PRE-MOVE DECLUTTER WITH ME | minimalist downsizing | maxed out to minimal series

Hi! I'm Becki and I'm super excited to share more about intentional living + minimalism! This week I'm taking you along as I declutter my non-toxic home in preparation for my upcoming move. Spoiler alert -- I'm downsizing! This is the first video in my new series: maxed out to minimal. I've already done an initial whole house declutter but this series will share my process as I try to minimize even more. Join me in my quest to simplify, declutter, & get rid of excess so we can live more intentionally.
Conscious flow living is intentional, simple, sustainable, nourished, & non-toxic living. I'll be posting weekly videos with tips, tricks, & behind the scenes of my conscious life.

You can donate towels and blankets to the Animal shelters.

[@kwebb4826]

🙊 Hi, I didn't know that you could donate towels, and blankets to the animal shelters. I just thought when you donate towels, sheets, blankets, and ect to them that they had to be new ones. I didn't know that they take used ones. So, thank you for letting me know that, because I was going through my linen closet and about to get rid of the ones that have holes in them or the ones I had for some time now, that I don't uses. Thank you again for letting me know that, I appreciate that.

As a fellow minimalist, looooove to see when someone who already doesn't have much clutter STILL go through the process of decluttering!!!!!! It's amazing how we always still find something. And the best part is the stuff that you get rid of keeps getting nicer and nicer, minimalists don't donate ugly stuff!!!!! It becomes a win for everybody! As you become more mindful of quality, your objects are very carefully selected and even if you make mistakes, they are great for someone else.

[@RN-ti5oc]

I like your video. You are authentic and sweet. So many people on these types of videos are over the top and that’s frustrating because we’re all people, let’s talk like real people and not “entertainers”. I subscribed because you’re easy to listen to. Thanks!!

[@starrysloth8018]

aspiring minimalist here🙋‍♀️ and i started decluttering two years ago.. recently i got even tougher with my stuff due to home renovation works and packed everything into boxes, and this really helped me to see what im truly using n taking outta the boxes after i moved back in! enjoyed your video and your voice is so soothing n relaxing!

[@consciousflowliving]

Hi! Thank you so much for being here :) I lived through two home renos a few years ago due to a remodel & then mold, it was so tough so I hope you are holding up okay! But omg yes, post reno would be a perfect time to declutter & start with a fresh space! Can't wait to hear how your minimalist journey goes

[@simmiedavissimmiesings8185]

Im a maximalist who loves neatness. I think watching you is inspiring. I cleaned out some chemical, steel items I couldn't recognize, and your voice is so relaxing. I have realized that looking at clutter constantly, stresses me out in every way. So consider me a work in progress. And a brand new subbie! I just started my journey in February.

[@rileyrussell2460]

I love seeing the pile when you're done. It's amazing how clutter hides.

[@kaylag9579]

I am a maximalist but I have to have a place for everything and it has to be organized. If I don’t love it I get rid of it and I declutter often. My house usually still looks pretty neat just has stuff and certain things I collect. New subscriber here. Really enjoyed your video.

I’m so glad you’ve found a system that works for you! I appreciate you being here ☺️💚

[@PookieK]

Just found your channel- aspiring to pair down and make a simpler life. I down sized a year ago from a 5 bed/3.5 bath to a small cottage due to becoming disabled. I NEED HELP!! My living room is my storage unit right now and I am living in the kitchen and master bedroom while I slowly try to go through the boxes stacked in my main living area. I’m so overwhelmed!! 53 years of accumulating- clothing is my biggest challenge

[@simmiedavissimmiesings8185]

Be kind to yourself. Take your time. I'm disabled and downsized, too. It has been ten years in the new space. Now I'm ready for a ranch. So decluttering again! It's getting better. I am able to dress quickly and cook faster. Keep going. It's worth it.. you're worth it.

[@sueallen558]

I’m so glad your channel came up in my feed. I really appreciated listening to your thought process as you went through your items instead of just fast forwarding. Great job and incredibly motivating!

