MINIMALIST LIVING: WHY IT IS THE BEST LIFESTYLE

[@melanieboehme]

I'm in that transitioning phase right now. Leaving everything behind, letting go of things I don't need anymore... feels amazing! Off to new and unknown paths! 🙏🏻❤️

[@ConniBiesalski]

To LIBERATION!!!

[@dieJulia82]

I've been a minimalist for about 4 years now and I love it. It helps me sorting my inner chaos a lot and gives me the feeling of freedom. It is such a relieving feeling to know that I'm not attached to that many things and all the other useless stuff in my life.

[@ConniBiesalski]

totally!!!

[@josephbailey4463]

It's inspirational to hear you articulate so precisely the philosophical principles behind your lifestyle. And even though that lifestyle is not one that I choose, elements of it are. It is reaffirming to hear another person express their thoughts and reasons for living the way they do. ¡Dale que no aflojes chica!

I love your videos Conni! It is amazing to see them becoming more and more enjoyable and I like to hear you in english language as much as in german, I really don't care :) Your gestures are super authentic and I love them! The topic is super interesting for me as I've been trying for months to declutter my apartement and become better and better. As you said it is way easier to work and be creative in a tidy environment. Another challenge for me at the moment is to declutter my brain. Sometimes it is just overloaded because I tend to overthink things and imagine every possible outcome of a situation. That would be an amazing video about how to focus and lock unnecessary thoughts out of your brain. Thanks for being so inspiring!

Thanks for the wonderful feedback! I actually just recently did a video on how to clear your mind, see kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZevq6uLq5qId5Y

OMG I soo feel you when you are talking about feeling overwhelmed and being highly sensitive! I am just the same, and minimalism is a life saver for me! Of course, all other reasons apply in my case too. But that really hit a chord. Thank you for making this video, we, people, need to be reminded things to be able to stay on track! Hugs from Spain!

In the last year and a half I've been traveling, so I experienced real minimalism (all my stuff can stay in a backpack and a bag). I like it a lot and I've always been attracted to it, since I read "The 100 Thing Challenge" by Dave Bruno (plus endless articles and blog posts) years ago. It seems to me like the supreme form of freedom. But still I struggle with one thing: I am an artist, I'm into painting, metalsmithing, paper works... And these activities require tools and supplies. So in the last year and a half my artistic activity has been very limited and I miss my creativity. I don't have the money right now to pay for a co-working laboratory (and even if I had, I would have no idea where to put my creations...). I think in this case maybe it would be ideal to establish a homebase in which to have a fully-equipped laboratory. I'm staying in Barcelona for the immediate future, so I'm trying to have at least a good drawing spot, but still I don't want to loose my flexibility! It's tricky! :)

[@ConniBiesalski]

yes I also struggle with my expanding photo and video gear.. I am willing to make compromises, but sometimes I also wish I had my own studio or space to create and store my equipment :)

[@valezab]

definitely love the way you think and philosophy of life! Just watched the documentary Minimalism with my boyfriend and loved it! I feel like slowly but surely, people are discovering the benefits of not attaching to things and what does really matters! I just discovered your channel and I am so glad I did!

[@ConniBiesalski]

welcome my dear :))

[@LenoreWi]

Beautiful video! So happy I came across your channel :)

[@regularsizecourtney9831]

I love the way you explain the minimalist mindset, like being deliberate with our choices and deciding whether something adds value to our lives or not. It's so amazing that once we declutter our lives physically we make room for what's most important: our relationships, health, and spirituality. Thanks for sharing! :)

[@ConniBiesalski]

exactly, you got it spot on! thank you for watching :))

[@christined2495]

Material minimalism lead you to non material minimalism, WOW I love that , so perfectly said

[@LisaAnderssonRhodiner]

Awesome Connie!! I'm so happy you're doing videos in english!!!

[@ConniBiesalski]

thanks for stopping by my dear!! much love to you!!! xx

[@chaoscassi3156]

When I started with minimalism, I didn't even know that word. It was when I had to live in a 10m² room for about 10 months. I had to share the bathroom and the kitchen with more than 20 other people, so I had all the things I owned together in that little room. During the time I had to live there I learned a lot about myself and my real demands. I learned that real friends and a good relationship are more important than anything material. From there on I started to reduce my property and I'm so happy with that. :D This year I wanna start to travel for a longer time, maybe one or two months and after finishing my studies I wanna do a very big journey with my boyfriend. :)

[@ConniBiesalski]

how wonderful!!! keep the spirit alive!!

[@ingabertz547]

Sooo wahr! Triff(s)t mich ins Herz. Vor allem den Aspekt, von allem ganz schnell überfrachtet zu sein, kenne ich nur zu gut. Ich dachte immer, ich sei komisch ... :D Danke für diese Deine Gedanken!

[@jackieo.3748]

i find your lifestyle beyond inspiring. my german angst currently hinders me to sell ALL my belongings before i start my world trip next week. still need that fall back plan. perhaps someday i will be ready.

[@ConniBiesalski]

no need to be radical, sometimes step by step is the perfect path :) all the best for yours! xx

[@jackieo.3748]

thanks dear!

[@ultraviolet663]

I like this but also love home. I do not live in a super big lavish home btw. I am also an artist, and as you know, many artists just love making 'stuff' 😉 Wonder how this lifestyle could work for someone like me ?

