Declutter Your Chaos - Mindful Minimalism

181 | How and When to Say Goodbye to Sentimental Items When Decluttering | How to Declutter Meaningful Memorabilia Jul 18, 2024

Show notes

Hi Friends! In this episode I talk about a client who I worked with who let go of a lifetime of memories and did NOT regret it. The biggest take away from this episode is that it is normal to feel sad when letting go of items that were meaningful, but you still won't regret it. It's okay to feel the sadness because it's a loss. But when you open up your space you allow yourself to grow, and that's what we all want - that's what makes us feel good - growth.

180 | Clutter Makes Us Fat, Tired and Stupid | How Our Clutter Contributes to Our Stress Jul 16, 2024

Show notes

Hi Guys!

In this episode I talk about how clutter creates stress. This elevated stress is not noticable to us on a day to day basis, but inside our bodies it is taking its toll. It is making us eat mindlessly, become lethargic, and make decreases our ability to focus. We are paying a very high price for our clutter and we don't even realize it. But it is something we can control, so we should.

179 | Why Can't I Keep My House Clean? | Why Am I Messy? Jul 11, 2024

Show notes

Hi Guys,

In this episode I talk about three things we tend to do that keep us messy.

We identify as being messy
Our perfectionism stops us from starting
We blame not having enough time

I hope that you are able to shift your mindset to focus on being organized, doing it imperfectly, and having an abundance of time.

177 | A Framework To Use For Your Decluttering Project | How to Start Decluttering a Room Jul 04, 2024

Show notes

Hi Guys!

In this episode I share about how to approach decluttering and then I walk you through a decluttering session. Declutter by room, rather than by category, but use the following sections to keep you focused:

Keep - Stuff you need

Keep - Sentimental items

Eliminate-Trash

Eliminate-Stuff not not needed in this season of life

Eliminate-Stuff not good enough for you

Also, use the AMBER method so you don't get overwhelmed during decluttering.

Hope this helps!

176 | The One Thing You Should NEVER Declutter Jul 02, 2024

Show notes

Hi Guys!

In this episode I talk about how women are conditioned to give their power away. We do it all the time - we don't mean to - but it is ingrained in us. We are taught to be nice, and pretty, and quiet... not to be powerful. I'm hoping that this episode will give some awareness of this tendency and help you (and me) remember how powerful we are.

PS: Also, you don't need to declutter photos. The memories are worth the space.

174 | The Steps to Eliminate Items From Your House Jun 20, 2024

Show notes

Hi Guys!

In this episode I talk about the fourth step in the Amber Method, which is to eliminate the items from your home. This is the actual "decluttering" step. The Amber Method is A for Assess, M for Manifest, B for Breathe, E for Eliminate, and R for Receive. The most important thing to remember during this step is to stay out of your head. You can do this by using strategies that activate your prefrontal cortex: make the project about numbers, a specific space, or focus on a specific category. Similar to Mel Robbins' Five Second Rule, when she says 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, and take action.

Imagine that your clutter is little pieces of your stress and anxiety that you are literally removing from your life.

Hope this episode helps you and don't hesitate to reach out amber@declutteryourchaos.com
