Thanks so much Jenna. That's really sweet

I had also put a LOT of paintings on the walls of one of my rooms. I began to eventually notice I would be calmer in other rooms of the house, but would become more stressed and my mind would begin to run within stressful thoughts within a few minutes of settling into the room with all the paintings all over. They were my own paintings too, so they have been my babies. But, once I noticed how I was being affected, I was able to finally take them down off the walls. I also have a hard time parting with plants - also my babies - even the fading ones. But I've finally managed to let some go. Lovely video, Sophie!

I've spent half a century decluttering and it continues. I'm so over things - and especially thinking about them. Of course if one doesn't have much then one doesen't have to even consider them. Today walking in the nature reserve here high in the alps (lots of snow of course), I was reminded yet again how free one feels when one does not have to look or think about their stuff. Just walking in the snow carrying nothing but my phone in my pocket, was the ultimate freedom - I can really understand how some people find extreme minimalism so satisfying!

I’m definitely being much more mindful in my purchases this year. If I need to replace a broken item or an old worn out piece of clothing I will but other than that I’m being very intentional with my purchases. I have been decluttering for the past 1-2 years but not continually. It depends on how I’m feeling as I have an autoimmune disease. I’ve decided that it’s not a race and just to go at my own pace as long as I don’t give up. We have lived in our current home for almost 20 years and have accumulated a lot during these years. I am watching as many decluttering and minimalism videos as possible as I find it very motivating and inspiring. Thanks for these suggestions.😊❤️🙏

I've done some decluttering a few months back and it definitely made me so present to how much money I'd spend on very inexpensive items - things from the dollar store or even other stores but were $3 - $5 or so each. It didn't seem like much to spend at the time, but as I saw so many items I had used one or two times, or not at all in some cases, and the pile of those things must have totaled $200 at least. It was sad and it has caused me to think so much more about randomly picking something up off a shelf just because I happened to see it and it seemed great in some way. This alone has made things better for me. I do need to get back to decluttering again though. I was feeling better getting rid of things and then I stopped for some time. Great video. Thank you.

I live in Queens NYC and this city can be the paradise for both people who love to consume and collect but surprisingly also the paradise for those who are keen to declutter and detach from things. There's this concept of stooping, where you leave things you don't use anymore in front of your house, so someone who has a need for it can simply grab and take to its new home. There are several IG pages of this communities , with thousands of followers. I made a video of the things I've stooped and some that I have let go.

This was definitely helpful! Decluttering can feel so overwhelming. This made it more practical!

I donated old sheets, comforters, curtains, beach towels, clothes, etc. still got more to go, next it’s old movies, kitchen items and I have given myself a timeline. By the end of this year, I will donate all of my furniture and just keep the essentials.

Thanks for this💛 I enjoying decluttering every month. So much love all your content💛❣️

Thanks for sharing your tips for decluttering! Recently when moving house I realized how much unnecessary stuff I had accumulated over the years, Threw away lots of them but still hanging on to some especially books & kitchen accessories, After watching your video it reminder me to start reviewing the existing stuff again!

I have such a hard time with unwanted gifts. I have a few of these. One is handmade and the other one is from a person who expects to see it when they visit. I sold my kayak this past weekend. That was huge because I love kayaking, but haven’t done it in a few years. The kayak reminded me of a lost friend. There’s a sporting good store that rents kayaks so I can go again when I want to. But I do feel a twinge of regret about the kayak and wondering if I’m taking minimalism too far. I buy food and have the urge to donate certain things right away. The last time I moved I had a semi full of items all on my own. That was embarrassing and ridiculous for one person. I called myself a minimalist then too, but taking a much deeper dive into minimalism. I love your very calm peaceful videos.
