Great video Seve :) You suggested me very good ideas and your videos are always brilliant and positive. I ve also quit most of those 50. Simplicity gives me peace and joy. There is one more thing we both ( I guess ?) quit which is consuming animal products. It helped me a lot in being more conscious and present while I purchase something. And also I don't waste time anymore waiting for long food digestions. (But that's a big bonus, first of all I am vegan for the animals)

Last year I throw away all my letters, greeting cards and also FOTOGRAFS!!! I have saved everything from the year 1970. So I had millions of them. I can remember all those people without any pictures of them. Suddenly it was very easy to throw away everything. 😊 Thanks for your videos ❤
For clothes just hang it all backwards at beginning of each season. When you use them and wash them put hanger back on right side. End of season go through those you haven’t turned back… saves a lot of time.
Minimalism is a journey. I stopped buying clothes, shoes and bags unless they are unusable. Even while travelling or vacationing, I stopped taking too much pictures esp. selfie or food pictures. If I do it, its for keepsake and will never be posted online. I store memories in my mind, replaying it over and over, giving me happiness. Everything u enumerated, I agree to most of it and its almost the same with my current lifestyle. #relatemuch
Thank you so much for sharing and validating not having to like or do so many of the nonsensical things we've been brainwashed to do through society and the dysfunctional systems we live in. It's so wonderful to know there are others who feel the same. All the best. 🙏💕
I find your videos so refreshing, and I am very happy to see so many young people like you having such a healthy and positive outlook onto their lives. Keep on going! Your 53 year old fan from France!
Good video, great topic! Here are my additions: - Quit complaining. Talking about your problems with someone and asking for an advice might help, but portraying them as a matter of your bad luck or just telling about it to 10 people wont do anything. Waste of time and emotions. - Quit eating excessive sugars. Sugar is a fuel for your brain, but dophamine is lile a drug - your brain wants more and more. I always notice how sugar deprivation affects my emotional self-control, and then it settles down after a few days of eating less sugar. Simplifies a lot of stuff (at least for me). - Quit trying to prove something to someone. You're not gonna change a person's view in an instant. Especially online lol - Quit forcing a creative output. As David Lynch said "Get a setup and just wait".
Oh, I agree. Quit complaining but even more so, avoid people who do. Even though you might have been friendly for years. It’s a pity but as “Misery loves company” and it’s just not the company it’s healthy to keep.
I love Finnish people speaking English… and your content is great, clear and handy. I’m happy to have bumped into your channel Seve! Keep going! Toivon sulle kaikkea hyvää!
I am new to this channel. I just realized you are Finnish and live in Finland! I thought you were a very pale Indian or Pakistani. Finns are attractive people. I really like your frugal and simple living tips. I especially like how you encourage us not to worry about perfection or what others think about us. And to not make lists and multi-task. Those things can be stressful and drain your energy.
I am so happy you mention the part about not needing to wake up early to be a "good person"...almost all the time when I was younger people told me that sleeping later was something "lazy" people do. My brain works different than most people, and I sleep at different hours but I always sleep the same amount of hours as most people. I sleep when I want to sleep. I think many times this is something cultural. This is a very good video. Thank you for making it 👍👍
Just found your channel today and subscribed instantly. The only multitasking thinking i cant get rid of for sure is listening to channels like yours while doing my household chores.it's therapeutic and calming. Thank you for the new ideas !
If it brings you value, well-being and calms you down, I don't think it's bad. I do it sometimes too. Of course having moments of complete silence is important but also having moments like these 😊 I mean multitasking in a way of trying to do many tasks at the same time, ultimately overwhelming your mind and body
I don’t bullet journal everything in my life, but the bullet journal style of note taking is really useful in work for quick capture of information - no fancy layouts here just the date and then notes underneath as I go through the day which I can turn into tasks as needed
Your journey towards a simplified lifestyle is truly commendable! 🌿 It's a great reminder that minimizing clutter in our lives can significantly enhance our mental clarity and overall happiness.
I just started a few months ago! Starting from zero! But I already like it😊. Also trying to learn my young children (8 and 10 years) this principle. Instead my husband and I try to invest the saved money or pay off the mortgage. Much more fulfilling. We live in the Netherlands... that helps. As it is much less a consumerism society than the US for example
There are so many different ways to journal. The bullet journal is quite involved so I hear where he's coming from. You could definitely do the tiniest amount and connect with yourself. The opportunities and benefits are endless, in my book!
