I healed my anxiety with minimalism.

I'd love to hear your stories about how simplification helped you reconnect some lost connections in your life, or anything else related to this topic of mental health. Love to you. Thanks for watching and sharing your insight.

Thank you, Madisun! Minimalism has the power to radically improve anxiety. Last Lent, I abstained from podcasts, social media, news, and music. Being alone with my thoughts for weeks gave me the space I needed to "close tabs" in my brain and focus on what I hold closest to my heart. I was one hundred percent a more present, patient mom and wife. I am confident that people do not realize the healing power of silence.

I think as an influencer you should use balanced evidence when discussing something as huge as medication, or don’t quote/cite evidence at all. For many, helping themselves is only possible once successfully on medication. I hear your message, I love your channel, and I’m happy for you that you found healing through minimalism ❤ . Although great care has to be taken when influencing potentially vulnerable people.

There used to be a medical poster in the UK that said “Chest pain is nature’s way of saying ring for an ambulance”. People should listen to their bodies. We have been developing our human software for tens of millennia. It’s worth a listen. Stay well.

The food we eat completely affects our feelings too. Eating processed foods filled with seed oils will damage your gut, which has a direct link to your mental health. Take note of how you feel after eating certain foods. Sometimes I’ll be with family and will just eat fast food with them, within a half hour I’ll have anxiety out of nowhere. I’m not someone who deals with anxiety, so finally realizing that processed foods trigger anxiety helped those random attacks! Just another thought ❤

This video hit pretty close to home. I know that all the STUFF in my home is causing me anxiety, but I don’t know how to deal with it, because my husband is the type of person who has severe anxiety just thinking about getting rid of anything, and I have anxiety because I have to look at it. What a dilemma!

Six years ago my husband and I where back packing South America for 1 year and that’s when I found minimalism we then lived in a few 1 bedroom apartments which solidified my love for minimalism! I am now a mum of two boys 4 and 3 and I honestly do not know where I would be if I hadn’t simplified! Things aren’t perfect but they don’t have to be and things are a lot easier! I’m now really working on slowing down for my kids to give them a happy un rushed childhood Thank you 🙏 love from Australia

I was originally very defensive about this message because anti-depressants saved me from my severe depression and suicidal ideation after my firstborn arrived (i was seperated from my husband in the initial few days due to covid restrictions in hospital). But I truly think I'm ready to wean off my medication and see the benefits of the mental progress I've made in the past few years. Thank you Madi x

One of your best messages yet, Madi! There is always physical and mental healing in coming back to what and how the Lord created us.

You are almost to 100k!! Keep doing what you’re doing, you have been an encouragement on here ❤

In tears.... beautiful, Madi! Unfortunately , it took me a huge loss before realizing all this 🥺Thank you so much!🙏✨️

Thank you Madisun for yet another beautiful, heartfelt, inspiring visit! I admire your courage and conviction - it always feels so right to live in our most authentic ways. Your well-earned wisdom and your sharing of your story are vital for our personal/mental health. It is strengthening and joyful to know there are so many of us striving to “walk the talk”, and (instead of being held hostage by consumer advertising) be the authors of our own lives. Well done, friend. ❤

I am marveling at the wisdom that is coming from one so young - you just kindly offered 3 years of therapy in one short video - I truly mean that. So many layers, being able to stop, listen and trust yourself, and your body, and what it is telling you. I know exactly what you are speaking of on an 'induced birth' - that narrative is pushed right from the start of pregnancy with the start of the 'due date', and the anxiety it causes as 'the day' approaches. Your body begins to 'freeze up', and you become the 'perfect candidate' for whatever the doctors want according to their convenience - I've seen this over and over with friends and children and many others. It takes strength and courage to be able to trust your own wisdom, your body......and this is only one part of a life path of changes - this is not only for women, but men as well. Peace!

I love this so so much!! I’ve been watching your videos for around a year or so. I’ve been watching them on repeat lately and I’m so motivated to love a more simple and slow life. I got rid of over 70 books yesterday which is HUGE for me. Love your videos, Madi! ❤️

One of the best videos I’ve ever watched 🙏💖 We need more people like you in this world ☺️

Thank you soooo much for posting this video Maddie. I can truly say from my heart to yours that I love you dear friend. I’ve followed you for a long time and bought your course recently as well. I started following you because you were one of the only people I’ve ever came across who seemed to be on a similar journey as me in terms of slow living and minimalism and your views. I too suffered from bad postpartum anxiety after my first and only sweet little Claire was born 2 years ago and always wondered what your words of wisdom would be on that. It made me whimper happy tears as I listened to this and felt truly understood. I genuinely sent this to my husband and my mom who know me so well and said if I could express myself and my experience this well, this video is what I would say. I’m still in the process of healing through minimalism and slow living and I’m also healing adrenal fatigue and all the things. I live a very simple life in a small house and declutter and clean and garden and put my bare feet on the earth and walk outside and hug the trees and all the things and it’s what’s brought me back to myself. I’m still in the process of learning to trust myself and the creator but have come so far in the past 10 years. Anyways, from my heart to yours, I truly look forward to continuing this energetic friendship and understanding we have without even knowing each other. So much love to you and your family. Thank you for bringing your gifts to this world💞🌈💞

Madisun - I never comment on YouTube, but I needed this so much today. I’ve watched all your videos and they’ve had a profound impact on my life. Today I was feeling so defeated and The Lord lead me to your video this morning in a moment when I truly needed to hear these words. I want you to know how thankful I am for you. Thank you for being the light. May God bless you abundantly ❤

John delony has helped me make so many breakthroughs! To listen to my body, to listen to the pain and not ignore it or say “I’m just broken”. Love this podcast so much!

I've been following your channel for a while and love all your videos. It's clear you put a lot of time and effort in them. Even though this one was maybe more simple than your usual videos, it is what so many of us need now. To hear someone confirm that it's ok and we can enjoy life if we can just be mindfull and accept all the ups and downs along the ride. Thank you for your time.

I really appreciate you mentioning being with others. We're all on a journey! And we need to walk together ❤️
