"I know I can't..." is how we can detect our limiting belief(s). That is SO helpful! Thank you❤ I'm feeling physically restrained when I attempt to start. I could easily declutter someone else's stuff. There's so much personal attachment to my own clutter. I want to keep it all, i just don't have places to put everything. I took 2 nights away to the beach, hoping to refresh my prespection of the piles. Idk what I need to hear, I hope it's in this video... (I have aquired certification for professional organizing and certification in Reiki and Reiki Space Clearing in attempts to wangle and manage the hoard) ❤ I'm so grateful to find your channel today!

Thank you for offering some really helpful tips that I’d never heard before. They make sense, so I believe they will work.

I think one common reason that people are afraid of decluttering is that they have no idea what they have, so of course the act of deciding to discard things is frightening. I recommend setting aside the idea of decluttering and first just sort to find out what you have.

Love the sunglasses! I applaud you for your Just one focus! Unfortunately or not ,for me , I always need more than one! ❤All the best your way!❤

Loved this video Danielle - thank you! Truly helpful & motivating indeed! xo 😘

On a side note, does anyone know where I can get those spice holder, containers, and labels? My spices and herbs drawer needs an overhaul!

What a beautifully made video. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it.

Your list is very detailed, I had actually recorded what u said in my Notes and will clear them one segment at the time. I also need to add in other items that I want to clear are the old DVD, player, game console, DIY items like rusty pliers, nails, old clothing &pants, underwear etc, notebookš,. Thanks your list is super helpful, keep it up 👍

terrific info of how to apply psychology to de-cluttering. 1. Acts of Mastery: I dog a "10-minute Tidy" with the timer when a space looks cluttered which gives me the feeling that I CAN have a tidy space. 2. Vicarious wins: Your de-cluttering community and classes are my ground for role models, knowledge, and inspiration from others 3. Verbal persuasion: I Like affirmations and basking in the success of others. 4. Psychological arousal: I practice mindfulness daily which opens the space for creativity in my life (vertical rather than horizontal thinking) There is a positive feedback loop when I pay attention to improve my home environment with baby steps. I watch for negative triggers and turn them around with positive self-talk. thanks so much for this forum to discuss the "mind behind decluttering" I relate to our childhood home environment influences. The "deprevation" of my childhood was actually positive. I grew up with parents who had more cleverness than money. I wore used clothes my aunt (a seamstress) would mail in a box. One of my favorite childhood memories was Mom and I modeling the "hand-me-downs" for Dad. As a result, I love vintage, thrifted, and castoff clothes I grew up with a house full of furniture that was either free, from auctions or thrifted. Mom and I did a lot of refinishing and painting. The house was charming and eclectic. My Dad got a free house from the state when a highway was built. He traded a mover to get the home to a lot they purchased and did the foundation himself. that was the family home my whole life. As an adult, I adore remaking outfits from thrifted and cast off clothes and now it is a THING:-) Very little of our furniture was bought new and if it was, it was assembled by DH. Those lessons of thrift and being clever with castoffs really stuck, and I have made peace with this. BTW, once in a while since I now have more money , I do buy something new...trying to break out of my old habits:-)

Totally off topic, this hair length looks so good on you!!

Thank you.

Interesting and helpful insights here. Thank you!

To be fair, some of us keep restaurant sauce packets because we don't use hot sauce very often or heavily, & therefore don't want to buy a whole bottle of it, lol.

This makes a lot of sense to me. Most things I really don’t care about all that much but I also have a lot of trouble getting rid of my clothes. When I was young I always had to wear old clothes from my cousin and I hated that and now I have a problem with throwing out all the beautiful clothes that I bought for myself even if they don’t fit me anymore. I already started over decluttering a room that I did before but I just don’t start on closets with clothing.

Can you link your portable, foldable laptop stand?

This was so helpful and refreshingly something I hadn't heard before. The theory and then actual strategies and examples of what to do were much appreciated!

