7 Surprising Lessons I Learned After Simplifying Life / Living a minimalist lifestyle is an ongoing journey, often leading us to unexpected discoveries. Learning how to simplify your life can be both rewarding and enlightening 🌿
Many people find that adopting minimalist rules and simple living helps them in ways they hadn't anticipated. From creating a clutter-free home to establishing daily clutter-free habits, the process teaches us valuable lessons. When we reduce overconsumption, we often find joy in the things we no longer buy or need. Self-care routines and habits may become central to our daily lives, enhancing our overall well-being.
The path to minimalism, whether through extreme minimalism or using a more balanced approach, can be filled with surprising insights. In this video, I share seven of those from my own journey 🤗

LOVE your content. I'm turning 39 this year and I'm so over clutter in my life physically, digitally, socially, etc. I've been editing down my possessions, my digital footprint, my schedule, work hours, social commitments, even friendships that havent resulted in mutual respect and authenticity.
Love that! 🌿
What I don't understand 😅
I think a minimalist can save the world.
🌍❤️
I am a minimalist and yet I know no one in my personal life who is too. I have my mindset and they have theirs. I don't care if they understand or approve of my way of life. It is my life and I live by my values. I don't judge them and really don't care if they judge me. I feel I am helping the planet by living intentionally and not contributing to waste. The way I live makes me happy and feels purposeful.
Great comment! 🌿
Love ur vids! Not comparing myself to the next person has brought so much peace to my life. Cheers!
Thank you :)
I’ve never liked labels. I’ve always leaned towards minimalist lifestyle. But I don’t like to pigeonhole things. One saying I’ve seen, that’s made a big impact on me and I never forgot it, is to live simply so that others can simply live. I don’t like to waste anything I can avoid. And I don’t like consume more than I need.
Well said! Thanks for sharing this 🌿❤️
Yesterday my hubby and I picked cherries and today we made squash of them. Nice to see that you help to garden with your grandpa. Your thoughts are very fresh and relaxed, and that's in line with one good point: to have less stress & overwhelm, and find freedom from the rat race, which comes with consumerism and status-cravings.
Thanks for the video and the resources! So great!
Thank you! 🍒🥰
I realize that it's still winter in Finland, but seeing you in a wool sweater in the middle of July gives me the heebie jeebies. Nevertheless, I will say that you look like a very normal ordinary person, but we all know that you possess the superpower of minimalism. Thank you for using your superpower for good, and sharing your insights to help others. And thanks to you and your grandfather for allow us to appreciate the beauty of a Finnish raspberry garden. Oh, and please give my best to your uncle, Mr. Pascal.
What a charming comment to witness! 🙂
Love this comment! ❤️ It's actually mid-summer here and around 20-ish degrees celcius (65-70 fahrenheit). So on cloudy days like this a sweater is useful 😄 I'll 100% forward your greetings to Pedro!
@@SunnyKindJourney I am an American, though used to be a travel agent before forced retirement, so not geographically challenged as your average American. It was a joking comment as I know that winter ends in Finland on July 1st, and doesn't begin again until August 1st. Kidding, always kidding. However, the average American might think of Finland as the Land of Ice and Snow because you grow the world's supply of Reindeer. Thank you for the temperature conversion; however, again, travel agent superpowers, one of which is being able to convert temperatures. Nevertheless, when the forecast high temperatures are reaching 100F degrees (38C degrees) this week and last week, watching anyone wearing a sweater in the Northern Hemisphere provides a heebie jeebies moment. Please forgive my judgment. Be well and happy.
Your content makes me look at things differently, which is a great thing. Thank you for the work that goes into your videos.
I appreciate that! 🤗
Thank you for sharing your thoughts in this video! I found it very inspiring! I continue on my minimalism journey... learning so much about myself along the way. Thanks for letting us join in on your personal journey!👍❤
Thank you! 🥰
Thank you for sharing your grandfathers garden. It looks beautiful and both the raspberries and cherries 🍒 look so yummy.
