I Tried Minimalism for 1 Year and Here is What I Learnt

[@herculesrockefeller8969]

Hard to believe that people would find fault with your English. As a native English speaker, I can say that you speak better English than I will ever speak Japanese! And you know two languages. Thanks for your interesting and thought provoking videos. Keep it up!

[@kingy002]

I agree, Sena is a very good speaker of English. Being a Kiwi myself I can hear the NZ accent.

[@corinna_maybe]

I can't believe some people were sassing you about your accent. Accents are the best! They tell a part of our life story. Wear it proudly 💙

[@amyvuthithao5439]

I love his accent actually, unique & strong sounds, I agree what you said it tells a part of our life story 💜

[@TH-pv3bc]

Sena pronunciation are very good indeed, his accent are strong enough as his identity and his root culture, some people haven’t rich culture backgrounds as much as asian heritage culture. Keep going Sena, we’re supporting you

[@jemandjemand2362]

yeah- dont cry

[@goliaboi]

@@amyvuthithao5439 Same, he sounds like a hot masculine stoic man uwu

[@Stogdad1]

He has a fantastic accent. Don't change a thing!

Since I was a teenager in High school I was into minimalism and how could I become one of them. I realised at 19, that minimalism for me is a way to simplify my life. And all started with my bedroom. I used to have lot of things in my bedroom: furnitures, clothes, posters on the wall and I didn’t realice that gave my more anxiety. Now I have a bed, a desk and a mirror. If I had a an stressful day in college, when I arrive in my bedroom I can relax faster. Now I’m 21 and I have to learn more and more about minimalism and keeping simplifying my life (I keep lot of clothes that I don’t usually wear). As I said before, it’s about simplicity. And it’s helping me to pay more attention: mental health, family, goals, friends, etc. I hope I could explain my opinion well and I really enjoy your videos! Thank you so much!

[@frankm.2850]

For me it started in college, reflecting on moving dorm rooms every year and what an utter pain it was to pack everything up.

[@SenaShimotsuma]

If you are a minimalist, what are the important lessons that you learnt through minimalism?? ミニマリストとして生活されたことがある方、ミニマリズムから学んだことって何ですか？？

[@smithseiji]

cheap doesn't mean saving more money. it will be better to choose the win win option, good quality with reasonable price

[@aklapka4579]

Many things in life don't matter as much as we think.

[@andreshultz8638]

The aborigines are true minimalist

[@vanessasmith9646]

Less stuff=less to manage

[@smtr5525]

必要な物といらない物の判断が、人間関係や仕事の効率などを含め、曖昧にせず自分で決めて判断出来るようになった気がする。 私生活でも、自分のテリトリーが常に把握＆管理出来てるのが気持ち良くて、何かを面倒臭いという理由で放置することがなくなったかも。

[@shirakawanaoya]

This is the type of channel I need to relax and finally make my own decisions. I don't know how to explain it but every time I see this type of videos where simplicity takes over it helps me simplify my train of thought and live more peacefully.

[@alexandrasavage5856]

One of my favorite quotes from stoicism: wealth is not defined by great possession, but by having few wants. I can’t call myself a minimalist but I strive to be an essentialist. Keeping things that have meaning to me. I definitely notice how much happier it makes me

[@mmt123mimi3]

Thanks for the quote - I'm going to put it on my Iphone as a weekly alert/reminder✌

[@reighguevarra114]

I learned something valuable through this video. Minimalism is not only about decluttering tangible things, but it is also about decluttering our minds. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

[@ken-mb5cp]

“Organize your room: Organize your mind.” -unknown

[@gene978]

I love this! I was the Same Way Sena when I was young. No such thing as Minimalism when I was growing up. Only More is better here in the states. At age 59 now I realize all the STUFF we spend money on. Including Cars that were way more then I needed. I worked 60-80 hours a week in super Hot Kitchens as my own boss with 13 employees. in 1995 with Windows 95 I was chasing each PC as the power increased then the Best Cell Phones and do again every year. Meanwhile not taking any time for myself. Forgetting the meaning of life. I did host many dinner parties that’s about it. It wasn’t until Covid-19 started that I disciplined myself to get Fit again and stop foolish spending. I m so proud of you at a young age to realize this at your age. Much Respect ✊ Subscribed and Liked Of Course. I really hope that more people your age get on board with this knowledge and become better leaders of tomorrow!

[@RobdelaCruz]

“It’s better to walk alone and be myself than to be loved and praised for what I am not.” These sound so powerful ❤️💯🙌🏻

[@scottriedel6222]

I think your English is perfect and your accent is beautiful.

[@goliaboi]

your english is FINE, as are you ;) actually love the way you speak

[@jakecaucus]

hi. your video has full of substance. such an inspiring perspective. and your English is very good.