[@JFlower7]

We have a grand piano and a library of a few thousand books. Every home we have purchased has been to fit the piano and the books. I admire your ability to downsize so much.

[@consciousflowliving]

What beautiful things to build a home around tho! 💚 You can still declutter other areas of the home. 🤗

[@sct4040]

Do you play the piano? If you do then it’s okay to enjoy it. Same for the books, if you read them then okay.

[@alicenoele9530]

After years of hoarding and lack of object permanence caused by ADHD, I have had many rounds of decluttering over the past few years. We have nearly decluttered to the point where Id be comfortable saying Im a minimalist but I always feel I dont have few enough things to call myself a minimalist, its like imposter syndrome. I have wanted to be more minimal since highschool and now at age 21 I am extremely close to achieving my goal. I feel so much lighter and cleaning has to be done less often and theres just less things to clean up. It feels really freaking good considering I used to literally have a closet stuffed full of things and into all my storage units. Now I have to work on my impulse buying/ buying things I never end up using. Thank you for the video!

[@rachelgracie9044]

Nice job. Decluttering before a move is my favorite!

[@Tennislover24]

Came here because I am moving in two weeks and I AM SCARED! My current place has so much closet space when I moved in, and somehow I ended up filling it over the past two years??? I feel like i neverendingly expand, this was helpful!

Recently, I decluttered the thick shams covers on my bed pillows. Pillowcases take less room in the washer, require less heat to dry, and less room in the closet.

[@lakeandlark]

Looking forward to more videos from you! I am so interesting in living a more minimalist lifestyle and your video was very motivating to work on decluttering.

[@consciousflowliving]

Hi!! Thank you so much for subscribing!! Omg the open uncluttered spaces feel SO good. I literally just walk around my home asking myself how I can get rid of more things because the clean open feeling is addicting lol.

[@brendaramsbottom8693]

Eight months ago we had a toilet leak and so through insurance and we have really good insurance apparently so we are now living in the middle of a non-scheduled renovation. They’re taking out all of the linoleum in the house that matches the bathroom and that is a lot because it’s in the kitchen living room dining room Front hall downstairs to the basement and so when we decided to put in the new luxury vinyl, we decided to put it throughout our whole entire house so now we are just living through that. My husband and three dogs have been down in Texas for the winter and they’re on their way home and they’re coming home to a house that looks like it took a direct hit by a bomb.. I had this big fantasy in my mind that these workers would have all this work done before he came home and it’s a disaster but it’s like some kind of therapy by having all of my stuff in boxes in my living room and I have to look at it every day so I know I have lots of stuff.

[@julieknull2241]

Yes my son and I use a small cloth basket as laundry basket and I feel it works so much better than a big basket

[@fromhumblebeginnings7798]

I am trying to minimize, for a couple of years now. We downsized so many of the large things are gone. I would love to see decluttering - the supplements and the medicine cabinet are my nemeses. I just found you and I am going to stick around!

Moving home in a couple of days - Listening to you while I pack 👊 I am downsizing and I am overwhelmed by just how much stuff I have 🤯😱My new home has only three cupboards! So challenging! Why have I got eight tubes of toothpaste in the cupboard? Glad I found you! ❤

[@LondonBridge99]

How did the move go? I move in two weeks and I’m doing the same thing rn. I have ADHD and sometimes forget what I already own and end up buying more anyway. So I have an excess of way too many things 😅

[@sct4040]

The 8 toothpastes made me smile. I too, have a tendency to stockpile. Right now I have 4 tubes, 2 tubes are mine and 2 are my husband’s. I have decided recently to only have enough for 1 month at a time.

Good content. Hard to listen to though. You speak rather softly, but then your music comes in too loud so that I have to be constantly turning the volume up & down. Sometimes I miss a Iittle of what you say in trying to avoid the loud music, which is actually rather nice except for the volume. Look forward to hearing your next episode. 🙂

[@consciousflowliving]

Sorry about that. This was only my second video I’ve ever edited and I had no idea what I was doing before this. But I will get better with time like with learning any new skill 😄

You did such an amazing job! I totally understand the supplements, my cabinet gets like that too lol 😂 do you have a link for the supplements you give your kids? I’ve been looking for some good ones.

