Everything I own as a extreme minimalist

[@CalipsoCareline]

As a poor woman from a third world country, we live minimalism because we don’t have money to buy anything. We work to much but our money is extremely inflacionated, so we don't have "buy power". I've always lived without proper furniture and old clothes and sometimes I had just one pair of shoes. When I started to work and got my own money and was able to buy stuff, a table, a proper bed, clothes, shoes, wardrobe, cabinets... I got so happy to have my house full of stuff to clean and organize. I look at all my mess everyday and I thank God for owning all that I have. Life is different for each one of us.

[@ChristianSimplicity]

Wow, a lot people in first world countries take our stuff for granted … but it sounds like you worked hard & care about your things! Great to hear! God Bless 🙏🏻

[@RawFruitGuy]

Also, more than just taking stuff for granted. I think more of the affluent west know we can pretty much get whatever we want when we want so the luster of ownership isn't as exciting. I believe as more of the world gets a higher standard of living/education... we will see more minimalist.

[@aUNCtarheeel]

Calipso Aiuxa-- but imagine if more of us lived like this is the west how much money we would have to help people in your situation! Here we just waste our money on stuff when as Christians we should.be good stewards of it and help others.

[@hannahrh3325]

No offense but you were never a minimalist you were just poor. Minimalism has nothing to do with the amount of stuff that you own it’s a mindset, it’s about only owning things that bring value to your life. I hate when people bastardize the term 🙄😬

[@cekmul]

minimalism is a process to declutter everthing in our mind when we young and mindfullness our body too at the end our life.thats why minimalism is mindfullness n fell to free for everything. start from thing n the body at the last. can we imagine our body will decompose some day no matter what, who i am n what i do.

[@marid.2874]

It's delightful how you have a little balloon to play with when your room is so minimal. Your inner child is alive and well.

[@evelinagutauskaite2657]

As a european, my household doesn't use laundry hampers, we just throw dirty clothes directly into the washing machine and we run a cycle when it gets full :)

[@evelinagutauskaite2657]

Well, I never had any problems washing everything together, but I don't really own super bright coloured clothes that could leak dye. There are also colour absorbing sheets that you could throw in the washing machine if you have clothing items that could leak dye when washed

[@ChristianSimplicity]

Interesting 🤔

[@travelingpetsitters]

Don’t know why I’ve never thought of this. Great idea!

[@aleksandrabucholc3888]

Haha, I live in Vienna and I also just put dirty clothes in the washing machine. The ones that are white or very delicate I just put separately into one small basket. Makes life easier :)

[@bruker4230]

@noorsulaimani I wash light and dark colors together and its not a problem

[@tink268]

The little prayering station is so cute. God bless u, brother❤

[@hippimamma]

I use to be minimalist about 20 years ago but all my clothes, furnitures and other essentials have always been very colorful. Nowadays I have big family, so have loose from my minimalist a bit. 😁 Still I have always bought or got things second hand. That is important to me.

[@ChristianSimplicity]

When I have a family I will probably become less minimalist.. but I agree it’s so much better & cheaper to buy second hand/ thrifting!!

[@freshbrewedasmr3378]

As a Catholic, I'm trying my hardest to be a minimalist (still a longggggggg way to go!) but one thing I can never have too much of is relics. So it's nice to see a little prayer space in your room; not many people show that.

[@ChristianSimplicity]

Yes! Even as a minimalist, physical prayer items are ESSENTIAL. I am now a Orthodox Catechumen! I have started collected Icons because they enhance my prayer life (: Relics, Icons, anything that helps you during prayer is a must have (don't get rid of it). Thank you & God Bless!!

[@freshbrewedasmr3378]

@@ChristianSimplicity Oh my goodness you are so sweet! I'm currently on my way to becoming a consecrated virgin and hopefully God-willing a diocesan recluse. I have a whole altar in my room covered with relics and even the Blessed Sacrament.

[@carolinedrinkwater8237]

I got rid of a few Eastern Orthodox Icon pictures (postcards hung on my wall) because they didn’t add value to my meditation or prayer.

[@shige7645]

Great video! I'll check your other videos. Trying to be a minimalist like you, I dump many kinds of stuff and my bed. Now I sleep with my dog in a sleeping bag on a tatami mat. It works for me.

