I'm always so happy when I see the notification of your latest video. I've learned so much from you. Be well.
Happy to hear that!
I didn't know I had morphed into a Swedish woman! I am you, except for being a morning person. I love your simple and clean aesthetic which I am (painstakingly) slowly working towards. I will get back to that morning walk which really puts your mind into a wonderful place for the day. I am in Australia and we are currently in a 2-week lockdown so I need to get moving. I used to keep receipts for everything but over the last 2 years I've stopped taking the receipt or opt for online receipts to minimise that clutter. I recently went thru all my old tax files and shredded everything older than 5 years from date of lodgement which is the time we have to keep them here in Oz. I've begun scanning older receipts for stuff I still have, and finding online manuals or just keeping the English part if I can't find it online, all of which is thinning out my filing cabinet quite nicely. It's a work in progress.
Thank you for that wonderful video.
Watching your videos is always so soothing and comforting. I'm not kidding when I tell you that they have really helped my mental and emotional health. Like so many others here, I am inspired by your work. Last summer, during the height of the pandemic, I was motivated by the 30-day declutter challenge you did, and was able to let go of more than 500 items with a light heart. I am getting ready to move to a new apartment and continuing to declutter. Sometimes when I've debated keeping something, I ask myself, "What would Benita do?" 🙂 I don't think I will ever be a minimalist completely, but paring down to just the possessions that I love has been truly freeing. Thank you for all that you do and please keep up the good work! ❤️ Love from Seattle, WA!
I’m so happy you’ve found my videos useful!
I couldn't wait for you to post another video. Not only that I learn new things, but I also play your videos in the morning as they calm me down. Thank you!
Aww, thank you so much!
Or they just plain start annoying me…it happens. Just love you Benita. So sweet and frank at the same time.
"...or, they start annoying me. It happens". That made me smile. I do the same thing 😀
Same🙋♀️
Oh yeah, some accounts just rub you the wrong way after a while, don’t they?
Not comfortable with “filtered” news feeds (Brew) because key facts are often lost/omitted. However, I 100% agree that data/information processing can add to clutter (or stress) and take away valuable time. This issue had so many layers. Thank you for this wonderful video!
Thank you so much for watching!
Beautiful scenery.❤️
It really is! Glad you enjoyed!
I also cut up appliance manuals and just keep the language I speak. Most of the time I never refer to them again anyway but either way there’s no need to keep a stack of instructions in Spanish or Japanese. Highlighting the useful bits makes sense if you will refer to them. Your morning walk looks beautiful and a great way to start the day.
Keeping only the relevant pages makes such a big difference, doesn’t it!
There is no need unless you are spanish o japanese🤷
Benita, I admire the way you live your life so authentically. Best wishes!
This is my first time watch your video. I am happy to find someone who lives her life exactly the same way that I have been living for almost all my life. I am happy I have found you.
🇬🇧 I love how you live your life it’s so organised and simple, hence a simple life! X
Thank you, that’s the idea!😊
It's calming just to watch you being organised. I do love that you blinged out your stapler even within your pale grey palette 🤓
Thank you so much for your videos. When I feel depressed, like today, they always cheer me up, inspire and motivate me. Such a valuable content. Lots of love, Lisa
I’m so glad you find them uplifting!
Loved watching it. The best part is the ducks and ur swing. Missed ur supervisor 🥰
My supervisors had the day off 🐯🦁
I adore your channel. Thank you for inspiring us to live a simpler easier and happier life
I find myself looking forward to your next post a couple of days before you actually post. When I first discovered your channel I binged your videos and felt incredibly sad after I had seen all of them. Thank you for creating wonderful videoes!
Me too 🤗
That’s the sweetest, thank you!
I save all my manuals but never thought of only saving the portion in my preferred language. Thank you for this brilliant tip!
I like the non native languages to practice...
May you continue to be Blessed! Thanks for the inspiration.
I just recently did a digital declutter and went through who I'm following on instagram, and unfollowed/muted anyone who wasn't bringing me joy. It felt great!
Such a good spring cleaning!
I listen to your videos during work, and at night. Your voice is so pleasing and soothing. Just the right pace and clarity. Your videos are simple, and offer practical and good tips. I am always on the search for content that provides more tips than i already know. And its always good to see fresh ideas and habits from your channel. Keep going!!
