I hate the phone. I’ve had a flip phone for years it’s for emergencies . The only number in it is my husbands . My sons think I’m in the dark ages lol. I don’t have a tv or a car. LYNN. LOVE YOUR CALM VOICE.
Wise words. I read once that up until the last couple of hundred years the average person only had three or four new garments in their adult life, never traveled more than one or two days walk from home, only had food that was grown locally and were lucky if their family could afford chairs.
my parents have seen me declutter a lot of stuff and noticed how much lighter I feel, and for the first time ever she has started decluttering as well. I helped her and she was glad she did as well, as she said herself that these things were only gathering dust and not being used at all, so they couldn't bring us joy ^^
Your comments on thrift shopping were spot on for me..I was addicted and had to take time to work through why..realized I was lonely sometimes and enjoyed the dopamine hit of finding new items. I'm working to change this habit.
I'm sure you can do it - thrift shopping was not my addiction but, much worse, in my younger years I was addicted to smoking. When I had ferreted out "why" in the cluttered corners of my mind, I could overcome that hobbit (🙂!). My lazy and reluctant inner Hobbit was about not taking seriously, that sometimes I was very bored by my social habits. I was reluctant to say "no" to boring gatherings and to say "yes" to what was more interesting to me, in case it would not be socially applauded by friends and family. I started with taking small knitting and crocheting projects with me where ever I went. Then these projects reminded me to actively take responsibility for better planning - when one has planned something interesting, it is much easier to say "no" to something boring. What I mean with this: dear Dorothy, do feel free to plan something a little bit more social, exciting, uplifting, or at least *different* to begin with. As always, start small, one thing can lead to another. Perhaps watch all Seves' tips to begin with. Best wishes!
Hi Seve! thank you for this video, so much value in it! Especially the part about self-care, we definitely tend to skip past it to reach our goals quicker.
7:25 😅 excessive op- shopping is definitely my down fall. I'm waiting for my van to be fixed so I can filter what I'll need for that and get rid of most other things
So the partner thing… My husband is terrible with keeping stuff that doesn’t fit or is full of holes. I’ve slowly been working on him to get rid of 2 of the bad and I’ll get you 1 new piece of clothing. 😂 so far it’s worked.
there must be a reason why you want less. This reason is things, Habits, people, clutter disturb you, so you change. Otherwise its a modern thing, or reason, to have newer ones. In 50 years past, it wasn’t. Lots of people had only what they needed and were frugal. I know that, because i lived that time and saw how change came. In Zen you focus on to lose your attraction on things, when they are there.
clutter is, what you don’t need. What you need for work, hobby, feelings and make joy to others is no clutter. Sometimes things change and you need less of that, you needed before or need others. Its a game. Don’t be appealed into things is, when they are there, but are just things.
I don’t think there’s a specific point you have to reach to call yourself a minimalist. It’s more of a mindset, and it shows up differently for everyone. Minimalism is about cutting out what doesn’t add value, whether that’s stuff, distractions, or commitments, and focusing on what truly matters. As long as you’re embracing that approach, I think you’re living a minimalist lifestyle in your own way 😊

That's very likely! And great food for thought!
Yeah that puts things really into perspective! 🫢

That's amazing, well done! :)
Being a minimalist has saved me so much time, money, and bandwidth. Join the movement and focus on yourself. Stay Uncommon!

Great that you have gotten the awareness of this and you are already working to change the habit. That's great progress, well done 🙌🌿
This is great advice for building healthy hobbits! 🙌
Thanks - your videos are so inspiring! (and I loved the ”old hobbit” part😂❤)

Yeah it's the place where my frugal mindset and minimalist mindset often have battles too haha 😂
This is great basic advice. Thank you.
Thanks for watching! 🙌

How do you pronounce your name, Seve?
It's pronounced "Seh-veh" so e as in "bet". I think I'll say it in my next video since I don't think I have ever said it myself before haha 😄
