    My mom and dad grew up poor worked hard and had a lot of money in the bank when they died a nice house nice cars etc. after my mom died my dad was so sad and he looked around and said you work all your life to get stuff then you work to maintain your stuff and then in the end the stuff dosen't matter. THAT changed how I live my life I have no debt i only keep what i use and life is peaceful and we look for experiences. We moved to france and travel :) la vie est belle

      Beautiful story, Robin. I came to discover minimalism in a similar way - a story I hope to share at some point. but it's sad it takes experiences like that for us to realize it. Sending love ❤

      Robin Harris I still remember my father telling me how we can't take anything or anyone with us when we leave this world. we were standing in our kitchen and he pointed out numerous things including the cat, his beer cooler, material objects etc etc. may not sound like a profound moment, but it was for me. I was probably 16.
      he also gave me a small box as a gift once and said I could fit my most valued things in that box for the rest of my life. didn't realize it at the time but now I see he intended that box to be empty. material objects are just things. our experiences and memories are what counts.
      I've had a difficult relationship with materialism on and off as I've gotten older, but I think I have finally realized the kind of freedom that comes with living simply.

    I started minimizing my friends lol! no seriously, now I value relationships that give me joy, no matter how far apart from each other we are. No longer do I stress about being accepted in this new country (I just recently moved to the US a few years back. I am from the Philippines) but I cherish the ones that I had even though we are far apart. I give them time when they call, I value their messages, send them surprise cards every so often. That, brings me joy.

    In this world full of people who feel like they​'re critics, I am so glad to have found your chanel becuase you don't seem pretencious or unreal. In my journey to be a minimalistic, I hace found people who always says "you're not", "you don't know anything", or they always talk about a certain number of things or that everything has to be B&W, but you inspire people to be themselves and create their own concept about minimalism and that it is not about decorating b&w all your house but keeping and living whit all those things that make you feel happy. once again thank you so much for all your videos and tips, God bless you ❤

    • @PickUpLimes
      @PickUpLimes  7 років тому +51

      Thank you so very much for the kind words, Leidi. I'm happy you've received the message this way. It's very true and I feel that way with many things: minimalism, a vegan/plant-based diet, work, travel, hobbies - always do it in the way that feels best to you. I don't mind labelling things because it acts as a guide, but the label shouldn't serve as a rule-book. Sending plenty of love ❤

    • @nimu04
      @nimu04 7 років тому +3

      +Pick Up Limes, I watched your vegan story back when I was discovering a plant-based diet. Your peaceful authenticity gave me the freedom to transition as my own self and about two months later I am fully plant-based making beautiful discoveries along the way and simply being happy.

    This is so interesting. I have been 'minimalising' for a few years to the point where I managed to move to Egypt. I only keep what I am using and love. I can Sea the Red Sea, the sunrise and sunsets. I have become more aware of everything. I made a balcony garden - I collect shells on the beach and make things. I do work but my work is flexible and online. I never knew there were other minimalists out there! It's great! I began My whole food plant based diet today too. (And I joined your mailing list). Thanks so much for your positive encouragement!

  • @dianapina2080

    In the past I was a very organized girl and I loved to clean. I notice a great change in my behavior when I got divorce after two years of marriage, I started to accumulate things, to buy more, to collect things from the trash of others, at some point my spaces were saturated of all kinds of things. Then I saw a documentary in which they commented how traumatic and shocking experiences of losses of some kind made us take strange behaviors and one of those was the tendency to accumulate to fill emotional voids. It took me time, but now I know that Minimalism is the answer, so will clean my spaces, my mind and my heart to take control of my life again... ;)

      This is so true. You are depressed that's why you want to fill in on your emotions. In reality, if your are happy you want to do things that make you happy and use things that contribute to your happiness.

