Everyday Happiness - Finding Harmony and Bliss
Education:Self-Improvement
Banishing the piles of paper and the clutter in favor of a more tidy space not only allows you to have more Intentional Margins®, it also promotes happiness.
Transcript:
Welcome to Everyday Happiness where we create lasting happiness, in 2-ish minutes a day, through my signature method of Intentional Margins® (creating harmony between your to-dos and your priorities), happiness science, and musings about life.
I'm your host Katie Jefcoat and yesterday we talked about our surroundings and how they contribute to our happiness. When our surroundings are less cluttered, we feel calm. When we feel calm we are contributing positively to our mental health. Let’s be real. When I’m not calm it feels like a squirrel with ADD in my brain. That does not feel like happiness. Like fulfilled happiness. It feels overwhelming. When I am sitting in a cluttered office or the kitchen counter has a stack of mail from the last few weeks - oh yeah, I’ve been there - it feels overwhelming. And that doesn’t make me feel all the happy vibes. So our surroundings matter. Come on. You know this. You know the feeling when your house is clean. Or, my favorite, when you walk into a hotel room - it’s pristine. No stuff - until you unpack - but that’s a different episode.
I always say, randomness causes overwhelm. If you don’t know exactly how you are going to process your mail, if you don’t have a system or a habit, it feels hard every time. And you know what our brains do when something feels hard. They push it aside and say “not today”. Yeah - that’s how we end up with piles of paper.
This is why my dear friend C Lee started helping people cleanse. Cleanse the paper. Banish the piles with her super simple KARMA system. So that we can get back that time, create Intentional Margins to focus on what matters most. Isn’t that what we all want? To spend less time dealing with paper and more time living in our Intentional Margins? That’s what I want. Which is why I am proud to share this quick course with you - so that you can have a little more time confetti in your day and reduce your stress, because you won’t be looking at piles of paper that need your attention.
When we clear our physical space, it is beneficial to our well-being. Moreover, “Fresh air and sunshine make us happier and healthier. A bright room can boost your mood and decrease depression and anxiety.“
We have the tools to clear the clutter and refresh our spaces. If sorting paper is something you want to tackle, you can click on the show notes for the Everyday Happiness link that directs you to the course to learn more. I’ll see you there. And in the meantime, open the windows and let the sunshine in. Until next time, remember, Kindness is contagious.
