How I’m Living More Simply | Minimalism

[@johannathorisdottir2456]

This is da bomb! I´m living a very simple quiet and a very boring life but it´s my life and i love it so much. I have become a sort of a stay at home not wanting to go out to meet people person. And it´s the best decision in my life....

[@NicholasGarofola]

Quiet doesn’t always mean boring! Love your insights Jóhanna 😄

[@johannathorisdottir2456]

@@NicholasGarofola Thank you so much! 🙂

Life is about people. Life happens outside. Staying in all day every day is not a way to excel in this thing called life. Relationships are everything.

Had a bit of a self-awareness moment recently when I had stitches on my scalp and couldn't wash my hair for a whole week. I was so self-conscious about what I looked like and worried about judgement from others. I don't think anyone even particularly noticed and I actually got a genuine compliment on my "new hairstyle." It has made me rethink how much emphasis I place on what I wear etc and reducing my wardrobe a bit more. As the old saying goes: "Those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter"

[@anjou6497]

Great comment. 👍💜

[@NicholasGarofola]

Well said 🙏🏻

[@sbyco]

This is so true. Some of my most blissful moments have been when I'm doing absolutely nothing, and yet I don't often allow myself to do nothing for some reaosn.

[@NicholasGarofola]

Exactly ☝🏻

[@sggprg]

My algorithm landed me on your channel just 4 days ago and I have finished watching almost all your uploads today! I’ve seen CK Space and Gabe Bult the very time they started their YT journey and I have now added you as a favorite!! Keep up the great work! You guys have tremendously made significant impact in my life through intentional living. So glad to have you take part of it. 😊

[@NicholasGarofola]

Thanks you so much Anne! I appreciate the kind words

[@kizzeluiz]

Ive realized how uncomfortable was being in total silence just because only in total silence you can really hear yourself in genuine perception and by doing that its quite painful sometimes but it worth it for me in the end :-) Quoting Virginia Woolf : Mrs Dalloway is always giving parties to cover the silence

[@gangan9751]

bro, I accidentally found your channel today as I am going through some depression situation. I had to say, your content is nice and relaxing and do give me inspiration to have a simple and relax lifestyle. Hope you are succeeded in your channel.

[@petermuller4265]

I'm new to minimalism and started slowing getting rid of things I don't use but kept them just in case. I have 2 weedwackers just in case. I have 6 blankets just in case. I have 3 space heaters, 2 kerosene heaters but I also have a furnace, but just in case. The More stuff I get rid of the less I feel stressed and weighed down. I'm also making better purchasing decisions. No more Carmel ice latte for 5 bucks a day. Plus I feel so much better when I don't drink it. But the stress of work and having to make a lot of money to support a lifestyle I didn't really like caused me to drink latte as my vice. I have a journey ahead but I look forward to it.

[@CKSPACE]

Thanks Nicholas, that's too kind! Enjoy watching your videos too😊

[@NicholasGarofola]

Thank you my friend ✌🏻

[@emilio556]

Your channel was all over my feed via the algorithm. This Matt D’avella minimalist style is absolutely great, loving these videos mate. Prepare to be one of the HUGE minimalist channels! Best of wishes to you mate

[@NicholasGarofola]

Thanks so much my friend I appreciate that!!

[@nemekSI]

*The big appeal to a minimal life for me is being able to be happy in the moment and not always wanting more! Great vid one of the best in the minimalism space!*

[@anniekip]

Love your self-awareness about what you might be missing or indulging in unconsciously. I am interested in minimalism , so glad to find you. I also do my best thinking when I am alone and it is silent - music feels like a distraction when I'm working. I consider myself an aspiring minimalist, so this was a really helpful and beautifully crafted video. Thank,s Nicholas!

[@NicholasGarofola]

Appreciate that feedback 😄 and thanks for the kind words Annie!

