- In this episode, I explore the definition of intentional living, part of my minimalism journey, and what gave me the idea for Break the Twitch.
I want to give a HUGE shout out to Noelia Lewis ( / noelianlewis ) for joining us in our November minimalist challenge ( • November Minimalist Ch... ) and the being awesome in general.

I have been practicing minimalism and intentional living and it's truly life changing.
I think that was a great insight on aligning your short term actions with long term goals. I was wondering why I stay so motivated to do things because i have noticed many ppl getting unmotivated when I don’t. And I think the biggest thing is I’m always thinking about my long terms goals and they guide everything I do. Even doing a crappy school assignment I know have to do well to get that degree at the end
Thank you for the effort that you put into your content. I am now subscribed and using you as motivation to push on with a project of self development that started 3 years ago. Interestingly, I have now refocused and simplified some of my goals to allow more time to enjoy the journey. The big house has been switched out for early mortgage repayment, pension payments upped and retirement at 55. I have just completed the first sweep of my home and got rid of a couple of bin liners of rubbish and I have a sizable pile to take to the charity shop. LIFE SIMPLIFIED
Great question asked in here. So obvious and we just sometimes miss it in everyday life that every single thing, even the smallest, has an impact on our lives. It is especially easy to see when you check you finances regularly!! Thanks!
I just came across your channel today and watched most of your videos. Great job! You're really inspiring and helped me push myself to do better.
Thank you Austin! That's the kind of comment that keeps me going. Let me know if you have questions or ideas.
i very recently started to make actions that help me to get my visions/dreams to reality. It was like an awakening from a deep trance and suddenly i was very conscious of my surroundings. And with that i also got to know how unhappy i was with my living situation (living in a shared flat with a friend, but at first that friend didn't want to understand my situation and how unhappy i am with her in the flat). I now took action and by the end of summer 2017, my boyfriend who lives sadly 800kms away from me (different universities) is moving in with me here! It was a long and hard way to get what i actually believe is good for me, but its so worth it.
Great video! I like the idea of even thinking on an hourly basis and looking at how "micro actions" add up.
+Alexa Weber Morales Yes~! Thank you so much.
Good choice of music, great composure in front of camera, excellent flow of thought and great value in those short 4 minutes.
Keep it up, Anthony. Love to see more of your videos coming
5K will soon be 50. Then 500 :)
Wow, thank you for the kind words and for watching. So glad you found the video to be helpful. 50k would be amazing - we'll see what happens! :)
Break the Twitch You’re at 52k. Congrats ☺️
Great video! Over the last several years I've been moving towards aligning my life with my values. It's still a work in progress, but I'm getting there!
+Tonya Stumphauzer (BudgetAndTheBeach) Tonya, it will ALWAYS be a work in progress! I think that pursuit is what life is all about. Thank you :)
Thanks for this succinct video! Great message.
This content is very well articulated. Kudos to your analogy! You made this concept of intentional living more relatable and relevant to me. ✨ Looking forward to more of your contents. I am inspired to discuss this on my channel too! 💖 More power to you. 🇵🇭😊
you are so good with your words and so honest! thank you for this video...very inspiring :)
+Moozie N. Thank you so much :)
This a very helpful way to look at shopping and spending, thank you very much.
Thank you, Lisa.
I had that same "Christmas every day" feeling from Amazon and I used to love it. After a semester I saw the stack of all the little Amazon boxes I had collapsed and stuck beneath my bed to use when I moved out of my dorm. I was shocked by the amount of boxes and that was my wake up call.
+the second sunrise it really does add up so much. Until one day... a wake up call.
I'm enjoying your channel so much. You're very inspiring. You deserves more subscribers.
Thank you for your kind words. Hopefully more will come as I do more videos :)
I am brand new to your site and this is the first exposure to your work. Wow, you hit the nail on the head with this video. I have already watched it twice. I have been struggling with figuring out how I want minimalism to exhibit itself in my life and that is really all about the vision I want for my life. Who knew that figuring out my vision would be so hard! What I do know is that I can get rid of the mindless "clicks" without looking back. Thanks so much. (now I am going to see what you have to say on developing a meaningful vision)
Thank you. Great advice
Just found the channel searching intentional living. Love the content...subbing
Hey Norman, welcome!
love how you explained this!
Thanks, Jamie!
I know this video is 5 years old, but it still resonates even today :-)
Just travel in general. I definitely need to reign in my mindless shopping and also grocery shop more wisely. I have immediate family in 4 different states and I only manage to get to one because it's only 3 hours away by car. The rest are much farther by car, and would make more sense to fly but I can never seem to come up with the money needed to travel and I need to change that badly.
I hear you! This was a big part of my motivation to change my lifestyle. I felt like I was missing out on so much. Thank you for watching, I appreciate your comment as well.
Best video on intentional living I've seen.
Muy generation calls this concept "simple living" or voluntary simplicity. I'm glad the concept is alive and well just a different name.
Given the term "intentional" I think at it's core it simply means everything you do in your life you do with intention. That is you make a conscious decision on all your actions. This however can be anything really. It could be watching TV or social app time. Instead of just looking at your social media randomly mindlessly throughout the day be intentional about those things, which usually means block time off. I think if people said in their head or out loud what they were about to do for everything, you'd find you are less likely to sit in from of a TV for 3 hours or be on social media for 3 hours because it would sound fairly bad to say to yourself "I'm going to sit on social media for 3 hours" you'd say to yoruself, what are you doing? You could really do so much more with this time.
You just made me delete my payment details to make it harder for me to click and buy as easily!
What did you do with all "the stuff" you bought? Did you sell it or just throw it away and not worry about the loss of money?
Yes
i feel that my partner does the same thing with amazon but he never sees it like you did....
It's hard to see until you've hit the point of pain with it. Hindsight is 20/20 as they say... :\
Im intentionally leaving a comment in this comment section in order to cause an effect. . . yes. . .now. . .ShAzAm !!
Intentional Living and Minimalism are one in the same imo.
I'm afraid my goals and my husband's goals don't align.
+TheAlystraStardust What are some of the things you differ on? There may be ways to merge values slowly over time.
He's very messy, not quite a hoarder but he won't clean up and he's a total pack rat. I don't want to get rid of everything, but I really want to at least sort through everything and see what we have and he just wont.
Slow and steady, perhaps try a game like minsgame (see the video on my channel). It's hard, I know this struggle, but it can change over time.
Thanks for the insights! May I suggest that you do away with the background music while you're talking? I don't think it adds anything and is distracting (to me, anyway).
Yes, I learned this. This is a very old video - I don't put music in them anymore! :)
