Welcome into my safe space, which is my bedroom.
歡迎來到我的安全空間,也就是我的臥室。
I absolutely love it.
我非常喜歡。
I love spending time in it.
我喜歡在裡面度過時光。
It's just wonderful.
真是太棒了。
If you didn't know, I'm a lodger living in Bristol with the most loveliest family.
如果你不知道,我是住在布里斯托爾的房客,和最可愛的一家人住在一起。
But the bedroom in question does need a really good declutter, so that is what we're doing.
但這間臥室確實需要好好整理一下,所以我們正在做這件事。
So this is the second diary entry in my Detox Diaries series.
這是我的 "排毒日記 "系列的第二篇日記。
In my last entry, I was decluttering my bookcase.
在上一篇文章中,我正在整理我的書櫃。
That was after being ill in bed, staring at it, wanting to be rid of things to purify my space from stuff that weighs me down mentally.
那是在我病倒在床上之後,我盯著它,想把它扔掉,以淨化我的空間,讓我遠離那些給我帶來精神負擔的東西。
Noise and frustration that I experience in my inner world that I decided are being magnified by having irrelevant objects blocking up my field of sight.
我內心世界中的噪音和挫敗感,被無關緊要的物體擋住視線而放大了。
Under-consumption core.
消費不足的核心。
It's gotten really big recently, the desire to under-consume, to reuse things, up-cycle old items and give them a new purpose, trade with friends and ultimately slow down the consumption of stuff.
近來,人們開始熱衷於減少消費、重複使用物品、回收舊物品並賦予其新的用途、與朋友進行交易,並最終放慢物品消費的速度。
This is honestly wonderful for my low-waste loving ears.
老實說,這對我這個喜歡低浪費的人來說真是太好了。
I think people are starting to feel less fulfilled and know that their spending habits are not healing the empty void they feel.
我認為,人們開始感到不那麼充實,並知道他們的消費習慣並沒有治癒他們所感受到的空虛。
We have access online to so many people and with that, their stuff.
我們可以在網上接觸到很多人,也可以接觸到他們的東西。
Everything is so fast-paced.
一切都是那麼快節奏。
Buy that, it will cure this.
買了它,就能治好這個病。
Get that, it will minimize this.
接通後,就能最大限度地減少這種情況。
Use that, you will feel this.
使用它,你會感受到這一點。
And everybody thinks they are one purchase away from feeling complete, but the people advertising these things to you are also caught in the same vicious cycle.
每個人都認為自己只需購買一次就能獲得完整的感覺,但向你宣傳這些東西的人也陷入了同樣的惡性循環。
They are not closer to a fully enriched life because of one purchase.
他們不會因為一次購物而更接近豐富多彩的生活。
Perhaps by bringing that item into your life, you are one step away.
也許,把這件物品帶入你的生活,你就離它更近了一步。
After being in the cycle over and over, I think people are clocking on to the fact that they are still stuck.
在經歷了一次又一次的循環之後,我認為人們已經意識到他們仍然被困在其中。
The problem is not that you don't have enough, it's that you have too much.
問題不是你的錢不夠,而是你的錢太多了。
And we all know that when you're overwhelmed by choices, you can get delayed and lack confidence with the outcome.
我們都知道,當你被各種選擇壓得喘不過氣來的時候,你就會拖延時間,對結果缺乏信心。
And whilst decluttering can be step one of under-consuming, creating a blank canvas for purposeful living, I think it's important to acknowledge that decluttering can very much be a part of the over-consumption cycle.
雖然整理可以是低消費的第一步,為有目的的生活創造一片空白,但我認為必須承認,整理在很大程度上也是過度消費循環的一部分。
Remove things, add things, repeat.
刪除、添加、重複。
So when thinking carefully about what value it brings you as it may be exiting your life, we need to hold things to the same standard before they come into our lives.
