Very helpful, recently started decluttering, thanks again for the tips. I ❤ your videos.

[@IAmPeterCook]

I agree, there is no such thing as the _"ultimate state of minimalism"._ It's a constant journey, and it's good to be gentle with yourself, as your hobbies and preferences change with time. Ultimately, it's about having a certain mindset. Applying the minimalist philosophy to your everyday life. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@simplybychristine]

Yes! Thanks Peter (:

[@fahmidamiah]

I find minimalism starts with how we think and sometimes how we grew up. A lot of my childhood and experiencing financial constraints has greatly influenced how I buy today, or more accurately, how little I buy today :) Thanks for sharing this video!

[@susanweller2121]

"Do what is within your means." I love this.

[@viqqivadillavauziaazizah3445]

I love minimalist too. By see your room, your clothes, I knew that minimalist was your lifestyle and it is great! Thank you for making this video and remind me how beautiful minimalism 🤍

[@marcinkuzborski7118]

Thank you Christine for that video. What helps me the most during decluttering is to make a picture of a thing that I feel attached to and then to throw it away. So I can "have" the thing not having it really. Then I keep all the pictures in "SOUVENIR" folder on my PC and revisit when I feel like to. All the best, God bless.

[@shaloon64]

When I move into my own place, I can't wait to keep it clutter free. I only want to keep what is absolutely necessary.

[@magaliechetrit]

@ 5:50 you give some advice that was such a good reminder for me. And I always forget about the option of renting something! Especially powertools.

[@Danielle-Mah]

Love the start with *why*! It’s my fundamental question for making decisions and always grounds my choices in good intentions 👍🏼 Glad you are back and looking forward to the series!

[@mr.bnatural3700]

It gives me great comfort to be a maximumalist. You see, no matter how much I have there is never too much. I never have to worry or be concerned one bit about decluttering or getting rid of anything. It gives me great peace never having to concern myself whether I have too much or ever throwing anything away. Piles of goods puts me in a Zen state of contentment to "doing nothing and it all gets done."--Lao Tzu

[@aprillr2158]

Your Sunday videos are always a pick me up and a joy to watch. I’ll be keeping an eye out for those question posts.

Can u link your linen tops u wear please

[@damlasarpbalkan]

Hi from Turkey Christine. Thank you for your all videos. They help me to change my lifestyle. I don’t want to shopping anymore. I have donated most of our stuff. But it is very hard to handle with the others says and the idea that “what if i need in the future”.

[@tracimorrow2282]

I always look forward to your videos! Definitely interested in a series. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@simplybychristine]

Always! haha (:

[@reggisweat]

Always an inspiration in minimalism, visuals and life in general. Thank you Christine! 💛

[@melaniewoodcock7791]

Yes please to a minimalism series !

[@darrylbrian]

count me in 😊

[@zoraidarodriguez1761]

Thank you for your inspiration. Yes, definitely, would love a series like that. It's frustrating in trying to figure out what to get rid of and how minimal should one be? This is especially difficult when you live with other people who are not in a minimal state of mind nor wish to be.

[@Mystudylife-b2w]

Great video christine💕💕

[@raziakhatoon]

An amazing video, specially for the beginners. A mindful minimalism practice trains the mind to curb consumerism. Superb. Keep sharing Christine. Loving to be a part of the community👍

[@simplybychristine]

Thank you Razia! (:

[@millygit]

Minimalist budgeting would be great Christine

[@BL-rb7jm]

after i moved out of home, my goal was to travel, work, and staying in one place for 6 months and move on. that was a goal I never fulfilled. look back after 40 years wish i had that as my end goal. my end goal now is to do what I originally had in my heart. we can stop doing what makes us happy. please don't wait until your too old. I now believe only having 2 of each item except for clothes which i feel we should have 8 pieces of tops 4 of pants, two dresses, two pants. two shoes and two runners. you arrive with nothing leave with nothing.

[@vivianelanthier722]

For many years, I have stopped buying gifts to my friends. Instead, I have our local florist deliver a bouquet of flowers to them. My friends love flowers, and at least they're don't end up with a gift they don't want that clutters their home.

[@yah5700]

I started minimalism last September 2020, so it's been a year already!

[@LPBineli]

That's cool. How do you feel now?

[@beachgirl9823]

I like your clothes - where did you buy your pants and top?

[@MargaretSkelly-w1q]

Hi Christine, I hope you're keeping well, hope all's going well for you. I hope to see more from you in the future. I have started the minimalist path and have learned a lot from you😁say hello to Cooper the best well behaved dog.🐕 I hope you and Peter are taking plenty of time off take care. M👵from Dublin 🇨🇮

[@T.T.M.60]

I love your desk!,where did you buy it?

[@darrylbrian]

thank you again for the consistent boost in motivation 😊

[@dani.vanderkamp]

I love your videos Christine! You really inspire me to become more of a minimalist again. I will also order your cookies some time soon!😍

[@ngkaren5180]

I wonder how does minimalism in food intake looks like? While I can actively exercise minimalism in shopping, digital consumption, a lot of time I cave in to food. Any tips?

