I just deleted everyone on social media. And as I was deleting their contacts, I thanked them for coming into my life and wished them the best. And this has felt absolutely liberating. I was motivated to do this because I don’t want to spend my life watching other people live theirs. Also, I want to be FULLY present in my life moving forward. This was the first step into my whole digital reset. I was so tired of spending so much time on my phone, so I wanted to re-design my whole digital experience. I got rid of so many apps, put time limits, filters for emails and etc. If you have been glued to your phone and starting to get tired of it. If you have been overwhelmed and just want some peace. If you are fully ready to invest in YOUR life…I hope you take this as a sign to do a digital reset.
When the world seems chaotic, it's our time to be even more gentle to ourselves and each other. Especially as a highly sensitive person. This are some ways I've been keeping myself grounded lately.

It was a last-minute decision to temporarily leave 50% of our stuff behind. I just found out that there are forms I can fill out to ship our belongings here without paying a lot of fees which is great news! But all the big stuff like furniture, appliances...etc. we will eventually buy it in Portugal. I wanted share my journey of how I'm purchasing these things mindfully. I hope you enjoy the video :)
I had to jump on this trend (fashionably late of course!) I created a dopamine menu, full of things that I love and enjoy and I've forgotten how much these activities fulfill me! I'm using this dopamine menu to reset my habits and it has made a big difference in what I do in my downtime. I'm sharing with you some of the things on my "menu" and hopefully it can inspire you to come up with your own.
I hope you had a wonderful summer. Thank you guys for being so patient with this one, but it's been a very wild couple of weeks! You'll see why in this video. I hope you enjoy it and come say hi in the comments :) I'll be back to my "normal" schedule, posting every other week. Sending you much love and best wishes.

The key to romanticizing life is to see the beauty in your own life, instead of trying to make your life aesthetically perfect or comparing it to someone elses' seemingly perfect life.
“But if you knew you might not be able to see it again tomorrow, everything would suddenly become special and precious, wouldn’t it?”
― Haruki Murakami
TODAY IS MY 4TH YOUTUBE 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!