There is no such thing as multi-tasking - that is why it was so hard for you. Then when we can't accompish something we are made to feel guilty. We can do one thing at a time well, anything more than that suffers. Good on you for recognising it! I enjoyed your video very much, and can relate to many of the things you've let go of.
Ohhhh, thank you so much for this and your other videos. Perfect medicine for me in this troubling time in the USA and the 🌎. Your delivery us as wonderful as your message.
Such a great list! 49 really stood out to me because I worked odd hours for so many years. Every time the subject of what time I woke up was mentioned in conversation, people would tell me how they'd "love to sleep in" as if we didn't have the same 24 hours a day. I don't get extra hours because I work earlier or later than anyone else.
"What other people think about me is none of my business" is one of my favorite quotes from dr. Dr. Dyer. #16 made me think of that. Getting older and caring less is fabulous
Gosh, I like your content, listening to your voice calmed me and your list seem to be healthy and the first one I ever experienced without feeling urged to self improve. Thank you Seve
I’m in a process of decluttering and this video came to me. Now I feel like I have a lot more things to quit hahaha love the video Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷
1000%. The point is to also keep life simple while simplifying, so make 1 change at the time otherwise you'll just overwhelm yourself trying to create a calmer life 😄
Just discovered your channel as I am going through big changes in my life. You are giving me food for thought and are inspiring ✨️ I knew you were finnish when you started talking. 😉💖
Useful video! Thank you for the tips, it’s nice to live slower and happier, removing the unnecessary distractions in life. Wishing that everyone can get to live peacefully and with joy ❤
Wow, surprised i do the vast majority of these already! That was lovely and reinforcing. I do read two books at once though 😂 one fiction and one non fiction. Could we maybe have a video (or seasonal series) on your hobbies? Don't need to teach anything just show us what you get up to. Would love to get to know you more 😊.
Ouch, 35 is pretty relatable for me, haha. Sure it's important to take care of yourself, but mostly of the time it's external validation focused. In the essence, your clothes doesn't define you, so what types of clothes you are wearing to the supermarket actually doesn't matter. Thanks for the insight, Seve!
@@heyjude5027 I would say this has a lot of truth in it, the spotlight effect is real. However, just like other animals, we many times judge others based on their looks. I think the key is to not care about it anyway because ultimately it matters more what you think of yourself 😊
I did the same with 1 and 8. I have three pocket notebooks now and that works wonders for me. I write down anything and everything. This also evolves and not every day is the same. That’s okay too. Love the video and the messages. You did a good job on keeping it simple, brief and genuine.
@@SunnyKindJourney i have one to review finances and budget. I have another to go over ideas and some notes from books. The other one is simple day to day list and task overview
50 thumbs up 👍. Congratulations figuring these things out took me way longer than I’m guessing you’ve been alive.😊 The thing I’ve given up lately is listening to angry people subscriptions. (This is a good trick in the US the last few years.) Simply live long.❤️
@@SunnyKindJourney 😝 That would be somewhat confusing. I guess we Americans tend to think the world revolves around us. Our politics have become contentious and divided to the point that friendships have been broken and families split apart on issues. UA-cam is full of angry people denouncing the other side as being enemies of the state and while I feel strongly about the issues I decided it was a waste of my time and a disruption of a simple life to listen to them any longer so I gave up these “angry people videos”.
This is my first video of yours. I found it very interesting and aspire to also let go of a lot of the things you mention. Now I will go watch a lot more of your videos :)
Bright lights, blue lights from electronics in the evening. Disturbs our circadian rhythms. I make my place progressively darker with practically nothing but a dim nightlight ( soft yellow light) in the next room by the time I go to sleep
Your list is very thoughtful and inspiring. So much in life is unnecessary. I've decided to eliminate diet colas from my life. Looking forward to your next post. Blessings to you from your friend in Chicago.
Moi! Good points, but maybe it’s good to have some dressingcode when you go out. Not in pyjamas to the supermarket. There you show you caring for the people around you. Waking up early is good for the health. Stay well! Sinikka
About memory issues, my memory started to sharpen back up again when I simplified my diet to not include grains of any kind, seed oils (also known as vegetable oils), sugars, vegetables, and fruits (except a few berries once in awhile). The change was nothing short of a miracle. It keeps getting better even after 2 years of simplifying my diet this way. I love being able to remember better now. Also, something to consider- if you take anything with Diphenhydramine HC (the active ingredient in Benadryl) or a similar drug class, it will ruin your memory and causes dementia). Best of luck to you in your journey! ❤
Seve thank you i enjoyed your list no. 23 especially is so often overlooked and tough to do ( for me at least ) but in my life it was essential so freeing my mind is SO MUCH CLEAR AND CERTAIN
I think the only thing I cant do from your list is no. 48. I live in a humid tropical country where I feel sticky if I dont shower twice a day. Sometime I manage to take shower once if the weather is cold enough.
