[@OGSarah]

The most profound statement in this video is “I am complete in an empty room .” Minimalism has taught me to view possessions as tools for my everyday life and as soon as I shifted my thinking, I found a great sense of peace and happiness. I am now liberated from my belongings.

[@MusclesandBooks]

Yep, this really hit me too.

[@desiree2086]

So true!

[@joubertdias296]

That statement hit me more then my cup of coffee I'm currently drinking

[@ammarhassan_]

When my room was made in our house as family got bigger. I had one table for desktop, floor bed and no sofa. Everyone hated it and I didn't know why they hated it coz they couldn't sit on bed or floor or chair. Now I know I am Minimalist n my wife is a messy person, it is a painful experience,

I think the message you’re teaching your daughter about giving to others is really the thing that stuck out most to me. We don’t teach people the idea of giving enough. Props to you on being a great parent.

[@finawatsonart]

I agree. When I recently told my mother I was letting go of some jewellery I no longer wear because it was a shame to have beautiful things hidden in a box when they would bring someone else joy she seemed very surprised and had never thought in that way about keeping unused items.

[@EileenRobles]

This strongly stood out to me as well! Love this!

He's had plenty of time to apply minimalism to his understanding of minimalism. Not stripping away what is important, but emphasizing what is important. Stripping his thoughts into a bare bones understanding. Definitely beautiful.

[@mandycortese9293]

They didn’t call it this back when I was growing up, but apparently my mom was a minimalist. I remember us constantly going through our stuff and getting rid of what we no longer used. She also didn’t decorate for holidays. By the time I was grown, I didn’t have one single thing left from my childhood. I guess I’m supposed to be good with that, but it always made me a little sad. I would have liked to read some of those books to my kids.

[@kateb6893]

I'm so sorry for that. I would have been that mom to an extent if I hadn't had my MEL'S example to follow. She kept two bins of her 4 sons most loved toys from their childhood and saved them for her grandchildren. All of the 80's and 90's action figures, toy cars, micromachines, Legos, etc. have been well-loved over the years and much of it is still in fantastic condition. It will probably be passed down to great-grandchildren. I have a box of my daughter's old toys, as well as a few of her baby garments that I couldn't depart with, and a box of my sons' toys. We call them the "grandma boxes".

[@mariahsmom9457]

My mom threw out or gave away all of my childhood things. I saved a couple boxes and that was it. I feel you.

[@mckenzielangendorf1437]

Aw 😢 that’s rough. There’s definitely a line between holding onto nothing and holding onto just the most important things.

[@abdeljabar88]

Your apartment makes more sense than most minimalists where it's 90% empty. Minimalism should be about keeping things that make sense to you, not just throwing everything away.

[@abdeljabar88]

@Andrew Potter You're right. One has to make minimalism work for them and not the other way around; some people do indeed embrace it as a religion. It can be dangerous sometimes!

[@anacorona2527]

Abdeljabar Taoufikallah agree with you! It almost defeats the purpose of making life easier because now you are “trying too hard”.

[@abdeljabar88]

@@anacorona2527 Right. Thought it was about eliminating stress, but I see other people putting even more stress on themselves by throwing almost everything away.

When I started getting rid of the excess my kids asked if we were moving lol. The whole house looks so bigger now...I absolutely love it. Thank you guys, I would have never done this without you.

[@konsueloramirez]

These men right here are the reason why I started becoming a minimalist. Ever since my favorite cat died last december 25 I lost all my will of living and finally understood that stuff cannot make up your happiness; experiences can do it instead. I started listening to episode 1 of their podcast asni got rid of EVERYTHING that didn't add value to my life, starting from my bedroom. They're my OG guides and the reason I understood minimalism as a life style. Their podcast jingle is a daily mantra of mine as well.

[@DieTFT]

I'm happy to say that I am becoming a minimalist, just started to declutter 2weeks ago and when my sister visited me yesterday pondered & thought I got robbed. 🤣

[@deewilliams9375]

LMAO my children are seeing less and less every few days... & they live with me. SAME SENTIMENTS over here lol.

[@creature57]

As an artist, I have to say I have an issue with bare walls in a home. I need art around me. I need to see it the art in each room I go into. Something I love, something that has meaning to me. I only have other people's work on my walls (except for one portrait of my mother) and, artwork given to me by the children in my life. That's more important to me than anything I could purchase. Keep doing what you're doing.