[@consciousflowliving]

Aw thank you so much! The supplements are cray cray. I didn’t even show them all because this video was too long. 😂 I’ve cut down quite a bit but still have more to declutter. I have a few of my kiddos supplements linked in my Amazon store under the “kiddo” section! I think I linked 3 supps there and I use a bunch of the products from those 3 brands like the ones I mentioned quickly in this video. The immune one works amazingly and all the tummy & sleep ones!! Let me know what you think if you give them a try! 💚

Just found your channel. Following 😊

[@Amanda-yd2ey]

You lightly touched on the reason you are moving to a smaller house. I’m a natural minimalist person and love negative space in my house and hate giving my money away for small trendy junk. I have toyed with the idea of a smaller home but in Canada our housing market is unbalanced and a smaller house can be as expensive as the big one I own already. So even if I wanted to consciously have a smaller footprint on this earth with energy and cleaning expenses it wouldn’t financially make sense 🤷🏻‍♀️. Ridiculous. I’s your move to save money on mortgage or to live closer to something ?

[@alyssastorey3844]

I want to declutter but know I couldn't live with my house looking as empty as yours is getting. Guess I need to work on my mind set more.

[@rebeccarendle3706]

If you declutter all your glasses, plates, bowls, mugs so much, what do you do when you have guests?.. please don't say you buy/use throw away 1-use plastic stuff that ends up in landfill... because that makes no financial sense and is really bad for the environment now and for our kids in the future.

[@consciousflowliving]

I still have a set of 8 plates, cups, bowls, etc. I never have more people over than that. If I did once per year for example, I would borrow from family for that one day. I care too much about the planet to continually buy and throw away plastic goods. 💚🌎 What works for me might not work for you! I’ve seen other minimalists who have far more plates and bowls than me for that very reason.

[@rebeccarendle3706]

@@consciousflowliving thats super👌. You are the first American you tuber I have watched, that is decluttering and minimalizing, that does that.. most say they will "buy disposable party table ware." .. which honestly makes my blood boil 😭. I have a 12 set.. but often use up to 80% of it all just with me and my two sons because i only put the dishwasher on when it is full...and as I bulk and batch cook, sometimes it takes 2 days until i put it on. But my 12 set doesn't stress me because everything has its own shelf in the cupboards ie plates on one shelf, bowls on another etc. Decluttering and living more minimal is a personal thing ie. Everyone has a different "stuff stress threshold" and it is the "normal way of life" in Europe. We cannot buy "everything" on credit here.. so its not such a consumer system. Have you watched the you tube videos "A Cluttered Life: Middle Class Abundance".. based on a book and study by the University of California..its really interesting and shocking!

How so? I don’t think so, not if it’s a product you need/use/love. And I’m not part of an MLM. I work in high ticket affiliate marketing, but I personally don’t get why people are always hating on MLM’s - it’s just a business structure. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@helen6365]

@@consciousflowliving there are a lot of people on KZbin who break down the MLM structure better then I could. @HannahAlonzo being one of the best imo. When someone joins an MLM everyone becomes a money making possibility… every friend, family member, and stranger. Your paycheck is mainly based upon how many people you recruit and stay on in the company rather than the products sold to “regular customers”. This is why so many people compare them to pyramid schemes, take out the product in any MLM and it looks very much like a pyramid scheme. Also when people start making money and moving up in the ranks some are told to make your lifestyle look more lavish as to attract more people into joining underneath requirement wise. It’s also sad to see those in MLMs being taught to push people into making bigger purchases or lock them into auto ship that you have to pay to get out of. Suggestions to take out a credit card are common. All of this just to maybe make some money. I can keep going but this would be too long a comment haha. Minimalism is meant to help us live simple lives… use our time with intention, spend money with intention, and bring products into our life with intention.
