    Do you feel out of control in life? Do you ever wonder what’s keeping you from achieving your goals? Do you struggle to say NO, or to find the time to do the things that are important to you? Do you want to eat better but just can’t seem to do so? Do you want to exercise or clean but can’t seem to get off the couch? You’re not alone! Many of us living with Multiple Sclerosis experience overwhelm, debilitating fatigue and mood disorders, and also struggle with apathy and the ability to implement behavior change to get ourselves to a place of better health. Today, we’ll learn about the importance of developing strong self-regulation, how to develop strong self-regulation skills, and the role self-regulation plays in our ability to live well with MS.patreon.com/MSflock [email protected] IG: @MyMSFlock

  • EPISODE 73 - Transforming our Health through Conscientious Consumerism and the May Decluttering Challenge
    In honor of Earth Day this week, I’m joined by Dr. Susan Payrovi to discuss the connection between our health - both physical & mental - and clutter! We’ll share about our recent February Clear experience, important ways our health and the health of our planet are deeply connected, how to claim and reclaim items we already have, yet aren’t really using, how to clear the excess items that we really don’t need, and how to cut down on all extraneous consumerism through our upcoming May Decluttering & Buy Nothing challenge. You’ll also learn some fascinating statistics around clutter, and why we, as a society, struggle with it so much!