I totally get it 😄 I live in the very-non-tropical North of Europe where most of the people take showers daily. Used to do that too but now I don't care to do so unless I sweat a lot
I am from India and in my culture - taking a shower daily and that too in the morning before saying your prayer is an absolute must if you are not sick. It is so deeply ingrained into my mind that I feel uncomfortable even thinking about not taking shower. Because I don't eat anything before I have prayed. I can't pray before taking shower...
🎯 Key points for quick navigation: 🗒️ Always trust my memory: Writing things down helps me remember and stay organized. 💰 Minimalism over materialism: Less is more; I don't need material things for approval or happiness. 📱 Tech upgrades: Grateful for what I have; avoid constantly upgrading technology. 🧹 Accepting imperfection: Simplifying includes embracing a little mess and not obsessing over a spotless home. 👗 Decluttering clothes: Regularly assess if clothes bring value; donate what's not used. 💻 Digital declutter: Clearing out unused files on devices for easier organization. ⏰ Balanced productivity: Accepting that not every day will be 100% productive; it's okay to have off days. 📚 Simplified reading: Focus on one book at a time for better comprehension and retention.

Hello! It is my first time watching your videos, I just discovered your chanel. ☺️The first thing that I noticed was your accent which I find really interesting and comfortable to listen to. May I ask you where are you from? Based on your accent, I would say Finland? 🤨
Look up Ryder Carroll's bullet journal method. It's very simple and not artistic at all, and it shouldn't take up much of your time. It's meant to be easy and quick and is the original method by the inventor or the bullet journal.
Hello Seve - please make a video of how to tell family and friends that we don’t want to do X’mas gift buying - giving or receiving. I find the whole thing such a waste of money and resources. Thanks.
Great question! The value I get from those is about self-expression. The jewellery I have, all have a story behind them. When I see or wear those, I feel certain emotions attached to them. So these are one of the few items I own, that don't have a real practical value but an emotional one. I couldn't care less about some "icy" diamond necklaces or bracelets 😄
A lot of good ones on the list. You also make a good job in presenting them more or less as a “pick and choose” list, and that you don’t portray it as if every tip is a need. Even though this list shares some tips with all the “X habits of successful people” videos I really hate (and I don’t think you can mimic) your presentation is much more laid back and guilt free and focusing on what really matters, getting yourself to enjoy your life on your own terms. Good job, from a friendly neighbour 🇸🇪.
Only just found you :-). Looks like i have a lot of catching up to do. I am on a simplifying mission myself and love inspirational content ro keep me on track so thank you for your videos :-). I would say i have given up thinking i need to conform to society :-). I am in the UK and the only connection i have to finland is the only horse i ever owned was called Aina by her first owner who was finnish :-).
@@SunnyKindJourney I am sure your future videos will be brilliant :-). I look forward to them. I had to sell Aina unfortunately due to a nasty fall injury but thankfully she didn't go far and I am friends with her new mum so she will "always" be in my life :-).
Excellent list! The only one I would differ with is the one about not caring what you look like when in public. Out of respect for all the people who have to look at you, I feel we should at least make a little effort to look presentable. Can you guess that I'm A senior citizen? 😅
What have you quit recently? 🪴
Obsessing over UA-cam analytics lol. 🙏🏼
Great video Seve :) You suggested me very good ideas and your videos are always brilliant and positive. I ve also quit most of those 50. Simplicity gives me peace and joy.

So true and well done! I love youtube as a social media too. So helpful content easily available 😊
Honestly I think I need to quit UA-cam I'm constantly on it, I naturally not addicted to other social media apart from UA-cam
I want to do
SoMe can be cool and very useful if used as a tool and not a vise :)

- being attached to outcome/results
- trying to please everyone

Love the video and the messages. You did a good job on keeping it simple, brief and genuine.
Yeah it's so important to empty the head every once in a while! Do you use just normal notebooks or something special?
