With the new year comes a new surge of energy for me to GET MY LIFE IN ORDER! My kids always laugh at me when I get these bursts of motivation because they never last. They roll their eyes and humor me as I declare plans to declutter our home and patiently wait for my resolve to fizzle. Is this cycle familiar to you too? Well, if so, you're in for a treat. I truly believe that with some mindset shifts and a deeper commitment to our WHY for decluttering our homes, this can be the year that decluttering actually sticks.  My guest today, Erica Layne from The Life on Purpose Movement, believes this too. On this week's episode, Erica will share: - The simple mindset shift that can make it easier to "get to work" when you're feeling overwhelmed by your messy house.  - What clutter does (and does NOT) say about you.  - The best way to approach decluttering with sentimental items. Are you ready to start the decluttering process and follow through this time? Let's do this!

Today I chat with Erica of the Life on Purpose Movement about realistic minimalism and how minimalism can benefit everyone- but it isn't one size fits all.

Summary:  On this episode of the Act To Live Podcast, Jaime starts about the episode by talking about a quote that she recently saw on Instagram. The quote, by Erica Layne, brings up the idea of saying ‘NO' to things that drain your energy and ‘YES' to things that fill you up. Scott and Jaime then discuss the concept of saying ‘NO' - something that both of them struggle with at times. The duo then talks about some of the research that exists behind the difficulty and worry associated with saying ‘NO,' as well as some of the benefits of learning to say ‘NO.' Scott wraps up the episode by sharing some questions we can ask ourselves when we are stuck in those moments of indecision - somewhere between ‘YES' and ‘NO.'  ACTion Event of the Week: When you find yourself struggling with whether to say ‘YES' or ‘NO' to something, try asking yourself some of the questions below.  Will saying yes prevent me from focusing on something that's more important? Does this potential project, opportunity, or activity align with my values, beliefs, and goals? What are my core values, beliefs, and current goals? Will saying yes make me even more tired or burnt out? Will saying yes be good for my mental health? Or will it worsen my symptoms? In the past, when have I said yes and then ended up regretting it? Join us on the next episode of the Act To Live Podcast as we explore the concept of home.  References: Guha, A. (2021).

It's stressful; it's expensive; it's bad for the environment; it's bad for the soul; and it's VERY hard to get rid of. No, not the Trump Administration (or bedbugs): I'm referring to clutter. We explore the problem with true confessions by me, an article by Erica Layne, remarks by environmentalist Lloyd Alter, and music by Chumbawamba.

Notice the title of this episode isn't how to gain confidence, it's how to strengthen yours. That means you already have it, and if you're doubting that then you just need to uncover it. If you're basing your confidence just on the surface, then you're not really living up to your fullest potential. Wherever you fall, the episode will teach you how to progress. Arielle Estoria is a creator, writer, and speaker spreading light and positivity. She was also a self described "professional wallflower" for many years. Her description of not wanting to take up too much space may resonate with many of you, as it totally did for me. She details how she broke free of that mentality, giving herself permission and gaining the confidence she feels is her gift to share with others. It's time to recognize the power and gifts you already have, and step into the power they hold. If this feels too vulnerable, that's normal. Arielle has just two steps you can take to "dream it out" and start living the life you've been given. About a few other things...

I mentioned in this month's introduction episode, that your habits are neutral. It's worth a short solo episode explaining what that really means and how it can help you grow. You should feel some relief, you don't need to dramatically, or painfully, change your habits. You can, however, shift your views, to align with your values, and therefore shape your habits. Remove that familiar all-or-nothing way of viewing your habits, because when we moralize our habits we moralize ourselves. You are not inherently good or bad because of a helpful or unhelpful habit that you have. I want to encourage a more positive, and productive, way of viewing your habits. Of course I'm sharing exactly what this looks like in my life with things like eating habits and social media usage. As you listen you may identify your own views on habits you have, so I'm telling you the exact rephrasing I use to separate my worth from my actions. There are a few other simple tips I have, but ultimately hope that by listening you can achieve more self-compassion. About a few other things...

Do you want to know the most pivotal piece of advice a therapist ever shared with me? As I was finally seeking treatment after struggling for years with my eating disorder I was told this: you will deal with this forever. And I was actually relieved! I explain further in the episode, along with our mental-health-therapist guest, on the ways to better cope with your mental health struggles. Kimberley Quinlan is a mother, business owner, therapist, and podcaster. She also, somewhat uniquely, self discloses the mental health struggles she has learned to live with. With a specialty in obsessive compulsive disorder and other anxiety disorders, Kimberley has a strong and soothing approach. Her motto is "It's a beautiful day to do hard things." There are 3 main things we want listeners to learn from this episode, but in addition to those concrete steps you will feel empowered and able. As we focus this month on being healthy, not getting healthy, you'll understand the strength and resilience you possess because of mental health struggles.

