061: 5 Steps to Staying Motivated when Decluttering Gets Hard

Don't lose steam! 5 steps to staying motivated during decluttering.

 

It happens to all of us.

We embark on a decluttering endeavor – a whole house purge, even – only to lose steam halfway through.

Indeed, it’s as if the motivation to finish vanishes into thin air.

We’re enticed by benefits of a minimalist home, including less stress, more free time + fewer items to clean. The problem is, though, that the act of decluttering induces stress, sucks up free time + requires hours of work.

On this week’s episode, Melissa Russell offers 5 practical steps for staying motivated when decluttering gets hard so that you, too, can reap the benefits of tidy simplicity.

Nature As Medicine

Are we treating the symptoms of modern life while simultaneously ignoring our habitat?

The average American now spends 93% of their life indoors. But humans evolved for millennia alongside the natural world, and research suggests that our indoor lifestyle is disrupting our sleep, focus and long-term health.

You don’t need a gym membership or expensive workout gear to get your health back on track. On today’s show, Dr. John La Puma argues that all you need is a 17-minute dose of nature, every single day.

Here’s a preview:

[4:00] Modern medicine tends to prioritize intervention over prevention. But why?

[7:30] We’re taught to fear the outdoors, but indoor living can be directly harmful in ways we’re only beginning to understand

[11:30] Why it’s time to view “screen time” as “ultra-processed time”

[16:00] Exactly how a daily dose of morning sunlight resets insulin sensitivity, hunger timing, and prefrontal cortex function

[30:00] Outside exercise is better for you than inside exercise, so take your movement outdoors!
