more mindful you.

22
00:00:49,135 --> 00:00:52,609
Get ready to chew on something truly transformative.

23
00:00:56,590 --> 00:00:59,604
Good morning, good afternoon, or good evening wherever

00:00:59,604 --> 00:01:02,104
you may be in this wide wonderful world.

25
00:01:02,484 --> 00:01:05,204
Welcome back to another episode of chew on

26
00:01:05,204 --> 00:01:06,025
this 365,

27
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,019
your daily bite of wisdom and wellness.

28
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,980
I am Tansy, your guide on this journey.

29
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,019
And today, we're gonna be exploring the transformative

30
00:01:15,424 --> 00:01:17,905
power of living with less. So come on

31
00:01:17,905 --> 00:01:19,825
in and get close and comfortable in our

32
00:01:19,825 --> 00:01:21,284
cozy part of the Internet.

33
00:01:21,665 --> 00:01:24,170
I do call our podcast home where the

34
00:01:24,170 --> 00:01:26,409
pot of tea is on and hot, and

35
00:01:26,409 --> 00:01:28,909
the topic of discussions are warm and insightful.

36
00:01:29,450 --> 00:01:31,530
As you begin to spend a few moments

37
00:01:31,530 --> 00:01:33,635
with me today, I do want you to

38
00:01:33,635 --> 00:01:35,475
go ahead and pour that soothing cup of

39
00:01:35,475 --> 00:01:36,375
herbal tea,

40
00:01:36,835 --> 00:01:38,674
because now we're gonna take a look at

41
00:01:38,674 --> 00:01:39,895
the question of today.

42
00:01:40,590 --> 00:01:42,530
What is one item or commitment

43
00:01:42,909 --> 00:01:44,909
you can let go of today to create

44
00:01:44,909 --> 00:01:47,650
more space and clarity in your life?

45
00:01:48,325 --> 00:01:50,165
If you will take a moment to reflect

46
00:01:50,165 --> 00:01:51,064
on this question,

47
00:01:51,605 --> 00:01:54,484
consider how letting go of this item or

48
00:01:54,484 --> 00:01:54,984
commitment

49
00:01:55,284 --> 00:01:56,825
can transform your life.

50
00:01:57,140 --> 00:01:59,459
We're going to explore this topic together to

51
00:01:59,459 --> 00:02:01,780
see how we can embrace the joy of

52
00:02:01,780 --> 00:02:02,280
downsizing.

53
00:02:03,219 --> 00:02:04,819
As you chew on that, I do want

54
00:02:04,819 --> 00:02:07,125
to set the tone for today's exploration of

55
00:02:07,125 --> 00:02:07,625
downsizing

56
00:02:08,165 --> 00:02:10,824
with a simple yet powerful three word quote,

57
00:02:11,444 --> 00:02:12,665
less is more.

58
00:02:13,284 --> 00:02:14,885
And I'm gonna ask that you let these

59
00:02:14,885 --> 00:02:17,750
three words be a gentle reminder to embrace

60
00:02:17,750 --> 00:02:18,250
simplicity

61
00:02:18,709 --> 00:02:20,969
and focus on what truly matters.

62
00:02:21,349 --> 00:02:23,189
Alright, let's go on into our topic for

63
00:02:23,189 --> 00:02:26,169
today, living with less, the joy of downsizing.

64
00:02:27,034 --> 00:02:28,254
When it comes to downsizing,

65
00:02:29,194 --> 00:02:29,694
downsizing

66
00:02:30,074 --> 00:02:33,834
physical and mental clutter can enhance clarity and

67
00:02:33,834 --> 00:02:34,334
joy,

68
00:02:34,710 --> 00:02:36,169
helping you lead a simpler,

69
00:02:36,469 --> 00:02:38,790
more focused life. Alright. I hope that you

70
00:02:38,790 --> 00:02:41,750
have found a comfortable spot because we're gonna

71
00:02:41,750 --> 00:02:43,610
go ahead and dive into the benefits

72
00:02:43,995 --> 00:02:44,655
of downsizing

73
00:02:45,435 --> 00:02:47,455
and how to start living with less.

