    "Everything becomes very sacred". A wonderful point. Thank you!

    Great point! Sometimes minimalism can be a source of pressure and of making you feel like no matter how much you declutter, you always have too much of everything. For that reason, I prefer to think of it as "essentialism", cultivating what you love. Beautiful video as always!

      I like that word 'essentialism' otherwise we are just in the trap of trying to live with nothing and feeling inadequate if we have anything eh!

    I'm practicing to stay in the moment! My head often tells me of the things I "need" improve my life or help me with my job. Currently I'm dealing with my compulsive buying of almost 12 years. I got rid of my store credit cards, I unsubscribed from all the marketing emails, I deleted the Amazon app and I avoid going to the mall. Surprisingly, I am not in debt but I realize of all the money I wasted...but I have to forgive myself and move forward. I am a work in progress and hope that soon I will be able to be happy and grateful with the things I have and also have a clean and minimal home!! A minimalist life💖

      What wonderful work you have been doing! well done. I am impressed. It is not easy to make changes so I honour you.
      The results will show themselves to you in your life you have now. Sometimes we like to be hard on ourselves because the significance we felt from our addictions gets lost when we change our behaviour so we continue to be hard on ourselves to meet our needs even if it doesnt make us feel good. If you fancy, look up Choice Theory by William Glasser. He helped me a lot to change my mental chat....

      Well done! I think, too, it is a process of discovering the true self, not the one who just reflects society. Strip away everything except what you love and you will know yourself truly. It is good. You will LOVE you.

    When I was first married 42 years ago, I came across a book called, Living more with less. I read it over and over because with each stage of life, our needs change and we adapt. I appreciate your videos so much. It reminds me that the things we enjoy and spark joy are important, but when things become a burden, then I know I have too much and it’s time to reevaluate and purge out the “things” that no longer bring joy.

  • @BSG0005
    @BSG0005 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    As silly as this sounds, this short video is life changing, it’s like I had a sudden epiphany. I need to LOVE everything I have, otherwise it has no place in my life. I took 3 minutes to go through mine & my husband’s shoes. Turns out I only love about 7 pairs! I was also holding on to shoes that I USED to love, when I realized they had been replaced by NEW favorites & therefore I no longer needed to keep them! After three minutes, my closet floor was simple and neat and I had a huge pile of shoes to get rid of. It felt so cleansing! I took a picture of the simplified shoe closet along with the pile of things I no longer wanted. I refer to these pictures to help remind me how I felt when I purged

    Oh my goodness! You are so right! My husband and I moved in with my mother to help her and her house was so crammed full of things she didn't even know she had. It took me awhile but I convinced her to let me declutter and donate. It's been a year-and-a-half and I am going through again finding things that we don't need. Just sent several boxes to Goodwill. It is very freeing not to have so many things. Thanks for all your great videos and all the wonderful ideas that are so helpful. 💜

  • @taralanger9279
    @taralanger9279 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    You really said everything, this is really the life advice that I know is true.
    I just left you a big comment on another video so I'll try not to gush again but this is the first time in my life I am hearing this kind of information, and just by following your channel and doing this, I am finding so much help, joy, peace, and healing.
    Where I live everyone does everything the same. Everyone is in this fight to be the most successful, to have a home that looks like a magazine, always the latest fashion of clothes and shoes, even your kids have to have the latest fashion and techs or they will be bullied mercilessly and here (Wiesbaden, Germany) you are very judged about everything. People judge you even on the foods you pick and the amount you make at dinner parties. There is just this mold of a person of what you are striving to look like and it feels like a jail to be this person, and like a failure when I just can't achieve it.
    But after watching your channel I feel like I can dare to be different. It doesn't have to be this way. It doesn't have to be about stuff. I don't have to be this person, or have a ton of clothes and shoes. I can be free of it and not suffocated by it.
    I have even been teaching my kids. We have been going through their rooms with them and giving a lot of stuff away. Even my kids are happier. Their rooms are not so stressful to them.
    And to my shock my three year old is absolutely loving helping me make the tooth paste and self care products. We have his room purged and organized, we showed him where everything's place now was in the room and yesterday he came up to us completely ready for bed. He was tired and so he went into his room, changed his own pull up diaper, and had put his own pajamas on and came to tell me he was ready for bed.
    We were completely speechless!! But his room is so simple now that it's like he is so comfortable and knows what to do and where everything is, and it's made him this confident little person. I never even realised how much stress all the stuff had put on my kids. But I am really seeing changes in them too, and seeing the little one put things back in this new place for it is keeping the room clean and it's just creating this atmosphere for him where he loves to be in his room!
    My older one lived too long in the chaos so we are still working on him but he even comments on how nice his room looks.
    Anyway I'll stop now, I'm just so excited that I have so much to say. Hehehhee
    Thank you so much for all this information, it's life changing! ❤

    I love your point that when we have less what we do have becomes sacred. It’s so true. When we only have what we truly need and love, we appreciate each and every item so much more because it has a specific place and function in our lives. I think that minimalism and mindfulness go together very well. Another great video, as always! :)

