Podcasts about 'the life changing magic

Are you the kind of person who needs a pristine, orderly environment for you to feel relaxed? Or perhaps being surrounded by your clutter isn't a big deal – it might even bring you comfort. 'Professional organisers', who help people declutter their space, have grown in popularity in recent years, particularly on the internet. But does shedding your possessions always make you happier? Or, does clutter matter? 您是那种需要原始，有序的环境以使您感到放松的人吗？也许被您的混乱包围并不是什么大问题 - 甚至可能为您带来安慰。帮助人们整理空间的“专业组织者”近年来越来越受欢迎，尤其是在互联网上。但是，放弃您的财产总是会让您更快乐？还是杂物很重要？ Living in a messy space can have various negative effects on our lives. For example, a study called 'No Place Like Home' by Repetti and Saxbe, found that mothers with messy homes had higher levels of the stress hormone cortisol and an increased depressed mood throughout the day. Messy homes can also make it harder to fall asleep, according to the 2021 study 'The association between sleep and late life hoarding', and no one wants that! 生活在一个混乱的空间中会对我们的生活产生各种负面影响。例如，一项名为Repetti和Saxbe的名为“ No Toble Home”的研究发现，拥有凌乱的房屋的母亲的压力激素皮质醇水平更高，并且全天的情绪降低。根据2021年的研究“睡眠与晚期ho积之间的关联”，杂乱无章的房屋也很难入睡，没有人想要！ So perhaps Marie Kondo, author of 'The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying', was on to something when she said, "tidying can transform your life". To achieve Kondo's style of minimalism, she recommends gathering all your things together, choosing which items 'spark joy' and then discarding the rest. Some may find it invigorating to begin again on a clean slate, while others, particularly extreme hoarders, can find the process anxiety-inducing, because of an attachment to their belongings. 因此，也许玛丽·昆多（Marie Kondo）是《整洁生活的魔法》的作者，他说：“整理可以改变您的生活”。为了实现Kondo的极简主义风格，她建议将所有的东西聚集在一起，选择哪些项目“ Spark Joy”，然后丢弃其余的东西。有些人可能会发现重新开始以干净的板岩开始令人振奋，而另一些人，尤其是极端ho积者，由于对物品的依恋，可以找到引起焦虑的过程。 Then there are those who simply enjoy collecting. Vintage style expert Kate Beavis has a home filled with handbags, toys, phones and cookware from the 1960s. Others may call this clutter, but she argues that minimalist homes are "boring and bland". Some items may not have a practical use, but instead hold sentimental value, and spark joy in a nostalgic way. And things that "evoke happy memories are valuable, especially to people with memory problems," says Chris Stiff, senior lecturer in psychology at Keele University. 然后有些人只是喜欢收集。复古风格的专家凯特·比维斯（Kate Beavis）拥有一个房屋，里面有1960年代的手袋，玩具，电话和炊具。其他人可能会称这个混乱，但她认为极简主义的房屋“无聊而平淡”。有些项目可能没有实际用途，而是具有感性的价值，并以怀旧的方式引发喜悦。Keele大学心理学高级讲师Chris Stiff说，“唤起人们的回忆唤起幸福的回忆是有价值的，尤其是对记忆问题的人来说都是有价值的。”Maybe a giant mess isn't all bad. And as Albert Einstein once said, "If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk a sign?" 也许巨大的烂摊子并不是全部不好。正如阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦（Albert Einstein）曾经说过的那样：“如果杂乱无章的桌子是杂乱无章的迹象，那么什么是空的桌子呢？”词汇表pristine 整洁的，崭新的orderly 井然有序的clutter 杂乱的东西declutter 清理，整理shed 丢弃possession 所有物messy 脏乱的，不整洁的cortisol 皮质醇hoarding 囤积tidy 整理，使…整洁on to something 发现某事的真相minimalism 极简主义spark joy 激发快乐，引起愉悦discard 丢弃invigorating 令人充满活力的clean slate 一张白纸，比喻崭新的开始hoarder 喜欢囤积东西的人collecting 收集，收藏sentimental value 情感价值nostalgic 怀旧的

There is so much power to transform your life (including finding your calling), by transforming the space you live in, and creating space for change in your life. I have experienced it so often that when I clear things out, not only do I feel so much better, but I notice big changes happen in my life as a result . So whenever I feel like big change is brewing in my life, but I don't exactly know what it looks like and what's about to happen, I get busy clearing things in my home. I consider it clearing things out of my past in order to make room for what's about to come in. In this episode, I share some of the dramatic ways change has happened in my life and career after big clearings. So whenever you stand at your own crossroads, consider, what do you need to let go of to move forwards? I also share my top tips to tackle things in your own home and life so you can experience the impact of creating space for change. It's not just decluttering, but also organising, completing and clearing things at home and work. Get to those projects and jobs you've been meaning to do and either get them done or delegate them to cross them off your list. Then pay attention to what flows in as a result.

