45 Things I Quit to Simplify my Life | MINIMALISM

[@royalnavarre1673]

I quit hair dye! I decided it was time to stop wasting money and embrace my silver hair at age 58. What freedom!!

[@angelglumac486]

I stopped painting my nails… I still do my toenails though

[@queenofdahouse1591]

Unfortunately. Gray hair ages you twenty years. Find a training beauty school and have it done for Pennie’s. I’m 63 and people think I’m ten to twenty years younger… but I don’t have gray hair.. just like to be blonde!!!

[@agak9974]

Hair dye we need ;)

[@sandrafrederick4923]

Yaaaasss!

[@sandrafrederick4923]

​@@queenofdahouse1591 Since I'm not worried about attracting anyone anymore, age is freedom from the dating scene.

[@susannehakanlind2942]

Great video! I quit going to the hairdresser five years ago. I cut my hair myself. I save money and never get disappointed 😀 I quit wearing heels. I feel so comfortable 👍 I quit worrying for the future. I really enjoy the presence of ”now”. I quit buying clothes made of polyester. I love my cotton, linnen and silk. My body can breath and they last so much longer. ❤️

[@missymischief1802]

Natural fibres much healthier too.

[@andreadanburg5649]

One thing I would suggest, especially for those of us who prepare most of our own meals: I like to play classical music softly while cooking and eating. It sets the mood and makes the meal feel fancy even if it’s just omelettes and smoothies 🤗

[@margaretmatheny]

Oh yes, makes it all better! We're Andrea Bocelli fans over here :)

[@As-fk1rb]

That's nice ,adding a candle to thst might even up the atmosphere.

[@daniqsaa]

Instantly fell in love with this idea 😍

[@KC-dr3cg]

It's a proven fact that if you listen to music before you go to sleep at night and you have a challenge to overcome it will help your brain come up with an idea while you're sleeping

[@bethlovesdogs]

I *love* that idea! 🥰

[@Claudia_K.]

It’s just so refreshing to see someone speak up against consumerism, especially in this space. Loved your tips, Margaret! x

[@nathananderson8720]

This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my KZbin channel 2 months ago about self development. Now I have 196 subs and almost 82 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I couldn’t have learned without getting started in the 1st place.

[@elizabeth-q9b2u]

I personally make a list of things I need and/or want before I get the money to purchase it. I've been doing that for years and it trained me to just buy what's on my list and when it's not on the list I don't even think about it. It definitely makes life simpler 😊

[@As-fk1rb]

I fell naturally into this to from online shopping it sit in my cart then I'd just delete it cuz I decided we'll I don't actually need it like i thought Or I found it used ect ect..

[@HaloReachMaster11]

I am 58 years old, and I just learned many of these things embracing minimalism 6 years ago. I was raised in a different time, and time changes things. Technology has replaced many items we had to buy for use, but so many people walk around as mental hoarders because of information overload. Something I too have to keep ‘in check’. You have done well. Had I embraced simplification of my life many years ago, I can hardly imagine what my life might look like today. Be Simple, Live Simple ❤

[@lizpetruzzi7700]

For me, part of intentional living isn’t just letting things go but adding things like gardening that might not be simple but bring me joy. I’m just careful to not add too much - when there’s too much “noise” and superficial stuff, It dilutes the things that bring the most love, joy and value. Great video and would absolutely LOVE an example of a simplified/minimal iPhone! Thank you for valuable, authentic content!❤️

[@Iwasahippychick]

Gardening is the best therapy, isn't it?

[@lizpetruzzi7700]

@@Iwasahippychick it sure is! I love digging in the dirt and later watching things grow, bloom or produce.

[@Thejjudy]

I can really relate to the idea of expecting too much from oneself and others... and then getting overwhelmed and getting done nothing at all . Trying to quit the "all or nothing" mentality and keep expectations realistic. Thanks for the video, first one to inspire me in a while x

[@rebekah175]

This the one of the best videos I've listened to in a long time. Very empowering and encouraging! I want to take many of the tips to heart and start putting them into practice. Thank you so much dear Margaret! May you be richly blessed in return for blessing others!

I agree I’d love to hear them also! They help to inspire what mine/ours will also be ❤

[@margaretmatheny]

These words are so incredibly kind and uplifting. Thanks for saying that. So happy to share my purpose, but please know...it's not meant to be a "holier than thou" response. I'm broken, I fail every single day but my purpose is what helps me reprioritize, get back up and refocus on the big picture. My purpose: to serve the Lord and glorify Him with my life - the way I treat others, love my husband, care for myself, work, fail, forgive, care for my home, etc. I came to this after simplifying and writing in my gratitude journal for several months(that may not be your route, but it definitely was mine). I started to realize that all I have and all that I am has nothing to do with me. It's all been given to me by the Lord. And every time I went through seasons of anger, feeling lost, and discontent, it was because I was focusing on being my own hero....life was all about me and how I could save myself (buying happiness, depending on others' perception of me, overworking to prove myself, etc). So it became pretty clear where I needed to shift. Again, I fail daily but every time I repeat "Serve the Lord and worship Him with _____(responding to my children, cleaning a messy home, being patient, completing mundane tasks, etc), it feels as if things immediately fall back into place.

This was such a great video and great wisdom! The whole phone in the morning thing- I agree 100 on that! My days are SO much better without starting with opening my phone. Also just staying off the phone for most of the day!

