    To be honest, when I saw the video title, I scoffed and decided to watch for a laugh. But in 10 minutes you have made such an impact. You are free! I am going through my house right now to see what I can donate.

    You are a breath of fresh air.❤ These days all you see is buy, buy ,buy. And celebrities pushing it. I am trying my hardest and get down to the basics and I think I'm winning a bit. Loved your video. Just found your channel and looking forward to watching the rest. Love your home. Its so calm and peaceful😁 I really want that!

    I absolutely love your minimal home. As a minimalist myself this is so inspiring on my way to declutter more and ending with the bare essentials i really need. Owning less give me more peace of mind and more freedom. I also love the spiritual path of decluttering, it’s a path that takes time and that’s oké. Thanks for sharing your home tour, love it.

      For hobbies, there might be ways to minimize.
      I sold my kayak. I love kayaking and now rent one often.
      I sold my ice skates. I love ice skating and now borrow them from the rink.
      I love dog agility. I sold my dog agility equipment and now visit a dog park with built in agility.
      I still have my sewing machine, but there is a community sewing group at a shop in town, so I could technically get rid of it.
      I reduced what I needed for gardening down to a trowel and gloves. I use the same gloves as winter gloves if I ski. I rent skis from the same sporting goods store that has kayaks.

    No books? No crafts? No instruments? If I ever become a minimalist, I’d need so much more. You’re really an ultra😉. And you probably can move in an hour. Greetings from Germany, Monika❣

    • @Exploravore
      @Exploravore  Před 4 měsíci +13

      Haha yes I’ve timed it- I can pack up my whole life in an hour. And there are no rules- minimalism is just about keeping only the things that bring you joy. So if that includes instruments and crafts then that’s great!

  • @Robert-qm1ld
    @Robert-qm1ld Před 4 měsíci +12

    I’ve been minimal for 11 years, backpacked for three years and watching some of your videos, thinking yes, okay, agree. Then I see this and now am reminded I have way too much again. Love those tiles, for sure.

    • @Exploravore
      @Exploravore  Před 4 měsíci +2

      That’s soooo cool you backpacked that long- that is one of my dreams!! And you can always simplify again- like anything in life, it’s a constant practice, a constant dialogue with your authenticity 😊

    I own very little as well, but we are family of 6, so there is more plates, forks, etc. I love that you give names to your plants and stuff animals, that is so cute.

  • @virg3022
    @virg3022 Před měsícem +3

    (TLDR: You're super cool. I'm inspired.)
    I'm in the process of moving apartments and using the transition to do an extreme declutter and life refresh. It feels amazing to release items (and the attached identities) that no longer serve me. After re-listening to Fumio Sasaki's "Goodbye, Things" audiobook, I found your channel through this video, which is fantastic. Now I'm working through all your uploads. I think I'm a little in love with you lol.
    But seriously, your videos and wisdom have come into my life at the exact right moment. Nearly everything you say resonates with things I've been chewing on, but I needed a person/visual role model to support me psychically on this journey. I have many deep and beautiful interpersonal relationships, but lots of people in my life are mired in their own addictions to things, drugs, stimuli, etc., and it's hard to talk about these topics without coming across "preachy" or like I'm condemning them for their bad habits when I discuss the detriments of mine. Whenever I talk about becoming a minimalist, my family kinda scoffs and goes "You? But you love clothes" or "Where's the fun in that?" or "Here, she goes again, off on another Project," even when I communicate that this isn't me going through another temporary aesthetic/surface-level phase, but a deeply-rooted lifestyle metamorphosis. That I'm not trying on a costume, I'm taking old ones off. I'm not "becoming" anyone but who I am at my core.
    There's also the fact that I'm 24, so whenever I talk about going sober or "giving up" partying/smoking/""enjoying my 20s"" I get some pushback (not from all or even most of my friends, but just enough that it sometimes sends me regressing). So it's amazing to see somebody older (but holy shit you are gorgeous and more glowy/youthful than some of the college students I currently teach as a master's student) as living proof that A) there's no rush to figure all these things out instantly or before I turn 25 or 30 or whatever arbitrary benchmarks I've internalized and B) there's also no reason to procrastinate living in true serenity and bliss.
    A couple of days ago I completed by 500th consecutive daily yoga practice. That practice, along with meditation in general, has changed and saved my soul.
    My whole life I've struggled with EDs, bouncing between years of anorexia/restriction and binge-eating/extreme weight gain and obesity. Both my parents struggled with morbid obesity, had gastric bypass, etc., so I've inherited these demons/addictions. I want to have kids one day, so I know I have to break this generational cycle for my hypothetical future family, if not myself alone. Maybe I change my mind about children, but for now, imagining them and the life I want to give them is giving me strength to fight.
    Geneen Roth's "Women Food and God" really changed my life a couple months ago by truly unlocking in my mind the spiritual roots of my disorders. I'd did CBT through high school, but treating my ED with Buddhist practice has been such a game changer. Like you, I'm an obsessive/"over-achieving" type, which is why I've fallen prey to damaging extremes (asceticism then hedonism in an endless Samsaric loop), but now that I've harnessed all of my go-getter energy into a Middle Way approach to wellness and minimalism (as it works for me), the harmful habits are "falling away," as you say, like dominos. I'm peeling back the layers too.
    I'm still just beginning my journey in so many ways, but already I have more time and energy to do what I love and what truly matters to me, like reading (I've read 55 books so far in 2024 and countless individual poems --- poetry is my primary passion), painting (I finally finished a large oil painting I started a year ago that I can now hang in our new home), and writing (I'm finding so much pleasure working on my thesis right now, and the more I read, the more I write, and the more energy I have for everything in between). The good begets more good, and I think your channel is further nourishment/inspiration as I continue to evolve.
    So thank you thank you thank you for sharing. I'm subscribed and look forward to future videos. Lots of light and love from North Carolina (I'm living by the beach too! At a similar latitude to San Diego, but on the East Coast) 😊

