    Minimalism has certainly led to many positive changes in my life.
    Not only living with less, but healthier eating of only bio food,
    unpackaged as far as is possible
    and..... One aspect that has really
    improved my thoughts is to not
    care a less about what other people think which in turn has
    led to being more carefree and
    not stressed in any way.

  • @rogeriaschmidt5794

    You inspire me sooo much Signe! I started on minimalism long time ago due to money shortage in the beginning but then since I never wanted to own a house and love moving often I normally rent apartments or share apartments with girls ( roommates) I like to keep it simple to be able to move without so much stress and not having many belongings make it easy too! I have long decided to not own cars and a house . Ppl are judgemental a lot here in Brazil though . Here there is this culture in which it is everybody’s dream #1 to own a house , to have at least 1 car , to accumulate possessions etc and ppl are too trapped in this idea of the Status quo - but we who choose to go in the other direction must learn not to listen to this brules ( bullshit rules) haha

    • @UseLess_dk
      @UseLess_dk  4 роки тому +6

      You're so kind thank you! I completely understand the struggle (I guess on some levels there are the same expectations and pressure in DK) - and bottomline is that we shouldn't decide for each other what the right things to do are, or what is minimalist and what isn't. For some, owning their own property is the right thing, for others shifting and living more free is right. We only know in our own hearts what brings us most joy!

    Less hair hassle, more easy styling. I love my new haircut. It fits with my goals for this year. Low buy, more time for creativity and healthy living. You inspired our low buy year, and so far we haven’t bought anything unless it adds to helping us be more creative or healthier. A couple of used bikes ($70 each) have allowed us to get around without a car and get exercise. I couldn’t feel better about this choice. Thank you.

    Less sitting. More walking! Take time to walk outside. This is so timely as I am realizing very much how much stuff I have. Kitchen, living room, closet. Every time I declutter It feels so freeing. I am telling myself in 2020 that I have plenty and be munful of only keeping things I LOVE. Love watching you Signe!

    Although in the beginning it was a bit painful I am more and more enjoying the process of a capsule wardrobe. (I first needed to declutter years of "saving" pieces) I have been watching the 2020 low buy challenge and am just getting myself worked up to accepting the challenge! You have educated me to be more aware of selecting Quality, classic pieces (rather than "Fast Fashion"). You have been such an inspiration. Thank you!

    @benruhland9341 4 роки тому

    Loved the sentiment here. Living with as much of a minimalist mindset as possible is definitely something I aspire to. It really is about decluttering the spaces around you but more importantly decluttering your mind. We have so many triggers around every corner in this day and age. Removing as many potential triggers in your daily life is huge. LESS IS MORE. Appreciate all those teeny tiny beautiful things in your life 😍

    Thank you Signe for your videos and your great insight! You have been an inspiration to use less and live more freely. I have downgraded my closet quite a few time since I started watching your videos. I usually don't shop a lot but I used to keep things even if I wasn't wearing them anymore. Now i'm trying to just keep pieces that I actually enjoy wearing and will be wearing for a long time to come. I have also extended this into my life and started de-cluttering my home. Thank you so much for showing me the way to a more simple and satisfying way of life!! #2020WeHavePlenty

    The Urge To Purge!
    I’m super excited to start my “Downsizing in Minutes” challenge tomorrow!
    Whatever day of the month it is you get rid of that many things in that many minutes.
    For instance tomorrow is the 15th of the month so I have 15 minutes to grab 15 things to put in a bag/pile to either throw away/take to Goodwill or sell before the end of the month.
    Right off the bat I know I have 3 socks without a match, and at least 10 pieces of junk mail in a stack to toss and 2 books to donate. I’m excited to see how many unnecessary, unused items & clutter I can purge by the end of the month...I think it adds up to 391 things (that don’t spark joy😉)out of my space by the 31st!
    Then on April 1st I will start again with one item in one minute. 🤗
    And keep going until I’m only surrounded with things I use or love and I know exactly what I own and where to find it. 🙌🏼

    @lauravalle3766 4 роки тому

    I am a professor and have a wide variety of blazers, slacks, and blouses for work. I do a capsule wardrobe, but still feel like I have too many pieces. Two questions: 1. How can I cut back on items whilst still have a highly diversified closet so I don’t look like I’m wearing the same things over and over and 2. Now that I’ve realised that I don’t love rayon/polyester, which many of my blouses are made of, how can I add more cotton to my wardrobe without high consumption? Cotton feels so much better to wear, but doesn’t seem to last long and is quite expensive from places like Everlane.
