Yes about creativity! I donated about 90% of my craft supplies and now I use the few things I have WAY more because they’re not overwhelming

[@minimalease]

This is soo true!! 👏 thanks for sharing ❤️❤️

[@user-jf3mh2ye2x]

Oh Becky! Everyone of your videos has been an inspiration to me! I’ll be 70 in late June, so I’ll be commemorating this Birthday (quietly) by tossing out a stuffed animal toy I was given for my 1st Bday by my Nanna. I always felt she didn’t really like me… so why have I held on to this toy for 69 years?! I don’t know… and now I don’t care! Did I ever really? IT doesn’t matter! You helped me to understand this. Thank you Sweety. From Sheron in Toowoomba Queensland. ❤️🌻

[@minimalease]

This story even though sad (because your Nanna wasn’t loving towards you)really warmed my heart ❤️ you sound so strong and sure of your worth 👏 thank you for sharing this story with us it really made my evening ❤️❤️ sending my love and many more happy birthdays 🥳

[@ataylor3202]

Happy birthday honey 🎉 And congrats on finally tossing out that bad memory. I've done this too! Held on to objects that give me bad vibes. It's easier said than done, so I totally understand where you are coming from! Hugs!

[@bonnieleblanc1096]

It’s such a treat when my child has gone down for a nap and I see a new video from you! I would love a video highlighting your favorite things (such as the remaining decor objects you keep on your floating shelves) and the story behind why they are special. I keep very few beloved objects too, and although we live in a typical sized home right now, I like to imagine what I would take if we someday get to live in a tiny house, or more nomadically in a travel trailer. I think you’ve mentioned wanting to move overseas eventually -a “this is what I for sure would take” video would be awesome. Love the videos you put out!

[@minimalease]

Aww thank you!! ❤️ Such a great idea! I will work it into my videos for next month 😍

[@JessicaRoser]

Your videos are so inspiring. I wash my dishes to them, and think to myself that’s me. I think I have adhd too and was never diagnosed. I was feeling so overwhelmed in my house because I am a product of consumerism. I thought I needed something in every corner and every wall. Now I’m only keeping things that bring me joy or as I like to say…I use. Things I still need to tackle (my wardrobe and my cooking utensils)🙃♥️

[@minimalease]

Thanks so much ❤️❤️ sounds like your doing great! Thanks so much for sharing your journey with us!

[@Nancy-md7qr]

When I was younger, I was so messy. It definitely affected mine and my husband's relationship. Our relationship improved a lot once I got rid of so many things.

[@minimalease]

Yesss same! Thank you so much for sharing ❤️

hahah thanks!!

[@smontone]

I always thought I would have more than one child also. My son was born a few months before covid hit and suddenly I had zero support and was all alone with postpartum depression. Two years later he was diagnosed as autistic. I love him to bits and I spend most of my time working with him to develop. I can’t imagine having a second child now and that’s been really hard. You’re absolutely right, things don’t turn out the way we thought they would. It’s huge to learn to be okay with where you are.

[@minimalease]

Thank you so much for sharing your momma journey with us ❤️ It was so hard to change the picture in my head of how my life would be.. but when I realized I was causing myself unnecessary pain and missing out on time with my daughter because I was longing for something I didn't have it really changed my perspective ❤️❤️Thanks so much for sharing friend!

[@bumblebee_ms]

Becky, you inspire me with every video. I also love your honesty and attitude on life. I too have ADHD.

[@minimalease]

Aww thanks friend!! 🤗❤️❤️

[@anashappydays]

I learned how to simplify my life when I got kids ❤ But I grow up as a minimalist and always happier when I don’t have too much stuff around 🌸

[@minimalease]

Love that! Thanks for sharing!!

[@Blubes23]

You should never be afraid that people come to your house and sees the «mess», if you are, you have too much because it creates anxiety and stress. After my full on declutter i feel alot better, and one of mu new house rules are: cleaning after guests have left (same day or a day or two later). Because you arent supposed to be cleaning for others visiting or seeing your house, your space is for yourself and a place you should thrive self. So me cleaning after guests feels just like a energy cleansing again after the visit and it feels back to me.

[@minimalease]

Thanks for sharing your ideas and journey with us! ❤️

[@TheClutterLady]

I had some of my sentimental stuff get lost/stolen in a move, and while I do miss some of it, it taught me that I really can live without so much! Some I'm sure I don't even miss. But what I do remember can live on in my memories instead of my home. Thinking of that makes it easier to let go of stuff I'm unsure of in the moment.