[@marreroma5603]

I appreciate what you are doing. At your age you seem to sound mature, humble and strong-willed at the same time. Keep it up. Kudos to you.

[@ewmurphy]

True! U seem so lighthearted now, a manifestation of physical, mental and emotional decluttering! 🤗

[@cynthiairawan6748]

you have amazing aura, tone and expression when you tell this topic. keep going and inspire more people with your videos

[@brendanbang6636]

You’re spot on…. We upgrade too often. It’s consumerism at it best!

[@mmt123mimi3]

Amen Brother!

[@ccm800]

much stoicism here. Love it. Your English is wonderful by the way.

[@Lypsylpajas]

I like your style of making your videos Sena! It's a good variety of you doing things, talking and the matching clips like the chilling turtle. This was a good start for my morning and made me more interested in talking up minimalism again. Lagom hälsningar från Sverige :D

[@Beachtrader0007]

Your english is more clear and understandable than I hear from most people in my state of Texas!

[@stephencharlton2024]

oh my goodness. your English is amazing, your words have the power of simplicity. may you have joy

[@jayagoo4724]

I just realized that I am already doing a part of being a minimalist. Your videos inspires me more to simplify my life. Keep them coming, I love it! It helps me better to understand and reflect on myself and the people’s reaction around me.

[@yakirus]

Really happy that this video popped out on my KZbin Recommendation and I'm glad that I watched this. Personally I believe minimalism is not just a lifestyle but it is a philosophy itself. Subscribed and looking forward to more contents!

[@williamstamper5395]

I stopped some time back to not to judge others but go with the flow, here you make me feel that I am learning from a teacher, what you look like, how you speak, what you wear, or how you come across fascinate me,you have found a follower I hope to be accepted in your circle, my thanks to you.

[@adityanurkholik4391]

ooohh,, i love the sakura flower,, thats so pretty.. 🌸🌸🌸

[@daisymajor1415]

I just found your channel today! This has really inspired me to become more serious about living a minimalist lifestyle - I've always felt pressured by those around me for not valuing or desiring certain materialistic things, so it is refreshing to come across your video. It has shown me that you can still have an appreciation for other people and learn from their ways but that does not mean you have to replicate them in your own lifestyle to find joy :)

[@sarahsmiles6475]

I’m from Uk, is something we don’t do here is terrible, but I love Japanese way of life, I want to be minimalist, I realised we have far too much, so far I have got rid of lot of stuff, you have inspired me to do more. I will be watching you more, thank you.

[@jnmatthews]

Great video matey; there will always be negative people. I liked your video, Japan looks very picturesque.

[@Stogdad1]

The change in your face over the past year is remarkable. It's not a change -- it's a transformation. Hi from Seattle!

[@rommelgabrielteves6494]

Your 4 points made me realized that I should be living minimal as well. Thank you, Sir Sena!

[@SB_whatevers]

You are making some of the most relatable videos about minimalism that I've seen thus far. Thank you.

[@Carlos.Asurmendi]

Sometimes (sometimes!) KZbin's algorythm show me amazing and accurate videos like yours. It's really interesting and focuses on some key points. A big hug from... Spain!.

[@jamesibz]

I’m really liking your videos recently. Only just found them . Good work man

[@pretzelsfan]

you showed up in my recommended and you are beautiful inside and out!

[@taiwanlover7383]

I totally agree with your thought. All pros won’t be solved. I figured out recently but you figured already at your age !!! So great

[@petercavana5138]

Whenever I feel deeply anxious, I find solace in watching your videos and hearing your perspectives. Thank you.

[@csamuel7]

Thanks for this video and being you. Your accent is beautiful ! You’re also handsome 🙂

[@eurony1]

Awesome video, thank you for your candor and insight. PS your English ROCKS!

[@marcnagassar1071]

Hey there, am a minimalist also..... you inspire people like me and I love all your videos keep up the great work

[@ThatJenN10]

You have a wonderful channel, Sena. One thing that I’ve learned as a novice minimalist is that minimalism is different for everyone. I’m still finding my way, what works for, what feels right. and that’s ok.

[@stephendayton3687]

Sena, You are right in so many ways. Carry on.

[@safepethaven]

Excellent content and delivery. Stay strong, observant and wise in the fulfillment of your goals.