      Thank you for sharing all of this- this was enjoyable to read. Sounds like you are on a beautiful journey. And that is a great way to put it- “taking off old costumes..”. I agree. Not everyone will understand, and some may even judge, but stay strong with what feels true. It’s kind of fun to be the black sheep ;) Welcome to the family here, and blessings as you continue your journey to simplicity 🙏🏻✨🦋🩵

    i love your space!! i feel like minimalism makes everything feel and look better. and of course it’s not about aesthetics, it’s much deeper than that with environmentalism,
    financial independence, gratitude, anticapitalism, etc. another roll-off benefit is that it simply looks and feels great tbh

    Size Türkiye'den yazıyorum. Her sıkıldığımda, duvarlar üzerime üzerime geldiğinde, videonuza koşuyorum. Bizim ülkemizde empoze edilen tek şey, çok eşya çok gösteriş çok mal mülk servet. Oysa ki benim en büyük zenginliğim zaman olmalı. Evinizin içini sizinle dolaşırken sanki farklı bir cennette dolaşıyor gibi oluyorum. Kaç defa izledim bilmiyorum. Ama size karşı içimde müthiş bir sempati doğdu. Uzun yıllardır minimalizm ile tanıştım ve çevre ve insan faktörüne rağmen çaba vererek mutluluğun keyfini çıkartıyorum. İyi ki varsınız ❤

    Omg, i have spent months purging my condo. Looking at this video, makes me want to purge more! I went on a plant craze, and because my balcony gets awesome light my little plants have turned into monster floor plants.

      Plants are wonderful- if they bring you joy then keep them! Minimalism to me is just keeping the things that truly add value to your life- and that will look different for every person ❤

    Hi! I just came across your channel and I think ur awesome ! I love your minimalist way of life and your vibe! It is inspiring me since I get overwhelmed with all my clutter and want to take steps to be more minimalist overall!! I was wondering if you could post a vid about the benefits of using the coconut oil bar soap for your hair and as your primary soap for cleansing? And if you’ve been using it for a long time and/or how you came about wanting to try it? My hair gets greasy the second day after I wash it with regular shampoo and conditioner. Thank you! 😊

I have a minimalist haircare routine coming up where I will go over all of that 😉 That’s awesome you are beginning the steps to decluttering- just having the awareness and setting an intention is a powerful first step! You will get there 👊🏻💥 I also have a vid coming soon about my top decluttering tips to help people embark on their journeys 😊

    As a person who has a lot of possessions but is very organised and tidy I'm thinking: Where are your journals? Where is your vacuum? Do you have a toolbox/toolkit? I'm keen to declutter but my mentality has to change first - have you always kept it minimal? Or do you come from lots of possessions maybe?

    • @Exploravore
      @Exploravore  Před 4 měsíci +3

      Just keep one journal at a time and when it’s done I burn it :) No vacuum- my house is tile and hardwood so I just do old fashioned sweeping. No tools- I’m not savvy with repairs and I’m a renter so if something needs fixing my landlord handles it. Been a natural minimalist my whole life except for in my twenties when I was living in Las Vegas I accumulated a lot of clothes and other things. I always felt oppressed having so much stuff though, and began extreme decluttering when I turned 30. I am so much happier now with less :)

    I appreciate the home tour. First time ive seen your channel btw. First of, i dont think its too little stuff, i think its just the right amount of stuff for You and Your usage. Personally i strive for a minimalistic home myself and i no longer have curtains, plants, large tables, chairs or wall decor. The only decor i have are my candle sticks. However, i do Love my Linen, pillows and comforter (several). Since i live in Europe where its a cold climate mostly all year around i need more of a variety and in general More textiles. Also, with a dog, theres even more textiles to be needed. To keep warmth and for hygienic reasons one simply need alot of textiles. But i dont complain. I love my variety and i love every bit of textiles i have accumulated over these past years. Its simply that you keep what you need, want and love. I have decluttered Tons of all sorts of stuff over the years. Mostly sold, some have been given away and even some of it has been thrown away. I have managed to save alot of money and im quite satisfied and pleased with myself and my progress. I have had stuff that I bought from stores that i actually managed to complain about Years later (had to be a bit clever..), and from which they gave me the possibility to get replacements or gift cards in return. I chose new stuff as replacement that i actually needed more and that had better quality, and right on time for sale too. I still have stuff to declutter, especially since im planning to upgrade to a better apartment, as soon as possible.. This gives me the opportunity to go through Everything i have, which has been Alot. Things take time and all. So far so good, but fatigue is a real thing when one has been decluttering for several years in a high tempo. Im starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel though. Hope to sell more stuff soon, that will lighten my load. But i gotta say im one of the lucky ones, so i appreciate everything good that has come my way and still comes my way.❤

      Sounds like you have been on quite the journey! Thats great you are honing in on what works and feels best for you. I hate rules, so definitely don’t prescribe a one size fits all for minimalism- it’s all about just being mindful with consumption and curating a life that most authentically represents who you are and what you value ❤

    This is so satisfying, literally everything i go for. Also nice to see someone else who doesnt care for 10 million spices/different food options, my partner has a ton of sauces and stuff but i only buy the same 5 foods and only use salt for a spice. Yeah sounds boring but it makes my stomach happy! I dont cook much besides eggs and rice and tbh you can switch them up so much with little ingredients.