[@donnabrown3209]

Best sentence ever said is on this video. “I’m complete in an empty room.” I’m holding onto that forever. 💖💖💖 Thank you Josh!

[@Debbiesdilemmas]

Ella is such a cutie! She is going to be one of few children than are always satisfied with what they have. I hope and pray that minimalism will be more the norm in the future. If consumerism continues as it’s been going I’m afraid for our world.

[@sdd1210]

Very well curated and thoughtful. As an interior designer I wish more people understood your approach to your home. So many of my clients are just filling up space and less is more can be hard to get across. I hope the good works you’re doing spread like wild fire! Beautiful space! Thank you for sharing.

[@lorenl9262]

Thanks to you and Joshua, I became a minimalist during the Pandemic and I live in an empty apartment since August 2022. I have NO couch and nothing on the countertops. Everything is put away so when I get home, I have nothing to put away or clean. This makes my life stress free and completely comfortable to relax in.

[@MinoyHoiMi]

Awesome! Thank you for letting us into your home!

[@peytonsalisbury9669]

[@stratogustav]

This looks like a normal home. People here in U.S. are such hoarders that normal amount stuff can be called minimalist.

[@myrtlebeachsara]

True, it's also clean, most people are messy

[@Odys42]

That's so true !! I don't know why people are calling this minimalism. This is just normal life.

[@AlexCequea]

Seriously. This drives me fucking bonkers. I live a minimalist life and have been traveling the world (25+ countries in the last 5 years) and I'm like "Why the fuck is there so much shit in your house??" Literally everything I own fits in a backpack + carry on. AND I work remotely full time. This is like faux minimalism for out-of-touch, ultra-wealthy people.

[@lisahuisintveld4233]

So true! I love the minimalist. But indeed if you compare it, the US seems to be a completely different world. In Europe, I don't know anyone with more than one living room xD

[@Swameh]

@@AlexCequea I think you're missing the point. Minimalism doesn't discriminate against income, location or even square footage, although when practicing it you'll probably soon realize what too much space is. It's about the way you mindfully fill the space you can afford with the things that will serve a purpose in Your Life(tm). I don't believe you have to be able to cram your whole life into a backpack or tiny home to be 'good' minimalist, but if you can afford to do so, it serves you and brings you joy and freedom, have at it! It's not a competition. You might want to check in why you feel this way.

[@kimscooterjamieson]

My family and are are working on “letting go” of THINGS. We have come a long way from when we started and it feels so good. So freeing. I can’t get enough of the minimalists. You guys are so inspiring and so appreciated. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge. Much love from 6breakingloose 💜

[@julieheppe6252]

What brings me joy? A few library books that rotate about every two weeks! I am diverse in my reading so some weeks the books will be non-fiction biographies and sometimes a selection of new Sherlock Holmes stories. I can return the books after getting joy from them and pick up an entire set of new adventures the next time! Thanks for your inspiration.

[@talkspresentation6082]

I once had a two floor house with 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 kitchens and it’s really huge because we are only a family of 3. When I decided to move to a much much smaller apartment (87 m2) with only 2 bedroom and 1 bathroom, everybody’s questioning my choice. Some of them are actually thinking I am going bankrupt. 😅 mine is much smaller than yours. And I am trying to declutter as much as I can

My life has been changed forever and life is less complicated, and became happy with the simple things that make me happy. So much so, I have decided to spread this idea forward with those in my life. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. 🇿🇦

I adore that little giggle at the end of the intro, it is infectious and always makes me smile. A lesson there in a way to give value to others. It doesn't have to cost money or resources to brighten someone's day a little

[@SnowySpiritRuby]