[@ingerfalch-jacobsen1717]

We all do. Food is yummy. Do you eat too much, or the "wrong" foods? Or at "wrong" times? Do you know why?

[@ting2hung]

Fasting

[@PamDubier]

Buy fresh produce- every few days. Packaged/processed stuff tends to build up.

[@vincestaude0812]

Thank you very much for this video. I am looking forward to your new series about minimalism. Your videos inspire me to stay on the path. As for the "end goal", I agree, that there is never a real end goal as we all continue to change. What is enough for today may not be enough in the future as our life changes. But as long as we are mindful along the way, we stay minimalistic in a way we need/want it.

[@simplybychristine]

Spot on (: Thank you!

[@cerenceylan9562]

Bana ilham veriyorsun. Videon sayesinde yolum aydınlandı. Türkiye'den sevgiler..

[@suziesuzie74]

Hi Christine, Buying an item should start from existing need. Like, you buy things only for existing need. If you first see the item and need time to think about if you need it, you actually don't. You just decide to want it.

[@owdiNari]

I recently become your viewer and subscriber. I'm in my early twenties and I learned a lot from your videos. Thank you so much.

[@simplybychristine]

Thank you! And welcome to the community (:

[@flufftronable]

Very interesting points. Thank you.

[@benjaminreyes3624]

I like her clothing. They look so comfortable to wear

[@agathawinter743]

Hi Christine, I really apreciate this information and I really really love your clothing. Thank you so much and blessings!!

[@smokypoo]

love your advice ^^ thank you

[@llrainll]

The best way to live! My mom is a hoarder and currently has three bedrooms and one of the rooms downstairs , the attic and the shed filled with junk from top to bottom. You can’t even walk in- and it’s stressing the entire family out. I think it’s mainly due to her abusive relationship. ( AKA my dad the abuser ). I want to do so much with the house, as in modernise it and making it minimal. It’s depressing. 😭🤚

[@JazzyGinger1]

This is a great video!

Another inspiring video. Asking yourself the "why" question is always so Important! Also..."Be gentle withe the process"!! May I ask where your water jug is from. The one by your sink. I love the size and color.

[@simplybychristine]

Thank you! I made the water jug in pottery class (:

[@ap0tat0stick39]

[@simplybychristine]

Thank you Amanda!

[@fghhjkihj1559]

Thanks for the tips 😀 I wanted to be a minimalism person a years ago but I wasn't know how???❤️👌👌👌

[@andysdestination8671]

This is a great video. Cuz I working on my to becoming a minimalist at my cottage. I made a video about that I built my new desk and finally got rid of my big old ugly desk. It’s in my KZbin Channel showing my new desk with a lot less clutter and more roomy area. I really happy I’d did that. But I’m still working on in my cottage to become a minimal life. My mother moved to Virginia about 3 months ago. It gave me more free time to start declutter my cottage. I still like your patio settings still so Cool. See you in the next one. God Bless. From Andy 😎😎❤️❤️🔥🔥

My struggle is trying to downsize when I have two special needs kids who have specialized equipment, a service dog, a cat, and a rabbit. To say I need help is an understatement 😖😭

Steps to minimalist life style

[@prajaktajoshi3929]

Why is minimalism so colorless? Is there a reason they only use gray, white, black, and brown colors? You can be colorful with less things

[@itshaezel]

I've always wanted to try minimalism. But living with 5 people who are maximalist makes it so hard to even start. I can only control what's in my room. 😂

[@John83118]

This is an insightful work; akin to a book that was enlightening in its content. "The Joy of Less: A Minimalist Living Guide" by Matthew Cove

[@HM-vj5ll]

When the Dr Lloyd Jones is in the house, enough said. Carry on saints.

[@lorraineyanez4301]

I m struggling 😫 nit because of me but because other in the family don't care to be minimalist so I m defeated.

[@PritishBharti]

Your videos (shots) in 4K would hit different. Might be a good investment for your kind of work :)

[@simplybychristine]

I have shot videos on newer cameras in the past but most of my viewers didn't see a noticeable difference. It didn't seem worth the investment for now, so trying to stick to my minimalist principles by using what I can!

[@rameshshastri9163]

[@lethicialisboa]

It’s really hard to be minimalist in tropical countries, we have all seasons every day 🤡

[@TevaIllathaAani]

Why all minimal is white walls n cabinets curtain . Why

[@kendallx1213]

There is minimalism and then there are uncomfortable chairs and ugly tables... Minimalist doesnt need to be bad for your back lol

[@rupertfergusson]

I hate bare walls.

[@stephenhill2404]

I love tidiness and only owning what you need and/or love, but you don't need to dress like a rag doll. And those walls are crying out for a splash of colour even if you paint a few abstract paintings yourself.
