From Chaos to Peace with Conny

There is always an opportunity to go through and declutter regular decoration, but seasonal decoration like for example Easter Decorations, is a little special because you don’t have it displayed year-round in your house. When it’s packed away , chances are you will not pull out the boxes to go through it.

There are three good times to declutter seasonal decoration and I share what I do when I receive items as a gift or b...

I am not good with good byes and I am very sentimental, but does being sentimental mean we also have regrets? 

In this episode I am talking about how I had to let go of my beloved apartment back in 2003 when I wanted to go on a 6 months long trip to Canada. I talk about how regret can go both ways, we can regret having done something, but we can also regret not having done soemthing.

Today I want to share with you how I started my podcast and why that matters to you. 

It turns out that everything we want to do, including you becoming clutter-free, starts  with overcoming our fear and then taking some small, imperfect steps and, most importantly, realizing, that it's a journey and if we don't start the journey, we don't get anywhere.

Clutter is so much more than just the physical stuff. Our minds can be cluttered with old ideas and beliefs, and negative self-talk.

Mental and emotional clutter is often a new concept for people. Many don't realize that besides physical, paper, and digital clutter, there is also mental clutter and closely related emotional clutter.

Mental and emotional clutter is connected because what we think determines h...

By understanding yourself better and why you are doing what you are doing, or most likely why you are not doing what you want to be doing, you can stop judging and beating yourself up and have compassion for yourself. 

Your brain looks at decluttering (or achieving any other goal) as danger. In your brains point of view it's the opposite of seeking pleasure, avoiding pain and being efficient. But you don't use t...

Life has become so fast paced and full of instant gratification (hello Amazon same day delivery) and sound bites like "3 simple steps to succeed in xyz without any effort" that we actually think this is how everything should work. And if it's not then it must not be the right solution.

Overnight, instant gratification and radical change is what we want but often can't handle. It can feel very uncomfort...

A lot of times people cling to their stuff because letting go would make them feel sad, but what if that's not a bad thing?

In my opinion we can't avoid sadness so we better learn to live with it. Most people think we are either happy or sad, we either feel joy or grief, it's either a yes or a no. But Life isn't black or white, good or bad, positive or negative, happy or sad, life is always both.

Have you set resolutions for the New Year, or Intentions, but you feel you are not yet ready to push ahead? I am not surprised, nature is still hibernating and in addition Mars and Mercury are both retrograde right now.

This energy calls for slowing down, for introspection, and for letting go and finishing up not starting new.

Living a life of self-love also means to listen to our body and the energies around us...

With more I don't necessarily mean more stuff instead what I mean is do more, plan to achieve more, that kind of more.

This enemy has derailed me this year you will hear the story and what I then learned is that it's common, that I am not alone getting derailed by the enemy of more.

So before you start planning for 2023, or setting intentions and resolutions, fleshing out your goals, listen to this epis...

Have you ever considered what the experience is for a blind person to visit your website or your brick-and-mortar business?

The third category of clutter is anything unfinished  and with 2022 coming to an end a good approach is to finish things up so we don't drag them into the new year.

Science came to the conclusion that we remember uncompleted goals and projects way better than completed ones. We all know that feeling of how something unfinished is eating away at us, how it's a heavy weight that is pulling us down or can keep us s...

I am celebrating not just the 150th episode but also 1000 days of publishing podcast episodes. I talk about the ups and downs of any project, whether it has to do with podcasting or clearing clutter. We are often very enthusiastic and motivated in the beginning but it seldom stays that way. Most of the time it's important to keep going and sometimes it might be time to let something go.