74
00:02:48,474 --> 00:02:49,935
When I speak of downsizing,

75
00:02:50,395 --> 00:02:51,854
I am referring to

76
00:02:52,219 --> 00:02:54,860
more along the lines of creating space for

77
00:02:54,860 --> 00:02:56,000
what truly matters.

78
00:02:56,459 --> 00:02:58,459
Alright. It is more than just getting rid

79
00:02:58,459 --> 00:02:59,439
of your possessions.

80
00:03:00,125 --> 00:03:02,625
We want to create space for quality

81
00:03:03,004 --> 00:03:05,564
for things that truly matter and that have

82
00:03:05,564 --> 00:03:07,264
a significance in our life.

83
00:03:07,870 --> 00:03:09,169
By reducing physical

84
00:03:09,629 --> 00:03:12,930
and mental clutter, you can experience greater clarity,

85
00:03:13,629 --> 00:03:14,129
freedom

86
00:03:14,590 --> 00:03:15,330
and joy.

87
00:03:15,875 --> 00:03:18,455
And when it comes to the oral health,

88
00:03:18,834 --> 00:03:21,634
and taking a holistic approach to the oral

89
00:03:21,634 --> 00:03:22,134
health,

90
00:03:22,435 --> 00:03:24,055
I realized that downsizing

91
00:03:24,539 --> 00:03:26,799
is essential for overall wellness,

92
00:03:27,500 --> 00:03:30,319
including your beautiful healthy smiles,

93
00:03:30,620 --> 00:03:31,759
the oral cavity.

94
00:03:32,305 --> 00:03:35,344
Just by reducing physical and mental clutter, this

95
00:03:35,344 --> 00:03:38,245
can lower stress levels, and we all know

96
00:03:38,305 --> 00:03:40,064
you've been tuning in here with me on

97
00:03:40,064 --> 00:03:41,125
chew on this 365.

98
00:03:42,110 --> 00:03:44,430
We know what the stress can do to

99
00:03:44,430 --> 00:03:45,729
the overall body,

100
00:03:46,110 --> 00:03:48,049
including the oral health.

101
00:03:48,590 --> 00:03:50,590
Stress can impact you in ways such as

102
00:03:50,590 --> 00:03:51,489
teeth grinding,

103
00:03:52,145 --> 00:03:52,805
gum disease,

104
00:03:53,185 --> 00:03:54,724
TMJ, which is temporomandibular

105
00:03:55,344 --> 00:03:56,245
joint disorders,

106
00:03:57,104 --> 00:03:58,805
ulcerations in the mouth, lesions

107
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,639
in the mouth, throws off the chemistry in

108
00:04:01,639 --> 00:04:03,659
the body, and you end up with things

109
00:04:03,719 --> 00:04:06,439
such as those apnea ulcers, such as the

110
00:04:06,439 --> 00:04:07,500
fungal infections.

111
00:04:07,884 --> 00:04:09,344
So we wanna reduce stress

112
00:04:09,644 --> 00:04:10,944
as much as we can.

113
00:04:11,564 --> 00:04:14,444
And also, the clarity and focus gained from

114
00:04:14,444 --> 00:04:18,039
living with less can encourage healthier lifestyle choices,

115
00:04:18,740 --> 00:04:21,079
including consistent oral hygiene routines.

116
00:04:21,699 --> 00:04:24,680
So by integrating downsizing into your routine,

117
00:04:25,224 --> 00:04:26,844
you can support your mental,

118
00:04:27,384 --> 00:04:29,245
emotional and physical well-being,

119
00:04:29,704 --> 00:04:32,925
which just ensures a holistic approach to health.

120
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,660
Emphasizing the joy of downsizing

121
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:37,580
leads to a healthier,

122
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,460
happier you inside and out.

