out. Insanely annoying. One needs to make sure they aren't minimizing like playing some video game trying to get a new high score from having fewer things. I don't think people should be counting stuff either trying to reach a target number.
Soo eloquently put together! Minimalism just makes sense! It will for everyone at some point in life! Thanks for the video! Subscribed ✌🏽
Beautiful video. Graphics and content 👏🏻 very well done
I love the humor in this video
You really own your style. Your calmness and simplicity shows in all your work and the way you carry yourself. You have a cooling soul
