Spring Cleaning For Home, Head and Heart

Spring Cleaning For Home, Head and Heart

The origins of spring cleaning date back to times when homes were heated by fires: spring, then, offered an opportunity to sweep out the soot and grime that accumulated throughout the long winter. These days, the tradition of deep cleaning in spring rejuvenates our spaces, increases productivity, and clears out dust and other allergens.

On today’s miniature episode we apply the principles of spring cleaning to all important areas of our lives for greater clarity and well-being as we welcome the start of a new season.

 

Here’s a preview:

[3:00] The importance of clearing out old, stagnant energy in your home this spring

[7:15] What psychology says about emotional clutter (and one antidote to remedy it)

[12:00] How information overload impacts mental clutter, with thoughts on reducing it for greater clarity
