066: How a Dry Month Complements Mental Minimalism

Clutter isn't *just* physical stuff. Clutter is old ideas. Clutter is not-so-great habits that don't serve us; clutter is anything that takes us further from our best selves, too. Embarking on a month without alcohol is a powerful way to live a life of intention. Here's how.

Have you ever embarked on a dry month? Would you consider one?

This week we explore the space where minimalism, intentional living + sobriety collide.

My guest this week is blogger Kim Miller. Through the lenses of #winemom + motherhood drinking culture, Kim + I examine the idea that clutter isn’t *just* physical stuff. Clutter is old ideas + habits that don’t serve us. Clutter is anything that takes us out of the moment + away from our best selves, too.

Kim suggests that taking a break from alcohol (or from any habit that isn’t serving you!) is a powerful way to seek a life of intention. Here’s how.

Clutter isn't just physical stuff. It's old ideas, it's habits that don't serve us, its anything that takes us further from our best self; that's why embarking on a dry month is a powerful tool when seeking to live a life of intention.

Saying No To New

New things are everywhere—and they’re causing us to disconnect from what we value most.

In a world that constantly tells us that new is better, our relentless pursuit of material wealth is costing us money, time and happiness. Worse, when we define ourselves by what we own rather than who we are, we reduce our lives to a single, superficial dimension.

On today’s show, New York Times journalist Eric Athas offers advice for stepping away from the cycle of constant buying, saying no to shallowness, and discovering the right kind of “new” in our lives.

Here's a preview:

[8:00] We're wired to become bored the familiar, and other truths to newness

[16:00] Consumption has costs! (In fact, it robs us of our finite attention, dilutes our capacity for genuine enjoyment, and misaligns our pursuit of happiness.)

[26:00] Musings on the ways in which overconsumption leads to superficiality

[37:00] Put down the trinket! Redefining what it means to experience novelty, growth, and freshness without relying on a transaction