[@minimalease]

What a great realization through something awful ❤️

[@courtneybashamfranklin9193]

Thank you for these tips. My dad passed away a year ago & I have kept a lot of his stuff, but there is really no point because it takes up space & collects dust. Thank you for helping me to have the courage to get rid of some of these things & not feel so guilty. ❤

[@minimalease]

Jordan (my husband) and I drove to my grandparents old neighborhood this weekend and all these beautiful stories of my grandfather came flooding back. It was such a comfort and helped me remember that though I only have a few small things of his, its times like those where I see something or hear a song and it will remind me of all the fond memories I have with him ❤️ I'm so sorry for the loss of your Dad and I wish you all the best sorting through what to keep and what to let go ❤️❤️

[@courtneybashamfranklin9193]

​@@minimaleasethank you!

[@chazychaz7581]

I have come a long way from being a shopaholic. I still struggle from time to time, when feeling more depressed than usual. I have yet to declutter paper. I have bags and piles yet to sort. That's a tough one 🙈 maybe because I find it overwhelming and a bit boring 😬 tips are very welcome 🙏 I am very proud of my mom, because she got inspired to declutter, because she saw my new home, and how cosy it can look, without too much stuff in every corner 🥰 The issue now is, that when she declutters sentimental items from my grandmother, she wants me to have them. I have definitely kept some important things from her, but it's hard to say no. And I am starting to find myself looking for places to put the new things 😓 Thank you for a great channel 👍😁❤️ Greetings from Denmark

[@minimalease]

Aww Hello ❤️ Denmark is such a beautiful country and top of the places I'm trying to convince my husband to move haha but a book that really helped me when I was feeling depressed and overwhelmed was "essentialism" by Greg McKeown it helped me to declutter a lot more then just stuff ❤️

[@chazychaz7581]

@@minimalease thank you ☺️🙏🥰 will look into it

[@MichelleNovalee]

♥️ Great video. Thanks for sharing your journey about your daughter and wanting a second kid. It was very heartfelt ♥️♥️♥️

[@minimalease]

Aww thank you ❤️ It feels comforting to be able to share my story now

[@jennyjenkins877]

♥ Clutter was such a roadblock to properly cleaning. It's a lot of work to move a bunch of items off (the bathroom counter, kitchen counters, dining table, desk, etc.) to clean. It's such a hack to have less stuff and move what you do use/need into drawers, cabinets, and closets, where they are out of the way and protected from dust.

[@minimalease]

So true! ❤️❤️ thanks for sharing!!

[@user-hk3yc9sy3p]

Hi Becky! I love your videos and especially when you talk about the psychological side of decluttering. Minialism is not just an estetic stile. I love to develop and you help me with your words. Suddenly I see something I haven't seen before or maybe I have known, deep down, but your words give me strength to confront it. Thank you so much for being personal and sharing your story and journey. I've been a minimalist for many years when it comes to furniture, decor, kitchen gadgets, clothes, but when it comes to books and hobby equipments I have lived in an illusion. I'm a time optimist. Now I have decided to play piano every day and work in my garden or read a good book more or less every day and lower my ambitions in other areas. ❤ Ulla-Marie from Sweden

[@minimalease]

That is so beautiful ❤️❤️ thank you for sharing your journey with us! We all come to minimalism for different reasons and I love learning about others peoples journeys ❤️❤️ thanks again and have a wonderful weekend!

[@kathrynp7595]

I love gardening too 💕

[@minimalease]

It makes me so calm to get my hands in the dirt 🤗

[@rosyapplekitchen635]

I hate living in flats with no balcony especially. You end up with laundry out all the damn time. Worst clutter is my laundry! I have a heated dryer but it still takes a while in a cold climate.

[@minimalease]

I get that! Thanks so much for sharing ❤️❤️

[@Shiryone]

I was keeping the dog collar & tags that belonged to one of our dogs that we had to put down. Every time I ran across it, it made me so depressed. It finally dawned on me to just let it go.

[@minimalease]

Aww I’m so sorry ❤️❤️ I love your realization though and appreciate you sharing this story with us ❤️❤️

[@paisleyhunter]

Oh my gosh, you get me! I have to clean my house super well before i film a video! Not for show, but i can not film in any clutter it distracts me. I love being outside in my flower garden. It really slows down my life. Thank you for being so open and thank you for tbe video.

[@minimalease]

hahah I'm glad I'm not alone on that on! Thanks so much for sharing ❤️❤️

[@raveeshafernando1987]

I like to live simple life as you said and I have already started it 😊

[@minimalease]

That’s amazing and so inspiring to many people here ❤️❤️ thanks for sharing!