[@lisa-jm2ky]

I think its great you got a table for your bible and prayer books! I agree, having it on the ground would show lack of respect i think that area of your room is nice

[@ChristianSimplicity]

Thank you Lisa (:

[@sydneyhoward5434]

I don’t like my Bible touching ground or any other thing too

[@dethwtch]

Very dope my man. Minimalism has been a long journey for me. I still have a long way to go before I reach my goal on where I want to be in terms of possessions. Videos like these help with inspiration. Thanks for the upload! Good work

[@midsummerbear]

not needing a laundry hamper makes sense! thanks for the idea

[@ChristianSimplicity]

Someone commented that they just put their dirty clothes directly into the washer -> and wash when it gets full! (I think that’s a great idea, that I may start doing) but glad I could help u simplify 😉

[@vffncl0]

Somehow this looks very depressing to me, but I lived with just 1 small suitcase for 6 months while abroad and I didn't miss anything... so I realize we really don't need a lot of stuff.

[@ChristianSimplicity]

I get what you’re saying. It does look kinda depressing (like solitary confinement) but honestly I am soooo happy and love how simple it is! 😃

[@Sticharion]

3:25 thx for showing how you sit without desk lol

[@cassandracocchetti4882]

i suggest you to have a coverup for your mattress, not an entire set of sheets, just the mattres coverup, it's better for hygene and to make your mattress last longer and keep it from dust and bugs, since that all is going oh the coverup that you can wash every now and then, and your mattress doesnt get permanently firty, especially if you dont want to get a steam cleaner, that is really more expensive and cluttering

[@patti8617]

Things laying on the floor and a messy bed always make a room look messy, even though the room may hardly have anything in it. Your closet is empty, so why not put your two piles of clothes in there on something minimal to get them up off the floor? A small lucite side table can hold your water glass and wires laying on the floor and would look much neater. And that secret dungeon room with a tv on the door and a bulletproof vest inside was creepy. Just my observations!

[@ChristianSimplicity]

watch my newer room tour video

[@nicnotes]

Ok so I'm just going through a ton of extreme minimalist videos on KZbin, and let me just say I geeked OUT when I saw your rosaries and when you mentioned Divine Mercy and the Angelus XD made a great video even better for me personally haha

[@ChristianSimplicity]

That’s awesome😄 those are some of my favorite prayers!! but glad it made it more personal! Extreme minimalism to me is all about depending more on God instead of the world. Which leads us to live more like Christ, be happier and more free 🥰

[@carlabottazzi]

Same here! Loved it :)

[@ocin7917]

Why do you have a bullet proof vest? Curious as to why a minimalist would choose this item over others?

[@jessicalleigh]

Also wondering 😂

[@katedart707]

I move frequently and probably will continue to do so for the next few years, so I'm trying to cut down on my possessions. It's a little hard when you have an entire apartment's worth of stuff. Glad to see a Catholic minimalist on here though 🙂

[@blssedivine]

i absolutely love the balloon😭💕

[@thelittlethings3996]

I think I'd like this with art work of deer, band posters, a lot more clothing, floral prints, and my sentimental items(6 childhood toys+pictures). How long have you been minimalist for? I'm a junior in highschool, and was a minimalist all of middle school. I got into fashion and started accumulating a lot

[@ChristianSimplicity]

I have been a minimalist for about 3 years. Fashion can be cheap, fun and minimal if done right! like shopping at thrift stores. The main concern with accumulating a lot of stuff is it is expensive$$!! and make sure you aren't buying stuff to fill a void in your life. Sometimes when people feel stressed, lost in life, separated from God = they attempt to fill that void with bad habits!

[@alger723]

[@kaidrewry1381]

Nice! Aiming to have towards that amount too. Question tho: how often do u do laundry? I mean if u only have a few socks & u switch every day then u do laundry every few days?

[@ChristianSimplicity]

Once a week. or every 7-9 days but it really depends on how much physical activity I did that week!

[@kaidrewry1381]

@@ChristianSimplicity ok. But u only have 4 socks. Do u sometimes hand wash them? Otherwise how can it wait for 9 days?

[@ChristianSimplicity]

@@kaidrewry1381 I wear each pair 2-3 days. I don’t think you need to wash after each time you wear (unless you are working out/ sweating a lot). I basically wear each pair for a few days and that’s how I get them to last 7-9 days. Maybe it’s different but I don’t really sweat that much….

[@kaidrewry1381]

@@ChristianSimplicity i see. Interesting. I guess they can also be turned insidenout and worn again if u didnt sweat with them a lot

[@swagmanandy]

Something I sometimes do with underwear and socks and possibly sometimes t-shirts is to wash them at the same time as I shower to cut down on laundry, also if you hang damp t-shirts in a humid bathroom when they dry the humidity takes all the creases out of them without ironing.

Seeing the house of extreme minimalist people always reminds me to the house of the last hunter gatherer in my country which I stayed for 2 nights during vacation. No furniture, thin matras in the floor for sleeping, several clothes, few modest plates, glasses and pot for cooking; but they still wear colorful necklaces, bracelet, headband and flowers in their hair. I wonder if the extreme minimalists wont't be bored one day...no color, no art, no texture...