@@SunnyKindJourney i have one to review finances and budget. I have another to go over ideas and some notes from books. The other one is simple day to day list and task overview
@@magaliechetrit Sounds like a great system! 🪴
33. Was me last year. Being overly social is stressful and overwhelming. I learned to say no a year ago and my head is a lot happier now.
That's great to hear! 😊
50 thumbs up 👍. Congratulations figuring these things out took me way longer than I’m guessing you’ve been alive.😊 The thing I’ve given up lately is listening to angry people subscriptions. (This is a good trick in the US the last few years.)
Simply live long.❤️
Thank you so much! 😊 What are those exactly? I've never heard of them but got curious
@@SunnyKindJourney 😝 That would be somewhat confusing. I guess we Americans tend to think the world revolves around us. Our politics have become contentious and divided to the point that friendships have been broken and families split apart on issues. UA-cam is full of angry people denouncing the other side as being enemies of the state and while I feel strongly about the issues I decided it was a waste of my time and a disruption of a simple life to listen to them any longer so I gave up these “angry people videos”.
@@yvonnejackson1696 Oh yeah I get it. Makes total sense to quit that!
What an awesome video. Thank you for the great advice!
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
I realised that some of the habits i already follow without giving much of a thought 😊 it was great video and your smile is wholesome. 🤩✨
Thanks for watching! 🌿😊
This is my first video of yours. I found it very interesting and aspire to also let go of a lot of the things you mention. Now I will go watch a lot more of your videos :)
Awesome, thank you! 🥰
This was excellent thank you so much!
Glad you enjoyed it! 🌿
Damn, we share same traits buddy... i love how relaxing you have named them
A persuasive and compelling design for living. Excellent video.
Thank you very much! 😊
Thank YOU for this
Bright lights, blue lights from electronics in the evening. Disturbs our circadian rhythms. I make my place progressively darker with practically nothing but a dim nightlight ( soft yellow light) in the next room by the time I go to sleep
i just found my comfort channel and here it is 🥹❤️ great video man !
Awesome! Thank you! 🌱
you have struck a chord with me. Thank you
Thanks for watching :)
Nr. 16 is the best. I just found you, but you will stay for longer and not be decluttered 🍀
I appreciate that 😄
I like your channel, especially the ones about the Nordic lifestyle.
Really enjoyed this . Will be happy to check out your other videos .
Awesome, thank you! 🤗
Lovely Man! Thank you 🙏
Your list is very thoughtful and inspiring. So much in life is unnecessary. I've decided to eliminate diet colas from my life. Looking forward to your next post. Blessings to you from your friend in Chicago.
Thank you so much, Steven! 🪴
❤❤❤❤❤i can relate to every point you made.
Thank you for this video
Thanks for watching! 😊
Moi! Good points, but maybe it’s good to have some dressingcode when you go out. Not in pyjamas to the supermarket. There you show you caring for the people around you. Waking up early is good for the health. Stay well! Sinikka
Thanks for the comment and stay well too!
About memory issues, my memory started to sharpen back up again when I simplified my diet to not include grains of any kind, seed oils (also known as vegetable oils), sugars, vegetables, and fruits (except a few berries once in awhile). The change was nothing short of a miracle. It keeps getting better even after 2 years of simplifying my diet this way. I love being able to remember better now. Also, something to consider- if you take anything with Diphenhydramine HC (the active ingredient in Benadryl) or a similar drug class, it will ruin your memory and causes dementia). Best of luck to you in your journey! ❤
Interesting, so no vegetables or fruits?
Wonderful advice!
Thank you for your ideas❤
Thanks for watching! :)
I relate to ALL you say!!! Only took ME almost 70 YEARS!
Better late than never! Hope you are all well 😊
thank you love your talks
New subbie. Wonderful video. Peace of mind by simplifying.
Thank you! 🪴
Seve thank you i enjoyed your list no. 23 especially is so often overlooked and tough to do ( for me at least ) but in my life it was essential so freeing my mind is SO MUCH CLEAR AND CERTAIN
loved your plants
Love them 🌱🌱
I think the only thing I cant do from your list is no. 48. I live in a humid tropical country where I feel sticky if I dont shower twice a day. Sometime I manage to take shower once if the weather is cold enough.