I agree with you that everyone’s ’minimalism’ looks different and we need to remember to be true to our personal values and do what is right for us. 💕🇨🇦
Thanks for watching, I appreciate it 🤗
Come, visit me in the Philippines and let's talk about this also. Been a minimalist for a decade. Or can I say that I am a minimalist artist or artistically minimalist? Almost everything you speak resonates with me.
Thank you once more for the fantastic video. I always appreciate your effortless communication and insightful vision!
I appreciate that! 🤗
I think no 7 is so important!
It truly is! 😊
I love your content! I’m so ready to simplify my life and completely see the benefits it could bring for my free time and mental health. I have young children and work outside my home so I’m not progressing to where I would want to be just though lack of time without sacrificing time with them. They don’t understand what I’m doing they just want to play haha but I’ll get there ❤
Wishing all the best to you and your family 🥰
the social situation applies to everything, quitting smoking/drugs/alcohol, or wanting to live a different life, like eating healthier or sleeping earlier or quitting clubbing or heck, even working or having kids whilst your pals aren't. change in relationships is normal and should not be feared just because of decluttering/minimalism, however as you are doing, should be noted.
Thanks for sharing this
Thanks!
Thank you so much for this! ❤️ I am not sure if you have watched my fairly recent video about me trying to make this a full-time thing to be able to create as many videos for the world I would love to, so this is something that helps me A LOT in this journey. This made my week!🌿 Thank you!!
@@SunnyKindJourney You are most welcome, Seve. I watch religiously every video (and short) you produce, so, yes, I watched that video. I wish for you always good things, and that your goals my be obtained. You do good things, and my small contribution makes me feel good about myself; thus, in the end, my action is part self interest and part wanting to help you along your path. Best wishes.
Good message ❤
🌱🌱 thank you
No travel and no unnecessary expenses sounds dull. That person doesn't follow that lifestyle either. Self-care, interests, hobbies and important for overall well-being. 💖
I think too that those are very important 🌱😇
Sour charies 🍒 , do you make marmalade from them? It is simply delicious 😋, I do it every year if is no frost when they bluming. I have a question, do you buy anything for your soul? I mean, if is any that you don't need but you buy it anyway, not nessesery expensive stuff, just a couple of €? e.g I bought myself fountain pen for 15€. I like your chanel and simple explanations.
I usually eat them just like this straight from the tree :) And of course I also buy things that are "wants" and not just "needs". I think we all do, just be intentional with those as well and you are good to go 🤗
I can't fathom living in a way that you can only buy the absolute necessities. If you're in a rough spot financially, that's one thing, but I couldn't live like that long term. It must be an absolutely smothering existence.
I completely understand, as also I feel OK with having possessions that bring positivity into my life in a profound way. I call my kind of minimalism "simple living" and I'm not much for rules which make life complicated. But for those who enjoy and need that, I think it is OK, because we are individuals after all.
One learns to look at life and oneself more calmly when not being dependent on having the same norms and arrangements as other people. I wouldn't do a smothering existence, either. I love to feel independent, creative, stress-free, healthy, generous, caring, mostly glad, and content with much less than what is needed to "keep up appearances". Sometimes I'm inspired by Blue Zones, or my older relatives and their DIY ways of organizing life, sometimes by vegans and people homesteading, sometimes by frugal or minimalist CZcamsrs. How do you yourself fathom a decent, good life long term?
Smothering! Not at all! It is liberating. And life feels much lighter, easier, and simpler. Not for everyone, I know, of course. I’m 69 and trying now to have only the essentials. I would like to be an extreme minimalist but not quite ready for that! 😊
Minimal living ❤
🌱❤️
Seve has a wonderful mustache 😊
Thank you 😄😄
I think that minimalism is the wrong name, I think that it should be intentionality. How I chose to live my life is very different to how you chose to live your life but we’re both living our lives intentionally.
That is very different from minimalism.
I'd say that's quite accurate. I talk a lot about intentional living on my channel. The same principals could be applied to many different lifestyles and values. For me the intention is about minimalism so I choose to use those words that also resonate with my audience better 🌿
👍🏻
🙂👌

Lovely yummy raspberries 🤤
So good! 🥰
🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Minimalism reminds me of believing in god, you cant push anyone to believe, and everyone has their point of view
