30-DAY MINIMALISM CHALLENGE

#minimalism #minimalist #decluttering #minsgame
Being on a minimalist journey has improved my life in so many ways. I decided to do the 30-day minimalism challenge/game again to get rid of excess items in my home and vlog my experience in the hope it helps anyone out there struggling with leading a more minimalist lifestyle.

It is such a wonderful feeling to get rid of all that stuff. I just finished my 30 day. For some reason I love watching others.

[@MarysOutdoorAdventures]

I know its quite compulsive viewing isn't it🤣

[@ahoardersheart]

I’m doing the 30 day minimalist game challenge this month! I feel I have an unfair advantage being a hoarder with so much stuff! Lol but I know it will still get hard day 24 and higher!!

[@MarysOutdoorAdventures]

Do it next month too 😁😁

[@johneason6540]

Everyone could benefit from this challenge. I have done it twice before. I cant even remember all the things, so goes to show I did use them or miss them.

[@MarysOutdoorAdventures]

It's amazing what you don't miss isn't it - I'll no doubt do it again in the new year!

[@NotSoOrganisedChaos]

That's a fantastic job Mary, well done! I do find it true, that the more you are decluttering the easier it becomes. You make decisions faster and are less keen on keeping things just for the sake of keeping them. Thanks for sharing.

[@MarysOutdoorAdventures]

Thanks so much! I agree, when I first started this journey there were things I thought I would never get rid of.

[@LinneaMae68]

What a wonderful way to declutter! I'm going to show this to my young daughter who has a bit of a hoarding problem in her room. I think she would think this is fun! Definitely will be taking on this challenge in our house as well.

[@MarysOutdoorAdventures]

Thanks so much - it certainly helps kickstart the decluttering as its not as overwhelming for some than going through everything at once. Let me know how you get on!

[@derekfox5510]

What a great idea Mary and a good challenge for anyone to take on 👍

[@MarysOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you so much Derek!

[@maryngshwuling9916]

Thanks for sharing 🌻

[@jeffamos9854]

I so need to take your minimalism advice. My house is full of stuff I have not used in 20 years

[@MarysOutdoorAdventures]

Maybe a new challenge for 1st January 2019?

[@Melanie.8888]

I'm doing this and the 5 dollar challenge savings I've been decluttering for 3yr run now time to seriously get rid of stuff and I'm starting on my mom items sentimental items the toughest for me happy new year...

[@Debbiesdilemmas]

I played the mins game in January and am playing again this month, February. I honestly could play this game the whole year and still have too much stuff.😫

[@MarysOutdoorAdventures]

Thats brilliant Debbie's Dilemmas! I nearly did it again too🤣 On the 1st February I was walking around the house just looking at things I could still get rid of - it is so addictive!

[@loreneknight9755]

I hear ya, Debbie. I'm trying 2 do better. NEVER give up, kiddo. Keep on fighting the good fight!!

[@Debbiesdilemmas]

Lorene Knight I’ve started rewatching these videos to inspire me. I’m doing October and I think I’ll try November as well. December gets busy but if I have the time I may try a bit.😊

[@allencrider]

Nice pasta machine! Gattica! I want your copy of Gattica! LOL

[@MarysOutdoorAdventures]

🤣🤣

[@eileenlynch1510]

Great job great examples

[@jonh1958]

Well done Mary, some of those items such as photo albums, books and magazines I would find hard to part with. Has to be done though.

[@MarysOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you Jon H - yes it gets tough with sentimental items and books. Although I find it gets easier the more I declutter. I couldn't have done it on my first few decluttering attempts though!

[@txchonchie6201]

everything to the thrift store...correct? Great concept...perfect timing.

[@MarysOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you! Nearly everything went to my local RSPCA charity shop (thrift store) which promotes animal welfare. There were some items that got recycled or donated too.

[@LenserX]

OK, Mary. You talked me into it. Not sure that I have that much stuff to get rid of here in Pasadena as most of my stuff is in storage in Oregon right now. But this will be good practice for when I get back there and try to empty out that 10x10 locker after the PCT next year.

[@MarysOutdoorAdventures]

Glad it helped James! Are you planning on hiking the whole of the PCT next year?

[@LenserX]

Yes I am Mary. NOBO March 27 start

[@fespinoza60]

Yay I was missing your videos

[@MarysOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you Frank!

[@SHAD3Y1331]

I started this, but I couldn't get past day 26. I got rid of a ton of things, but there was only so many things that I could get rid of since I live with my parents. I only had a room and bathroom to go through. I'll try to finish, but in a shower pace as I figure out what I'm continuing to hold onto.

[@wewemcrhyne]

SHAD3Y1331 For you to get to day 26 is amazing when you only have 2 rooms to pull from!! I’m very proud of you!

[@susantruelove2125]

Will you have a car boot sale Mary...and can I be the first to arrive? Well done, what an achievement I'm very impressed...although I did recognise that pasta making machine!!! I now know what my New Years resolution is going to be. x

[@MarysOutdoorAdventures]

Thanks so much - its nearly all been donated to the RSPCA charity. Don't worry, the pasta making machine you gave me has been donated to a family member so it will have a better home and will be loved like new again 🤣

[@IzzyClennell]

I want to try this, but I am 17 and so most of these items (DVDs, christmas decorations, kitchenware) I don't own as "mine", I don't have 'that much' stuff. Shall I try just doing the first 3 weeks??

[@MarysOutdoorAdventures]

Go for it! You might be surprised how much you find. Its the little things too like make-up, paperclips, notebooks and pens etc - they all count!

[@IzzyClennell]

@@MarysOutdoorAdventures I have begun! I saw Nancy Chamberlain's video on the Minimalism challenge. She's 14 so I thought "there's no excuse for me"!

[@minimalistshk6842]

Good job, cheers from Hong Kong

[@MarysOutdoorAdventures]

Thanks so much!

[@lennyhikes2781]

Is it more difficult to be a minimalist if you live in a small home with a significant other, especially if that person, while not hoarding, has stuff that has come in handy but used rarely; think tools.

[@MarysOutdoorAdventures]

It certainly could make it more of a challenge. I think the key is to focus on your own items and mentally separate everything else which is not yours. Then you can enjoy the experience that having less gives you - you never know, your significant other might be inspired!

[@claytonbatten7317]

People can accumulate alot in a lifetime. Too much unneeded junk. Great job. What’s next? By the way. Only got two hands so why more than two cups my grandfather used to say

[@MarysOutdoorAdventures]

Thanks Clayton, I love the quote from your grandfather! I still feel like I could do the whole challenge again - maybe I'll do it in January too 🤣

[@militaryibrahim3368]

Hi 😍😍

[@robertbarnes4]

Very interesting. Do you sell them or give the away?? I see you must like Winnie the poo?? I saw your cups😀😀

[@MarysOutdoorAdventures]

Yes I am a child at heart 🤣 Nearly everything got donated to my local RSPCA charity shop (thrift store) and there were some items that got recycled.
