It is possible to reduce stress and increase productivity by decluttering! Research backs this up! The Journal of Current Psychology has published studies showing the negative impacts of clutter. It causes “life dissatisfaction” and can “negatively impact our mental wellbeing”.
On our recent show, Dee and I talked with Delia Perry from the Girls 4 Greatness podcast, in which she interviews successful women from all over the world. Many of her guests have reached success through changing their previous mindsets, instead of holding themselves back with limiting fears and beliefs.
It’s 2019! Welcome to our first podcast episode and blog post of the new year! Dee and I discussed a topic that often comes to mind as a new year prompts reflection— purpose.
Everyone’s trials are different, and if it feels like a disaster to you, than it is. No comparisons! When you find yourself crying in the back of an Uber (like Dee!), or crying on the steps of your home after almost burning it down, it qualifies as a disaster.
Have you ever been in a weird mood? A bad one, sad one, a funk- and you are not even sure why? No energy, don’t wanna do jack and overall feel blah? If you have, I feel you completely- and I think most people do too (at least at some point in their life).
If you know me at all, even a little bit, you know that I USED to have an intense fear of flying. I mean intense. Like the kind of fear….(insert shame face here) where I would take prescribed medication, time it just so, drink a glass (or three) of wine, and pour myself into a seat on the plane.
There are plenty of articles and resources on what needs to happen in order to be happy & healthy. The hard part is figuring out what works for you (not everything works for everyone) and then sticking to the process.
One of my LIFELONG goals is to have a positive disposition about life. I have failed miserably at this more than I have succeeded, but I strive each day for a positive outlook, no matter what the situation is.
A ‘know it all’ will drive us crazy. I know, because sometimes I act like I am one and I drive MYSELF crazy. I constantly have to tell my brain- slow that shit down, you could be wrong here. I think, we all start off as ‘know it all’s’.
Many of us file the term FAILURE into a state of feeling. I have heard too many people say, “I am a failure”, or “I seem to fail at everything”, or “I am such a failure, I can’t do anything right”, and the sad truth is, they are right.