What is nonviolent communication, and could it be violent in the wrong form? Was Dr. Bragg's championing of apple cider vinegar as a health elixir quackery or visionary? And you've likely heard of Marie Kondo's book, 'The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up'–how does tidying up actually relate to personal health and wellness? 01:51 - Nonviolent Communication 18:05 - Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar 28:05 - Marie Kondo 39:10 - Outro /// Music by Ilithios + El Jezel /// Produced by Stereoactive Media

Voor deze aflevering is geen gastin uitgenodigd, maar Susannah geeft haar tips voor boek, beeld, geluid en algeheel inspirerende vrouwen, met aan het eind nog een paar shoot-outs naar gave wijven die haar leven onlangs nog een beetje beter hebben gemaakt. Het boek 'Thrive: The Third Metric to Redifining Success and Creating a Life of Well-being, Wisdom and Wonder' van Ariana Huffington is te koop bij de grote online boekhandels en de kleine boekhandel bij jou om de hoek die zijn stinkende best doet om te overleven. Bombshell draait op het moment in geen enkele bioscoop in Nederland (want alle bioscopen zijn dicht, maar daarvoor draaide hij ook niet meer), dus het wordt even wachten tot hij online beschikbaar komt. Maar geduld is een schone zaak, dus dat scheelt. Rihanna is op Instagram @badgalriri. De foto's van Rihanna met een glas wijn in haar hand kun je hier zien. Sarah Knight is op Instagram te vinden als @mcsnugz, en ook haar boeken zijn overal te koop. Ik zou beginnen met 'The Life Changing Magic of Not Giving a F*ck' en 'Het You Shi*t Together', als je daarna zin hebt in meer zijn er nog 4 of 5 boeken. Cora Kemperman als bedrijf is inmiddels dicht. Op de sample sale heb ik Cora Zelf ontmoet, en het was prachtig. Het Instagram-account @corakemperman is nog actief, maar ik weet niet hoe lang nog. Ik heb in elk geval een voorraad ingeslagen die mij tot mijn pensioen aangekleed gaat houden.

Welcome to The Craft Room. Today let's talk about the thing that everyeone seems to be talking about ... decluttering.  it really does feel like everybody is talking about declulttering at the moment (minimalism would be a close second), so let's go there today, specifically in relation to craft stuff. Now if you haven't heard of Marie Kondo, she is a Japanese professional organiser.  Her book, 'The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering & Organising', is a New York Times best seller.  She even has a series on Netflix! She has brought decluttering into mainstream conversation, but she is one of thousands of professional organisers world wide.  The rise of organising as a profession can really only mean one thing ... too many people have too much stuff, and need help to get it sorted. LINKS FlyLady - http://www.flylady.net/ Organize 365 - https://organize365.com/ Marie Kondo - https://konmari.com/ My blog post for this episode - https://dawnlewis.com.au/podcast-episode-7-should-you-kondo-your-craft/ In episode 6 I talked about tidying up / decluttering as a way to get your crafting mojo back. Regardless of whether prefer to work in a neat environment or one with all your supplies on display, a good tidy up to get your supplies organised has serious benefits. 1. Time - We waste an enormous amount of time looking for things.  Being able to find what you need straight away means more time crafting and less wasted time looking. 2. Space - At some point we all hit capacity when it comes to craft supply storage.  If we continue to accumulate supplies faster than we can use them, then we're going to end up with a bit of craft chaos. Removing old, unwanted, unloved and damaged supplies creates space for new goodies we can't wait to use. 3. Treasure - I always say that organising your craft supplies is like a treasure hunt.  You find things you thought were lost, that you forgot you had, or a stockpile of staples that will save you a trip to the store later. It can spark ideas for new projects, and unearth old projects you can't wait to finish. 4. Trash - The flip side to the 'treasure' coin is trash. Chances are that there are dried up paint tubes, brushes with solid bristles, empty packages, moth-eaten yarn or damaged supplies in your stash.  Moving out the trash means more room for the treasure. Identifying how craft supplies came into your house can be helpful in the decluttering decision making process.  I can think of 8 ways that craft stuff comes into my home. 1. Consumables - I bought this because it's something I always use. 2. Project -  I bought this with a particular project in mind. 3. Stash building  - I bought this because I like to work late at night and would like a variety of supplies to choose from. 4. You love it - I bought this because I loved it so much I couldn't bear to leave it behind. 5. It was on sale - I bought this because it was marked way down in the bargain bin, and too good a price to pass up. 6. Gifts - I was given this as a gift. 7. Swaps - I received this when I partcipated in a swap. 8. Freebies - I got this for free (on the cover of a magazine, in a goodie bag at the craft show, when I was on a design team). Identifying how an item came to be in your stash can help you make decisions about whether it needs to stay or go.  The Kondo method has you hold each item and ask yourself if it sparks joy.  Honestly, if I were to do that with my craft supplies it would take years.  So ... I have some other questions you can ask yourself that may help you decide if something stays or goes. 1. Does it spark joy? 2. Am I really going to use this? 3. Can I think of a use for this? 4. Is this still my style? 5. Is this in good enough condition to use? 6. Can I keep part and donate the rest? 7. Did I put this in the 'donate' pile, then feel sad? (kind of the flip side question to #1). 8. Is there a reason I haven't used this already? 9. If my house burned down, would I miss this?  Would I replace it? And while we're at it, let's dispel a couple of myths about decluttering and minimalism. 1. The point is not to get rid of everything ... just the items that you no longer need, love or use. 2. A professional organiser will not force you to get rid of things that you love. 3. Everybody is different, therefore there is no one single solution or rule that will work for everyone.
