    I’ve been a minimalist for years, and over time, I’ve discovered that my lifestyle includes some unique things that might seem unconventional to others.
    While these habits or practices very much align with my minimalist values, they might appear strange especially for non-minimalists but I think some of these can still be weird even if you are a minimalist yourself. Enjoy! 🌿

      I live in Japan, where home dishwashers are expensive and rare (mostly because of tiny kitchen spaces). I wash everything by hand, which is also a great time to listen to music or podcasts. I actually look forward to washing my dishes every day. (Is that weird?)

    I so love your honesty! I don't think anything about you is weird but rather wondrous! 🙂 I love that you can go to the store every couple of days instead of doing a big grocery haul. I appreciate your reminder that just because it's free, doesn't mean we need to bring it home!! Everything has a cost! Waiting in line forever for something free? Time is money! Thanks for sharing your honest OOPS in bringing home the free cap! ha. You're human, and you prove that minimalism is an ongoing practice! I just started two months ago and am currently doing a no-spend August with my husband. I want to build the habit of really evaluating every single item I bring into my home. I am an AVID Amazon shopper, so this will definitely be a challenging process for me. You've been incredibly helpful to me on this new journey of mine!

    I loved this video Seve! Your take on avoiding freebies really resonated with me. It's so easy to accumulate clutter just because something is free, but your insight about the hidden cost of storing these items really hit home. It’s a great reminder to be more intentional, even when it comes to “free” stuff. Thanks for sharing these unique habits and helping us all stay focused on what truly adds value to our lives!

    Hello from Montreal. We have 3 grocery stores within walking distance. We also have "store cards" that collect points when we shop. As well, weekly, items go on the "points" list. We shop every 5 to 8 days, (that's what my granny cart will hold). So, we get food on offer, and the points to go with it, and when we reach certain thresholds, we then get a lump sum off of our final grocery bill at check out. A very useful tool not to buy needless crap. We only buy what we eat on a weekly basis.
    I did a clothes sweep a few days ago, and got rid of the final push "stuff." At bedtime, I always clean my surfaces, sweep the great room/kitchen, and tidy up before I go to bed. We don't do tv here either. I don't bother with episodic tv nor Netflix. I am content with YT and a pod cast before bed. I don't have any social media, on my desktop nor my phone.
    I do the mindful slow walking to and from the store and through the park near home when I am out.
    We will soon enter the "Closet Swap" period when the summer clothes go into storage and our fall wardrobe gets hung out. My clothes choices are always suited for layering. I don't buy seasonal clothes, if they cannot be used across the year. I have my base layers, my long sleeve shirts, and pants/sweats, than can be layered over a base layer in the winter. Minus (-20c) is very cold without layered clothing for sure.

    • @SunnyKindJourney
      @SunnyKindJourney  Місяць тому +1

      Excellent, we have pretty similar habits! I am entering the closet swap period soon too. It's always so nice to see and wear those heavier clothes you couldn't during the summer! 😊

    Thank You Seve for giving me a refreshed perspective of walking for air. For example, a 5-minute stroll or 10-minute stroll. Just lingering, slow, truly stress less linger. Being American, I got fed up with obsession's with performance, most speed, most distance, most no pain no gain! Faster, Longer, nonsense. 5 minutes of quiet, relaxing, "non-expectation" moments to, as you say, to reset, rejuvenate, relax and relish the moment. 😀

    I don't think your habits are weird at all because I do the same things. My only deviation from you would be on the hat freebie. If I always wore hats and someone would give me one for free, I would take it so I wouldn't have to buy the next one.

    • @SunnyKindJourney
      @SunnyKindJourney  Місяць тому +2

      Yeah I wear those all the time too and actually both of them will be in use. I think the mistake from me was just taking something because it was free and not thinking beforehand its value to me. So kinda going against what I aim to do in my life. But every mistake or failure is always a learning opportunity 😉

    Seriously though probably the weirdest thing I do is with my garden compost pile. It requires a lot of water to make it rot down properly so I save my dishwater and pour it on my compost pile. (Anyone who lives alone and rarely entertains company doesn’t need a dishwasher IMHO).