  • @kyleruempler1891
    @kyleruempler1891 7 років тому +20

    Such a great outlook on minimalism. It's really minimizing stress (or things that create stress) rather than minimizing possessions. Usually they go hand in hand, but I'm glad you explained it the way you did :)

    "You don't need to get rid of it." Thank you. A week ago I found your youtube channel, this led me to your website and Instagram. I needed a dose of inspiration and you provided it. Your content, dialogue and personality are a winning combination. So happy I'm here. I began decluttering about 5 years ago after saving things for twenty years. I haven't looked back. Living simply is empowering. Thanks for the tips!

  • @idab2605

    I'm new to your channel, but for the past few days, i totally enjoy how you look into minimalism. I follow many other minimalist UA-camrs, sadly I can't relate to most of their contents as I find them so "Extremist minimalists" but from the name of your Channel to the way you share tips, I can totally relate and literally practice it in my life. So thank you so much for being here and helping people like me take wiser steps on minimalism.

      My sentiments exactly. I've been looking around on UA-cam regarding minimalism for quite a while and couldn't find the right channel that resonates my inner peace. Until a year ago I found Jenny Mustard and fell in love with her almost immediately! Her channel is equally soothing and friendly. I followed Jenny first for quite a some time and then later on UA-cam recommended me Pick Up Lime. Now I love both of them! And I'm surprised to have found out that Pick Up Limes (I mean Sadia? Not sure how to spell her name) likes Jenny Mustard too! Both of them are definitely my spirit animals. ❤️

    Minimalism is easy.
    Just declutter, get rid of excess and keep what you need/love.
    That's it, you don't even have to label yourself a minimalist. Just clear some space and organize.

    Since i started to live by my own in a flat, i’m doing my best to live minimalistic, I won’t lie, is not easy at the beginning but i’m in the process.
    My main reason: when i was a child we used to move out a lot since we didn’t have a house, every time we had to carry so many stuff, it was exhausting and stressful, I promised myself that if i ever have the chance to have my own place, I would only take the necessary with me so i can feel free to move out easily

    Hi Sadia! Thank you so much for such a wonderful video, I've recently found your channel and I really enjoy it!
    All of your words and tips are so true! I'm a minimalist myself - I love being focused on my life and travel, not on the material things. But as you said, you don't have to be too extreme about it. Sometimes it's hard for me being "fully minimalist" ( I mean my mind sometimes whispers it to me) due to my job - I'm a fashion photographer, stylist and graphic designer. So, yes, - I have lots of things because of it: my camera & photographic equipment, make-up (sometimes I do it for the shoots), pencils and paints for drawing, basic clothing for styling models and etc. When I see all of these things, sometimes I get a little bit sad, because i want it to be more compact & take less things with me when I travel. But I realize that having all that is necessary for me, for my job, it doesn't make me less minimalist bor a bad person.
    Basically, what I'd like to say is that you've perfectly described the concept of minimalism. Thank you again and please stay such a kind and inspiring person ( I may not know you in a real life but I can see the positive energy you share). Lots of love

    • @PickUpLimes
      @PickUpLimes  7 років тому +4

      Aw, Tatiana this was such a pleasure to read. Thank you so much for everything you shared. It can be hard in today's society; we all want so much to belong to a community or belief-system that's bigger than ourselves. So when we don't follow the "rules" we feel like we've failed... and my own experience with minimalism at times as been much like yours. But there's a much-needed freedom that comes from knowing we make up our own guidelines... the labels are just there to help guide us. So wishing you all the success with your fashion photography! And many thanks for the kind words ❤ Much love ~S

I'm taking baby steps in Veganism and I'm getting myself ready to start blogging. After some extreme life changes, I'm taking my life back and whenever I run out of motivation I jump into your channel.

I know that I will never will get to that point you are but it reassures me that I can get rid of the stuff I have been accumulating over the time. Your videos make me feel secure. Saying that I can do it. And make my room nice, clean and definitely less cluttered. Thant you, Sadia.

    That’s it, that’s what inspires me in your video and your whole philosophy - it’s your journey, make your rules, don’t listen to anybody, start slow - one doesn’t frequently hears this from guru of any kind. That’s why people love listening to your advice, at least that’s what I love here the most. Thank you for that, Sadia. Somehow, it’s that what I desperately need at the moment.

