In this episode, I’m sharing The Life Edit Blueprint — a positive psychology–based guide to simplifying your life so you can feel lighter, clearer, and more intentional. Ask yourself: “What’s one thing I can subtract this week to feel freer, clearer, and more energized?”

🧠 Mind – Edit Your Thoughts

  • Stop pouring energy into limiting beliefs & what you can’t control.
  • Reframe rumination into growth-focused thinking.
  • Research: Rumination is linked to higher anxiety and depression (Nolen-Hoeksema, 2000).

⏰ Time – Audit Your Schedule

  • Highlight what aligns with your values vs. what’s just “busyness.”
  • Research: Harvard Business Review (2018) found “time poverty” leads to higher stress, lower life satisfaction, and poorer health.

⚡ Energy – Audit Your Energy, Not Just Your To-Do List

  • Identify green-light (energizing) vs. red-light (draining) activities.

🤝 Relationships – Simplify Your Social Circle

  • Quality over quantity. Invest in those who uplift you.
  • Research: The Harvard Study of Adult Development found strong relationships are the #1 predictor of health & happiness.

🏡 Environment – Clear Your Space

  • Less clutter = more calm. Even small edits free mental bandwidth.
  • Research: Clutter is linked to higher cortisol and stress (Saxbe & Repetti, 2010).

➖ Choices – Subtract Before You Add

  • Before saying yes, ask: What can I let go of to make space?
  • Research: People default to “adding” rather than subtracting (Klotz, 2021).

🌙 Closing Reflection: Editing your life isn’t about having less — it’s about making room for what matters most. 💡