Today I am a mother of a 6 year old. Tomorrow, I will be the mother of a 7 year old. Yes... tomorrow my son, Levi, turns 7 and I feel like my little baby boy is growing up way too fast! For last week's episode of Life Made Simple I shared with you how crazy busy my life has been this summer. And I have to be honest, my son's birthday tomorrow is becoming a real eye opener for me. I know it's a cliché, but life is short. And sometimes when life gets crazy busy it's easy to rush through it all forgetting about the little things in life that make it worth living. As you know, I'm on a quest to simplify my life. Like I always say, I want to focus on what really matters and somehow let go of the rest. And for my husband and I, our son is what really matters. I want to soak up every little moment of these few precious years of his childhood. Because one day they will be gone and he'll be an adult... I am so desperate to wrap up every special moment and hang on to them forever! On this episode of Life Made Simple, I go over a list with you that I stumbled across a few months ago on a blog written by Erica Layne. I love it so much and have read it many times to myself. "32 Ways To Savor Your Children While You Have Them" (by Erica Layne) Watch them when they sleep. Inhale them after they bathe. Steal some extra time brushing your child’s hair. She says (A wet brush is a must!) Keep on brushing it straight through the teen years. Read the heartfelt things your kids write about you and let them sink in. (When our kids give us valentines or birthday cards, are we really taking their words in? It’s time to start.) Break a personal parenting rule or two. Be silly. Sing at the top of your lungs in the car, dance in the grocery store, pull a harmless prank. Let them climb into bed with you (sometimes). Don’t round UP on their ages. She says, even if your child turns 7 in two months, keep thinking of him as 6. There’s need to hurry childhood along, right? Fill your home with photos of them. Practice living simply so your mind is clearer, which—in my case—helps me experience more moments as they come. See your children through a camera lens. Capture not just their milestones but the scenes you see every single day. Choose one thing you can accept, rather than tolerate. Letting go can alleviate so much agitation. When they’re hurting, try to place yourself in a similar situation from your past and really remember what it felt like to be where they are. Prop your phone camera up and use the time lapse feature to record a family meal or a homework session. Looking at it later will help you appreciate the beautiful chaos of raising children. Watch them closely when their minds are fully engaged in something they love. Do something for you. Often. “You can’t pour from an empty cup.” Climb under some blankets and read to them. (And for those moments, choose not to let it bother you when you get sat on and accidentally elbowed a dozen times during your reading session.) Get rid of guilt. It’s clouding your view. Regularly take some time to remember your childhood. It’ll help you better appreciate theirs. Claim for yourself and your family a distraction-free block of time. A morning with your laptop closed, an afternoon away from your phone… you get the idea. Figure out and focus on what and who really matters to you. Make it your goal for a day to double the amount of eye contact you have with your children. When you pack away a size of clothing your child has outgrown, make a little ritual of remembering this last stage and how quickly it passed. Take more video footage! Build yourself a supportive village. Not a lot of “savoring” goes on when you’re parenting on an island (because Too much energy is going to survival). Organize some one-on-one dates with your children. If your child is old enough to text, take screen shots of cute text conversations you exchange. If hurrying makes you agitated, try building more free space into your schedule so you don’t have to rush so much between activities. Snuggle up with them for movie time. We do that a lot in our house. Listen. Experience something new with them—something they’ve never seen.   Links Mentioned in this Show: Episode #63: You Need More Margin Time (CarlaRae Confesses)   Share this Episode: CarlaRaeArneson.com/episode95 Share this Podcast: LifeMadeSimplePodcast.com   Simplicity University: SimplicityU.com   Free Guide:  "9 Ways to Simplify Your Life" Or send a text to 44222 with the word 9SIMPLIFY   Free Download: "5 Steps to Organizing Your Home"

If you had to sum up your family in one phrase, what would it be? How would someone on the outside describe your family? Is that the way you want people to describe you? Today I'm talking to Erica Layne about crafting a family purpose statement. We talk about how to distill your unique family values down into a statement that you can teach to you kids. But it's so much more than a cute saying or a family catch phrase. A family purpose statement can help you make decisions about what activities you will participate in, what job opportunities to explore, and how you'll spend your money. Just like in a corporation, when everyone knows your purpose and what direction you are headed in, everything that falls outside of that can be eliminated without guilt. Enjoy the show!