    Hi Sadia.
    Just wanted to let you know how refreshing your videos are to me. I follow a bunch of people on UA-cam on a variety of themes, but you are the only one I actually give thumbs up in every video. I truly think the genuine way you speak about what you share makes these few minutes delightful to watch. Thank you for making my afternoons less poop-sandwich like. Xoxo

    May I just say that that whole thing about not trying to force things upon others because it will push them away can be applied to SOOOO many more things than just minimalism. I just wish more people would realiz it. :/

    Thanks so much.
    You're blessed

    You bring so much peace in your videos that I just found myself in minimalism. Because of you, not by any other youtuber or social media. Since I know myself, I always loved to declutter, but for my mother (who is an accumulator) I just liked to throw things away and not value the money she spent to buy it all. I grew up watching my mother buy lots of cheap things instead of an expensive thing, but good quality, and I've always been the opposite. I have always preferred to have one good bag than many bags of inferior quality. As everyone around me is not minimalistic, I thought I was different. Thanks to you I discovered the blameless side of getting rid of things and having few clothes, for example. thank you so much! I wait every minute for your videos. Lots of love xo

    Myself a minimalism.... but I come from a family (and a culture I might say) of hoarding... and I have tried hard to throw away and throw away but I always feel like it's never enough and that I still have more things than the number I can handle...... it kind of makes me sad.... I even tried konmari method I've to say that I've failed. Please help

    • @PickUpLimes
      @PickUpLimes  7 років тому +11

      I really think our words are powerful. Start to say you can and will, and it will happen. It sounds silly, and you might not even believe yourself when you say it... but eventually you will. Another thing I always mention is: do what feels best to you. Don't try to do everything at once if that makes you panic. Pick one area, maybe starting with the easiest first, and minimize there if you can. Take breaks in between so you can make sure it stays that way (decluttered), before trying to minimize another area. Hope this helps. Good luck! ❤

    I had a personal epiphany while watching this video today. I realized that two hobbies that used to bring me joy no longer give me joy. Now they only seem burdensome and obligatory. You have no idea how freeing it was. Just thinking about getting rid of my things connected to those hobbies gave me such an uplift. Thank you.

    Love your videos so much. When I started to watch you last year I desired to be more minimal, eat better and be more conscious of what I do and why I do it. But I wasn’t quite ready. I’ve been discouraged and have felt like “oh well this is who I am”. (Messy, disorganized, indulger of all things and a bad steward) but today I can say that with the help of God, my friends, and your (and a couple other people’s) videos I’m making amazing progress. I feel incredible! It took going to LA for summer vacay and only having what was in my Air bnb and what was in my carry-on to realize and I did just fine without all that junk. I survived! lol Getting ready was a breeze, I was more productive and was able to focus on making memories and being more present! That changed everything and now I’m ruthlessly decluttering before I move in 2 weeks and it’s going great! Just wanted to say thank you, hope you’re doing well! And keep the videos coming! Hugs from Delaware, USA! 💖

      sdelizabeth Pick up limes: When you approach someone you like and starts dropping limes and you try to pick them up but the limes keep slipping out of your hands and you look ridiculous. After a moment you give up, look at your crush and say "I'm really bad a pick-up limes."

      film stars have an unlimited budget so to speak to maintain their looks from all angles - surgery, fillers, nutritionists and trainers, spa treatments, etc. for a common person to achieve that is far more difficult. it can be done but common people have stressful lives with less disposable time and income. sadia is in her 30s and to maintain the body she had as a teenager is the best thing she has done for her looks and gratitude as she says in the video.

    Thank you for the inspiration :) My go-to youtuber after I started to learn about minimalism has always been Jenny Mustard, but you take it to the next level. Jenny made me want to be a minimalist, but I still felt like it was impossible with my job and in my apartment that I share with 3 other busy, stressed and messy people. You inspired me to lead by example and I realized that I need to be the change I want to see in my life, and that forcing others to live the way I want them to live is not the way to go - on the other hand I can live how I want to, no matter the circumstances. Thanks again, you're great :) :)

    God bless u !!
