All of those, and also negative people. I leave them to their own lives and get on with mine

#8 ā€“ I''ve been on my minimalism journey since 2000. One Monday at work, after someone asked what my husband and I had done over the weekend and I shared that we'd gone on a walk and picnic with our dog and a hike the next day, another co-worker said "Don't you ever do anything?" Without sounding annoyed, I asked her what she and her husband did. She relayed the stores they'd gone to and the items they'd purchased and I responded "Oh, well that sounds like nice time together" in a kind voice. She paused, got quiet and walked away. Most people equate value and time well spent with acquiring but, when pushed, my co-worker seemed to realize the fallacy in that logic.

I have stopped caring about having the picture perfect family, about having a better relationship with toxic people to me even if they are family, and about being rich monetarily. I can be rich in other things. Thank for sharing another list with us.

i realized that when you fancy something beautiful in a shop it's often because it fits in the shop : some people worked hard to make a nice scenery for the things they sell to make those things attractive. When you buy the thing and it is in your home without the "decor" in which you first saw it, it becomes more common... so I remember that everytime... and it is very rare that I buy something.

I stopped expecting that if I start working out I have to do it 3 times a week and like sweat a lot and be all serious with it. Now I started with once a week and I dance between reps and have a good time with my favorite music. I can do what feels good and really enjoy it :)

Hi, Vera! I stopped trying that certain people accept me. I was the kind of person who didnā€™t care about what others felt about me, as long as I felt well with my conscience. I didnā€™t feel the need to be accepted, liked or understood, even because I know I am a bit different regarding my lifestyle and likes. At the age of 43, I started hanging out with my stepmotherā€™s family (my parents divorced when I was 20 and I never cared to hang out with my stepmother till then). Very soon I started noticing that they found me weird, strange, different, .... and stupidly I started changing the way I act to please them and to be accepted, only to notice that didnā€™t make any difference, because they continued to find me weird. So, at the age of 49 (Iā€™m 53), I decided that enough was enough and I stopped caring. I even started avoiding being with them. That cost me much more alone time, like spending the holidays alone, but I feel much more at peace not caring about what they think about me. I see my father usually alone and not with them, and if I am actually with them, I interact at the minimum and I went on taking my crochet or stitching to family gatherings and I donā€™t care what they think šŸ’™šŸ’›šŸ’—ā¤ļøšŸ§”šŸ’ššŸ’œšŸ–¤ā™„ļø

Your ability to stay true to who you really are is inspirational. So very hard to do in the era we live in. Youā€™re a great role model. Beautiful inside & out. šŸŒžšŸŒø

Hello! I am 15 years old, and in the past week, I have had a lot of time to think because my school is on Thanksgiving break. For the past few days, I have thought about all of what you mentioned in this video, and I am very passionate about learning what is best for a happier and healthier lifestyle. I love sharing these kinds of videos with my teen friends. I hope they can see just how amazing and helpful this video is. It especially shocked me when you mentioned worrying about landfills. This is because I spent all day today wrapping my mind around what to do with my unwanted clothing and understanding how I can reduce waste. I love our environment and learning how to save it, so it always makes me happy that others feel the same way I do. I do everything in my power to spread the word about saving our earth, but it can be hard sometimes when people are not susceptible to change. I dont want to force people to change their style of living. I just want what's best for our planet as a whole :)

I stopped caring what people think about me. I choose to be true to myself regardless of what anyone else is doing. Being vegan, minimalist and an eco-centric global citizen, I get looked at as if there is something wrong with me and that I could not possibly be happy. If people only knew. lol

9. That made me sit up: thinking you don't deserve to let something go. That can also be between You and You. If you didn't live up to your own expectations or vision, or your life went somewhat awry, you don't deserve to let go and move on. Buddhists might say it's the Ego being reeeeeally tricky. You'd tell anyone you care about to let go and move on, but oh no, not you, you can't, YOU should have been better. It's a very twisted way Ego can get us. I'm learning the freedom and happiness of being a mess of a person with a lot to offer and enjoy. It can take some real mindfulness, but so worth it! Thanks, V!!

Excellent as always Vera. To a certain degree I stop caring about my hair. I washed, blew dry and curled my hair everyday for years and years but during Covid I started washing every-other-day, no more blow drying or curling. Fluff and go was my new motto and it still looks good I had to tell myself because I wasn't used to it. What a freeing feeling. Thanks so much. You could probably do a 3rd video on this topic as I never get tired of learning.

I used to be a shopaholic, but when I learned about minimalism through YouTube I found that it felt good to me to have less stuff and need less stuff. Iā€™m still decluttering my house (I do it slowly, trying to found people that I can make happy with my stuff) and now I can shop without buying anything. Like you I love to look at nice things, but nowadays I ask myself if I really need it and most of the time this is not the case. I do have a wishlist and those things are really necessary and now I save to buy something after paying off my debts. Like you I was bullied when I was a lot younger, but I did the opposite. I just decided to be myself and dress the way I wanted and if they didnā€™t like it then at least they had a reason to bully me and I wouldnā€™t care about it.

Thank you Vera for sharing these things with us that you have found so helpful to stop caring about. It is easy to see that you have put much thoughtful consideration into each of them. Your thoughts are so appreciated and spur me on towards a more sustainable lifestyle. I would also like to focus on the things that I intend to embrace and bring forward in my life that will enable me to live a happier, healthier, more sustainable lifestyle as a HSP. I have personally found that I have a deep need for beauty in my life. It is as important as air for me to breathe! Since I am mostly homebound due to illness and handicaps, it is important that I have my chair close to a window with a beautiful view. I also enjoy searching YouTube for channels that show the beauty of creation, whether it be sweeping coastal videos, walks through the forest, or aquariums, or curated gardens. I find that it helps me so much to "travel" virtually with people to distant lands where I could never go otherwise. I also get to meet people like yourself who offer thoughts that open doors for me that previously seemed "locked šŸ”’". I am also excited to hear about what is worthy of embracing and curating as well as what is good to set free! Thank you for all that you do to share your thoughts with us in such a lovely format! All of the natural scenes that you interject into your videos are deeply appreciated along with your thoughts. Have a wonderful week!!! ā¤