Wow, thank you!
I enjoy listening to your soothing voice. Your videos are beautiful and relaxing. I’m from the Philippines and I’m thankful for coming across your channel 🌈🌻
Organised belongings are so soothing. And I love the bling on your stapler!
That ride on the swing looked wonderful!❤️
So fun to swing!🙌🏻
I am a 15 years follower ( from the blogs years)and I still enjoy every time I watch you! Be well! Kisses from Greece
Oh wow! Thank you! Not quite 15 but in a couple of years!🙌🏻
@@BenitaLarsson yes you are right! Not 15 but its been so long i lost time!!!!
Hello from USA! I’m new to your channel and am enjoying catching up on your videos. I am also a morning person and walk almost daily. Such a great way to clear your mind and start your day. I’m very interested in a simpler life and appreciate your ideas and suggestions. Will be watching from Ohio! Wishing you good health in the days ahead.
I always liked living simply, now I know what it is called “Minimalist” 😌☀️ blessings from USA, New York State 🙋🏻♀️😌☀️
I do not rely on the Internet or banks to keep my financial information safe. As a former banker, I am "old school"
and will never ever do banking online. I know precisely what my bank and investment balances are and have paper to back it up. My money, my responsibility.
Anything less is naive.
Agree 100 percent on paper catalogues and donations and removing that "clutter" from my life.
Your information is at risk, as you know, whether you bank online or not. It’s the hackers getting into the banks’, and other business data that puts us all at the greatest risk.
Thank you! I love the organization, and discipline to avoid collecting so much "stuff"!
Hello Benita, I find your content so soothing. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Greetings from Florida. 🌺♥️
I love your style! You inspire me to remember how beautiful simplicity is.
What a great idea, one place for all of the necessary news. I don’t watch the news either, it’s overstimulating and I live in the U.S. How are you feeling these days? I hope that you are well. Always happy to see your videos. My husband even enjoys watching them with me. He mentioned the impressive recycling efforts there.
I’m well thank you!
Stockholm is so beautiful . If I had that beautiful scenery to look at everyday I would walk outside too. Stockholm is now definitely on my travel bucket list :)
Stockholm is well worth a visit!
So good to see your channel Benita - you are such an inspiration xx
Aww, you're so sweet, thank you!
Aww, loved the clip of the baby water fowl paddling between the two adults.
They're so adorable, I keep counting them on my walks to make sure they're all still there ☺
@@BenitaLarsson I would, too! Mother Nature isn't always nice, but nature is a miracle!
The swans and babies were AMAZING! Thank you 🙏🏻
I love looking out for them, counting to make sure they’re all still there 😊
Minimalism is very inspiring and calming . I love your content
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoy it!
The joy of cultivating minimalist habits 🌻
I've been swinging for 67 years. It is fun, clears the mind, and makes me smile.
Isn’t it the best!?
@@BenitaLarsson Always!
Loved this, Benita! Same here on all points 😊 but the first one: my first order of business in the morning is (aside from feeding my dog) making myself a big cup of coffee! And breakfast--I start looking forward to it the night before! ☕️🥐💕
I enjoy a nice cup of coffee too in the morning!
just watching your viideos is making me calm 😊Thanks for making them
Thanks Benita, from Ireland we 💕 you
This is my first time watching your video. I love the way you kept it simple and to the point. I'll be watching more.
Love your content! I’ve been following for years…since the days when you were married!! A loooong time ago! I like seeing how much you’ve changed/grown as a person and in terms of your design/aesthetic. 😊❤️
Wow, thanks for following along for that long!
Hi Benita,
your video is very nice and simple. Walking is very good for greeting and every person should do it. Your videos are always inspirational and every person should follow your advice. Thank you so much for your effort. With love from Italy.
You’re so sweet, thank you!
What a lovely place to walk.
Nice video. I loved the shots of the swans and coots and their cute babies. ❤️
So adorable aren’t they?
Hurrah..... a new video from Benita Larsson !
Always a pleasure, thank you !
Aww, so sweet, thank you!