"I am complete in an empty room" - this is very close to the motto I've been living by for the last few years: "Simple is best. Have as much open space as possible. Keep only what's necessary, serves a purpose, and is beautiful." I will be showing this video to my mom - every time my parents visit, my mom always makes a point of complaining about how spartan my apartment is, just because I don't have walls covered in decorations or tons of furniture everywhere like she does (being at my parents' house stresses me out big time because there's so much stuff everywhere and zero open space) - I have a small wall clock and a cross hanging up, and that's it for actual wall decorations. In reality, though, I have decorations everywhere in my room: almost all the furniture (dropleaf table, desk, night stand, and a bookcase that we searched high and low for months to find the perfect one), all the shelves, the valances, the lamps, the little black metal gas fireplace (was there when I moved in), the windows (they're huge and take up a massive amount of wall space, so there isn't even that much open wall space to begin with), even the blinds, door frames, window frames, baseboards, backsplash, and certain sections of the wall are decorative, so I actually have a very decorated room without any risk of ending up with decoration clutter - having lots of things whose only purpose is to serve as decorations isn't something that's important to me, but I do like subtly decorative practical items; the only things I keep on display are things that mean a lot to me - a beautiful stuffed horse my best friend made me, my college diploma, and only a few other things mean enough to me to actually be kept out as decorations. I tried adding another decoration once (I didn't even go so far as to hang it on the wall - I just set it on a shelf and leaned it against the wall), but I couldn't stand having anything else on the wall and within a week of putting it up I had packed it away to donate, and since then have never found myself wishing I had anything more up other than I already do.

I wish I had a bigger house and half the things I own. Clutter makes me uncomfortable, and yet, it takes a great effort for me to let go. I value everything far too much! I look at you with admiration for being at a stage where you only have what you truly need.

[@tgonzales9268]

It has been such a pleasure watching the growth that you and Ryan have accomplished since your “Everything That Remains” book signing at Changing Hands March 2014 in Tempe. Hearing your stories firsthand, has ultimately opened our minds and hearts to minimalism, and allowed us to let go of those things that don’t have purpose. We live a much more fulfilling life because of you, and so do those around us. Thank you.

[@guinnevereschronicles2225]

I love that they are teaching their daughter about giving to others. Many kids their age don't really care about their toys and they have an abundance of them, but with Ella, i can see that she truly values toys and will think of what toys she's no longer playing with and gives them to kids that never really had or appreciated one before. That's the thing i want to teach my children one day

I think this is the third time, I have come across your video and had to watch it over again. I can’t imagine living any other way. The less you have, the more you don’t want a thing, and are happy with what you have. Everything in my home, I either need or can’t live without.

I have been exploring the topic for a year and it’s time to try. Much peace and love.

This is amazing! I first learned of the minimalists a couple of years ago and have watched the Netflix documentary about four times now, haha.

I am moving, and have been downsizing. I have always felt good about downsizing / donating / recycling what no longer is needed. Still I am hanging on to too many books, too many papers related to my work, and have SO many decades of photos. I love the book tower and the very curated items this video shows. Need to find the less costly options for such artistic furniture. I have inherited some of my dad's beautiful Ingenous and African stone and wood carvings that he bought or received as gifts. While I have little in the way of furniture, it is harder than it looks to curate when there are sentimental or familial attachments.

[@sylviakastner4672]

Thanks for showing. I can feel your mindfulness and love it. My rooms are looking similiar. It makes life so much easier. I could never imagine before. But all the free space is space for connection and/or beeing myself. Greetings from Berlin. Sylvie

Josh, Thank you for the selfless"service" you have shared with your community. It is with great sentiment that I share with you how my heart feels when I see the way you and Bex interact with your daughter, Ella. My purpose for my journey with minimalism is in part because of the relationships I WANT to have with my boyfriend and his son Liam. Despite 5 years of endless love, it would seem that my life is still missing something. I believe that "something" is coming around the bend, albeit slowly, now that I have begun to curate my life with the things I truly value. You and your family, as well as Ryan, have truly changed my life. I am 30 and never felt younger or more enthusiastic about this change. Thanks for listenin' (reading?) yall. See you next time.

I have so much stuff I don't need! Don't think I could be as minimalist as your and your family are but I could surely get rid of a pile of stuff. May be this spring and summer I will work on this. Great weather brings on the getting rid and cleaning bug. Thanks for sharing your home with us!

Love this video, thank you for sharing. It’s a bit of a journey but I’ve learnt to let go of a lot of stuff in our home because of you guys. It’s so important to lead a minimalist lifestyle in today’s materialistic world.

“I am complete in an empty room.” JFM ❤️ The entire idea, foundation, and goal of minimalism. Perfect! I’m putting this quote on everything!! 😄
