    My biggest reason to own less is: cleaning is sooo much easier then 😂

    I've watched countless CZcamsrs over the years, and many turned out to be less than transparent, pushing misinformation or faking authenticity. This channel stands out as the most genuine one I've come across. It's unfortunate that some people are more attracted to illusions and flashy presentations than to real, honest content.
    Kyra, please never quit CZcams, we need more creators like you! Love you.

    I recently gave away 3 plants that either needed a bigger pot or divided. I have severe pain daily and just don't want to do that anymore. I never thought I would get an illness but I did and the more I let go of the easier it is on my life. And the best point you said in this video Kyra, when you give, you are helping others. And most are struggling with the cost of everything now!! I'm still donating things little at a time. 🌻

    Hi, I also am a minimalist. Ironically, I work in a store, however when I see people buying a bunch of stuff, it’s my motivation to keep on track with this minimalist lifestyle!

    Owning less makes me more focused on me, my goals and overall wellbeing. I put more energy into nourishing myself with healthy outside impulses. I‘m more mindful and confident. To trust myself comes easier thanks to practicing a slower, calmer and minimalistic lifestyle. It‘s so efficient also - it helps me to get things done quicker! It hasn‘t been like this from the beginning, but every step brought me here! I do feel so much more gratitude for what I still have! Great video Kyra! ☺️

    You are SPOT ON about garages. I live in SoCal and garages aren't as common here as in other parts of the state or country. . The area I live in in Los Angeles are mostly single family homes but with no attached garage. you get a driveway/car port mainly. SO I"m totally jealous of people that have garages because Im going to be honest. I would definitely be using it for storage of the inventory for my small business. Anytime I'm in a suburban area with homes with garages, the cars are never parked in them because the garages are jam packed with stuff. All you have to do is drive around on a weekend and you will see garages opened up. If and when I get a home with a garage, im going to use that space wisely!

    As I’m getting older and I see the trends like The Barbie Movie and Stanley cups come and go I feel proud of myself for resisting any temptation to participate. I just tell myself … in a month nobody will care about this and you will still have the money you saved! Too bad I couldn’t think like this when I was younger 😂

    I used to have an ENTIRE wall in my room with bookshelves overflowing with books. I’m down to ONE bookshelf now! There’s still a lot of books on that shelf - probably 300 or so. BUT I’m not done yet. It’s a work in progress 😅
    I first had to be real with myself & get rid of the ones I was never going to get to reading or ones I kept “just in case” I needed to reference them. Now I’m going through different Bibles/Concordances/dictionaries & letting go of most of them as well as other books that are EASILY accessible online!
    I’m going to get rid of books when I’m done reading them if they weren’t my favorite & the ones I know I won’t read again even though I liked them! I’m trying to only keep the ones I KNOW I will read & reference again & again. It’s HARD letting go!

    Hi Kyra, good to see you. I've been following you for years. I think I found you from your plant content over the years. I'm far from a minimalist,prob a maximalist, but I still try to glean insight and inspo from you. I hate clutter. I have a small business I run from home, so I have inventory here. It's not my ideal situation but trying to make it work by having less personal items cos there's always going to be stuff for me. But yes, a home feels so much nicer when it's less cluttered . It looks bette and is easier to clean!

    I found your channel earlier on in my shift to a more minimalistic lifestyle, and I really love all the helpful tips you give, and just the transparency of your journey. The best part of this lifestyle for me, particularly as a large family of seven, is being able to stay on top of, everything in my home. It’s not easy, but it definitely helps to have less.

    🤦🏽‍♀️I have been messing up for the last 4-5 months🛍️I started my minimalist lifestyle in 2016. I was doing so good, until I came across a Walmart Haul video and then a thrift store shopping video. UGH! In my silly head I thought,well 🤷🏽‍♀️, it doesn't cost as much. I lost weight & that was my driving force. Started watching these minimalist lifestyle videos again, and I had to unsubscribe to the haul vids. It was hard, not gonna lie. 😂Part of it was feeling guilty because the girls are so sweet & I felt bad.💁🏽‍♀️ I believe it is needed for "retraining" my mind.

    This is the first video I have seen of yours and boy can I relate! I wish I would have learned what you're teaching when I was much younger. I recently decided to resign from my 26 year career at the same company. I was miserable. I took a leap of faith because I did not have another job lined up. Your statement "Looking for a job is a job." You couldn't be more right! I have gone into full blown declutter mode! I am on the road to Minimalism and I couldn't be happier! I am embarrassed at how much I partook in over consumerism! The amount of items I tossed and gave to Goodwill was embarrassing, but I knew it had to be done for my well being! Now I LOVE being in my home! It's peaceful and while our income was cut in half due to my resignation, I'm happier than I've been in a long time. I've become an expert at finding ways to reduce expenses and I'm having fun with it!!

      Thank you so much for sharing your story! It sounds like you’ve made some really brave decisions, and I’m so glad to hear that you’re finding peace and happiness through minimalism. It can be eye-opening to realize how much stuff we accumulate, but decluttering is such a powerful way to reclaim your space and mental clarity. Don’t be embarrassed-you’re making positive changes for your well-being, and that’s something to be proud of! The financial adjustments can be tough, but it’s inspiring to hear how you’re turning it into a fun challenge. Keep going-you’ve got this! And thank you so much for being here 🤍

Also love that by owning less im more resourceful & make sure I use up what I have & truly love it ❤

    I still own many things, with some I don't want to part, others I have not yet managed to let go. But still, even at the point I've reached, moving is so much easier. The biggest benefit is that it's becoming easier to clean with each declutter. I love a clean apartment, it's the best for my mental and physical health (I'm sensitive to dust), but unfortunately, vacuuming and dusting is not fun for me, so the easier it gets, the better. I feel peaceful.

    I've been going crazy buying everything for the past few years. Now I have an old month old baby and I'm overwhelmed by all the stuff I have - I walk into my house and I'm stressed. I've been putting off decluttering but I'm finally getting to the point that I can't procrastinate on it anymore.