I enjoy your videos. Watching while I wait for my COVID vaccine !! I love the physical experience of reading a newspaper and donate all to our local cat shelter. I also like receiving birthday cards and postcards - nothing can replace those for me. In Australia we must also retain tax papers for 7 years and property sales documents.
Yay for vaccine! I’m getting my second dose on the 16th and I’m so excited!🙌🏻
Adore listening to you and watching your videos 💜
Thank you so much!
😂..’just plain start annoying me’...same😉
Thank you Benita! Hope you are doing great!
Yeah, why do we keep following accounts that no longer add value?
You’ve made my day- as always:). Your videos are so beautifully shot and your voice is so calming. Thank you.
Aww, you’re so sweet, thank you!
It's great to see you! I hope you are feeling well.
It's such a joy to watch your videos, Benita!
I’m so happy to hear that!😊
Its so guty for an influncer to be so honest and straight to point . Love watching your videos . From filming to voice to visuals … Damn
My thoughts on a minimalist approach is as little technology as possible!
Thanks for another great video. Preparing my taxes during quarantine made me realize I could reduce my physical files. I used to print bills, file them monthly, and bring it to my accountant. But with COVID, I had to find a workaround, and discovered I could record information from online records into an excel spreadsheet and email it, saving a lot of printing. I'll keep doing that for future years.
That at least is a positive outcome from the pandemic!🙌🏻
Thanks for sharing your organizing and minimalism tips. It's very helpful!
I wasn't aware you had an Instagram. I just subscribed to it. I always find your videos to be inspiring and relaxing. Hugs from Northern California!!! BTW You said your video about how to take care of your shoes was not very popular. I really liked it and got very good tips from it! Thank you for taking the time to make it 😃👞👟🥾🥿👠
Glad you enjoyed that video! And yes, I started Instagram when I stopped blogging at the end of the year in 2013.
The baby swans! Seeing them in the morning would set me up nicely for the day. I cycle to work everyday and love seeing all the birds and trees and sometimes the blue sky. I feel the same as you about carrying cash. I never have it and never need it. Cash, especially coins, can add a lot of weight to your bag that I don't want to be lugging about.
I used to ride a bike a lot, such a sense of freedom!
Just submitted my subscription to Morning Brew, happy to give it a try!
I like just the news, not everyone's opinion.
Living simple and what l call cleanly is joy and pleasure to live😊🍁
I think you’ll like it!
Such a nice reminder video of how minimalism can be used in so many areas of life.
Yes, it’s not at all just about physical stuff!
Lovely as always, Benita. We have such an abundance of waterfowl this year and I delight in seeing the babies explore the world. I am far more accomplished in lifestyle minimalism than physical minimalism and I can attest to the mental health benefits of tuning out, especially during this tumultuous time in the world. I will give Morning Brew a try for my 'ignorance prevention' quick-read of the morning, though!
Ignorance prevention…. Lol. I can relate to that. I can’t stand the news but feel like one can’t be completely clueless. I too signed up for morningbrew.
You’ll love the way the present it!
Thank you for your beautiful and interesting videos. Regards from Spain
As always such a pleasure to watch your videos. I really like that you do not post multiple times a week as content tends to become redundant very quickly as with some channels I no longer subscribe. Also, I identify with you as we are in the same "season" of life and that brings me joy :) Lastly, I always learn something here in this community you created. Thanks again, Benita for being here!
Thank you, I’m so happy you enjoy my videos!😊
Benita has the most inspirational and common sense videos. Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much!😊
So many and good tips in this video. Thank you, Benita!
Thank you so much!
Benita, thank you for this insightful video! I would be interested in other ways you make your life minimal and straightforward. I’m signing up for Morning Brew right now! Xoxo
I love the adult size swings!! (and am a fan of all the videos you post here)
Loved the swing at the end. How cool !!!!!!
I love that swing! I don’t go on it every time but when I do it’s like being a kid again!
A great bunch of tips Benita. I can't believe how much of a weight it lifted for me personally when I switched from paper to digital bills. So much time saved!
Isn’t the amount of papers we used to accumulate crazy?
@@BenitaLarsson It is indeed!
I feel better about being annoyed by people I follow on social media, lol. There are a few and I ask myself why I don't unsubscribe. It will feel good to do so.
You’ll feel so much better!
