    ABOUT A TO ZEN LIFE
    Along my journey to let go of 30 years of clutter, I accidentally became a minimalist and it was life-changing.
    Before, I was an emotional hoarder with nothing but the clutter from lost loved ones - and $25,000 of debt - to my name. Now I have a beautiful home in Europe, a happy family, live debt-free, and - best of all - wake up to a life that I’m EXCITED to live every day.
    My mission is to help you conquer your clutter and simplify YOUR way to a happier and better life. HERE'S OUR STORY: atozenlife.com/about-a-to-zen...

    I totally agree on being ruthless with clothing. On The Minimalist’s podcast a caller said that when she has trouble getting rid of clothing, she asks herself, “If I had the opportunity to wear this clothing item, would I reach for something else instead?” I thought it was a good way to determine clothing preferences and sorting out what you like and what you actually wear.

    I have been on a journey to declutter for about 7 years now, which sounds like a long time to people who see my home now but they didn't see my home 7 years ago. Decluttering really is a marathon not a sprint for many people. The key is consistency. Dedicating a week here and there to do big purges is always really satisfying, but it's the daily choices and habits that determine if those big purges will truly be a success or not.
    These videos are such great little reminders at how important those little, consistent actions are.

      Amen! I have several chronic medical problems and fatigue is a huge issue. I have felt so overwhelmed for a long time but get such encouragement from your videos. What has really helped me, as suggested by a therapist and also by you, is to set a timer, concentrate on one area, and rotate through different areas (I think that's how you do your regular maintenance cleaning but it's how I'm dealing with my initial clearing of clutter). Some days I can go for 15 minute segments, some days 30 minutes, some days not at all, but I also give myself timed rest periods (if I don't set a timer for rest, I don't get back up again LOL).
      I used to concentrate on one area only, to the point of exhaustion, get frustrated and overwhelmed, and give up. Chipping away throughout my whole living space allows me to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Sorry for such a long comment. I didn't even watch your video yet!

    2. Create a drop zone.
    3. Donate what’s not needed.
    4. Set a timer
    5. Re homing basket to put things at their place later.
    6. Listen to CZcams / podcasts.
    7. Before and after pictures.

    My psychiatrist told me the reason of my accumulation of stuff (CLOSE TO HOARDING) was because of my losses I had in my life. I was holding on to stuff because I could control that. I had made the thought of getting rid of stuff (I didn’t need) as another loss.
    I am STILL in the process of decluttering. I have given away about 10 garbage bags (the BIG yard bags) of clothes and shoes. Now, I am working on the useless things I have… like from boyfriends I didn’t love, or little things (like tickets from Universal Studios, T-shirt’s with holes from when I used to live with my dad (daddy didn’t buy this tshirt though), etc etc. It is harder for me than it should be. I have to get in the right mental space and just do it

Every other channel I have seen has this distance to them, as if the content creator is a somewhat different 'breed' from other people, where they now have accomplished 'their everything' and now it's your turn.

    How true about stopping the inflow of clutter! I often used to go out & buy things or buy things online I didn't really need, which not only was a waste of money, but also was continuously adding to the clutter! I am now much more careful about casual shopping. Same with thrift stores, there's such a temptation to pick up a couple more items after dropping off some clutter...

    I get how good it feels to get rid of things. For me I think it’s wasteful to get rid of things (partially used tubes of things, like sunscreen) that are still useful. I keep them but try to use them up right away. This avoids adding more to trash over time and saves money. I push myself to be a sustainable declutterer.

      Love that. Manage your stuff and don't get rid of it. Of course it is easy to get a garbage bag and get going ...our superficial society likes it easy. We think we love ourselves by mistreating our things instead of taking care of them. We throw away our friends when we don't feel like they serve ist anymore....Partners are next. And then we wonder why our children go no contact when it is us who told them to do so by how we live. I have no clue how these hardcore minimalists purge and purge and still have things to purge...they must be constantly bringing things in otherwise there can not be sacks and sacks of garbage going on. It is like patients suffering from bulimia explaining to me how good they feel after they throw up....only to make plans on how to binge again soon...🙈 This reminds of them. We call it the Devil's Circle in German. All the comments of how happy it makes to throw away stuff.....what a weird world. Our grandparents would be disgusted, thinking how hard they worked for what we through away everyday. The arrogance and waiting for applause of how empty everything looks. Two hours later borrowing somthing from the neighbours (Like me 😂) because they are so happy they don't need to take care of it anymore....the irony. In it's extreme form it is actually a very selfish, irresponsible and childish way of living. We already produce so much garbage. Don't make more because it makes you feel good. There are better hobbies 😝 Glad you wrote this, and that there are still ppl like this. Hoarding and extreme constant decluttering are two extremes that seem to have a very unhealthy root...

