The 9 habits we used to stay minimal this year in 2022

[@gailtester8749]

I am done buying cases of food at Costco. I am working on eating up what we have and will be clearing out the extra 'pantry' in our basement. I really stocked up when the pandemic hit and kept it stocked and now it feels like clutter. I was encouraged by this. I have also adopted a simple 'uniform' and it makes life much simpler. I thought for a long time that this idea was only for men but realized that's nonsense.

[@Sobermama927]

I am doing the same. I actually just donated hundreds of dollars of stock pile food because I couldn’t stand looking at the piles of food anymore

[@JohnnyTrulove]

Opened my pantry last week and I was shocked to see hoe much food was there...and I still eat take out or dine in like 4 times a week....I Gotta change that.

[@Patriciaking-j3q]

Gail Tester, my feelings exactly 💯. I'm back to buying enough for 2 or 3 months then start over.

I became a minimalist when I was your age and my children were young. I'm 60 now and still get overwhelmed by the physical and emotional clutter of life. Minimalism can slip away from us we don't stay vigilant. I appreciate the encouragement your channel offers. Keep up the good work. ~Alicia

I was just about to buy a Costco membership because I’ve never had one. You just talked me out of it. You’re spot on about the fact that when you have more, you waste alot more of it. Your channel is one of my favorite minimalist channels out there! Plz keep making these videos ♥️♥️♥️

[@lubi735]

😊 I REALLY liked this video! Everything you said felt very real and not rehearsed. A lot of minimalist folks’ video feels rehearsed even their voice…and its a bit ridiculous. Good job with staying and being real. 🎉

[@Patriciaking-j3q]

This video is for me. I've been downsizing my wardrobe for awile now, and it has been overwhelming. Im 62 yrs young and growing up gracefully 😂.

[@suzieq390]

Love your new house and kitchen. So beautiful. Minimalism is the best. No stress with mess hey. Good job 👍

[@lakeiam615]

This is what I want. I have kids 1,3,5 years old. I need it to be clutter free. It’s too stressful and too much for me to manage and I can admit that. Love this video.

[@kamloopscruiser874]

I’ve loved my smaller wardrobe. You’re right about Costco and bulk- I am working through a few too many paper towels from a sale when I forgot I already had a case on hand.

[@donnamalpass5202]

I love what you said when you were on about you are not afraid to get rid of stuff or give it away if you no longer need it . I hope I can get to that point one day .

[@shi.budgets]

Destimulating, that's what my home needs! Great video, motivating as always 👏

[@veesancez]

😄I relate to not wanting to be around ppl that like to do alot

[@olgabergere]

I've been waiting a lot for your new video ☀️ Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏

[@ellenhawkins128]

I never shopped at Costco. I prefer a smaller grocery store. Less wandering, and I can get to the things I need quickly.

[@stephandozzie]

I love how calming and reassuring your videos are. This background is also very sharp - less glare than the bedroom background.

[@rachelbishop1617]

Such a helpful video. Thank you 😊. I’ve been working hard to declutter for a few years now I want to work hard to slow the spending down this has been so motivating to continue the journey with both. Can’t wait for the next video 🥰

[@SweetnSassyMamaOf2]

Please post more about the debt free journey!

[@yolandacastillo6312]

Love the way you express how you feel about minimalism. I recently added “slow living” to that journey. Progress not perfection.

[@JohnnyTrulove]

thank you for this video, an affirmation I needed to listen to in my new journey.

[@cassandrawilliams3414]

Such a refreshing video and very relaxing

[@MA-cw9lt]

great video !! Can you talk about how to entertain minimally and cut off times - thanks

[@clairekirkwood8939]

You're a great mum. Great video.

[@aubreejobizzarro1208]

I stopped going to Costco because it didn’t make sense for our household. At minimum there’s two people in the house, at max three. Even if doing meal prepping a few days after shopping, the bulk in excess that gets wasted or goes bag isnt worth shopping there. 🤷‍♀️ I think it’s kind of like Netflix subscriptions; someone in the family has a membership, and everyone just asks nicely to use it when they need it.

[@heyitssammij]

Great video! If an item is no longer serving you, it’s great to not be afraid to Donate or toss it! Even things that once held value as a really important hobby etc - if it isn’t serving in the Current life phase, it can go!

[@SilviaN1]

Always love watching your videos. This time "The Five Love Languages" came to my mind. Are you familiar with that? (1. Quality Time, 2. Words of affirmation, 3. Acts of service, 4. Physical touch and 5. Recieving gifts) You probably know it already. Would love to hear your take on that :)

[@TheArmsteadFamily]

Yup, I think it’s super helpful with kids and marriage!

[@ciellevilla1507]

I believe that some people just drains our energy, no matter how much we love them, no matter how important they are to us. We can be present when we need too but we can’t pacify others to please them. Also that’s why we left our church, it’s time consuming, having so many events all the time, retreats, bible studies, I developed anxiety because I didn’t have much time for myself because I was busy taking care of other people 😢

[@TheArmsteadFamily]

👆🏽 this!

[@donnabraud7945]

Thank you for mentioning buying in bulk. I am just recently realizing that storing those items stresses me out. Our home is small and designed very well, but not necessarily designed to store large amounts of paper towels, for example.

[@angielove758]

I’m inspired by your passion to minimize to get get the most out of your life. I, too, am on this journey and I am definitely feeling less stress and more satisfied with my life choices. Keep up the good work.😀

[@mariamacdonald1007]

Thanks for sharing. This video is very encouraging. I have similar ways of thinking.

Just found your channel and I am loving it. Hope you will continue to post. Love all that you say xxxxxxx BTW, husband mentioned that he is a musician.... would love if you could incorporate someof your music into these videos.

[@TheArmsteadFamily]

[@intentionminimalismus4651]

What do you do with the Kids clothes that dont fit any more do you keep Them for the next smaller one or do you Donate or sell them in the Meanwhile?

[@TheArmsteadFamily]

With our sons yes we keep them for the next. But, we only have one daughter so we usually donate hers

[@natalieeubank4533]

I donate to my church anything extra furniture, clothes food etc

[@michelleh.723]

Hello. Thank you for the good video .

[@shadegarden7375]

We are very selective in what we do get at Costco…. So that still works for us. But we don’t have tons of extra. Just enough😃

[@DavidDavisDH]

Another thing is trendy/fast fashion make people look outdated if you wear it the following year, then makes people want to buy new clothes and then it's a constant cycle. Yeah having a small amount of clothes is best.

I' would always prefer two ten minute videos over one twenty minute video. This video is great, very interesting, but too long, 21:16 minutes! Too much. Try for shorter.