Thank you this was very helpful and calming.
I like the way you speak, I guess you're also a minmal with words, I mean you know how to deliver what you want easily.
And I like how you are straightforward about what you wanna say.
I hope I made myself clear.
Wish you the best,
Greetings from Syria
🧡
Aww, thank you so much!
Nice to see such a straightforward and refreshing video! I want to get the morning walk habit - recovering from injury at present but will build a walk into my recovery plan.
I so enjoy video post day on your channel. I’m always inspired…even when it’s about shoes 😉Thanks so much!
😅 Thanks so much for watching!
That tip about social media is such a good one. Follow a person on ONE social media platform, the one you enjoy the most. My preferred one is Instagram but I love following your YT channel and I like that on either platform you don't post so much that it's hard to keep up. The minimalism on that front too is much appreciated.😊
I love seeing how organize your paper documents! Am subscribing 🥰 love from Malaysia!
Thank you so much for subscribing!
Greetings from Canada...and that is why I follow you.... : ) Thank you for this lovely video!
Gracias
I love minimalist
Great video as ever. There's something quite invigorating and exciting about being on a swing as an adult
That swing is the best!
I love your attitude!
I just found your channel and I like it very much. I will gladly take up a few suggestions, because in the last few months I have become quite careless in many things. Warm greetings from Germany.
Great content Benita. As a minimalist I’m trying to cut out using paper in my home based working role and it’s challenging.
Glad you enjoyed it! It IS tricky, best of luck!
Love exploring a new city through your videos! Thank you for sharing your habits and I agree with all of them!!
Thank you so much for watching!
I love all your tips 😍 Simple and efficient
Glad you enjoyed them!
Thanks Benita for another relaxing, enjoyable and informative well-filmed video. You do a great job and it's exciting to see you're nearly at 100 000 subscribers :-)
thank you - companies in Germany need to keep documents, receipts for 10 years, I also try to have most in a cloud - have a nice day Sabine from Germany.
Thank you Benita for the video, always look forward to it.
I’m so happy to hear that!
I love walking too 💕 Yesterday I did 10 km. I don't drive, so all my shopping is done on foot.
Mine too! Gotta do it in daily chunks 🤓
Almost to 100k ✌️🙌👑🎉. I can't wait to get off work so I can take my Dobie and go find some nature adventures we have not seen before
I know, so close!
You have inspired me to start decluttering my paperwork. Wish me luck!
Best of luck to you!
Good ideas and reminders. Thank you for morning brew recommendation. I signed up through the link in your description. I too limit the news and social media I digest. It has helped soooo much with mental health. Ohhh and I used to listen to ‘how I built this’ bit somehow it fell off my radar. I’ll pick that back up as I always loved the stories and inspiration of entrepreneurs big and small.
I agree with you on HIBT so I do skip some of them but some episodes are so great and inspiring!
Depending too much on the Internet and electronic devices may not be a good idea. And it's the best way to be tracked. Using cash is much better.
Completely agree with you on that!
@@once_upon_a_time__ thanks. YEs, we need real freedom, non the illusion of freedom all those apps offer. The least noticed we are, the better.
@@mariondapsance7803 indeed, we should care more about our privacy and autonomy as humans, which in today’s time is quickly becoming a rarity!
@@once_upon_a_time__ Exactly...
Once again, I loved this. Thanks Benita. Hope you are keeping well. I have signed up for Morning Brew as well, I'll let you know what it's like down here in Australia.
So glad you enjoyed it!
I am not a morning person, but I really need to embrace the morning walk as the first order of the day. Like you, if I put it off, it won't happen.
As soon as I start doing something before my intended walk it’s not happening that day so 🏃🏼♀️
You have inspired me to start walking as soon as I wake up. I tend to put it off and half the time never get to it.
Exactly! Just to it straight away!
Loved this - super practical! I'd be interested to see a further 5 areas where you apply minimalism to your life, as your tips are so helpful for simplifying things. Thank you!!
Thank you! I’ll make note of that! What areas would interest you!
@@BenitaLarsson Hey- thanks for responding!
I guess if this was the start of your top 10 areas, you hadn’t already mentioned where you apply minimalistic thinking to your life, then what would 6-10 be??
Tack!
