Declutter With Talia

What do you ✨pay✨ attention to?

Have you ever heard the phrase “what you focus on expands?”

OR

“Taking up space rent-free in your head?”

Both of these allude to the fact that our attention is, arguably, our most valuable asset (it is how we create reality, after all!), AND that the space inside our heads is the MOST SOUGHT AFTER real estate.

Do you manage your “property” well?

Here are some tips on how to be a better steward of your mental space, and declutter the most potent force you have—your attention!

🪄 Meditate. This has been a dominant subject in personal growth, spiritual, and life hack circles for awhile. Why? Because it works! Meditation is like doing the dishes—think of how quickly your sink would fill up if you never took the time to wash them. Our minds are the same.

🪄 Budget media breaks into your daily/weekly schedule. This one is so important in our over-saturated world. Give yourself 1-2 days a week, or block out a window of time every day to be media-free. Your energy will thank you.

🪄 Notice your thoughts. Science suggests we think at least 6K thoughts a day. How many are you aware of and choosing consciously?

Remember-

Thoughts -> Emotions -> Actions -> ✨Reality✨

Start to notice thought cycles and patterns and decide if they are creating the life you want.

🪄 Actively disengage from people/places/things that compromise your valuable attention. YOU get to decide who or what you spend it on. Responsibility = Power.

Declutter your mental space and watch your life shift in magical ways!

Digital Decluttering:

✨Email Cleanse✨

When was the last time you sat down to delete every unnecessary email?

When doing this cleanse I like to start with the easiest first (spam, for example).

Then promotions, and finally to the main inbox where it might take more time and focus.

It is definitely worth taking the time to unsubscribe from accounts you no longer wish to receive mail from, and curate your folders to be as efficient as possible.

Your future self will thank you! 🙏🏽

Think of what you can do with all that extra time—instead of checking and deleting 100’s of unnecessary emails every day!!

Space clearing in the digital age includes a throughly cleansed email inbox ✔️

Two things to ask:

✔️what is the FEELING?
✔️what is the FUNCTION?

Does the item/object/pattern elicit excitement, joy, peace, comfort, etc.?

Does it serve a valuable purpose and make your life easier?

If not—why are you holding onto it?

Get curious!

We are creatures of habit…but a habit can always be changed, when infused with AWARENESS and CHOICE.

✨Feel✨ your way into freedom.

✨The external world is a reflection of the internal world.✨

Said another way, the physical is a mirror of the mental.

Or as the ancients and mystics say, “as above so below.”

The mundane is the Divine made manifest.

Our environments not only impact how we feel—they reflect it. Our homes are a direct reflection of our mental and emotional states…does yours reflect sanity, serenity, and peace?

Declutter for your mental health, and for inner and outer clarity.

It is amazing what even a small shift in energy can do.

Space Clearing Tip #3:

✨Make it fun!✨

Decluttering does not have to be miserable, boring, or a chore.

It can be a fun and highly enjoyable process!

Some tricks to make it easier and more pleasurable:

🪄 Play music. Pick your favorite playlist, podcast, or audiobook and get in the mood!

Upbeat music works great, as does nostalgic music that will help you process the emotions of your era-based items…anything to keep it moving and get the vibe going 🙂

🪄 Enlist help. Refer to tip #2, call in a trusted friend or coach for support and second opinions.

Turn a hang out sesh into a productive event (or vice versa!).

🪄 Reward yourself for milestones in the process—finishing a category, a room, or at the end of the day.

Decluttering is a reward within itself, but adding a little treat helps affirm the accomplishment and boost dopamine (recognizing the completion of a task gives our brain a large dose of this feel-good chemical).

Any other tips or tricks you use to make a “chore” more fun?
