Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Feeling like you need a little motivation or a quick
tip to get you going.
Each week, and between fullepisodes, I will share short
clips on a certain topic.
This is a great way to getinspired for the day.
Enjoy this quick burst ofmotivation.
Okay, so today I want to talkabout decluttering your mind so
that you can reduce some stress.
This is something that is supersimple to do and it's going to

(00:22):
make a huge difference in yourlife.
So I want to give you some tips, but I also want to share with
you why it's important todeclutter your mind, because,
just like your physicalenvironment, it's important to
clean things up and put thingsaway and prioritize.
So, just like in your home,maybe you don't want to just
leave things around to pile up,because then you'll just end up

(00:46):
on TLC in that hoarding show.
So the same thing goes for yourmind.
It will manifest physically.
So that will look like stress,it will look like mood swings,
it will look like a whole bunchof different things, and we want
to avoid that.
So I want to give you somequick tips on how to do that.
So how do you declutter yourmind?

(01:09):
One of my best tips is creatinghabits.
This is what's going to createkind of long term decluttering
of your mind.
So habits is creating a routineso that you have space for
other thoughts that you have topay a little bit more close
attention to.
So creating habits could be aworkout, right, because if you
have a workout routine, youdon't really have to think about

(01:30):
it.
It's something that you don'thave to worry about.
So you don't have to say everyday oh man, I didn't get a
chance to work out, so that'sconstantly sometimes playing in
the back of your mind.
That could be weighing you down.
So there's a lot of differenthabits that you can create right
, but the more habits that youhave, the better.

(01:50):
My next tip is having a planneror a journal to write things
down.
This is huge.
This is something that hashelped me so much.
It's a way for you to putthings down on paper, and the
biggest benefit of this for mehas been just not forgetting
things and jotting things downand really bringing things to my

(02:15):
conscious mind or bringing themup to the surface so that I can
be more aware of some of thethings that I'm doing.
But it's also a way for me tomake sure that things get done,
because I love checklist and Ilove to have a list to go by
every day, and having a plannerhas helped me with that.

(02:37):
But also having a journal.
You probably have many, manythoughts of just things that are
you know you're worried about,you have anxiety around.
Having a journal is reallytherapeutic and it can help you
with some of those thoughts thatare just in the back of your
mind that are weighing you down.
My next tip is to be proactiveGetting things done when you

(03:02):
have the most energy so that wayyou don't have to think about
it when you don't have so muchenergy.
My last tip is to protect yourthoughts.
We have thoughts that we'resometimes not even aware of.
We have limiting beliefs, andall of that is causing some
issues in our lives sometimes.
So just being aware of thosethoughts and bringing them up to

(03:26):
the surface and dealing withthem is a great way to help
declutter your mind and reallygo through maybe even a healing
process if there are some reallydeep thoughts, and therapy can
also help with this.
So if you have some things thatyou just can't deal with on your
own, I highly recommend seekinghelp with a therapist, and my

(03:49):
bonus tip is prioritizing sleep.
When we're sleeping, our braindoes not shut off.
Our brain never shuts off.
So when we're physically asleep, our brain is trying to figure
out what the heck happenedduring the day or trying to
solve some problems.
So giving your body some restand giving your brain the

(04:12):
ability to do its magic willhelp you so much.
Alright, have a challenge foryou.
Try at least one of these tipsthat I gave you today.
I'd love to hear from you.