123
00:04:41,235 --> 00:04:44,514
Now I wanna go into that insightful resource

124
00:04:44,514 --> 00:04:46,915
on this topic I have for you. The

125
00:04:46,915 --> 00:04:50,129
book I'm gonna recommend is the life changing

126
00:04:50,189 --> 00:04:53,870
magic of tidying up. Subtitle, the Japanese art

127
00:04:53,870 --> 00:04:55,810
of decluttering and organizing

128
00:04:56,350 --> 00:04:57,970
by Marie Kondo.

129
00:04:58,595 --> 00:05:00,595
Alright. Again, the title of the book is

130
00:05:00,595 --> 00:05:03,395
The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up, The

131
00:05:03,395 --> 00:05:05,975
Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing

132
00:05:06,740 --> 00:05:08,120
by Marie Kondo.

133
00:05:08,500 --> 00:05:10,740
I chose this book because it does offer

134
00:05:10,740 --> 00:05:14,199
practical tips and a powerful philosophy on decluttering.

135
00:05:14,964 --> 00:05:15,464
Emphasizing

136
00:05:15,764 --> 00:05:19,225
that keeping only what sparks joy can transform

137
00:05:19,285 --> 00:05:20,024
your life.

138
00:05:20,324 --> 00:05:22,725
Alright. When we take time to understand these

139
00:05:22,725 --> 00:05:23,944
benefits of downsizing,

140
00:05:24,490 --> 00:05:27,449
we can appreciate how living with less can

141
00:05:27,449 --> 00:05:28,750
lead to more fulfillment.

142
00:05:29,850 --> 00:05:31,870
Now I wanna explore some of the incredible

143
00:05:32,009 --> 00:05:35,855
benefits of downsizing with you. Number 1, increase

144
00:05:35,915 --> 00:05:36,415
clarity.

145
00:05:37,035 --> 00:05:39,615
Reducing the clutter can help clear your mind,

146
00:05:39,915 --> 00:05:42,574
making it easier to focus and think clearly.

147
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,939
The second benefit, enhance joy.

148
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,360
Keeping only items and commitments that bring you

149
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,100
joy can increase your overall happiness.

150
00:05:52,654 --> 00:05:54,574
And a third benefit I have for you

151
00:05:54,574 --> 00:05:55,795
is reduced stress.

152
00:05:56,415 --> 00:05:59,295
Less clutter means less to manage and worry

153
00:05:59,295 --> 00:06:01,875
about leading to lower stress levels.

154
00:06:02,879 --> 00:06:05,060
The 4th one, greater freedom.

155
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,100
Downsizing can free up physical space,

156
00:06:08,479 --> 00:06:09,779
time and energy,

157
00:06:10,295 --> 00:06:12,694
just allowing you to pursue what really and

158
00:06:12,694 --> 00:06:14,314
truly matters to you.

159
00:06:14,775 --> 00:06:17,035
And the 5th one, environmental impact.

160
00:06:17,910 --> 00:06:20,949
Reducing consumption and waste is beneficial for the

161
00:06:20,949 --> 00:06:23,850
environment, promoting a more sustainable lifestyle.

162
00:06:24,230 --> 00:06:27,235
And then 6, a big one here, financial

163
00:06:27,615 --> 00:06:28,115
savings.

164
00:06:28,574 --> 00:06:30,834
Owning less can lead to fewer expenses,

165
00:06:31,214 --> 00:06:33,235
saving money on storage, maintenance,

166
00:06:33,669 --> 00:06:34,410
and unnecessary

167
00:06:35,029 --> 00:06:35,529
purchases.

168
00:06:36,069 --> 00:06:38,470
Alright. Now just by embracing these benefits I

169
00:06:38,470 --> 00:06:40,169
just mentioned of downsizing,

170
00:06:40,675 --> 00:06:43,975
you can create a simpler, more intentional life.

