More and more, I am realizing that minimalism is more about prioritizing what I value, rather than how little things I can own...at first, I was obsessed with becoming the 'perfect minimalist,' but now, I try to find a version of minimalism that meets my unique needs.
@Chloe's Crazy Life I agree with both you and Victoria. I shouldn't judge myself by how few things I own and be unhappy about it; but rather I should happy that I'm on the journey to owning fewer things and loving the things that I do own.
In other words if you are artist, its difficult to be minimalist, because artist like to combine the variations....but some say chaos is actualy order.
Well, minimalism definitely helped me save more money. I'm not spending it on fast fashion anymore, not buying a pretty thing the moment I lay my eyes on it. Still have a lot to declutter though.. it's a work in progress 😊
I am JUST starting out in my minimalism journey and this is so relatable to me!!! I am a maximalist at heart but I'm finding how much joy minimizing my things is bringing me! I've already really minimized my personal care and a lot of my wardrobe. I'm now starting to do the same in other areas of my house. It's quite a process but is awesome!
Being obsessed with how many things you own is against the idea of minimalism, IMO, which can become an obsession within itself and cause anxiety and perfectionism. For myself, being a minimalist is about having "just enough" that you are not mastered by either your possessions or your obsessions...but finding peace and prioritizing and focusing on what is truly important in your life. Sometimes I prefer the label "Essentialist" instead of "Minimalist".
Victoria: I was born a minimalist; I started decluttering at age two. I would line up my toys in the hallway and tell my mom to donate them. As I got older, I would tell my mom to donate my beautiful church dresses to the Salvation Army. I wanted other children to feel pretty and happy when they went to church or another special occasion like a birthday party. I would secretly throw out no longer used or loved items in the garbage collection. When my depression became severe, I turned to thrift store and online shopping. I now prioritize my spending and continue with decluttering on a regular basis. Is it difficult to follow a minimalist philosophy when you are naturally a maximalist? I admire your minimalist journey. I am happy and joyful that adopting a minimalist lifestyle has brought you peace and calm.
I love the fact that you’re following the philosophy instead of the extremes of minimalism. Life is beautiful when there is a balance. I appreciate your video because you’re not getting rid of everything (in the name of minimalist), you are keeping a balance, you’re keeping things that you value.
This is such a good reminder, none of us are perfect. We are all on separate and personal journeys. I'm currently starting out minimalism with just using what I have and consuming less. Thank you for this beautiful video!
I cant copy each word that you said because my english isnt fluid but i understand and.... woaaaahhhhh i feel so un-judgment, thanks for your words, you gave me such a peaceful and warm moment to my heart, love from Peru 💞
I live in a messy way but lately minimalism is taking a way into my life I've been decluttering a lot and still feel I've got much left and I guess my enxiety is because of that messy room

