Thank you very much for these! So easy to implement and so helpful in improving our quality of life. I love it! Keep these coming. I love your channel❤😊
I love that...does your home serve you, or do you serve your home? This is the question that caused us to recently sell our large family home and downsize. As empty nesters looking ahead to retirement, we didn't want to spend all of our time and money to maintain our home. We are now in a smaller place that I feel serves us, rather than the other way around! Thanks for your content. I recently found you and am enjoying watching your videos.
So easy points but very effective. Great video ❤
Simplicity is the key - hallelujah 🙌 ✨️ 😊
I fully agree. I have got rid of several items and realised that for years now, I have been using them, but mostly to justify buying them. I could have saved myself money and space, and would have lost nothing.
Unsubscribing from junk email is a bad idea. Unless the email is from a credible source you know or do business with, clicking unsubscribe on random junk mail tells the spammer your email is active and you’re observing it… which will only lead them to send you MORE junk mail.

I am experiencing this millennium situations before I got married, married to my husband then having a child. The cycle keeps going on and on as my husband never looks at me up to this present.
Love this. I definitely need to make decluttering a regular part of my life. I try to add a new daily habit to my life every 6 months or so until it just becomes part of my daily routine. I commit to doing those things daily. I don’t set a time limit on them, so some days I might only read one page in a book and that’s ok. Some things I do every day now consistently are - guided meditation when I first wake up ( even if it’s only a 3 minute one some days), read a book, learn a language on Duolingo, write in my gratitude journal, walk the dog ( only excuse is if I’m sick). At the moment I’m adding daily drawing or painting but struggling a bit with consistency with this one so far 😄
The fact is that buying something for Americans is the norm, it is done regularly and it has become a habit. For me, as a European, this is very strange, we are used to living by nature, walks, the quality of communication and buying something as necessary and of high quality, so that it serves for a long time. Therefore, to change such a habit, you need to work on it, find what really makes you happy. Because shopping gives joy only for a short period of time. Where people are long-lived - they engage in hobbies, communicate with each other a lot and in a positive way.
🎉 great tips, Thank you
This is beautiful.... I want some peace...some quiet...a few really great friends... I like reading, a good chat...a good cup of coffee...truly this has made me happiest..thank you for sharing!
Currently do the things Becker recommends. Totally agree, it’s all overblown.
Or you could realize that time is precious and do ALL of these at once. The results will be worth it faster than if you do one or two a month or whatever.
Amen !!
Subtract from your CALENDAR!!!! that has helped us reshape our whole existence … started w/ removing from schedule!
I have to have electrolytes with the water
Thank you Forever Joshua !
I often remind myself... K.I.S.S. keep it simple stupid. Great video.
Society is a clown car best not climb in 😂
Thank you 🙏
Tip #6 was phone free morning also
This is the best video yet on this topic. Your delivery and breakdown 🙌🏾
❤
Every night before my husband and I go to bed we always say to each other our 3 Gratitudes for the day.
Beautiful!
Our perception of a "successful life" in modern times is predicated on the business as usual (BAU) system that the "powers that be" created (with their money/debt control of everything) and continue to let exist. Therefore: 1) Get rid of your mobile phone and other wireless devices 2) Get off social media completely like you don't exist 3) Get out of the cities and learn to do everything yourself WITHOUT external supply chains 4) Get together with others that think the same and have competent PRACTICAL skills (e.g. I'm NOT talking about coding here) Thankfully (according to some like me) the powers that be have decided that BAU won't be around much longer and they are forcibly collapsing us at an accelerated pace. If you have two brain cells to rub together, you should be able to conclude the same from the events of the past 4+ years. What is planned for us in the near future (5-10 years) is a million times worse, so again get TRULY independent before reality forces you to, and stop equating success to the accumulation of imaginary digits in some database somewhere that can be taken from you instantly based on what you say or think (go read up on bank BAILINS). Remember folks, China is a prototype for what they want for the rest of us, and it still gets far worse from there.
How just purposing to “do the dishes” (often and consistently) changed my whole relationship with my entire home and greatly improved my mental health. Lol. As they say tho. One thing leads to another…which can be a bad thing or a good thing. But it also is true that decluttering played a huge role in that also. But that too wasn’t what most folks would call a “big” thing. Well you know tho. Thank you Dana K White. Lol. Another one for me was simply consider myself and my own needs for a change and say NO more often.
Drink more water Water that does NOT contain city water poisoned water chlorine/floride & endless other purposeful injected chemicals
I've been purging a lot lately. At almost 59, I want to pare down the possessions, because I do not want my family to have to handle every single item and have to make a decision about each one once I go into eternity.
Amen amen amen! Draw your satisfaction by walking in Gods ways . I have spoiled myself rotten with a very good income and l can tell you it was all a meaningless waist of time. Our wicked culture has normalized madness in its material pursuits. We were created to bring glory to God. I can tell you that is the happiest most fulfilling life possible! Thanks Josh for what you do!
This water thing is some strange american obsession. Old, proofen medical systems like chinese medecin or ayurveda don't consider this as healthy. They suggest to listen to your body and to dring only when you feel thirsty (older people might loose this sensitivity). Drink when you take your meals, drink warm water/tea/soup. Stop drinking all the time because somebody tells you it is healthy.
Everything in moderation. 100% hustling is not good, but having extremely simple life is maybe also not. Work, not too much, be happy with what you have, strive for more, but dont let it affect you too much, everything in moderation..
I’m I the only one to hate a phone ! LOL
I'm watching this video first thing in the morning on my phone... oh well
This video has been a great reminder that I definitely need to drink more water 😊
A lot I already knew the hardest bit is putting into practise. Thank you
This was just what I needed today, as I am embarking on a renewed effort to de-clutter and improve my mental health in preparation for a new chapter in my life.
I need to move more, declutter every day, and start my gratitude journal, thanks for a wonderful video to keep me on my improvement path!
Very encouraging advice. Thank you.😀
Hallelujah!!!! The daily jesus devotional has been a huge part of my transformation, God is good 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻was owning a loan of $47,000 to the bank for my son's brain surgery (David), Now I'm no longer in debt after I invested $8,000 and got my payout of m $270,500 every months,God bless Chloe Linda Henderson 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸..
Hello how do you make such monthly ?? I'm a born Christian and sometimes I feel so down 🤦 of myself because of low finance but I still believe in God.
Thanks to my co-worker (Alex) who suggested Ms Chloe Linda Henderson.

#11: Do one small good deed every day; e.g. buy a meal for a homeless person, share something positive (love, forgiveness, compassion) on social media, pray for other people and for world peace.
New subscriber here, have been binge watching your videos. I too am a minimalist now which I wasn’t in my earlier years, I am 58 yrs. I get a much better kick out of seeing my savings grow than I ever did shopping. I wish I could have seen your videos in my 20’s and 30’s, would have had a lot more money now. I have gotten my 2 daughters to start watching your videos too 😊
I try to do these daily. I really love following you for your encouraging posts. Thank you

You need to move to The Shire.
James Clear's Atomic Habits is a MUST-READ! He frames it clearly. Your habits emanate from your identity. Be intentional in the habits.
I am currently reading Atomic Habits, so far, I agree.
