6 Stages of Minimalism

#Minimalism
Today I go over a few stages/phases I went through when becoming a minimalist.
Hey everyone. My name is Nicholas and I make videos most about my experiences with minimalism, frugal living, tech, and things of that nature 🌱. I like to make content that feels like you're having a coffee with a friend ☕. So if that sounds good to you consider subscribing and I'll see you in the next one ✏️.

I was disappointed that 'the high/excitement' that I felt when I first heard about minimalism dissipated over time. Minimalism is about reflection and I am glad that I took the time to understand my feelings with this journey

[@Carolina-xd9mk]

It’s so interesting that so many people are going through this process including myself. I think society got to a point where we are actually finding out that less more basic is actually better… such a feeling of freedom

Your videography, vibes, and overall energy behind minimalism is just changing my life. Thank you.

[@NicholasGarofola]

I appreciate that ☝🏻

[@Budgetmeright]

First step is truly fascinating. When I discovered minimalism I was amazed! Valuing your time and energy was the most important thing so far in my journey. great video!

[@NicholasGarofola]

Thanks so much!

[@sandramaki7819]

Such an interesting perspective! I completely agree with you about the importance of protecting the time that we have. In my opinion, it is essential to living a calm and peaceful life. I say no to so many things I used to accept I.e. going to parties or events for people I didn’t really care for just to be polite. Now I gracefully decline, sorry I am busy. What I don’t tell them is that I am busy doing things that I love. Life is too short to waste with people we don’t appreciate, shopping and working to pay for our excess consumption. A simple life is so much richer. Thanks for your always interesting content!💚💚💚

[@NicholasGarofola]

Thanks so much for the kind words!

[@gracens5548]

Yep, when I realised that selfish is not inherentlyn a negative word, my mind expanded, my time became more valuable and I said yes to myself more. Thanks for another helpful video!

[@NicholasGarofola]

Well said!

[@RonnywithaY]

this man needs a podcast. I could listen to his videos all day omg

[@thatswhatisaid8908]

Even after years, i am still decluttering. Still working out what is important for me.

[@danyapavlovich4918]

Love this & love your content! 3 years ago I moved from a 3 bedroom, 2 storey home to a tiny home and have been struggling with all my stuff. I’m on the home stretch now and your videos helped me stretch that extra bit further to minimalism

[@NicholasGarofola]

I’m glad they’re helpful. And I’d LOVE a tiny home one day 😄

Thanks Rebecca! Love your videos 😄

[@rebeccajohnson4232]

I enjoyed how you talked about the ongoing process after you’ve reached the point of clarity. I’ve noticed there isn’t a lot of content on the maintaining process of minimalism.

[@genabrown8740]

Great video! Well stated. I appreciate your honest and personal approach 😁

[@NicholasGarofola]

Thanks Gena!

[@marianamota_]

The video I needed and didn't even know. Thank you Nicholas :)

[@NicholasGarofola]

Thanks again Mariana! Appreciate it 😄

[@anjou6497]

Your wearing one colour is so fascinating. Sounds simple, but absolutely not. I love grey. There's something profound about it, through all the shades ( no please, not that book!). Grey says to me i'm taking life seriously but i'm also not going to get distracted. It's also VERY photogenic. Have you noticed how much grey figures in movies re clothing.? ..its beautiful .(and its very flattering to a healthy natural skin colour, any skin colour..a lovely neutral). I've noticed many professionals wear grey, also. 👍🌱🦋🌱🧡

That man nic good w the acting 🤣 love the vids bro

[@jacquelinemcgowan8164]

Your content is very thought provoking i would love to talk to you, saying that because we who believe or think differently are often alone with our thoughts, i am ok with that now. Too much on my plate is something i am focusing on right now, resting planning days out because i feel so bored not being consumed with things or people, i need space so i go to the little duck pond where i live and just breathe. less is more these are just a few things that i am working on, even though we might look like we are not doing much or don,t have much that simply isn,t true thank you for sharing

Becoming one of the best youtuber. Bro keep it up.

Nice video mate, you have yourself a new subscriber, thanks! 👍

I like everything lined up straight, organized and clean. I cannot see stuffs in messy and not properly arranged or out. Minimalism suit my style of life. Having less items means having less trouble to make sure everything is tidy and organized.

[@m-umar-amir]

Well I am also the same as You, I also do not like things messed up, and I want to achieve smaller things in My Life but want to achieve them with Perfection..

Great video again buddy. I’m kinda at a maximal minimalist rn. I have more then most people who are minimalists, but less then most people. If that makes sense 😂

[@NicholasGarofola]

There’s a healthy balance there 😄

[@harrisondrew2983]

my experience with adhd, means that even with medication I have 3-4 month cycles where I'm focused then go back to a routine..

[@parastudent]

Hey man, I'm new to minimalism. I'm also new to your KZbin channel. As I'm new not sure if you have done already but would you consider doing a video on defining what minimalist is. I have searched for definitions from people who are minimalist but I actually only seen definitions from people who aren't minimalist I would be keen on hearing from a minimalist prospective.

[@NicholasGarofola]

I can touch on this!

Where you get your notebook from?

I know from the titel that the video will be good so i clicked on the like button before it started 🤣

Thank you 😄

[@juliemarkham4332]

Do you live in an apt or just rent a room? Most of your filming is done in your room, but occasionally we see a coffeemaker in what looks like a kitchen. Just curious, as renting a room would be cheaper, I think.

[@NicholasGarofola]

An apartment 😄

[@leviathanspirit3185]

I'm losing home and moving into a car soon. If you have any words about letting go of possessions I'd appreciate it.