是以,在仔細思考它可能會退出你的生活時,它能給你帶來什麼價值時,我們需要在它們進入我們的生活之前,用同樣的標準來衡量它們。
That process is all of the time, not a random rampage one Sunday morning.
這個過程是無時無刻不在進行的,而不是某個週日上午的隨意肆虐。
Being intentional of our spending habits is crucial, as it will only be another item you throw out and leave sat in landfill way after you leave the surf.
有意識地培養我們的消費習慣至關重要,因為在你離開衝浪之後,它只會成為你扔掉的又一件物品,被丟棄在垃圾填埋場。
I appreciate that under-consumption core will vary person to person.
我明白,消費不足的核心因人而異。
This is largely due to hobbies and physical space that might With these come material, resources, tools and equipment to explore that part of our identity.
這在很大程度上是由於愛好和物理空間的緣故,有了這些材料、資源、工具和設備,就可以探索我們身份的這一部分。
Whilst I get fulfilment over filming, editing, drawing, painting, sewing and whatever else, you may not.
我在拍攝、剪輯、繪畫、油漆、縫紉等工作中獲得了成就感,但你可能不會。
And the hobbies that bring you excitement may not me.
而能給你帶來興奮的愛好可能不是我。
And therefore, under-consumption is not cutting back on the ability to be able to carry out your interests or even your day to day, but rather having the access to enjoy your hobby, but not to an excessive amount.
是以,消費不足並不是削減自己的興趣愛好甚至日常活動的能力,而是有機會享受自己的愛好,但不能過量。
I include though your day to day.
雖然你每天的工作我都包括在內。
It's not about shifting how you're living.
這不是要改變你的生活方式。
In fact, it's the opposite.
事實上,情況恰恰相反。
Live how you intend to and remove the obstacles.
按照自己的意願生活,排除障礙。
A good example of this is Stanley Cups, one of the many, many trends circulating the internet, and somebody included in a de-influencing video of them showing their travel cups that they got years ago.
斯坦利杯就是一個很好的例子,它是互聯網上流傳的許許多多潮流之一,有人在一段去潮流化的視頻中展示了他們多年前得到的旅行杯。
Some people have even gone the extra mile and shown an array of second hand reusable bottles sat in charity shops.
有些人甚至不惜重金,在慈善商店裡展示了一系列可重複使用的二手瓶子。
It's not about excessively collecting or holding types of a travel cup, but rather having one that you use as part of your day to day.
這並不是說要過度收集或持有各種旅行杯,而是要有一個你日常使用的旅行杯。
I haven't got any top tips on how I declutter.
我沒有任何關於如何整理的絕招。
There's no method to my madness.
我的瘋狂毫無道理可言。
I simply choose an area and start picking things up.
我只需選擇一個區域,然後開始撿東西。
If I forgot it existed, that tends to be a leading factor to a more loving home, unless I need a more convenient spot for it.
如果我忘記了它的存在,除非我需要一個更方便的地方來放置它,否則這往往會成為一個更有愛的家的主導因素。
I also tend to think about what I feel when I look at it, and if it lacks joy, then simply it's just unnecessarily holding space.
我還傾向於思考我看它時的感受,如果它缺乏快樂,那麼幹脆它就是不必要的空間。
I touched up on my last video that I was putting things into piles to be binned, to get rid of, but not binned, and to be put somewhere else in my room.
我在上一段視頻中提到,我把東西抽成幾堆,有的要扔進垃圾桶,有的要扔掉,但沒有扔進垃圾桶,還有的要放在房間的其他地方。
I then later put items back in a more intentional spot, took the bins out, but I'm still waiting on where to put the that are to leave.
後來,我把物品放回了一個更有意識的地方,把垃圾桶拿了出來,但我還在等著把要離開的東西放在哪裡。
Dear my detox diary, I'm feeling good for decluttering, but need to be honest.
親愛的我的排毒日記,我覺得整理很好,但需要誠實。
I feel so much guilt after Christmas.