    Hello! My virtual friend in Australia 🇦🇺 told me about your page & you tube after my life took a huge change recently. I was forced into releasing everything almost I had. What could be packed in my small car! First many things went to charity shops, my beloved bicycle went to my daughter in law, treasured photos ( before digital age) huge bin to my son for safe keeping. It was like settling my estate myself! 😂👌. I took my fav mugs, plates, wine glass, glasses, flower vase etc. Things I wanted with me. My bin of yarn, sewing box, CD's! movies and of course my books! After carrying boxes of books to my car I am recently warming up to kindle books 😂
    My virtual friend thought watching you would make me feel better about giving up my things I have had
    since Well forever! She was right, and now you are reminding me to live simply as I did when my kids were little.
    I live with my daughter right now, I have inspired her, through your videos, to declutter. She has taken to
    it nicely and happier for it! I sew more ( repurposing her things & repairing my grandsons cloths) knitting cotton face wipes with my cotton yarn I have and cooking ( reminding my daughter it's healthier)
    I have spent yesterday watching several of your videos, and need to go back for some recipes but
    thank you for your inspiration, getting back to basics, & the Joy of life!

    Well put. After our son and his family moved out, my husband and I downsized to a small 1 bedroom apartment.
    After a year, living in our new space, it feels like home.
    With less, we do more. I was able to focus on maintaining a balcony garden, take French lessons and workout.
    We're much more happier in our new home.

    Minimalism is a process that is different for everyone, isn't it? We all have our own set of values that are important to us. Living aboard is fairly minimalist, to begin with. I do however collect books so my husband has built me bookshelves/cases throughout. I also collect vintage handkerchiefs, I have close to 40. And cutting boards...my daughter thinks having 6 is a lot. LOL...I can have a small wardrobe/shoes or a very few nicknacks, but the books/hankies/cutting boards are a must. We're all different. Thanks for bringing to attention that minimalism isn't just about living with nothing, it's cherishing what you have and letting go of the rest. Cheers!

    Volunteering at a thrift store (the one I love benefits women and children of domestic violence) really gives you a perspective on how much “stuff” there really is in the world. And how easy it is to accumulate more stuff. It’s actually quite insidious! I am constantly aware of my own stuff habit and have begun to get rid of something if I want something new. And love an opportunity to “gift” things to others. I am 70 now and do not need much. Many of my beautiful things are being carefully given away as quietly as possible. And it is so much fun!

    • @FairylandCottage
      @FairylandCottage  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      yeah I'd say you see it all in the thrift shops because I have heard if things dont sell they have to go to landfill... We really do accumulate too much eh! gratitude for what I have is what I do and like you do 'gifting' to others.

    I love this video!
    I’m starting to become a minamlist because I just want a simpler life.
    I spend about an hour trying to find something I feel good in and always end up wearing the same thing, why did I waste money on something I don’t feel ok in.
    This lifestyle is opening up my eyes what’s important and what makes me happy.

    I love the look of minimalism (adore the look of your home!) and purge my stuff often but I have too many interests which require stuff, being an artist as one example. Living in central Canada as well with our -40C and colder winters adds a whole other pile of winter clothing that is required. But I agree, many of us have way more than is needed to live comfortably.

    • @FairylandCottage
      @FairylandCottage  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah it is totally dependant on interests and area you live thats why its not one size fits all thing.

    I sold my home in the city last year, did some traveling around Canada in my van, now I'm settling down and living full time at our family cottage. I declutered so much when I sold my home, and I'm continuing to declutter here at the cottage. It truly is so freeing on the mind. I love your videos Nianh, I'm actually about to make two of your flower pot hangers, while sitting on the dock in the sunshine. ☀️🌾
    By the way, I used to be MidLifeVanLife, I've changed back to my name, since I'm not in the van any longer. (But I'm still in midlife, Ha! Ha!)

I wonder if you've heard she's started following Jesus of the Bible & left her New Age beliefs & practises behind. I had a similar experience 6 years ago after being a professional teacher of Witchcraft (& follower of Celtic Paganism) for a couple of decades, & I have finally found peace & joy. Anyhow, blessings to you ~ I am really enjoying your content & how you present it!

    Such a kind, gentle explanation of minimalism. So many people get bogged down in what minimalism means & the right way to do it, that no one wants to try for fear of getting it wrong. Everyone should see your video to learn that it's alright to have your own, personal, minimalism choices. :-D

    I guess I am a minimalist because this is how I live. You talked about utensils. I have one plastic spoon that is burned on the end and a masher. I had a turner but it broke. I was going to buy another but I have gotten to be a wiz at turning an egg with two spoons. Maybe one day I will buy another turner but who needs it when you can use two spoons? ❤❤❤

    I had gradually been decluttering things over 18 months, you know, the sneaky wife thinf of 1 bag a month, so no one would notice or think they were suffering without itemX. 3 months ago we had people call and say they were popping by, in 5 minutes. Hubby vacuumed, I did dishes and Mr20 (adult son) picked up lounge room. Hubby, who comes from 5 generations of hoarding farmers realised how easy clean up was so I told him why. He got on board with what I was doing (savec him work). Saturday he got fired up to declutter even more. We're not going minimal, just massive decluttering. I suppose too that minimal is different to everyone.