171
00:06:44,834 --> 00:06:47,074
And now I have some practical tips to

172
00:06:47,074 --> 00:06:48,855
help you downsize effectively.

173
00:06:49,939 --> 00:06:52,500
Number 1, just start small. Begin with a

174
00:06:52,500 --> 00:06:55,220
small area or category like a drawer or

175
00:06:55,220 --> 00:06:55,720
closet

176
00:06:56,259 --> 00:06:58,740
and gradually work your way up to larger

177
00:06:58,740 --> 00:06:59,240
spaces.

178
00:07:00,245 --> 00:07:02,264
Number 2, sort and categorize.

179
00:07:03,204 --> 00:07:05,464
Separate your items into categories

180
00:07:05,845 --> 00:07:07,305
such as keep,

181
00:07:07,860 --> 00:07:09,800
donate, sell, discard.

182
00:07:10,180 --> 00:07:11,639
At least that's what I do.

183
00:07:11,939 --> 00:07:14,439
And, I am a truly a minimalist.

184
00:07:14,979 --> 00:07:17,654
My home, I barely put anything on my

185
00:07:17,654 --> 00:07:18,154
walls.

186
00:07:18,455 --> 00:07:21,415
I keep my closet spaces almost near empty,

187
00:07:21,415 --> 00:07:23,909
so I'm not always buying. I like to

188
00:07:23,909 --> 00:07:24,849
see clear

189
00:07:25,389 --> 00:07:27,009
spaces whenever possible.

190
00:07:27,550 --> 00:07:29,949
My third one for you is 1 in,

191
00:07:29,949 --> 00:07:30,769
one out.

192
00:07:31,365 --> 00:07:34,165
Adopt the 1 in, one out rule to

193
00:07:34,165 --> 00:07:36,024
prevent new clutter from accumulating.

194
00:07:36,485 --> 00:07:38,504
For every new item you bring in,

195
00:07:38,990 --> 00:07:40,830
try to let go of 1. I know

196
00:07:40,830 --> 00:07:42,830
it's kind of hard to do because everything

197
00:07:42,830 --> 00:07:46,144
happens to be favorites or have some type

198
00:07:46,144 --> 00:07:46,884
of nostalgia

199
00:07:47,345 --> 00:07:49,745
attached to it. But that's another,

200
00:07:50,225 --> 00:07:52,004
tip for you, 1 in, 1 out.

201
00:07:52,625 --> 00:07:54,544
Another one I have for you is set

202
00:07:54,544 --> 00:07:55,044
limits.

203
00:07:55,470 --> 00:07:58,509
Create limits for certain categories of items, such

204
00:07:58,509 --> 00:07:59,569
as your books,

205
00:08:00,029 --> 00:08:03,410
clothes, or kitchen gadgets just to prevent excess.

206
00:08:04,125 --> 00:08:05,665
And then when you can digitize,

207
00:08:06,365 --> 00:08:09,665
reduce paper clutter by digitizing important documents,

208
00:08:10,125 --> 00:08:11,425
photos, and notes.

209
00:08:11,879 --> 00:08:14,060
Store them securely on your devices.

210
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,759
And, of course, the optimum word here is

211
00:08:16,759 --> 00:08:17,259
securely.

212
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,735
And then mindful commitments is another tip for

213
00:08:20,735 --> 00:08:21,235
downsizing.

214
00:08:22,014 --> 00:08:24,115
Evaluate your commitments and activities.

215
00:08:24,654 --> 00:08:26,735
Let go of those that do not align

216
00:08:26,735 --> 00:08:29,074
with your values or bring you joy.

217
00:08:29,550 --> 00:08:31,629
And then the 7th that I have for

218
00:08:31,629 --> 00:08:33,169
you is practice gratitude.

219
00:08:33,870 --> 00:08:36,929
Be grateful for what you have and mindful

220
00:08:36,990 --> 00:08:38,769
of what you truly need.

221
00:08:39,115 --> 00:08:41,695
This can help curb the desire for unnecessary

222
00:08:42,235 --> 00:08:42,735
acquisitions.

