This week on Breathe, we’re talking about something that might be stealing your joy without you even realizing it: visual and emotional clutter.
If your environment feels messy, your mind might feel the same way — scattered, overwhelmed, or stuck in old patterns.
In this episode, Bonnie shares a surprising story of how one painful moment helped her realize that healing sometimes starts with what you remove — not just what you add.
Key Takeaways:
How your brain uses visual cues to form habits (both good and bad)
The neuroscience of why clutter creates stress and how to reset your mind
Why your environment matters when building new rhythms of rest and joy
A simple soul care practice called the “Summer Soul Toss” to refresh your space — and your spirit
Breath Prayer:
Inhale: Your steadfast love never ceases.
Exhale: Your mercies are new every morning.
Today's Scripture to Write on Your Heart:
“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning.” - Lamentations 3:22–23
Plus, Bonnie shares a sneak peek of something special coming next week — a new course designed to help you turn soul care into joyful action, with a bonus tool to help your body release serotonin and feel calm and renewed.
