How does an empty room make you feel?

Less is more for my mental health

I love waiting,  it is the only time I can find myself with down time AND zero expectations to be doing something.

I am on the same page as the lady from Germany. I have not bought a legit changing table. I made my own by connecting a changing pad to a metal cabinet that was the right size. After I was done using it I was able to convert it back to a file cabinet. Now I just put washable cloths on the foot of my bed and change my child. Less worry of a fall in my opinion. No need for majority of fancy baby gadgets. I haven’t used a baby swing for my babies even though some women swear by them. I boil my bottles in a pot, and use my hands to warm up wipes and use a typical trash can with a lid for diapers. I find a lot of purpose when I try to find creative ways of living instead of buying every little object that clutters my home and mind. Currently trying to teach my oldest children how to let go of things they don’t care about anymore, and bless others if possible.

Yes TK!!! I hate how ads are forced on us in public spaces. The gas station and plane drives me nuts!!!

I get the woman who wants a luxury thing here and there.

I don’t have a lot of stuff. However, the stuff I do have is quality and it’s not cheap. I buy quality clothes, appliances, furniture, etc.

Not being overburdened allows me the freedom to do that.

Listening to the podcast and TK’s comments on screens inundating us everywhere really resonated! I would also like to add this. Why is there (loud, I think) music always playing everywhere I go even just walking down the street in some places? Are we that broken as a society that we aren’t even allowed to be at peace with our own thoughts?

As TK talks about ads … there’s an ad 😂

Emotions are neither positive or negative, they are just there! It is what you do with those emotions that becomes the positive or negative!

I am a new listener and have started my minimalist journey. Thank you both for the value you add to our lives and for  your insight. I love TK's story on how he was gifted books while at the monastery! How incredible was that! Loving your book, Love People Use Things. Just started it yesterday so only about 25% through. Thanks again for your lessons and encouragement.

TK I loved that library story so much. Thank you for sharing. You are a treasure.

You guys have knocked it out the park again with this episode! Fantastic!! I have written down several things you've both said. I like that you open people's mind to different possibilities. I'm picturing Joey Tribbiani asking that space "how you doing"😉 . Let's embrace the stillness. Day by day ❤. My friend once told me in regards to having babies the days are long but the years go fast. And I think that can be applied to all our lives. We don't want to look back and think wow I spent X amount of hours being over engaged with screens, TV, gaming. Now has arrived. Make a small change today. Forget one evening programme go for a walk. Ask your friend or partner a dream they have.

I want to be in the presence of Alabama.  How I love to hear you laugh!!!  Your laugh made me feel so Joyful!!!

You guys are totally amazing 🌟 🌟 you add so very much value to my life 🌟 🌟 Thank you ❤❤

I feel peaceful ✨️

I'm so addicted to your podcasts ... Watching from Hong Kong

I have never felt guilty about doing nothing as kid and a teenager. Remember my mom saying get your energy up go do whatever whatever but you know even to this day I just lose myself for instance in watching waves and then I look at my watch and it’s like 45 minutes is done by I love it 😊

I love this! Thank you for sharing!❤❤❤

Thank you so much for this!

This was absolutely wonderful ☺️