[@ashleerosser4118]

You know the feeling when you think the pastor is talking about you during the surman?... That's how I felt watching this video. It's exactly what I needed, thank you

I love the content you make mixed with your subtle humour. Much to learn from you. Wanna live a minimalist life. Own less, live more. Love from India.❤

[@neilschipper3741]

Right there with you on so many of your points of interest and clothing. Also right there with you about living in Florida, been here about 40 years I just love it. I got rid of the car several years ago and rely on public transportation. I can go to anything and anywhere in a three County area for just $2.50 a day. Parks, beaches and all the tourist spots.

[@NicholasGarofola]

I only recently started appreciating the beaches here 😄

[@neilschipper3741]

@@NicholasGarofola there are so many things to do just here in Pinellas County alone.

[@marissawussler8669]

Great video 🤩 I’m a simple homebody. I’ve found myself playing on my phone way too much lately and am trying to consciously put my phone down more often. I also am trying to incorporate more “slow days” as able and have less “go days”. Take care!

[@anjou6497]

Yes, me too. 👌🧡🌱

[@m-umar-amir]

I always try to sit alone in my breaks at University rather than to stroll around or have some junk snacks or talk to fake people. Just enjoying the moment and appreciating Life, the things which we have, and reminding Myself about meaning of Life is the way to go. P.S: the Break is of 1 hour but still spending Time for Ourselves is greater than with Friends, and Self Analysis is also required to Succeed Life and this 1 Hour is a good enough time to do that. 🔇🔇🔇

[@hartlink]

Hola, thanks for sharing your thoughts, I really find them very compatible, Im not into minimalism but I think that in most of the things we need to find balance so we can enjoy them the most, also avoid ends.

[@kaylealtamirano3710]

I have noticed that about myself too, that I run to replace things that are slightly worn or feel damaged to me. With tech as well or leather but that’s the beauty in that. Mindful moments is something I would love to become better at as well 😌

[@danim.2717]

I'm definitely going to look into Wabi Sabi more, great video. Lovely calico kitty btw, she is too cute!

[@shrushti5830]

Loved your video aesthetic! It's so much soothing to watch your videos :)

[@starttofinishmediaco.2520]

this is my favorite video of yours! hands down the best one!

[@NicholasGarofola]

Thanks so much!!

[@castanedagus]

Good video. Love the aesthetic of how it’s filmed, simple and clean. Which is what you preach. I can relate to all you’re saying especially about dressing and clothes. I have waaaay too much in that department. But then again I worked in fashion up til last year 🤪

[@juliem.3936]

I agree dressing more comfortably makes total sense but only having one pair of shorts in Florida not so much.

[@neilrevinmendesferreira7896]

I also easily indulge myself in things at the beginning, and sometimes I end up wasting unnecessary money. For example, when I like an app, like English leaning apps, most of the time I buy the pro version at the first day using, without taking a care to the fact that maybe I won’t use it next week. That’s a bad habit, and I need to change it.

[@mastandstars]

Yep. I need to step away from the cheap dopamine hits too.

[@scottjett8696]

Me too

[@lauragomezllanos2916]

You are an amazing storyteller ❤

[@NicholasGarofola]

Thank you Laura!

[@starbeck52]

For me the most important thing about a clothing choice is to be able to forget about what I’m wearing. If it’s my main focus throughout the day, it wasn’t a good choice.

[@NicholasGarofola]

A good way to look at it for sure!

[@anandahardial236]

Awesome content so glad I found this channel! I also live in Fl and as a woman value comfort equally with looking presentable. Still working on that balance but will never sacrifice.

[@ashbear2107]

yes, thank you for making this video. its a reminder to me to live more simply.

[@mikew8573]

Keeping it simple and bringing joy to oneself, not worrying about 'dress to impress', others opinions, makes one's life very peaceful, non-stressful, and more in balance. How old were you when you became full on minimalist, frugal? It's not something that happens overnight for sure.

[@Seolhwaneul]

Great video as always, but can we take a moment to admire that skateboard intermission like.. whoa 🤩

[@NicholasGarofola]
