Erica joins this week's podcast, and we discuss the concept of simple joys and the importance and value of recognizing and appreciating simple joys in our lives. When we find glimmers of joy in our everyday lives, we’re less dependent on the dopamine hint from buying new things, and we’re better able to appreciate what we already have. We discuss the importance of mindfulness, being present, gratitude, and how to find more joy in our lives. We also dig into using this energy to declutter, and the concepts of death cleaning and our new term, mid-life cleaning. And we share a detailed list of questions to ask yourself while decluttering.
