    ✨Hi everyone, thank you for taking the time to watch this video and share your thoughts. With this video I want to explore and share the inspiration I’ve found in minimalist practices and mindful living. I truly respect the wisdom and discipline behind these practices, and I’m always open to learning and improving new skills. If you want to know more about the book just let me know. Thank you all for creating a space that’s positive and open for meaningful conversations. Your feedback is always appreciated ❤

    I naturally wake up between 4:00-5:00 most days but aim to be in bed by 9:00. The quiet peacefulness of the morning lends itself to accomplishing many tasks. I don’t think they necessarily need to be done in a particular order. If the bed is occupied move quietly to another area and begin your day. I love this video because it reminds me to be present in the moment no matter how routine it is.

    Boggles my mind that people in your comments think you’re trying to say that the monk’s way of cleaning is the best way or the only way. I enjoyed the peaceful, satisfying sights and sounds of your video and will consider incorporating little mindful moments into my cleaning!

    When you leave no chaos behind you have nothing that you need to clean up. Put what you have grabbed and used back at its spot and et voila it’s always clean , effortlessly.

    Wow…where did you learn to make videos like that!! These are amazing….there are many “slow living” channels our there, but yours is just wow….one of the best. I read Matsumoto’s book so many times the past years….but still don’t feel like cleaning😂 lots of love from Zurich

      Thank you so much!!! It took me quite some time to learn how to shoot, edit and to tell stories through visuals. Since filming brings me so much joy I was committed to learn everything about creating videos like that and I´m still learning 😉. Matsumoto book is amazing. But tbh, I´m also a bit behind with chores especially when filming 😂. Have a lovely weekend, lots of love from Germany

      Haven't read the book, as of yet, and I'm such a procrastinator when it comes to decluttering, as my dilemma is having a lot of 'stuff'__at the same time, the concept is about actually putting the written words into actionable results. 😬😋
      Love, Light, and Home Blessings. 🙏😇💫✨🌱🌿🌻🐝🌳🌎💖🙌😺

In his book he also discusses the impact of clutter on our mental well-being, offers practical tips for achieving a Zen clean, and also advocates for the use of natural cleaning products.

      Yes, I agree. The video is very nice to watch but do live like that, one has to live like a monk. With family it is impossible and even you figured it out, everything changes again and again. Lot of people just give up or end like my (autistic) mother in law who did nothing else than reaping up things somebody else dropped everywhere. I went crazy just looking her doing it.😆