Definitely furniture has an effect as done all small items nut realised after doing workshop most of my furniture has the scarsity mindset of being given or a bargain. Once I am out of debt will have more intention to replace anything I keep with more function flow and the right size ❤❤

Selling off entire collections is a huge hurdle for me. If I could just sell it all to one person right now I'd be done

What a fantastic video Mia!! Thank you for all this information ❤❤❤

You have great hair

I consider myself kind of a minimalist. In comparison to most of my friends, I am a minimalist but some rabid minimalists would say I’m not a minimalist because I have books and I have art on the wall and I have a craft room, I have a collection of mid-century modern swung vases. Yet, I have empty cabinets and empty shelves in my cabinets. I don’t have anything on the floor, except for furniture legs, trash cans and a couple of area rugs. I have a couple of friends and a relative who are out and out hoarders not using the word lightly, actual diagnosed hoarders. My one friend said out loud “I will never get rid of anything ever”. As far as equating minimalism to OCD people don’t understand what OCD is either. They throw this phrase around thinking that it means your neat clean and organized which really is virtually hardly any part of OCD. OCD is obsessive thoughts, if you don’t tap the door knob six times and click the lock three times everybody in Cambodia will die. That’s OCD or people who can’t hold a job because they can’t be on time because they have to keep going back home over and over and over and checking if the door is locked, checking if the iron off, checking if the curling iron is unplugged, over and over and over so they can’t even get to work on time.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on introverts, introspection & clutter-free, minimalism. I’m on my own journey and realizing how much space and quiet I need.

Wow, you are so good at explaining these concepts. Thanks so much!

Hoarding isn't bad. They become our historians.

Plz do your cleaning schedule. I would think with a minimal house you should be be done rather quickly. All the best.

Loved your tips! Ive been working on this myself: keeping things feeling "cozy" even when it's pushing triple digits here. 😂

These are great tips!!

Can this be triggered when someone is already an adult? I wasn't cluttered until my last relationship was ended by dumping me at a friend's house with nothing but the clothes in my back, he had helped me make the decision to not work, sell my car, and share a phone with him before this. My friend lived no where close to where i lived, so i was broke, stranded, and homeless in one motion. Later this asshole came and found me and took me "home" but all my stuff was gone. I began collecting whatever i could get because of the financial, time, and transportation control he exercised over me. With the tiny bit of money he's give me, it would take me 10 years to save up anything to get out.

Plants and candles are cozy to me in the summer

I find it difficult to feel cozy in the summer bc the AC is always blasting but I feel stupid wearing a sweater in the summer. I want to just turn off the AC and open windows but my husband can’t stand the humidity.

Random thought -- and this isn't something you'd do to your home -- but I find cozy in the opposite. So white walls and brightness in the winter and dark walls and dim light in the summer. It's because it's a break from the environment. I find the brightness of summer really overstimulating at time so dim and dark feels luscious.

I love your hair color. I'm a natural red head, but its getting darker as I get older. Can I ask, do you color yours? If so what color do you use? I enjoy all of your videos! Thank you for the content you put out.

This video is so me. Just what I needed

Loss, yes, something that I realised was I wasnt keeping people out because I was ashamed of my house, I was keeping my mess to keep people out. No risk of more loss.

I can't filter mine out, I think about it constantly

Totally get the principle, especially the nature, flora etc - our ancestors' savannah. But my 'cosy' is pretty much limited to winter, autumn at a stretch. Getting that homely vibe from minimalism is a challenge like the cherry on top of the sundae... First you have to be in shooting distance of the sterility that ironically is the distant unattainable goal of most fams living in perpetual chaos, and no shame or blame in that. (Sterile like some postmodern architect designer house like they portray rich villains owning in movies... Nice problem to have!)

Where can I find the light bulbs you were talking about? And, how much do they cost?

How can I politely decline a surprise gift? I don't want the extra work of regifting or donating it

I have two issues one not solved. My clutter has to do with mixing my personal life with work. If it is out of sight it is out of mind. So I am working on that. The other is getting anxiety when I see things thrown out. If I see a neighbor getting rid of an expensive item I take it and put it online. My sister is helping me but I have to make an agreement not to pick things up off the street. My neighbor who is a doctor was throwing things out because he can re-buy everything. I went around knocking on my neighbors door to see if they wanted to take anything. The rest I had to run inside as I heard the crunch of quality furniture being crushed by the sanitation truck.. I was having a full blown anxiety attack. When I give things away I bless it and call it adoption. FYI I was not adopted. It also bothers me when people throw things out just because.

