How We Simplified Our Life (Downsizing, Minimalism & Mindfulness)

✨ Hi! How are you? What does "living simply" mean to you?
In this video, I talk about:

1. Downsizing
2. The importance of location
3. Minimalism
4. Mindfulness

Cool content

I have an app to motivate me to meditate and take time for mindfulness. They plant trees for people when I meditate so it’s not just making my life better. So far this year I have planted 30 trees through them. If I’m struggling I go sit in the garden and just breathe while my mind empties out.

I have my routines that bring me calm and I rarely allow anything to interfere with my calming routines - my early morning walk before work with my dog, a leisurely breakfast, my Saturday morning food shop, weekend hikes…all of these small things bring me peace.

Hello! I have been on a similar path for awhile now. Letting go of so many things I had accumulated for a life different to how I live now. Having less things has given me a sense of calm and ease in my home. After a 40 years in corporate life, I continue to try and achieve daily mindfulness and being present ☺ I have a small home but in near future I see myself in a smaller apartment. Closer to the city for accessibility for what I need day to day. I really enjoy your insights and glimpses into the changes you have made.

Sorry to be off topic, but the captain sounds just like Bane.

I love your videos. So peaceful and calming. I am trying to get into practicing mindfulness. I really need it. Also doing more decluttering of my home on a regular basis. Making it a habit. 🙂

Bonjour, merci pour votre vidéo apaisante. Également, nous essayons de vivre simplement, tout ce qui est superflu 👍Votre chat est magnifique 🐱🩵Bonne journée 😘

For anyone who wants a more calm and peaceful life, I have a book to recommend. Stolen Focus by Johann Hari is probably the most important book I have ever read.

Kuro so cosy on your husbands lap❤ I think pets can really improve your mental health. I love the way you plate up your biscuits for tea. My home is clutter free I prefer it that way I agree it doesn’t stop stressful situations, but it gives a calm space to recharge. Too much clutter I feel overwhelms the senses and it must be hard to relax. I like to be mindful when walking our dog every day. Although sometimes the demands on my time can make me want to rush through this but I always try to stop breathe and slow down live in the moment and I am also mindful this is my dogs time to enjoy. Your videos are also very calming and remind us to be more mindful in our every day life. 😊

I have always found calm in minimalist living. Nordic culture seems quite similar to Maritime culture, where we embrace nature and family/friends.

I love your vlog! Greetings from Italy ❤

Hi, el orden y la simpleza me dan paz mental, y un sentido de logro.