    Thank you so much for posting. I needed this. I am a former caregiver of my elderly parents who recently passed. Both had debilitating illnesses at the same time which was overwhelming for me but I am very grateful I was able to be there 24 hours everyday to care for them at the same time through the grace of God at their home (which I inherited). To deal with the stress (and grief) as they were in their final days and hours during hospice at home, I started decluttering their things (since I couldn't go easily anywhere during this critical time) but stopped decluttering after they passed. I was too burned out physically, emotionally and mentally to do anything, only the bare minimum of daily responsibilities (sometimes not even that). It was 5 years of intensive caregiving. I'm now ready to start and have but needed strategies to declutter faster. You're video has great tips and will help me a great deal. Especially now that I have 8 rescued dogs that I care for and have plenty of space inside and outside to live comfortably with me. Between work (remote at home) and caring for them, my time can be limited. Thanks for the inspiration and reminder that at least 15 minutes a day... It can be done. I will gladly give up stuff but not my dogs who bring me so much joy and keep me active walking each of them. They deserve a loving home and happy/healthy life with me after being abused, neglected and dumped on the streets (emancipated) without mercy by their previous owners. One of them was able to wag her tail again and trust me after three years of rehabilitation. Thanks again!

    Great video! I met a woman who was probably 70 at the time, and she told me how to deal with negativity from people. She said to take a thought and wrap it up on a nice little wrapping paper with a bow and then CHUCK IT IN THE FUCK IT BUCKET! That always stuck with me. In my home I have a large blue fuck it bucket for things I want to get rid of. Some stuff won’t fit in it but most things will fit into my bucket easily.

    It's so true! I go to the thrift store to drop off stuff & go in to see what they have. I always end up with 1-2 items that I take back home. I never really thought about it!

    Also adopted the declutering bag where I put things as I no longer want or don't fit. This has been super helpful with my daughter's clothes because every time she puts something one that it no longer fits her right it goes straight in the bag. Also with my things. It's amazing how it piles up. Thanks for more great advice. Take care fams 🤗🤗🤗🤗💜💜💜💜

      I don’t know you, or anything about why you have loads of sentimental items, but I lost a sibling and a lot of other family all at once in my early twenties. I took an item of clothing of each of them to keep, it’s ok to fold them and put them away out of sight, you don’t have to be a robot and keep nothing to have a clean home, keep the things that mean something to you, look for a creative way to store them or display them. I have framed the front of a tshirt before to keep it when I didn’t plan to wear it.

  • @tristanrujano
    @tristanrujano Před 6 měsíci +4

    I don’t have anything to throw away, I just have ALOT of things I don’t want to get rid of. Comics, clothes, camera gear, even though I know I don’t use it all. Letting go is the hardest part.

    I’m helping my parents declutter and downsize from their house into a small apartment. They have never decluttered to the level they needed to this time and they had so many excess possessions! It has taken me four solid weeks to help them pack everything up and get rid of as much as I possibly could. The moving truck is coming tomorrow and I know they will need to purge at least another 30-40% of what they have kept in order to fit comfortably into this apartment. Hopefully they will be settled in by Christmas 🤞🏻

    I swear nothing beats the point you mentioned about sustainable recycling and items piling up with regards to mental health. This is something I wish I had known four years ago. Back then I was trying to get into minimalism and zero waste. Half way through i gave up because i was struggling mentally badly. Yes, nothing matters more than you and your mental health. Even if your needs don't fall into the box of any lifestyle you follow, it's important to meet the needs all the same.

    Thanks for these tips! I have donated 6 trash bags full of stuff to the thrift store with more going out soon! These tips will help with the last of the stuff! Being ruthless has been my mindset this time around! A few years ago I decluttered so much stuff and lived more minimalist but we moved from Kansas back to Georgia and I have gotten into the bad habit of retail therapy to help with depression(Thankfully I decided to go on some medicine which is helping)and so we have way to much stuff now!
