What’s the ‘One Day Syndrome’?

_____

“One day I want to take that hike.”

“One day I want to travel to New Zealand.” 

When we live our life in reaction to what comes our way, we leave no space for extra.

Allowing for free space takes intentionality. When we are intentional about where we want to go, we allow for the space to make those ‘One Day’ moments happen.

It will always remain ‘One Day’ until you put a date on it.


“Be careful about what you choose to bring into your home, your head, and your heart – is it worth the weight?”


Practical First Steps for Clearing All. The. Clutter.

_____

– Shift your mindset. Know you’re the driver of your own life.

– Create a family vision statement.

– Set a date.

– Don’t look at the obstacles. Look at the opportunities.

 


Minimalism isn't just about clean countertops. It's about  creating space in all areas of life for intention to flow in. Here are some practical first steps.


Notable quotes from the episode:

_____

“Minimalism is so much more than just a clear countertop.”

“Minimalism is lightening the load. Period.”

“Sometimes we put glass ceilings on what we really can do + what’s practical + we never go beyond it.” 

“What’s the feeling behind the goal?”

“Entrepreneurs spend so much time crafting visions statements + core values for their businesses. Oftentimes we don’t take that time + consideration when it comes to creating our families.” 

“Families often see the big picture + want the big picture but it’s so overwhelming they can’t get to it.”

Fossil fuels power our modern lives, and yet fossil fuels are also powering global warming. Because many of us lack the self-sufficient skills necessary to survive an extended power outage event, we are one thing and one thing only: vulnerable.

We have become over-reliant on the very thing that's destroying our planet. On today's show: Imagining the ways in which modern life, interpersonal connections, well-being and more would change in a hypothetical, fossil fuel-free world.

 

Here's a preview:

[6:00] We are so reliant on electricity that we are incapacitated without it. This is a problem!

[11:00] In the event of a 2-weeks plus outage, modernity would look a lot different

[24:00] Is minimalism late stage capitalism personified?

[28:00] Without fossil fuels, we'd be circular

[30:00] What research says with regard to the wellness benefits of working with our hands