[@GioRoma3]

Wow I saw many videos about minimalist life style but for first time I understand about minimalist means not only having less things but a point of living a life style and yo me Seems very interesting thanks for your time and words to share it, I totally agree with you about how much people care about what others thinks thinks about them I’m be of them but at this very time I going trough this to let go any wasting my energy and peace to try to like everyone it’s exhausting , now by watching your video makes realize how important is yo live a life that give you peace and be true to ourselves and to let go opinions and judgment of the people keep up with your videos 👍 thank you now I became a new subscriber 👍 greeting from Buenos Aires , Argentina 🇦🇷

[@keybaej]

This video was very valuable, I been having the same thoughts lately. "What you can and cannot control," and how you demonstrated the difference when you were serious and now! That change was a big change in the expression and mannerism you have, don't apologize to everyone and no one, honestly this was an uplifting video.

[@gyunge3617]

I love your English. The way you speak is clean and clutter free. Enlish is my second language. It is not easy language to master for a lot of Koreans like myself.

[@trev4james210]

A well spoken young man. Success is measured by the love, friends, joy and happiness a man holds. Not by his bank account or possessions

[@nickblue6248]

I just found your video and love it instantly. I like your perspective of minimalism and now i'm trying to implement it in my daily life 🙂

[@austincook1012]

Your videos are great! Keep them up! You are one of my favorite KZbinrs, so don’t let any of the negativity get to you!

i dont have any idea that what i have been doing lately is minimalism til i come across ir video just now here in YT... i subscribe right away and follow u in IG... thank u for inspiring me more to keep or being a minimalist!

[@robinxjames]

I am at a point in my life where I am considering of downsizing everything and go for the minimalism route, slowly but surely. I enjoy watching your videos and I am learning a lot. Thank you very much. PS. I can listen to you speak for hours and hours. :)

[@freezemanfrost]

Loved your vid about minimalism! Do more of this! Really nice insights!

[@jinph9548]

This is A Purpose Driven Life in practice. Watching your videos made me rethink the way I am living my life right now. You made a lot of very good points here, lifestyle depends on how or what you should feel inside rather than what people see you on the outside. Also, you made a pretty good talking point, brands are very good at convincing us to try their new product, but after trying those products, how did it change you as a person. I can notice your face looks so happy, contented, and stress-free. I would suggest in your next videos, make it by chapter of your learnings of becoming a minimalist, i.e. family, friends, your external environment, how are they receptive to that lifestyle (if this is the right word to describe minimalism)?

[@eisbaer2758]

Wow, i'm impressed by your attitude and reflections of what is utterly most important on earth for life. Btw, you are handsome!

[@fraza9807]

You taught me lot of good things today . I am into minimalism for almost 5 years but I always had a feeling that may be I am wrong and why i am not like others . But today your video made me think that I am not alone. Thank you

[@fst_frdy]

I am just starting your videos and they are fascinating. I am not sure I am a minimalist, but our values seem consistent. My words are probably different, but they seem to stem from the same source and I look around me and see the features you discuss. Living simply, controlling what you can and letting go of the rest, setting values that you believe deeply are are core parts of my life. I love the language you use to frame yourself. It is compelling and beautiful. Thank you.

[@steveslivemusic]

I love watching your videos, you are a very intelligent young man, and your english is excellent. Look forward to seeing more of your future videos. Thanks for sharing.

[@993GUY]

I love Sena’s accent! It’s quite unique and I like how he enunciates. The “loser haters” are simply demonstrating their lack of intelligence, self-loathing and pointless effort to bring Sena down, in an attempt to elevate themselves with other pathetic “loser haters”. They are not worth your sincerity, integrity or a moment of your time. Ignore them and carry on Sena. 💪🏼👊🏼

Hello Sena! I bumped into your videos while studying Japan. Sure glad I did. I went back and watched many of them and I'm inspired by your insight. I've been practicing minimalism without even knowing. Reducing the clutter, ya know? I'm also a loner but never lonely and really prefer it. I'll be watching more of your videos. Really enjoy them. I think your english is great, btw.

[@stephanierachel2326]

Another great video! I agree with everything you said in this video. Being true to yourself is the biggest struggle I'm facing especially when my family are resisting/blocking my transformation. Could I please request that you do a video about family and minimalism/being yourself? Love and Blessings to you and yours!

Really needed this in this stage of my life. Thanks a lot man! Keep up the good world. :)

[@takeshikimura_]

I enjoy watching your videos. After living in foreign countries, I came back to my hometown in Nagano last year. And It has been a good time to think about my habit, passion, and life I want to enjoy. And we should not be influenced by what others say to you and be true to yourself. keep up with your great work on KZbin. Ganbatte!

[@clebermello8323]

Inspiring your video. Even though I'm already a 62 year old man, I think I'll be able to start a real trajectory in minimalism. I was always attracted by this idea but unfortunately I didn't adopt it as a lifestyle. Without a doubt my life would have been much lighter, not easy, if I had given up what is not really important to me. It's never too late for a new start. We all need new paths to dream. Thanks!