I love your content and what you create. Everything you put out is beautiful and intentional. I always take something important from your videos. Be gentle to yourself because I think you’re surely on the right path. Recently I’ve started to do my research on minimalism. Like you I’m a maximalist.. Specifically with clothes because fashion is a big part of my lifestyle. However I’ve learned it’s not about being a perfect minimalist but rather, valuing what’s the most important to me. Basically having a minimalist mindset to everything. Such as clothing/fashion. As long as I have more of a sustainable and minimalist mindset to the things around me that’s what matters the most. I’m starting to declutter and although I have a long way to go being a maximalist, I already feel my anxiety and comfort of attachment go away. P.s. I love your choices of clothing pieces 😍
Encouraging and inspirational video! Thank you, Victoria :) As you say, it's important to not compare oneself to others but to focus on one's one path and progress. I, too, feel that minimalism (once I get there) will help me to live more mindfully and with more intention. Actually, it already has had a positive impact by making me more aware of the essential things, and helping me to say "no" to things that don't really matter. Also, you inspired me to buy Fumio Sasaki's book. Excited to start reading it soon
Thank you for your thoughtful message! It really resonated with us. We recently posted our moving vlog and skincare inventory, and got some comments that we own too much. Granted, we are still at an early stage of our minimalism journey, we still very much appreciate the minimalism philosophy and strive to change our old habits in terms of shopping, time management and personal relationship. :)
My boyfriend and I are definitely maximalists. We love things that way. We prefer things around us our home feels homely that way. I find minimalist homes look bare and clinical. Each to their own though. I do find minimalism videos helpful when I do want to be inspired to declutter though. Which is something I do periodically. It's nice to get rid of some old stuff and have a tidy home. Yes we have a lot of things but everything has its place. I love books especially and he loves dvd's and c.d's. So we have allot of those. It's been useful to pass the time during the pandemic.
Wonderful video. I too have realised that minimalism is a personal thing for each person and I def don't judge. I also just go at my own pace and am happy with how I have decluttered my home and my mind since starting on this path.
Gracias Victoria, te felicito por enseñarnos con tu ejemplo a ser mejores por dentro y por fuera, que en la vida no necesitamos de tantas "cosas" para ser felices y disfrutar el camino. Un abrazo ♥
My family background has turned me to own this and that. To have this clothes and that. It's in my culture and surrounding. It's challenging to turn into minimalist. I'm trying bit by bit
This is very encouraging! I've started my journey to minimalism 2 years ago. I would like to believe that I've already gone so far since I used to have and keep sooooo many things just because. It's a bit disheartening though when I watch other minimalists on TH-cam since their kind of minimalism is the one I have the expectation and assumption of, of what minimalism looks like. But I now know I just have to accept that this is an ongoing process for me, and not all minimalism looks the same. It's not all about the number of things we own. For me, it's about knowing what I value in my life and cherishing them. Anyway, thank you for yet another beautiful video! Your content and filming and editing style really inspire me 💖
🤙🇬🇺 I totally hear you. I too practice minimalist living as much as I can but I still feel like I have a lot of things. I keep the things I love and use often or I must say “my favorite “ but like you it’s a journey and definitely a learning process so I’m still trying to figure out what works great for me ❤️
I’m starting my journey on becoming a minimalist, as a maximalist. Thank you for helping me realize to not achieve the “perfect” minimalist lifestyle, because like you said there are no certain requirements. Every one is in their own journey ♥️
Yup ... just realized that how the idea and meaning of minimalist is something i still figutre it out and how to apply in my life. And it's okay. Because every person have a different paradigma and how to apply anything about minimalist on their life 🤗
Youve explained it so well. We re on the same page 😍 its just that im still sharing room . Cant wait to have my own space to have more peace of mind☺️🤗
Thinking that minimalism is about how many things exactly one own is too simplistic. Minimalism is so much more than that... for me it is a state of mind where you are always looking for what your own needs are in the present moment, which means that things and thoughts will always be changing, you keep the essential ones in any state of your life, and that change is the beauty That continuos learning process that I call life :-). So minimalism for me would be a tool, a mental guide line for saying good bye to things, thoughts, circumstances, persons... when you not longuer serve each other's fullfillment, happiness or personal needs at that moment. Sometimes it is a good bye forever, others life will bring you together again in one or another way...
Oh darling, maximalist is an aesthetic and an art movement. It's about colourful, joyful designs, unexpected fun pairing of things, about breaking these boring unnecessary rules imposed on us. Being a clutter, hoarder or having poor time management skills is not the same as being a maximalist. Also maximalist don't necessarily own more things. It's just that the things they own are more diverse in comparison to the sea of beige and gray you'd find in a minimalist's environment. :)
It's too Empty, It gives me anxiety😳 when she opens the desk drawer🤯. Feel like I'm in a white padded room. Couldn't even finish the rest of the video🤯. I guess I'll never know if this was just a comedy🤣 video or serious🧐. To each their own. Some like spongecake and some like cherry cheesecake 🍒🧀🎂❤.

Literally trying to be a minimalist is so stressful for me

You are like me. I've been studying minimulism to reduce stress and bring some control to my chaos.

loved you comment dear Christine! Hope everything goes well for you! 🤗
Why do you wanna be boring?
Thank you Victoria. I simply needed to hear this today. 🙏🏻

Youve explained it so well. We re on the same page 😍 its just that im still sharing room . Cant wait to have my own space to have more peace of mind☺️🤗
I used to have a clean and neat house, but since I have a 3 year old toddler, it's hard to have a house that is always neat and clean. 😂😂
I know the feeling ...

Minimalism is so much more than that... for me it is a state of mind where you are always looking for what your own needs are in the present moment, which means that things and thoughts will always be changing, you keep the essential ones in any state of your life, and that change is the beauty That continuos learning process that I call life :-).

Some gov’t and societies don’t want us to become minimalists and frown upon talking about it coz of capitalism.
I am so similar...

Looks boring. Reminds me of that boss from imagination movers. Dull, beigh, and boring. Don't drain the life out of maximalists