[@unciaciapanca]

Girl there is a huge difference between acknowledging we need to quit some bad habits and actually doing it. I do think I overconsume information, I gossip to fill in gaps etc but something deep down in me is not able to let these things go. You did a lot

[@t.meNataliebennet]

🙏🙏👆 Let talk on telegram........❤🎉😂

[@margaretmatheny]

I feel you! It took me a while to actually break the habits, but when it happened it just felt so natural. No part of my mind and body enjoyed speaking with negativity. I can catch myself very quickly just by sensing how I'm feeling...like my mood shifts instantly! And I'm like NOPE, not going there.

[@ManiGupta49]

This video was quite resonating. Lately I had this realization that I have more stuff than I require and use, especially clothes and footwear (thank god I’m not into makeup and accessories). In order to refrain myself from not buying more than required, this thought came into my mind that I will not buy anything if I’m not gonna use it multiple times, and I have limited time and money and will not spend on materials which are going to make me miserable when I’ll see them in my wardrobe. Surprisingly, I have also stopped wasting food when I realized that I can take second helping if required. Planning groceries is so important and my mum needs to understand this because usually either she buys something that’s not needed or forgets to buy what’s needed. I have told her multiple times but no use. Also, keeping things back in the place helps a lot. You don’t need to take out special time to keep the space clean if everything’s at their own assigned place, saves a lot of time. Overconsumption of information is really stressing sometimes, and I’m cutting down my KZbin because of this (and I don’t use any other platforms of social media, good for me!). Thank you for making this video❤

[@louisetilbury3443]

I took notes! They all make complete sense but until you REALLY look at the points, you cant see the impact it has everyday. Thank you. Great video. You look like you’re blooming now. ❤

[@samantha_budhu]

[@gracefurey8359]

Margaret! I light up when I see a notification from you on my phone. You have spoken life into mine in a way that few can. You have helped me see that there is another way. Thank you for being here

[@paige6531]

I have learned so much from you that has changed my life for the better. Thank you so much for being incredibly intentional ❤

[@j.r.1823]

I really appreciate this list! Some of the points that stand out for me are walking slower (personally, I like to take pics of little things along the way, that really helps with slowing down), not stressing about other people's opinion about us, not stressing about healthy food too much/ allowing ourselves treats as well... I think I have to go through the video again, there are so many good suggestions! I like that you are truly choosing for yourself what matters to you and don't let others/ social media trends etc. dictate your goals or pace of life. Great example for us all! ❤

[@irishcladdagh3]

😂😂😂 the jumbo pens....I struggled with many on your list and I was so deeply engaged in this video and the jumbo pens just broke me in laughter and I didnt even realized I had been holding my breath listening to your list....Thanks for bringing fun and relaxation to this community 💜

[@lenafreeze7131]

I love these so much! I have done quite of few of these too and I agree, it is wonderful but I think I’ll write down the rest you said to remind myself to do those too! I think the one I try at but is hardest for me is not expecting perfection from children! It’s so ridiculous to do but so hard not to!

[@MargaretandFox]

Now I gotta ask… what was your purpose? And also, how did you go about finding it? I’m Catholic so for me I understand that I have an inherent purpose, but a lot of the time I struggle to find a more personal purpose to give me that drive to spend my time and energy wisely and to be moving towards my goal. What’s your secret??

[@margaretmatheny]

Hey July, I'm so happy to share my purpose, but please know...it's not meant to be a "holier than thou" response. I'm broken, I fail every single day but my purpose is what helps me reprioritize, get back up and refocus on the big picture. And all of ours can differ! This was my journey to finding out mine. My purpose: to serve the Lord and glorify Him with my life - the way I treat others, love my husband, care for myself, work, fail, forgive, care for my home, etc. I came to this after simplifying and writing in my gratitude journal for several months(that may not be your route, but it definitely was mine).

I m definitely growing weary of information overload and peoples opinions on social media and KZbin. Also,growing weary from bad and sad news and keeping up with all the birthdays and holidays online...just think your real life friends are probably not that many..like people you talk to on a consistent basis or see but on Facebook we may have 600 people or some 1000! And we end up knowing so much about people that we may know as aquitances that if social media didn't exsist..we wouldn't know anything about them. I just find myself feeling bogged down even when its time to pray..so many people to pray for. Thank you margaret for being a voice of reason and inspiration

Couldn't let go of some things yet and trying to do small changes into non toxic. First to make sure I don't overwhelm myself and second that it's not a mood and it's a lifestyle I want to become lol. I'm struggling bad with comparing and overwhelming though and making sure I don't buy every item you guys have to cook and clean etc all right now. Only got needs at target today. And took pictures of wants lmao. Thank you guys for your videos

Another tip for less stress with kids Know your stuff will get messed up and broken, buy furniture that is more sturdy than beautiful. We got giving an ugly but sturdy farm table we striped it and let the kids splatter paint it and hand print it with neon colors over a black painted top then we put a gloss finishing coat on it and it looks amazing and unique. And couches and chairs we get used we always throw blankets over them easier to clean and hide stains.

Girl you had so many of the things that I have been quitting in the last few years. What a wealth of information. The only thing that did not resonate with me is using supplements. I feel that if you eat fresh and don’t eat all the food that is loaded with crap there is not a need for them. But like my mom always said I will tell you what I think and you are going to do what you think anyway. Great ideas all the way and I hope you get many views on this, it is sooooo helpful.

I could use your prayers as I’m 39 with four little ones all under nine and was just diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and Hashimoto’s. I’ve been eating pro metabolic and clean for years. It’s super discouraging, but I’m believing that I can be an overcomer. If any young mamas like me, have any tips, I would appreciate it and your prayers.

Hi Margareth, thanks for the lovely video, made me open my eyes to lots of things I would rather live without as well. COULD you suggest other KZbinrs you mentioned that inspire you? thanks !!
