❤️ Weekend Favorites: Scatterbrained, living with less and spring anxiety
|
Weekend Wisdom: If you actually want to live with less stress and more peace and ease, it's time to embrace the idea of letting go, slowing down and living with less.
I'd rather read a book, chat with a friend, go for a walk or work on my biz instead of scrolling social media. I've been pulling back for many months and as a result, see some pretty big shifts for my life and work moving forward. My friend Heidi recently shared something that had me in total agreement. She wrote, "One of my latest deal-with-reality moments is acknowledging I’m wasting way too much time in the bottomless depth of Instagram and its algorithm. Eat more protein! Save this dog! Anti-aging tips! Cute donkeys! Improve your golf swing! Hey, I’m the first to admit I’ve learned some great tips through social media and value it for that. But I do realize that what on the surface is masked as self-improvement or entertainment can become a big time-waster. So that’s it. I’m taking my time back. It’s time to be present and live my life instead of endlessly half-absorbing how to improve it through IG reels." Can you relate? AND NOW, ON TO THE FAVORITESClick here to see all of the Weekend Favorites (including: The hidden cost of "someday clutter," 10 things neurologists wish you would do for your brain and a 7-day clutter cleanse).

Weekend Wisdom:I don't know who needs to hear this but you are allowed to say, "no" even when you aren't busy. I saw some baby animals this week and I must have said, "You are so cute!" 300 times. It seems like the most exciting thing I shared last week was that I ate a strawberry-arugula salad. I got lots of requests for the recipe and as you can imagine it is the simplest thing. Mix baby arugula with sliced strawberries and a little Italian dressing (or olive oil and lemon juice, salt and...
Hello Reader, Sentimental clutter is a category of clutter I avoided for years. Decluttering comes in waves and stages and layers.

You'll find answers to questions like: How do I let go of my wedding dress? What about gifts? Is it disrespectful to let go of someone's things after they die?

Hello Reader, We've all been impacted by the effects of stress and excess. Some of us notice and make immediate changes and for others (like me), we let it go on for too long thinking "it is what it is" until our bodies say, "enough is enough." Someone with multiple sclerosis once asked me, “How can I be healthier with MS?” After writing back with some suggestions, I realized you don’t need MS to benefit from these recommendations. If you feel like crap because you don't sleep well, or have...
