I love the not yelling/staying calm. I need to work on this one. Thank you for this.

[@vickinelson2659]

I come from a family of pretty mellow people. At work, I once was criticized for being too 'water off a duck' and not getting angry about anything. It was supposed to be a negative, but I took it as the best compliment ever. I have no desire to yell - it stresses me out when others do. It takes time to change. But it can be done. My husband used to yell and get angry. He worked at it and is a calmer person now. It takes time and conscious effort, but you can do it.

[@jilloverton3630]

I love how intentional you and your wife are about spending quality time with your children!

[@JoelPierce-q4x]

I suffered from panic attacks for years now and after I embraced slow living my life has been so much better. I do things on my own terms and I don't let anyone dictate how fast I go . My anxiety has gone way down and I am loving life once again. Thanks for this video it is the best way to live 🙌

[@jonnyoneill]

i purposely park further away at stores for the walk, drive in the slow lane, have my drive home with no music/podcast or anything- to revisit the day. there’s a lot of power in the small things. thank you Gabe!

[@ackermack92]

Slow living for me has been implementing an early morning walk each day before work. On weekends I’ll walk to the coffee shop and indulge a bit. Walking is one of the simplest forms of exercise and really helps slow things down. Double benefit!

[@owlfollower3759]

I agree with you on the walking. Any day I have off I enjoy a nice long walk looking at the scenery. I don't find a lot of people/friends who enjoy walkkg.

1. Five minutes of nothing 2. Free zones 3. Following the speed limit 4. Schedule control 5. Focus on one task 6. Plan tomorrow tonight 7. Wake up like clockwork 8. Write it down 9. Fix the little things 10. Stay calm no matter what 11. Growth 12. Disconnect from the noise 13. Live within your means

I've just come to accept somethings that i can't control. Knowing Gods in control and he brings things into our lives sometimes to showvus how much he loves us.

[@9latinumStudioz]

Prepping the next day is major 👌 never put off for tomorrow what you can do today 💫

[@pameehanson3866]

I learned to follow the speed limit when I moved to the country 😁I now live where we have wildlife show up on the highway often enough to remember to slow down less accidents and I now apply that to daily life just slow down ❤ We are a country of speed is success but not really when you slow down and start living a slower pace! I no longer miss the sunsets 🌅

[@kadieschaefer2874]

When you guys are ready to start your children in school, I highly recommend homeschooling! It compliments our minimalist life so well. My husband also works from home and I get the joy of homeschooling our children, while working on my art on the side! I think you guys would LOVE it!

[@noopurkulhari2787]

What does home schooling entail? Do you need tutors for difficult subjects like math etc?

[@kadieschaefer2874]

@@noopurkulhari2787 It depends on what state you live in as far as rules/regulations/requirements. However, most families use a variety of curriculum per grade and subject to assist in the teaching. There are also tons of wonderful resources if a parent needs additional support in subjects like advanced math, etc. Homeschooling isn't for everyone, but it can be a wonderful way to educate!

I’ve been following you for a while and your content keeps getting better and better, Gabe! I resonated with many of the ideas you mentioned in this video, it was nice to hear them put into words. Slow mornings, filtering the content I consume, focusing on the things that can be in my control - I couldn’t agree more. Greetings from Hungary!

[@EricMoore790]

You're doing a good job Gabe!

These are some great tips on how to be more intentional with your life and your time. And what I love most is that they’re easy to adapt to different circumstances.

[@DumDumDugan1911]

I can’t handle watching the news any longer. I have had many many anxiety attacks, so I decided to just generally stay away from the news, especially national news.

[@andrermn]

yup, same. ive been much less stressed lately and feel overall better because my brain is filled with information crucial to me, which is mostly positive information that i let in.

[@danijel-c]

Why do you watch it then? I have been disconnected from the news for years and don't feel I am missing something.

[@LGaylord-y8d]

When your mind drifts to world, refocus to God. Instant calm.

[@rainguynw]

Yup. People can’t stand to watch or listen to the news. Rely on their friends to tell them what’s going on. Same thing happened in Germany in 1933. It didn’t work out well.

[@DumDumDugan1911]

@@rainguynw Researching policies for who to vote for will help to keep fascists from overtaking your government more than watching biased fear mongering news reporters.

[@mindbodymondaywithmrs.b.3561]

Thank you for your beautiful message. More men need to hear this. Also, thank you for keeping the music quiet in the background. So many KZbinrs put loud annoying music and it’s a huge turn off. God bless you and your family.

[@catherineprairie4441]

Excellent guidance and advice! I love slow living and working towards that more every day. Now if only my husband could understand the "stay calm no matter what"...

[@AccompanyMe-r9q]

I'd say the same about my husband. Shot himself in the foot with his handling of things

[@higs3242]

[@jeremyasteward]

I watch all the millions of productivity channels out there… but the idea of choosing the longest line at the checkout just kind of blew my mind. Thank you for sharing this. Subscribed!

[@taracasper]

I always look forward to your videos! Thanks for sharing the "past" version of you and the current version. It's inspiring to be reminded that we CAN grow and change. We are never stuck in behavior patterns that don't serve us anymore! I'm going to adopt the "do 5 minutes of nothing." I've never been good at meditating - but I believe I can do five minutes of nothing and I believe in the benefit it will cause. Slowing down needs to be intentional, bit by bit in your life. I tried following the speed limit for one day... I nearly lost my mind on the highway; however, I'm much more calm following the speed limit off the highway. The flow of traffic is slow and I used to get annoyed. Now I embrace! Please continue to make these videos! You're literally changing lives!!

[@GabeBult]

100%! It’s a slow shift but if you zoom out small changes to change everything

[@ellenjo283]

Thank you, Gabe. Wise words.

[@aubreytoms6823]

I implement most of these tips and agree that yes, they really help. Some family members could do with watching less news, but I’m glad there are options to not have to participate as much. I think being informed is fine, but after a few minutes- no thank you, I’m okay on what else is going on the rest of the day. Want to go outside and enjoy the fresh fall air on a walk, or things like that. At least just personally, but no offense to anyone who enjoys watching a ton of TV/news. I tolerate it because I have to, but in my own home, no, it will be much more quiet.

[@vickinelson2659]

I agree with letting go of politics. We have no control over what happens, so why stress over it? However, what do you do when the three closest people to you are wrapped up in politics? I can't walk away, trying to change the subject doesn't work, nor does telling them it's of no interest to me.

[@edimenn]

Constant control and not letting out emotions, may not be the best advice.

[@matthewfrost2513]

I feel the same way about politics, total waste of energy and time on something you have no power over. I just say let the world go where it's going, then do your own thing and build your life around that, help some people on the way, but no use moaning about things you can't change.

Do minimalists subscribe to streaming services such as Netflix or Disney Plus? Asking for a friend.

[@volunteerworker]

Depends on if it helps your lifestyle or not. Financial minimalism for us, is zero subscriptions. Not for music, not for TV/movies, not for food. Nothing. I can catch a lot of things for free and full episodes of stuff or movies I want to watch on KZbin. May have short ads every few videos, but I can do the same for music listen to it uninterrupted mostly. And, there are free apps on the smart TV that you can watch different things. I have a DVD binder and portable DVD player to watch specific movies or series whenever I feel, for free (considering the subscription you have to pay for monthly, DVDs are buy once for life). For us, we've saved so much money over the years and even though we still struggle we aren't in debt over it. That's the freedom that works in our lifestyle. It won't be the same for others.

[@nancyc7629]

What if kid runs in street, would you yell or say Sweety, come back here?