I totally get it 😄 I live in the very-non-tropical North of Europe where most of the people take showers daily. Used to do that too but now I don't care to do so unless I sweat a lot
I am from India and in my culture - taking a shower daily and that too in the morning before saying your prayer is an absolute must if you are not sick. It is so deeply ingrained into my mind that I feel uncomfortable even thinking about not taking shower. Because I don't eat anything before I have prayed. I can't pray before taking shower...
Love this video. Interesting, thought provoking stuff
Thank you 😊
🎯 Key points for quick navigation:
🗒️ Always trust my memory: Writing things down helps me remember and stay organized.
💰 Minimalism over materialism: Less is more; I don't need material things for approval or happiness.
📱 Tech upgrades: Grateful for what I have; avoid constantly upgrading technology.
🧹 Accepting imperfection: Simplifying includes embracing a little mess and not obsessing over a spotless home.
👗 Decluttering clothes: Regularly assess if clothes bring value; donate what's not used.
💻 Digital declutter: Clearing out unused files on devices for easier organization.
⏰ Balanced productivity: Accepting that not every day will be 100% productive; it's okay to have off days.
📚 Simplified reading: Focus on one book at a time for better comprehension and retention.

i love your videos❤much love from the Philippines Seve
Thank youuuu 😊
This is very useful. Thanks.
Removing my Veraxen Jigsaw Puzzle app was difficult for me - but I was spending too much time each day doing jigsaw puzzles.
Hi Steve, really interesting thoughts 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
proud of u in so many ways🤗🤗
All grown up and everything haha 😄 Thank you, Ramona ✨
This was like the cutest video ever!😍
Thank you 😄
Great video. Also, the saying is "one foot in, one foot out"
Thanks! Yeah, almost got it right haha 😄
i see your angelic introspection, very nice
Thank you! 😊
Hello! It is my first time watching your videos, I just discovered your chanel. ☺️The first thing that I noticed was your accent which I find really interesting and comfortable to listen to. May I ask you where are you from? Based on your accent, I would say Finland? 🤨
Yes 😇😇
Look up Ryder Carroll's bullet journal method. It's very simple and not artistic at all, and it shouldn't take up much of your time. It's meant to be easy and quick and is the original method by the inventor or the bullet journal.
Will check this out, thank you! 😊
Hello Seve - please make a video of how to tell family and friends that we don’t want to do X’mas gift buying - giving or receiving. I find the whole thing such a waste of money and resources. Thanks.
Love your video! But how does your necklace serve you?
Great question! The value I get from those is about self-expression. The jewellery I have, all have a story behind them. When I see or wear those, I feel certain emotions attached to them. So these are one of the few items I own, that don't have a real practical value but an emotional one. I couldn't care less about some "icy" diamond necklaces or bracelets 😄
A lot of good ones on the list.
You also make a good job in presenting them more or less as a “pick and choose” list, and that you don’t portray it as if every tip is a need.
Even though this list shares some tips with all the “X habits of successful people” videos I really hate (and I don’t think you can mimic) your presentation is much more laid back and guilt free and focusing on what really matters, getting yourself to enjoy your life on your own terms.
Good job, from a friendly neighbour 🇸🇪.
Tack 🤗 That was the goal as well. Not to tell you what to do but give some inspiration!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching! :)
Only just found you :-). Looks like i have a lot of catching up to do. I am on a simplifying mission myself and love inspirational content ro keep me on track so thank you for your videos :-). I would say i have given up thinking i need to conform to society :-). I am in the UK and the only connection i have to finland is the only horse i ever owned was called Aina by her first owner who was finnish :-).
So glad you found my channel and hope you'll like my future videos too 😊😊 Is Aina still with you? 🥰
@@SunnyKindJourney I am sure your future videos will be brilliant :-). I look forward to them. I had to sell Aina unfortunately due to a nasty fall injury but thankfully she didn't go far and I am friends with her new mum so she will "always" be in my life :-).
@@summersday1455 Oh no! well at least you found a way to keep her in your life still :)
Excellent list! The only one I would differ with is the one about not caring what you look like when in public. Out of respect for all the people who have to look at you, I feel we should at least make a little effort to look presentable. Can you guess that I'm A senior citizen? 😅
Such a sweet accent ... and great content as well ... thank you
Haha thank you 😄
I agree to all 49 items except the showering part😂
Thank you 🙏
Thanks for watching! 😊
#4 with a 3 year old and 3 adults children working full time and studying whewwww keeping a tidy home has been different
For sure! Just remember it can't always be tidy, and 15 years from now you might even miss all the mess your kids were doing 🌱