I was very similar when I was young, embarassment/ no confidence. Studied all night for a chem exam, went in and finished it early and was sure I had flunked miserably. Went for a walk and had a mental break/ epiphany which released me from all cares. Totally liberating, it led me to totally change my life (got the top grade in the class on that exam). Became a minimalist before there was a name for it, and had no care what anyone else thought about me. Still like that 50 years later, and I wish it would have happebned sooner in muy life.

You put it so well I always come away feeling positive from your videos thank you :)

This is so helpful! I also am lucky to be alive! Put another way, I believe in angels! I paid big bucks to an old lady dating service. She didn't check out her matches! I went out with a VA psychiatrist!! He didn't take me to dinner! He wanted to barbecue the cheapest cuts of meat and he poured lots of brandy or something syrupy! I finally asked him to take me home. His big gas guzzler boat of a car was all over the Bay Bridge as he ranted at me. He was drunk. I was saying prayers silently. At my apartment door, he didn't wait to see I got into the building lobby. Well, to make this shorter, I wore the same pretty outfit to work the next day. I did not go straight home at 5. I knew he was gunning for me. I got off the cable car mid-evening, and here came his big old car! He turned the corner in front of the ice cream shop and I was right there, but invisible to him. Saying "I don't think so" to a total jerk can be so terribly wise. Just think, younger friends, it could be the perfect evening to go thru that box of papers!

When we see certain minimalists on You Tube, a couple of them really make me want to holler at the screen! There's the nice guy with the low hairline who wears black T-shirts! eeeee-e-e!And the soft-spoken blond lady who lives overseas and is so terribly sensitive and updates her furniture on a whim! I had to move from a bad situation, and cousins just shoved stuff anywhere! No pathway in the storage locker! Dolls wave at me from way back. At age 10 I came thru major earthquake, whooping cough, and near divorce of my folks. The tremors and the gasping continued for months. Thirty years later my husband said "Honey, some parts of you are ten years old!" I answered, "You know, you're right!" So two years ago I got dumped into a tiny studio apartment and two years later I'm still looking at 12 or 14 file boxes that have to go! The golden oak dresser that we bought with wedding money is in storage -- and I miss it! The colorful Madonna (turquoise, red, orange) is on the wall with an interesting story. My Nana's "Peaceful Kingdom" picture is over the sewing machine. The old red Indian cotton print bedspread is here in a box. Now that it's hot, I will put it on my bed just like 52 years ago in San Francisco when I was pickled tink to be free from family smothering non-help. I really do have a kind of uniform: washable pants and a BRIGHT cotton knit top -- hot pink, red, turquoise, cobalt, purple, turquoise, mint green, hot pink, cherry red, and teal Many little treasures I'm packing up to go back to storage -- a slice of worn-out cable car, a fine wooden jewelry box my grandfather made for me. I am not a hoarder! You should see my crappy kitchen! I talk to the little girl and remind her we'll have a nicer home maybe within the year. It helps me to know that I can tear apart magazines and save only what I like, put the rest in recycling. Nothing is lost that way.

Thanks for the reminder to shred tax documents from 5 years ago I didn’t see a free digital declutter 0:06 class. I saw a video on why digital clutter is hard. There’s a 15% off link for the class. Maybe she gave you the class for free, but it’s not free for the rest of us.

10:55 you are also teaching them you have to get money for everything and there's no such thing as charity. (Charity is joy, especially if the person both receiver and giver is happy) that's right, happy doing it and happy the person is happy about it 😊

Thank you.. some new info for me

People like you fill the landfills and go into debt.

I just decluttered 185 bottles of nail polish (kept 95 bottles 🤦🏾‍♀️💅🏼❤️) and 60 of my books 📚❤!
