    Quotes to ponder:

    "To allow a negative emotion means to feel it without resistance."

    "When you aren’t living in a state of resistance, when you’re flowing and allowing things to be as they are (even if you’re gently pursuing something more appealing), of course it’s a form of peace."

    "Remember there’s nothing wrong with desiring and pursuing certain outcomes, it’s human nature."

    Quotes to ponder:

    "You're riding the bicycle up the hill all the time. In life, everything in life wants you to decay, to be subjugated, to be violated, to be tired, to become a ghost, to roll back down the hill just when you thought you were close to the top."

    "A little bit every day compounds. A little push today turns into a big life tomorrow."

    "Give first, then receive. It works."

    Episode 4067:

    Courtney Carver explains that there is no single perfect method for simplifying your life, the best approach is the one that fits your personality, habits, and circumstances. She shares ten practical ways to build momentum, from creating a clutter-free sanctuary and decluttering your mornings to unplugging from information overload and letting go of sentimental items with intention, helping you make progress with less struggle and more ease.

    Read along with the original article(s) here: https://bemorewithless.com/declutter-your-life/

    Quotes to ponder:

    "The best way is the way that works best for you because we each learn differently, approach change in our own way, and have unique methods to our madness."

    "Once you limit the amount of information and streamline when and where it's coming from, schedule blocks of information-free time. A few hours a day, a full day a week to unplug gives your mind chance to recover and reset."

    "You'll feel less scattered and more focused all day long when you give yourself time first."