[@hardearnedliving5907]

I have decluttering a lot, and I have way less than the average person. However, there are still areas of my home where I feel I am quite a maximalist and those areas are overwhelming and do give me all of the signs that you’ve listed in this video. definitely areas I need to work more.

[@minimalease]

Thanks for sharing your journey ❤️❤️❤️

[@gwenj5419]

Good points. Very thoughtful video.

[@minimalease]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for sharing!

[@lorireeve2322]

❤ another great video, Becky. Thanks for sharing your wisdom. 😊

[@minimalease]

Aww I’m so glad to share what I’ve experienced ❤️❤️ thanks so much!

[@belindagritter1572]

I am a very social person but am too embarrassed to invite people over. Not like a hoarder, but some clutter and I am handicapped and can not clean like I used to so I am never able to get out of the rut. My husband can’t do it all and he hates clutter yet he is forced to live in it. Your video made me think of him for maybe the first time. I subscribed for more insight.

[@minimalease]

Thanks so much for joining ❤️❤️ good luck on your journey to a simpler life filled with more of what you want and less of what you don’t ❤️❤️ so glad you’re here!

[@MyCozyLife-Lisa]

❤So many things from this video resonated with me. I officially have all of the signs that my house is too cluttered lol. I have a couple of weeks left of work and then I’m off for the summer. My one goal is to get my house back in order. Thanks again for the motivation😊

[@ataylor3202]

Afraid to let go of items, this is my main hurdle. I've been on my decluttering journey for years now but still find it hard as for my beliefs that I might need it in the future. I have only regretted selling one item but I have never bought another one. Thank YOU for your videos, they help me get over those hurdles ❤❤❤

[@minimalease]

It’s a big and probably the most difficult hurdle ❤️❤️ thanks for sharing where you are on your journey I’m sure most of us can all relate!

[@eileenmanganella7958]

I try now to only keep things I truly love. Not counting essentials, like kitchen items, etc. Thanks for another great video!!

[@minimalease]

[@minimalease]

Aww thank you 🤗

[@lizharley5723]

On your wall I noticed the shelves. To be minimal, I would suggest you remove the lower shelf which looks out of place. My thoughts of course.

[@minimalease]

I really enjoy having it and use it many times through the year but also love suggestions so thanks for sharing ❤️❤️

[@debbiematthews981]

I love the shelves. They themselves to me are a form of functional decor and I think the bottom shelf frames the area well. Funny how we all see things differently.

[@rosyapplekitchen635]

As a minimalist who is fed up with cleaning I avoid shelves altogether as I have kids but they do look nice!

[@jamiecorisis6122]

I can completely relate to the secondary infertility. I have one child and he’s going to be 18 soon. At the beginning of the journey of infertility, it was so hard. I had to grasp the idea of getting rid of everything of my sons. I remember getting rid of his stroller/car seat combo. It was a big purchase and expensive and held so many memories. But we sold it and the couple just threw it in the back of their truck like it was nothing. It was a trauma moment. But, I never needed it again. I didn’t need to hold onto it. I have the memories and pictures of my son in the stroller at the park and talking to the ducks as a toddler. I didn’t need the actual item taking up room.

[@minimalease]

Thank you so much for sharing this story with me ❤️ it is so hard in so many many different ways but I’ve realized I was missing so much with my daughter being sad it was a relief and helped me find peace for me to give her things to several of my friends who have babies. It doesn’t mean I’m always ok but I very much try to live in the present so I don’t miss the beautiful pieces ❤️❤️ thank you so much for sharing your journey with me it really means a lot ❤️❤️

I struggle when it comes to my children I see something cute or my kids want something I immediately give in that area is a struggle

[@minimalease]

I have found that with my daughter we make lists of things she likes. when it is not a special holiday or event we put it on her "list" she is 6 and for her she is happy with that arrangement 🤗

[@bex438]

Hey Becky, as I was listening to you, I noticed a pile of papers/books nex5 to me that have somehow got out of hand, as I started to look at them they fell all over the floor 😵 It's definitely time to deal with these - For some reason I can't seem to stop these piles starting or keep any papers/leaflets in order if they do. Any ideas would be much appreciated ❤️

[@minimalease]

You could try starting with a basket or box there to put that stuff in and when it’s full you have to declutter or trash some of those papers and books. I used to always have piles of mail or paper from my daughters school but I started recycling the mail before I came in the house and my daughters papers I go through immediately and recycle anything she doesn’t want. Not a perfect system but it helps ❤️❤️ good luck friend!

[@bex438]

Thanks Becky, I'll give it a go👍 😊