聖誕節過後,我感到非常內疚。
I always have.
我一直都是。
It's such a time for consumption, and I remember crying to my mum at the age of like 16 during the Christmas countdown for feeling responsible for participating in such a mass overconsumption event.
這是一個消費的時代,我記得在我 16 歲的時候,在聖誕節倒計時的時候,我向我媽媽哭訴,因為我覺得自己有責任參與這樣一個大規模的過度消費活動。
The thing is, I am privileged.
問題是,我享有特權。
I know this, and I'm so fortunate to be able to give and receive gifts, but I can't ignore the statistics.
我知道這一點,我很幸運能夠送禮和收禮,但我不能忽視統計數據。
Only 1% of gifts remain in use six months after festivities.
只有 1%的禮品在節日過後六個月仍在使用。
Brits spend over 700 million pounds on unwanted gifts each year. 226,800 miles of wrapping paper is discarded, and 30,000 tons of Christmas cards are thrown out each year, and that's not to mention the food.
英國人每年在不想要的禮物上花費超過 7 億英鎊。每年有 22.68 萬英里的包裝紙被丟棄,3 萬噸的聖誕賀卡被扔掉,這還不算食物。
I don't feel joy in overconsumption.
我在過度消費中感受不到快樂。
In fact, it tends to be the only time of year I get new first-hand items.
事實上,這往往是我一年中唯一能得到新的一手物品的時候。
Usually, if I want something, it's from a charity shop, car boots, eBay, Facebook marketplace, etc.
通常,如果我想要什麼東西,就會從慈善商店、汽車靴子、eBay、Facebook 市場等處購買。
And this year, my boyfriend and I did a second-hand gifting challenge, which I know we both really enjoyed doing.
今年,我和男朋友一起挑戰了二手禮物贈送,我知道我們都非常喜歡這樣做。
I get the same feeling from second-hand goods as I explained in my damn phones video, as I do with home-cooked goods and nature walks.
正如我在 "該死的手機 "視頻中解釋的那樣,我從二手商品中得到的感覺與我從家常菜和大自然散步中得到的感覺是一樣的。
It just feels good, slow-paced.
感覺很好,節奏很慢。
I don't feel out of alignment with myself afterwards.
事後,我不會覺得與自己格格不入。
I notice that I'm sort of slipping out of the diary entry style talking, but if you had seen my recent video, you know I'm now leaning into fixing up old clothing.
我注意到我已經不再以日記的形式說話了,但如果你看過我最近的視頻,你就會知道我現在更喜歡修補舊衣服了。
In fact, I've been enjoying wearing my patch-up black cargoes for work this week.
事實上,本週我一直喜歡穿著補丁黑色短褲上班。
I've even been showing them off to people where I look so scruffy and scrunched up by some dodgy sewing, because that's my work of art.
我甚至在別人面前炫耀它們,因為我看起來邋里邋遢,被一些潦草的針線活弄得皺巴巴的,因為這就是我的藝術作品。
I feel so much joy showing people where I, with my own hands, have fixed second-hand cargo trousers that I bought from a car boot a few years ago for something like 40p.
我很高興向人們展示我親手修補的二手長褲,這些長褲是我幾年前花 40 便士左右從汽車後備箱買來的。
I've since brought my sewing machine to Bristol and I very much intend on leaning into this under-consuming way of enjoying clothing and giving the pieces a new lease of life.
從那以後,我把縫紉機帶到了布里斯托爾,我很想用這種低消耗的方式來享受服裝,讓它們煥發新的生機。
I'm really looking forward to what my first real creation might be.
我非常期待我的第一個真正的作品。
Not a cushion, not some patch-up work, but a nice top or something out of some second-hand material from the back of my closet.
不是一個墊子,也不是一些修修補補的工作,而是一件漂亮的上衣,或者用我衣櫃後面的一些二手材料做成的東西。
