      ❓ (my Affirmation below)Do you have Seasonal Shifts for your Daily and Nightly Routines ❓ Spring & Summer bring the need for some tweaks to mine. As weather heats up I need to get out in the garden earlier and earlier. Do I exercise, garden, and then do my Routines and Weekly Upkeep? Or vice versa? It something I'm musing on right now.
      Affirmation: My home is cozy and calm. This is important for my mental wellbeing. I grew up in a dysfunctional house full of clutter and chaos. I find great comfort in the structure of routines. My home is truly a place I love to be.

      Minimalism to me means making and maintaining room to think and live. If there’s too much clutter my mind is cluttered!

      I’m not a minimalist. I don’t really want to be. However I do want a house that is organized and functional for my husband and I. What works for us might not work for others and that’s okay. But it does need to be functional for us. That’s my goal.

    Thank you, Diane! To me, minimalism means feeling a lightness when I walk into my home, not a heaviness. I think this is very much linked to decluttering on a regular basis. I decluttered a dining room cabinet drawer today, and instantly felt lighter. Cozy but uncluttered works best for me!

    Whew, this one struck a chord! The first thought that popped into my mind was, "My home is not a collection of guilt." I've been feeling under the weather the last couple of weeks, and my routines have slipped. It's hard for me to jump back into things without harsh self-judgement, but guilt-tripping myself doesn't help long-term progress, in my experience. Instead, I want to see my home as a place that cares for me and supports my well-being. Time to help my home support me by jumping back into my routines and doing a short declutter session.

    So many of your affirmations resonated, but getting there feels so distant to me. In this current season of life I am a carer for my older disabled husband. Time and energy are at a premium. One foot in front of the other, 10 minutes at a time. Thank you Diane!

    Minimalism for me is no unwanted clutter. I have a home that is peaceful and calm. I am constantly working on decluttering as I want a home that is easy to maintain. Less items means a quicker clean as well as finding what you want straight away. No wasted time and extra time for living life full of joy. 🎉

    @melissab8322 Місяць тому

    When I am home, I feel peace, ease, and no worries. I only surround myself with the items I enjoy and donate those that no longer serve their purpose. Everything is in its place (most days), and I can clean efficiently without having to move things around. My home is a blessing to me.

  • @susanekins8580
    @susanekins8580 Місяць тому

    I want my home to feel welcoming and serene. To me, that means uncrowded, a feeling of spaciousness. I don't want a house that feels like a museum, rather a house that is uncluttered. That is minimalism for me. You challenged us to get rid of one item, so I got rid of some papers. Thanks, Diane.

    Thank you Diane 😀 Though major confession time ~ my home resembles,(in places) an organised bookstore , with influences of a plant shop both of which brings me hygge comforts and reflects my and my hubby’s tastes … but strict rules re not a storage facility for others and I could so relate to your list of phrases /Reflections/affirmations 😀 NOTHING BUT GRATITUDE FOR YOU DIANE xxxx😘

    Thanks to your videos, I have learned to face declutterring as one small task at a time, instead of an overwhelming, unattainable job. Drawer by drawer, shelf by shelf and box by box, gets the job done and keeps me on track!!

    I have been practicing minimalism for several years now. It’s made it much easier to keep our home clean and tidy and I know where everything is (most of the time anyway 😄). Our home is not just a house, our home is our sanctuary, filled with things that my husband and I love 🥰

    @Loup73778 Місяць тому

    Thanks Diane, Minimalism to me is a feeling of order and calm. My home hugs me and is a relaxing place for my family and friends. Clutter free but not sterile. I always try to remember it's a work in progress not a final destination, that way I don't get overwhelmed or frustrated. And people feel relaxed, not uptight in my space. Your affirmation, " my house is not a dumping ground " is definitely for me. And I try to have the affirmation "my home isn't perfect but it's perfectly home ' ❤

    Minimalism means a calm home for my family & I. The ability for me to focus on self care & calming my anxiety rather than cleaning. It allows me to spend time with my family & friends rather than worrying about housekeeping. Minimalism allows me to say “yes” to those things that make my heart happy ❤️

Time to get back with your inspiration! “My home is not a museum.” I always say that to my family (hubby and adult children). But it’s a struggle for us all as we are very sentimental and most of our family has passed away.

