A Day in the Life of a Spiritual Minimalist

[@lorpumpkinpatch6720]

when you gave the lil baby some smoothie, my heart melted 😭💖

[@4869luv]

Omg right!

[@carapolley9354]

Awww you gave your pet a bit of your green smoothie. Yay ♡

[@Tutume1111]

So cute 😍👌

Loving the root chakra healing😂💃🏽

Daily practice is optimal for healing ;)

[@Ksiciliani]

I am so happy I found your channel, I've been in a funk lately and just seeing your beautiful space but your non attachment to said space is very inspiring. I've been working on minimizing my things for a few years now (I also come from a hoarder parent and they give me a lot of things), and I've only recently started looking at my space as a canvas rather than a storage area. I decided to take everything off of my shelves and only put back what I wanted there instead of all the things I own. I'm now figuring out what to do with that other stuff (haha) BUT your video gave me the nudge I needed to keep going. Much love!

[@JanellKristina]

that's awesome, you'll figure it out take it slow and be gentle with yourself

[@reinm7553]

I love how you pu that to words 'look at your space as a canvas rather that a storage area':) one to remember!

[@wakeupinwinter]

I always feel inspired after watching your videos! I'm currently on the east coast trying to move to the west coast next year. I got a taste of it this year and love that nature is more accessible and appreciated out there. I wish you the best with all of your future journeys! :) Thank you as always for sharing your life with us all on this platform!

[@CC-lq3ie]

[@kendrahampton1631]

This was absolutely beautiful. I am so happy that you'll moving to a new place that is more aligned with your lifestyle. I'm anxious to see the cool content that will come with the change of location. Have a great day!

I really loved watching this. I too share this same concept of peaceful and intentional living and every day I strive toward fully embracing this authentic way of being. You're such a beautiful and positive inspiration. Thank you for sharing! 🙏🙏❤️

[@baptisteringot]

There's a lot of peace and tranquility out of your person and home. That's heartwarming to see, you seem to be reaching your goals, and move forward in peace. Congratulations, keep on moving towards yourself! 🙏🏼😊

[@AmberSlemmer]

This whole video was so tranquil, peaceful and beautiful!! Thanks for the inspo :)

[@KingaZajacNNR]

Girl, your yoga skills are awesome! I've been watching you for couple of months now and I always admire how strong of a person you are, especially after seeing the videos on depression and living with a hoarder parent. You build your life on your own terms, being a minimalist, carring most about yourself, your friends and your pet. I hope one day I can be like that. Sending all my love to you ;*

[@JanellKristina]

Kinga Zając thank you so much love 💛 being aware of what you want is the first step, enjoy the journey

[@ThePolo373]

I was so not expecting this! Your energy is BEAUTIFUL .wishing you the best in all your adventures

[@LookingGlassMeg]

I think this is the first time I've ever been first to watch a video. I discovered your channel only a week ago (the one about being a child of hoarder parents because I relate) and have been watching a ton of your videos! Nice job with the high quality content and happy hamster :)

[@JanellKristina]

It's so nice to have you :) That feed back on that video has blown my mind and hearing from so many other people in similar situations is comforting. Thank you!!

[@callmelilsha]

i smiled throughout this whole video. you speak to my SOUL! i love the path youre on.. it's very similar to mine. much love to you!

[@JanellKristina]

thank you!

[@carteroneal8836]

I’ve just found you and you’re a beautiful human. Thank you! ❤️

[@palestblue]

I loved this video. I think the reminder that we have a lot of control over our life and that living by your values is what will bring you closer to peace is such an important reminder. Also really love your home and how much it seems to reflect who you are :) It's so cool how minimalism in terms of what physical things we own can make our surroundings reflect who we are on the inside. Naaaawwww when you shared your breaktfast smoothie with Sun Bak I kind of melted a little, so cuuuute. LOL also loved the dance intermission with your friend. So spiritual ^•^ Thank you so much for sharing your day and your thoughts

[@susanharkema2888]

Awww...Sun Bak likes smoothie. Adorbs! I'm just so happy that I found your channel. Congratulations on the intention and effort to accomplish this lifestyle and pursue your goal of doing what you need to in order to do what you want to. SO inspiring for someone else who struggles with mind clutter and depressive tendencies.

[@mhyntea]

I love ATLA, yoga, meditation, and root chakra dancing too! :) Subscribed! 🙏❤️

[@mairialexopoulou5367]

Another amazing video. Insightful, honest, deep, true, loving, lovely. Thank you, Janell.

[@thejesinator]

I love that tapestry above your bed! And the shout out to Avatar. More people should watch it, such an amazing show!!

[@TheWellnessAbbey]

Such a great video. I love the honesty and imperfection. That smoothie made my mouth water.

[@Borinquena1973]

Your channel is very soothing. I appreciate how imperfectly perfect your routine is. For so long I have tried to get up at five in the morning unsuccessfully to try to be in some type of club and deleted my Facebook and Instagram multiple times when it really brings me joy to see artwork and talent around the world and to keep in touch with friends and family. I was trying to be so regimented and it was making me stressed out. So it’s OK not to do everything, I get up when my body tells me I need to get up, and the key is balance. Love your vibe. Woosa.

[@JanellKristina]

DKeough1973 it’s all about balance, find what works for you and ease into it :)

[@MsTea-nx1br]

Love how your life seem so simple and peaceful....IAM trying to find my own peace in being my own person and letting go of the past so I can move on and become a better person..... great video .✌️🙏🙏

[@denrodriguez4]

Omg you’re so good at yoga! You are also SO beautiful 😭✨ Keep doing your thing queen.

[@GoldPaintedDaisies]

You should make a video about your favorite books about spirituality that you’ve read! This is something I’m trying to get into more, and your channel has been a big inspiration.

[@JanellKristina]

[@TheSunriseInside]

Thanks for the amazing & genuine way of showing your daily life :) also love how you acknowledged you’re trying but aren’t quite there yet with the consistency of your morning routine.. cause honestly, same. I try so hard but some days staying in bed & scrolling on Instagram is just more appealing than early morning yoga 🙈 anyway. Love your content.

This was SO KEWT I also really like how you talked about your days off being inconsistent because like, routine can be really difficult to establish, so I really relate to that. Good luck with your travels & moving across the county! I'm also about to move across the country where it's more progressive & there's public transportation. lol It's stressful, but I hope both of our processes go smoothly.

YESSS, AVATAR! Best show ever. I just found your channel, I love it.

[@thackblanos]

I like the yin and yang foxes art piece above your bed. I know what you mean about the 4am challenge of getting up that early but I recently saw a tweet that referenced "successful people wake up at 4am any difference?" (I'm paraphrasing). I took that as a personal message to myself "like all your life you've woke up late and have done pretty much what you wish too do(which I consider a success) but what will it hurt to try something new just to see if you have different results". That's all it was I think was to challenge myself to see if there is any validity to becoming more productive waking up that early and I tell you what it's been incredible because it take me awhile to get my motor running(which sounds alot like you) this gives me that Time to do so. I also do yoga, eat early and settle in more before my day officially starts. It literally feels like time is slowing down so I keep looking at the clock and can't believe there's still so much more time left in the day, I have more clarity on making decisions throughout the day of what I need to accomplish and perform my tasks with less clutter, interesting changes so far. I know you work 12's so it maybe hard to try it on those days but just try something new I wanted to do it before New year's to get acclimated to a new mode. Your a very beautiful young women.