[@rollmic]

Bravo! Great video! Thank you!👍

[@sandraangelkiss]

minimalist lifestyle is bae :) i love it , is so a awesome

[@surroundyourselfwithgreatp1065]

I also feel like too much stuff blocks my thinking and gets me nervous. This is why I do not get the minimalist fashion that is all about accumulating all in black, gray and white (furniture and clothes) but own like 200 pieces of shirts and stuff... for me it is not about the design but about the weight all this stuff means on one`s shoulders when it comes to moving, cleaning, travelling... CONNI YOU ROCK! PEACE OUT!

[@ConniBiesalski]

thanks!! keep the spirit alive!

[@CalmVibesVee]

I enjoyed this video. Minimalism is effecting every area of my life. Nice to meet you. : ) Peace & love, Virginia

[@ConniBiesalski]

[@saschacarpe97]

sehr schönes und informatives Video. Danke

[@ConniBiesalski]

my pleasure

[@ahmedosman95]

I love you Conni :)

[@jackieo.3748]

very nice, conni!

[@ConniBiesalski]

Are you into minimalism? Or would you like to embrace a more minimalist lifestyle? Do you have any question about this life philosophy?

[@sandraangelkiss]

is FREEDOM

[@mrinas980]

how did you deal with things from your past that reminded you of your childhood? do you only keep things that you have hobbies with? thanks!!

[@hfs7274]

M Rinas Just go digital - less clutter.

[@xyoginix7055]

...wie recht du hast!!!!....je mehr man "anhäuft", um so ärmer wird man eigentlich...man macht sich soooo abhängig und kann einfach nicht frei sein!!!...ich habe grossen respekt vor solchen menschen wie dir...im endefekt ist es eigentlich ganz einfach und würde die menschen allgemein ein wenig besser machen!!!schade, dass die meisten das genau andersrum sehen:((((...sehr zu bedauern 😒

[@ConniBiesalski]

dont focus on other people, only focus on yourself to make this world a better place :)

[@xyoginix7055]

Conni Biesalski ...ok😁...du hast ja recht💋...nice day liebe conni

[@surroundyourselfwithgreatp1065]

Really identify with these ideas! Great stuff! Thanks! PS: Hey Conni, ich supporte alles, was du machst mega, wollte nur bemerken, dass leider neulich bei deinem AirBNB Geschenk (dieser 30€-Bonus) plötzlich doch alle Unterkünfte genau um den Preis teurer waren, den dein Geschenk gerade vermindern sollte. Ich zweifle zero an deiner Aussage, dass es für uns nicht teurer wird, wenn wir etwas über dich purchasen oder so, aber schau vllt mal, dass du das klärst, weil das die Hater, die vllt. gegen dich sind, nur darin bestärken könnte, dass du egoistisch bist /Geld machen willst. Es war komisch... war halt zB 27€ die Nacht und dann neu einloggen über dein Geschenk anklicken und plötzlich dasselbe Zimmer genau so viele Euros teurer, dass es mit der Nächtezahl multipliziert dann plötzlich genau 30€ mehr waren:( Also nicht "teurer", sondern gleich, aber in dem Sinne ein "nichtiges" Geschenk:() ICH FINDE DICH SUPER! Don`t forget!

[@ConniBiesalski]

ich habs selbst mehrmals getestet - es liegt nicht an meinem Rabattbonus, sondern an AirBnB, die zu jeder Buchung noch Gebühren drauf schlagen

[@josephwilson47]

Are you able to have meaningful friendships having to travel so much?

[@ck7506]

Ich habe das Minimalism Game gespielt und dazu auf meinem Kanal auch eine Video-Serie gemacht. Das hat mir sehr geholfen, ganz viele Sachen auszusortieren und ein paar neue Erkenntnisse zu gewinnen. Ich benutze inzwischen gerne das Wort "kuratieren", also ganz bewusst nur ausgewählte Dinge in mein Leben und meine Wohnung zu holen bzw. ungenutzes sofort wegzugeben. Coole colourcoordination btw in diesem Video ;) Absicht oder Zufall?

[@mustangjulia7289]

Könntest du das Video auch noch auf deutsch machen? Oder machst du gar keine deutschen Videos mehr?

[@ConniBiesalski]

ich mache keine deutschen Videos mehr

[@anayalight842]

Hey Conni! Du sagst in dem Video "maybe it's a little bit of OCD..." - ich hab mal nachgesehen, was das ist. Auf Deutsch würde das bedeuten, du meinst eine Art Zwangsstörung/Zwangserkrankung? Also, ich verstehe dich in dem Video so, dass du eher auf eine Art Sensibilität/Sensitivität ansprichst. Also HSP z.B. ....... Hast du das vielleicht sogar damit gemeint und evtl. die Buchstaben vertauscht? Viele Grüße zu Dir! :)

[@ConniBiesalski]

+Anaya Light es war ein wenig im Spass gemeint, aber ich kenn meine Abkürzungen und OCD ist schon richtig in dem Zusammenhang ;)

[@robelinadev499]

I saw some more of your video and I see that you wear different things so I wonder if you have so things to wear because if you have then it is not minimal at all.