223
00:08:43,835 --> 00:08:45,914
Alright. Just by taking the time to follow

224
00:08:45,914 --> 00:08:48,309
these tips, you can start to downsize

225
00:08:48,690 --> 00:08:51,269
and create a more focused joyful life.

226
00:08:52,370 --> 00:08:55,514
Now, once we get into practicing these tips,

227
00:08:55,514 --> 00:08:57,615
now that we know all the beautiful benefits,

228
00:08:57,995 --> 00:09:01,215
let's talk about maintaining a minimalist lifestyle

229
00:09:01,754 --> 00:09:05,215
because that will require ongoing effort and mindfulness.

230
00:09:06,069 --> 00:09:07,909
And here's how you can keep living with

231
00:09:07,909 --> 00:09:08,409
less.

232
00:09:09,029 --> 00:09:10,009
Regular decluttering.

233
00:09:10,709 --> 00:09:13,509
Make decluttering a regular practice, not a one

234
00:09:13,509 --> 00:09:14,329
time event.

235
00:09:14,855 --> 00:09:17,754
Periodically review your possessions and your commitments.

236
00:09:18,455 --> 00:09:20,695
And then of course, mindful consumption is on

237
00:09:20,695 --> 00:09:23,014
the list. Be mindful of what you bring

238
00:09:23,014 --> 00:09:24,075
into your life.

239
00:09:24,490 --> 00:09:27,529
Ask yourself if it adds value or joy

240
00:09:27,529 --> 00:09:29,870
before you acquire a new item.

241
00:09:30,490 --> 00:09:32,190
And then simplify routines.

242
00:09:32,804 --> 00:09:36,004
Streamline your daily routines and habits to reduce

243
00:09:36,004 --> 00:09:38,644
mental clutter and so that can enhance your

244
00:09:38,644 --> 00:09:39,144
productivity.

245
00:09:40,220 --> 00:09:42,320
Another one, focus on experiences.

246
00:09:42,940 --> 00:09:44,480
Prior to rise experiences

247
00:09:44,860 --> 00:09:45,679
over possessions,

248
00:09:46,379 --> 00:09:48,480
invest in activities and relationships

249
00:09:48,815 --> 00:09:50,514
that bring you joy and fulfillment.

250
00:09:51,615 --> 00:09:53,454
And then the last one I have for

251
00:09:53,454 --> 00:09:55,875
you is stay connected to your values.

252
00:09:56,629 --> 00:09:59,509
Regularly reflect on your values and goals just

253
00:09:59,509 --> 00:10:00,250
to ensure

254
00:10:00,629 --> 00:10:03,209
that your lifestyle aligns with them.

255
00:10:03,855 --> 00:10:06,654
Alright. Just by maintaining these practices, you can

256
00:10:06,654 --> 00:10:08,514
sustain the benefits of downsizing

257
00:10:08,894 --> 00:10:11,670
and continue to live a simpler, more focused

258
00:10:11,670 --> 00:10:12,170
life.

259
00:10:12,629 --> 00:10:14,309
Alright. I would love to hear from you.

260
00:10:14,309 --> 00:10:16,870
I always ask and invite you to go

261
00:10:16,870 --> 00:10:17,929
on over to tanzaniedavis.com.

262
00:10:19,365 --> 00:10:20,424
Leave me a comment.

263
00:10:20,884 --> 00:10:23,704
Have you downsized your possessions or commitments

264
00:10:24,164 --> 00:10:26,745
and how has it impacted your life?

265
00:10:27,149 --> 00:10:29,149
What tips have you found most effective for

266
00:10:29,149 --> 00:10:31,870
living with less? Please share with me. I

267
00:10:31,870 --> 00:10:34,269
love to read and hear from you. And

268
00:10:34,269 --> 00:10:35,870
most of all, I love to learn from

269
00:10:35,870 --> 00:10:38,565
you. So let's inspire each other to embrace

270
00:10:38,565 --> 00:10:39,705
the joy of downsizing.