    You have made me take stock of where I am in my decluttering journey - I thought back to how things were in my home a few years ago, it was chaos and we also had a storage unit 😮. Now, my house is still full but everything fits and the piles are gone, along with the £100 a month storage unit. It's still WIP but I'm doing better and I'm putting one foot in front of the other every day. Thanks for your support, Diane. X

    My minimalist home is an essentialist home…just enough of everything (clothes, housegoods, art and decor) in its correct place, that fits well/is in good working/clean to be pleasing to me and to lift my spirits. I love to travel and having a simple home makes it easy to pick up and go and delightful to return to at the end of a trip.

    My home reflects me and my family, being me, being us. So I want our home to give rest and make us feel at ease, at home and in control. I want our home to be ready to welcome guests at any time.
    And I also want our home to give us confidence that it's okay to let go for a while. For me this works better with less things and stuff.

    I like my home to feel simple and calm. Minimalism helps me keep it that way. Many thanks to you!! 🥰

    Oh wow, many of those statements resonated with me. My home is not a dumping ground. My home is not a storage unit for other people’s stuff.
    My Flylady zone sheets are evolving through these videos. On the back of each page is a growing list of self-care ideas for the week. I’m now going to add these affirmations.
    Thank you, Diane! See you tomorrow on the DYT broadcast!!

    Thank you Diane. My home is evolving - I’m not sure what minimalism means to me right now but I’m enjoying the process of figuring it out. I’m committed to following along with you to declutter and create a space that I love.

    I'm still in the middle of the decluttering process after two of our children have moved out. For them it's much easier to let go of things, because I link so many memories with old toys and clothes. But I'm getting better. And thanks to your motivation I'm putting one foot in front of the other. A big hug from Germany!🤗

    I moved into my new place nearly a year ago. There was so much stuff but over the past 12 months (with your help) I have got rid of so much. I’m still decluttering because I think there is always something that can go. I am so much happier with my space and how it looks now, it’s encouraging to continue 😊

    Yes I love your affirmations to what your home is and isn't. My home is my safe and comfortable place. My home is not a storage facility. I will continue to declutter with you!

    Love these affirmations. It is so easy for me to talk negatively to myself when it comes to my home.

    My minimalistic home does act as storage for my grown children but the boxes and equipment are stored in my crawl space and have been checked and decluttered over the years. They know when I downsize in 5 years they will need to find new homes. Dianes 10 minutes is how I manage to upkeep the tidy calm spaces that I enjoy.

    Hi Diane. Minimalism for me is freedom. Thanks for sharing some thought provoking ideas!

    I so appreciated these affirmations and the one that randomly hit me was “my home is not a pharmacy”. I have a lot of extra bulk in the bathroom and bedrooms from past illnesses etc. I found 5 things in my DD’s room that qualify as clutter and can go!

    Minimalist home to me means I am cozy when I wind down at night and can get to whatever I need in my house easily.

    So many helpful thoughts from you, Diane, and from the folks who have shared their ideas in the comments. I want our home to be welcoming to others while being calm for me too. The home needs to work for both my husband and for me, and we are quite different from each other. We are very happy at the way our home has changed for the better over the past few years after implementing routines and hugely decluttering. Thank you dear Diane for your help along the way!❤

    I am going home after 10 weeks away.
    I'm going to have new eyes to the stuff and new eyes to what needs to leave.
    I shall be considering what my home really is and what I want it to be.

    The affirmations you mentioned are so true! I sometimes think I take my home for granted when it deserves more thoughtfulness. After all, our homes give us a way to take care of ourselves and the people we love. I’m a little behind in watching your videos, Diane. We got through a busy goat kidding season, and the 10 month old is keeping me on my toes.😂

    I am no minimalist and my house might be a book store😅. But its cozy, more and more well organized thanks to you. Definitely a place our family loves. And thank you for being here for us 🎉🎉🎉
