Welcome to Episode 45! How are we already a full month into 2023? 

You probably don’t think of yourself as a victim (and I’m glad!), but I’d place a heavy bet that there are areas of your life where you feel disempowered. A bit helpless, hopeless, stuck, or stalled. This episode will help you see those areas AND empower you to shift them. Let’s jump in!

Every now and then, when someone hears that I wrote a book on minimalism, they’ll say, “Ugh, I want to declutter, but it’s so exhausting! I usually give up before I get very far.” 

I get that.

Decluttering means making a thousand tiny decisions, taking a thousand steps around your house, and hauling dozens of bags and boxes to your car. The process—especially if you have a lot of clutter to clear—can be physically and mentally draining.

Of course, there are things you can do to make it more fun and sustainable (think: putting on great music and lighting a great-smelling candle, decluttering with a friend, doing a decluttering challenge, etc.) but YES, at the end of a day spent decluttering, your body is going to feel it. 

All of that said, what if you focused on something totally different while you were decluttering?

What if instead of thinking about how hard and how tiring it is, you redirected your brain to thinking about all of the things that are way more exhausting than decluttering?
