TODAY IS MY 4TH UA-cam ANNIVERSARY! I didn't know what to expect when starting this channel 4 years ago, but I'm so glad I just went for it. I went back and watched a lot of old videos while making one, and it's so cool to see my minimalism journey progress over the years.
Just want to say THANK YOU to you guys for being a part of this journey. It wouldn't be possible without you and your support. Sending you so much love today wherever you are!

How I'm being more intentional in my daily life
Переглядів 91 тис.14 днів тому
OK, this is a big subject to tackle, but I wanted to put my spin on this topic. The topic of living in a modern society where everything is outsourced, mass-produced, and tech-driven. Where we have to scan QR codes to look at the menu and we have "avatars" that represent us in the digital world...etc. I'm all for progress in the right direction, but I also don't think we should forget about tim...
Why I stopped chasing pleasure (and how to break the cycle!)
Переглядів 202 тис.Місяць тому
Cheap dopamine refers to fleeting pleasures that give us temporary satisfaction. It's usually from excessive social media, binge-watching, or eating junk food...etc. For the longest time, I didn't know the difference between REAL dopamine and Cheap dopamine. but there is a huge difference in how we experience pleasure. In this video, I talk about why I stopped chasing this instant gratification...
I made a mistake.

    Minimalism decreases anxiety and brings peace and freedom. I'm working on decluttering. It's a process.

    I am glad to be part of Sophies journey. I resonated a lot from your channel Malama life. All of your thoughts and contents goes along whats in my mind. Yeah I agree thats minimalisim isnt about curating with beigy and light colors, not about having less, but having what is valuable, true and essential to live your best life. It includes people, values, stuff, and other resources. Thank you Ms Sophie for being an inspiration. I am avid fan of your page and its contents. Goodluck on your journey always🤗🙏

    Not sure if I should follow minimalism advice from someone who has been moving a lot in recent years. Moving involves a lot of planning, packing, and can be quite stressful. It seems contradictory to the simplicity that minimalism promotes. Maybe I'm just also wondering if she’s truly committed to the lifestyle, or if she’s just following trends?

    A nonnegotiable habit either one I open my eyes first thing in the morning or put my feet on the floor say thank you and rest in gratitude for a few moments just spending time feeling grateful before letting anything else come into my day. Once I drink a cup of water first thing slowly and give hydration to my body

    I really love Marie Kondo’s advice when decluttering: to keep what sparks joy in your life. This prioritizes joy not just in terms of what you wear, use and surround yourself with in your daily life. It means your mindset changes generally and you consider what sparks joy in terms of your job/lifestyle/ friendship circles etc etc. So minimalism for me is not just about decluttering / minimizing the noise, the things that don’t bring me joy, put more simply it’s about maximizing joy. This recipe is different for every one of course in terms of what you keep and let go of. The end result however is the same: greater happiness - and that is the greatest luxury of all ❤

    • @JoyEmpress

    • @username00009
      @username00009 11 годин тому

      Some people get hung up with using this as a decluttering approach. I’ve seen people ask what they should do with their toothbrush because it doesn’t spark joy 🤣 Others have realized that none of their clothes spark joy, but they don’t have the budget to replace them. I loved that approach for clothing and books, but had a harder time with the miscellaneous category - probably because it wasn’t as clearly defined.

    • @maryab222
      @maryab222 Годину тому

      @@username00009 I really love Marie Kondo and her overall approach but I took the method itself lightly. I just held onto the main principles and followed it to a degree but it was more a case that she and her method in a general sense inspired me. I just let my own natural flow and energy dictate what was organized next and there were stretches I didn’t organise anything. Then the urge to do some more seemed to arise again and I’d head back into the fray! I’m quite a practical person so I never got stuck when it came to my toothbrush! 😂 Useful is as a good as beautiful sometimes and we can upgrade what we use if we want to when finances permit at some point. On her shows on Netflix it seemed the people attracted to this were all ready for change at a deep level in their lives and so this urge to change seemed to inspire another inner urge to let go of clutter. None of them seemed particularly wealthy, which I loved because it showed this method had the potential to benefit everyone where they were at. We have to trust that what’s in front of us is better than what we leave behind and that is what is difficult for so many of us I think. Baby steps… ❤️

    Malama Life I am new to your channel. I've been going through your minimalism playlist for a week now, and I'm writing every main point you make in the videos in a separate book. I am in Sri Lanka. Seeing your surroundings, I think it is very beautiful. But even though I don't have that much environment, I understood one thing from what you said. No matter where we are, no matter what kind of house we are in, no matter what level we are in, we can make all this to suit us as best we can. So thank you for all your videos. I'm a guy but I'm trying to change my life a lot through your minimalism videos. It's not that easy. Because my family sometimes sees this in a different way. But I will definitely do the right thing.

    I'm not really a minimalist, but I used to shop for clothing nearly all the time... until one day I decided to just stop. Now I only seldomly go shopping, only when I really need something and it's much more intentional so I only really own the clothing that I need. It's really very freeing.
