Sentimental Clutter Cleaning’s Healing Effects

The Healing Effects of Sentimental Clutter Cleaning

 

Sentimental clutter lives in the past; keeping it around often prevents full presence in the here and now. Conversely, removing what’s unnecessary ushers in freedom. It presents opportunities for personal growth, too. If you have items in your home that leave you emotionally drained, it’s likely time for a sentimental clutter cleaning.

My guest this week is Erin Beckman. Erin is a single mother and widow who faced her attic full of  nostalgic items head-on and found herself in the process.

Erin describes the process of sifting through her deceased husband’s items as a transformative one. That’s because facing those tough emotions – instead of working so hard to avoid them – cleared the way for healing.

On today’s show, Erin describes how she knew the time was right to face her sentimental clutter. She lays out 9 specific tips on how she did it and why you, too, should usher in fresh energy in the form of tidied simplicity, too.

Happy listening!

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!