271
00:10:40,644 --> 00:10:42,884
Before I go any further, I wanna drop

272
00:10:42,884 --> 00:10:45,785
this inspirational quote for you to reflect on.

273
00:10:46,029 --> 00:10:48,509
This one is by William Morris, and it

274
00:10:48,509 --> 00:10:51,070
reads, have nothing in your house that you

275
00:10:51,070 --> 00:10:53,949
do not know to be useful or believe

276
00:10:53,949 --> 00:10:54,769
to be beautiful.

277
00:10:55,774 --> 00:10:58,654
Again, by William Morris have nothing in your

278
00:10:58,654 --> 00:11:00,735
house that you do not know to be

279
00:11:00,735 --> 00:11:02,914
useful or believe to be beautiful.

280
00:11:03,809 --> 00:11:06,290
Today, I'm just stopping by friends just to

281
00:11:06,290 --> 00:11:09,009
encourage you to start or continue your journey

282
00:11:09,009 --> 00:11:09,750
of downsizing.

283
00:11:10,584 --> 00:11:12,284
Try one of the tips that I discussed

284
00:11:12,664 --> 00:11:14,924
and just notice how it impacts your clarity

285
00:11:14,985 --> 00:11:15,644
and joy.

286
00:11:16,105 --> 00:11:18,024
I want us to work together to create

287
00:11:18,024 --> 00:11:19,740
simpler and more intentional

288
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:20,620
lives.

289
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,240
With that, we're going to go right into

290
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,879
our journal segment for today. This is where

291
00:11:25,879 --> 00:11:27,659
I just ask you to take some time

292
00:11:27,879 --> 00:11:29,324
with me for introspection

293
00:11:29,625 --> 00:11:30,284
and journaling,

294
00:11:30,824 --> 00:11:33,384
reflecting on your possessions and commitments can provide

295
00:11:33,384 --> 00:11:36,284
valuable insights and inspire positive change.

296
00:11:36,639 --> 00:11:38,480
I have 3 engaging prompts to get you

297
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:38,980
started.

298
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,920
As always, please feel free to pause this

299
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,024
podcast after each prompt to give yourself ample

300
00:11:45,024 --> 00:11:47,345
time to write. With that, let's dive on

301
00:11:47,345 --> 00:11:50,164
into our first prompt, evaluating clutter.

302
00:11:51,470 --> 00:11:52,829
For this, I want you to think about

303
00:11:52,829 --> 00:11:54,929
an area of your home that feels cluttered.

304
00:11:55,949 --> 00:11:58,190
How does this clutter affect your mood and

305
00:11:58,190 --> 00:11:58,690
productivity?

306
00:11:59,355 --> 00:12:01,595
Alright. Now pick that pen up, put it

307
00:12:01,595 --> 00:12:04,235
to paper, and write about the physical and

308
00:12:04,235 --> 00:12:06,815
mental impact of clutter in this space.

309
00:12:07,570 --> 00:12:09,570
Now we're gonna move on to prompt number

310
00:12:09,570 --> 00:12:12,070
2, imagining a simplified life.

311
00:12:13,090 --> 00:12:15,090
For this, I'm asking you to imagine what

312
00:12:15,090 --> 00:12:17,745
your life would be like with fewer possessions

313
00:12:17,804 --> 00:12:18,544
and commitments.

314
00:12:19,485 --> 00:12:21,504
How would it change your daily routine

315
00:12:21,964 --> 00:12:23,345
and overall well-being?

316
00:12:24,389 --> 00:12:26,629
Okay, then write about your vision for a

317
00:12:26,629 --> 00:12:28,490
simpler, more focused life.

318
00:12:29,190 --> 00:12:30,809
And then our final prompt,

319
00:12:31,190 --> 00:12:33,210
creating a downsizing plan.

