HOW TO BECOME A MINIMALIST

[@stas563]

I just did my first Project 333/Capsule Wardrobe and I'm loving it! It's so shocking how little clothes you really need. I made $80 selling some old clothes and then I took that money straight to the American Apparel 40% off/going out of business sale to buy a nice pair of jeans and shorts (the denim is so think I love it!) and I just feel so much happier having a couple higher quality items in my wardrobe that I can wear over and over without wearing down the fabric.

yes! Love this :)

This is so inspiring! I recently realized my dream of moving abroad and studying a foreign language/literature and translation. I have made savings goals and now as I see my savings increase I get excited, though I work at a bookstore, so my ultimate goal at the moment is to not buy books anymore and only check out library books.

Good tips! I have been decluttering my clothes and i cant even imagine how much stuff i used to have! it is definitely a process and makes you think of what is important in life.

Minimalism on Netflix is absolutely incredible!! That's the first time I discovered this concept and fell in love :D

[@noratk1]

Just found your channel and I love it! Thanks for the video. Minimalism has been something on my mind for the new year. Keep up the great content!

[@Zeus-mo8et]

Thanks Amanda.

I've only been into minimalism for a week, and already I have so much free time, almost to where I don't really know what to do with myself. I still have more to do, and more to get rid of, but already I'm feeling pretty great! It's really hard for me to get rid of things still, and I'm still trying to adapt the minimalist mindset, but I'm getting there.

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

OMG I KNOW THE STRUGGLE. When I first went minimalist I was like... "what do I do with all this free time?" It's a great feeling to have and having that free time is what allowed me to really dig into myself and realize how many things I wanted to learn about! Since going minimalist, I've learned how to build websites, I've started a youtube channel, I'm learning about photography, I've read soooo many books and learnt so much more about psychology/communication, and I've created some insanely amazing deep relationships. I had no idea what would come out of minimalism before I started but these are the best results I've ever had from anything haha :) You can do it! Good luck

[@MarionFiedlerMusic]

Nice to meet you. It is lovely to hear that your life feels like a dream. You are happy. Thanks for sharing your experience! Hugs, Marion

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

[@StephanieLeeShine]

Amanda Round the Globe love it!

[@karengomez8507]

Hey I really love what you are doing, keep going!

[@jvenmar9446]

min .50, you are such a pro!

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

haha thanks amigo :)

[@gotitnow6046]

me too I just started watching videos and listen to podcasts of the minimalists after I clicked on one of the videos by accident and now, 2 days later I`ve got ridd of all the stuff (AND CLOTHES) I never used.... Minimalism was exactly what I needed to change my mind and life and I can feel me changing right now... love it bye

[@salinasn3]

I just saw the tedtalk and it was awesome

[@mindys1198]

I got started in Minimalism by reading "A Simple Year" Blog where this woman tried to buy nothing new for 1 year , and through reading that I found the Minimalists Website , then saw their TedTalk and became inspired. I still have a lot of stuff but I've probably gotten rid of %30 but most importantly I have not brought much new stuff in. I also really like the KonMarie Method so I have stuff but its only stuff I really love.

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

I've read that blog - it's incredible!!

[@Vdekort11]

Do you have a hair care routine video?

[@ChrisPPata-kc4td]

Wow, a smart non materialistic babe...how refreshing. Liked and subbed.

[@vickyfernandez108]

No spend January/2017 is off to a bad start. Grrrr... it's soo overwhelming! I stress shop, school is so crazy so I do it as like a temporary YAY! But it doesn't last. Ugh... 😧

[@daniellemorey1841]

I don't see the link to the Ted talk!:)

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

I put it up now :)

[@mrs.turnquest2620]

Hello I like your videos. The idea of minimalism is very appealing. I think the videos would come across better if you slowed down when you were talking. Keep talking by all means, just a little slower please :)

[@missmayflower]

I think you forgot to put the link to the 40 bags and to the ted talk.

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

I added it!

[@raymundo7983]

0:51 Was that a ghost?

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

Ray Mundo kind of... it was actually an insane wild animal who lives in my house (my housemates cat)

[@sachakahn2052]

I've been trying to declutter my house for well over a year now. A lot of things have gone, but I still feel like I have too much. I tried to adopt a rule like 'for every object that enters the house, two objects leave'. It works a little, but it's hard to maintain focus. One of the hardest parts for me to deal with is: presents, gifts etc. Some people just love to give you stuff... How do you deal with that?

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

I tell people to please not get me gifts. I tell them that if I need anything I'll let them know, or if they really want to get me something I tell them that they can get me a gift card to the grocery store or something that I will use up. This is a great topic, maybe I'll make a separate video about it :)

[@thelifeofapple4846]

How do you afford to travel around the world?

[@danielhuber4608]

Do you have a permanent address in your home country?

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

I use my parents address :)

[@cryptkeeper1325]

OMG, slow down..

[@IamAnnety]

You speak way too fast

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

I know :/ sorry! I speak slower in my more recent videos

[@foxdoglucy]

please don't speak so quickly - especially at the begging of the videos.

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

I've recently quit coffee (which I think was to blame for the really quick speaking haha) so from now on my videos will be much more chilled/relaxed :)
