As someone with crazy ADHD, I swear that decluttering really does change your life friends! When I learned how important cleaning was in the Japanese and Buddhist cultures, I did a deep declutter over 30 days as well! Now I clean about 15 minutes before every morning to really keep my peace and allow for my most efficient and intuitive moments throughout the day. I definitely recommend trying to incorporate this for all my neurodivergent folks and everyone looking to add a helpful habit to their morning routine. Much love friends. - Maha

The tip about not going in chronological order is *gamechanging*, holy crap haha. I never thought about it that way, and I always struggle with the challenges because I don't like holding myself back to only get rid of one or two things when I'm excited and motivated, and then I eventually fall off and don't get to the days with larger decluttering numbers. I'm definitely trying this again, but picking whichever numbers suit my energy levels and time available each day!

My mind constantly goes between "i have too much stuff, it's overwhelming, i need to get rid of everything" to "i want to buy all these silly little things to make my silly little brain feel better" 😅

This video is a breath of fresh air in this crazy tiktok consumerism era! There’s a new trend every week and so many “unmissable” products that are just as good as any other thing you’ve seen before. Realising that we don’t need more things is so liberating sometimes! Thanks for the amazing video ❤️

Everyone please remember that you DONT need to get rid of things for the sake of decluttering. Don't create more waste than necessary. Only give away items you truly don't need or see any value in keeping anymore <3

I listened to the audio book the life changing magic of tidying up while I’m on the shower. Finished it after 5 showers I think. After that I got myself a Kindle and got rid of all my books and kept 3 faves. I burned all my journals cause I feel like I wouldn’t ever wanna look back of the things I’ve written. I got rid of 90% of my clothing and things that don’t serve me. It felt so easy to let go of the items that has sentimental values on it that I struggled to let go of. A few days after I decluttered I cried so hard not because of the things I’ve gotten rid of. I think it’s because all the clutter, and me putting off organizing are all gone. I can face my real demons now without all these distractions. I think decluttering put me in a better place than I was before.

This is an awesome idea. I’ve tried 30 Day Challenges before but motivation goes in peaks and troughs. No idea why it’s never occurred to me to just do a different day if my motivation isn’t where I want it to be. My brain would refuse to Do The Thing and would then say “Well? You failed your challenge.” As odd as it sounds, thank you for finding this loophole and reminding us all that perfect is the enemy of good.

loved the part about being gentle and not putting too much pressure on yourself to reach your "ideal state of minimalism". 🌼

I’ve been slowly decluttering for almost 3 years now and it feels SO good!! Something that doesn’t get brought up enough about decluttering is to make sure you’re not replacing it all with new/different things 🙂

[@heavingbehemoth789]

Your thoughts about not letting your current space dictate your mindset was very helpful. I’m currently moving my little sister out of our abusive childhood home to live with me and my fiancé in our tiny, two bedroom apartment. The chaos and constant reminder of STUFF is making my already stressful situation feel unbearable, but I know that this feeling is temporary. Thank you for this beautiful, well-edited, and thoughtful video :)

You may have heard of the earthquakes in Turkey. We lost 44,000 people so far. My family and I were not harmed in the earthquakes. The day we got the first news, everyone started collecting donations: money aid, diapers, wet wipes, sanitary pads. During this whole process, apart from feeling intense sadness, I also questioned life. What was important in life? Before the earthquake, I had dreams for 2023, for example, what would I get myself and my family with my first salary? I realized that we think that buying something will make our lives better and give us happiness. Better cars, more expensive furniture, etc. However, the time we spend with our loved ones gives us real happiness, and only these memories are meaningful before death. We only think about our experiences and the people we love. That's why we should spend our money on experiences, not things.💙

I love how your decluttering is informed by the world you want to live in - a shared and circular economy. Even i felt lighter after seeing your room at the end! I also really appreciated your comments about having the energy to create that change in your space and being centered within yourself - that being more important than the external conditions. 💚

I like the idea of the Kon Mari method, decluttering in categories instead. Honestly, for me just the decluttering part is not always the most stressful and overwhelming part but what to do with it and actually getting rid of the stuff I have decluttered is the main problem for me and therefore I procrastinate the decluttering part from the begining haha.

I've been feeling very stuck lately, having to help with caring for an elderly family member, and not being able to do a lot of the things that I would like. This came at a perfect time. Thank you for sharing your tips with us, Leah, especially the one about not doing it chronologically, it makes so much sense!

[@demideridder]

What I absolutely loved about this video is that, first of all you didn’t do this declutter because of the “aesthetics” but because of the past year you found that you liked living with less. And also the gentle kindness to yourself. I am a new viewer to your channel, and I am absolutely loving your video’s. Thank you for inspiring me! And keep being yourself ❤️

I think I may give this challenge a go. I did a huge declutter last year but new things deep creeping into my room. I agree that we keep things for sentimentality. I have my journals which I write in everyday, photo albums, reading journals and sketchbooks. I recently went to a concert and took no pictures or videos and I have the memories and I actually got to enjoy myself. I want to live more like that so doing this challenge will help I think.