320
00:12:33,845 --> 00:12:35,684
For this, I'm asking you to reflect on

321
00:12:35,684 --> 00:12:37,924
the steps you will take to downsize your

322
00:12:37,924 --> 00:12:39,464
possessions and commitments.

323
00:12:40,485 --> 00:12:43,679
What specific actions will you take and how

324
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,139
will you ensure consistency?

325
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:48,879
Now put pen to paper, let that ink

326
00:12:48,879 --> 00:12:51,465
flow and write about your plan for living

327
00:12:51,465 --> 00:12:54,285
with less and the benefits you anticipate.

328
00:12:55,785 --> 00:12:58,345
Alright, friends, that's gonna conclude our journal segment

329
00:12:58,345 --> 00:13:00,490
for today. I do wanna thank you for

330
00:13:00,490 --> 00:13:02,490
taking the time to reflect and journal with

331
00:13:02,490 --> 00:13:03,230
me today.

332
00:13:03,610 --> 00:13:04,670
Just by embracing

333
00:13:05,290 --> 00:13:05,790
downsizing,

334
00:13:06,250 --> 00:13:08,170
this can lead to a more peaceful and

335
00:13:08,170 --> 00:13:10,715
fulfilling life, and that is what we're all

336
00:13:10,715 --> 00:13:12,414
about here. Aren't you on this 365?

337
00:13:13,035 --> 00:13:14,715
I sure hope that these prompts have helped

338
00:13:14,715 --> 00:13:17,274
you gain clarity and motivation to start living

339
00:13:17,274 --> 00:13:18,014
with less.

340
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,720
Remember, your journal is a personal space for

341
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,919
exploration and growth. So please keep writing and

342
00:13:23,919 --> 00:13:24,419
discovering.

343
00:13:25,039 --> 00:13:27,945
Keep downsizing also just to let it guide

344
00:13:27,945 --> 00:13:30,504
your journey to wellness. With that, my wonderful

345
00:13:30,504 --> 00:13:32,825
friends, I'm gonna say happy journaling, and I'm

346
00:13:32,825 --> 00:13:35,065
gonna pour out my deepest gratitude for each

347
00:13:35,065 --> 00:13:37,410
and every one of you following me here

348
00:13:37,410 --> 00:13:38,629
on chew on this 365.

349
00:13:39,410 --> 00:13:41,169
Also, thank you for joining me on this

350
00:13:41,169 --> 00:13:43,029
exploration of living with less.

351
00:13:43,410 --> 00:13:45,664
Keep downsizing. Okay. I know it can be

352
00:13:45,664 --> 00:13:47,424
hard and challenging for a lot of us

353
00:13:47,424 --> 00:13:49,524
who like to hold on to things, but

354
00:13:49,745 --> 00:13:52,884
remember it is for our our optimum well-being.

355
00:13:53,549 --> 00:13:54,370
And remember,

356
00:13:54,670 --> 00:13:56,590
until we meet again on the very next

357
00:13:56,590 --> 00:13:59,009
episode, keep chewing on the good stuff.

358
00:14:01,925 --> 00:14:04,245
And that wraps up another day with chew

359
00:14:04,245 --> 00:14:05,384
on this 365.

360
00:14:06,404 --> 00:14:08,769
Thank you for sharing your time and your

361
00:14:08,769 --> 00:14:09,750
spirit with us.

362
00:14:10,129 --> 00:14:11,750
Let's continue to inspire,

363
00:14:12,209 --> 00:14:12,950
to challenge,

364
00:14:13,409 --> 00:14:16,355
and to support each other. Because together, we're

365
00:14:16,355 --> 00:14:19,235
not just surviving the days, we're thriving in

366
00:14:19,235 --> 00:14:21,955
them. If you enjoyed our time together, please

367
00:14:21,955 --> 00:14:24,214

keep chewing on the good stuff. Stay curious,

371

and as always,

372
00:14:34,095 --> 00:14:35,315
be kind to yourself.
