Heather's wisdom shifts my "junk" so effectively!

Surpising idea for me that clutter could be from childhood trauma. I will look into that for myself.

Hearher...love your blueberry story! 💕🫐💕

Excellent as always, Heather!! Thank you for your inspiration!!

Heather, I so agree with you. If the house is a mess, I go straight for ice cream or something unhealthy. I can't function unless I feel organized and clean. But my room is still cluttered according to my family, they think I have too much stuff, well, especially too many books and DVDs. I do tend to collect those things!! I can't help it because people are getting rid of them and you can pick them up for practically nothing...Marlo

Thank you, Heather!! You are so uplifting and encouraging and supportive!! I love listening to you!! You are a wonderful role model and teacher!! Soooo thankful for you!!! Jill

No fun at all...

Good one Heather - for me, it's an energetic read on each and every item

This is my favorite question!

This was a fabulous lesson! Thank you!

Very interesting, I'm going to try this, I hope I can feel the lightness & heaviness, because it is really difficult for me to let go of things . . . . ❤️

Prime example of how insufferable modern women are. 🙄

Beautiful, Heather!!

About a decade ago my grandmother decluttered before she went into a nursing home - she gave away most of her clothes, leaving only what she wanted to be buried in; she left an almost empty house, the house I grew up in. When she passed I took a lot of her kitchen wares - those items were useful, practical and held memories of my childhood, and would often bring me to tears at inopportune moments. Five years ago everything I owned including my house was 'de-cluttered' by a wild fire - I saved one of my grandmothers tupperware containers - because it had pet food in it, and I saved my pets. That container now has multiple levels of meaning attached to it, and, when I use it, it ignites my memories and, instead of being a child, I'm an adult surrounded by wildfire, holding my ferrets and puppy close waiting for someone to rescue us, the afternoon sky black with smoke, live embers raining down all around us; the ensuing days feeding my ferrets from that Tupperware container - white, round and with a blue lid, that for almost 50 years my Nanny used to hold gingerbread, orange cake and my favorite 'American Nougat Slice'. Of course I have another place to live, and new 'stuff' - a lot of it 'used' left here by the previous owner or bought second hand, some of it new - and it is strange to have things I just don't connect with - stuff that has no meaning to me other than practicality. When I use that Tupperware container, it now has even more emotional connections for me and brings up a whole other collection of memories. I place incredible amounts of meaning on items my mother has sent to me - pottery she has made, items she took from my Nanny's house, bread pans and sewing bibs and bobs... ribbons, buttons I remember coveting as a four year old. The things that mean the most to me in this world are the items I have been given that were part of my life as a child, all the new stuff is replaceable. I have come to the conclusion that stuff is stuff ~ unless its love, life and memories contained in stuff. I imagine I will have that Tupperware container for the next 50 years, and it will always take me on a journey when i have the wit to let it. Stuff that has emotional content is important for keeping the mind traversing the years - and keeping the memory intact. Being able to recognize the 'value' of that stuff, and cherishing those items while decluttering the soulless stuff that has no emotional connection is, I think, an important aspect to not feeling regret. Memories are precious, and it has been proven that putting alzheimers patients in a space that contains items they would have used in their childhood like a big old tv, radiogram, transistor radio, furniture of the era (orange everything from the seventies) improves their memory immensely. As does playing te music they loved in their youth on the modality they used: records. Putting people with alzheimers into a space with only modern tv/furnishings allows the memory to slip away. SO sure, declutter, at the same time, keep some items that have memories attached to them to keep the memory alive

Thank you for this video and your perspective on regret. I never thought of it in terms of keeping something to avoid "future regret," which puts a new spin on things for me. I've done very well in decluttering over the past several years, but I stalled out last year due to some weird and intense worry that I will suddenly miss something I've decluttered. Holding on to these items directly conflicts with my desire to have fewer possessions and to live a more intentional life (current regret), and I've let fear of "future regret" hold me back from moving forward and focusing on my present life. Wow! Thank you ❤

Thank you for confirming what my husband told me! I'm trying to clean up my sewing and crafts room after years of having it be a dumping zone. It was overwhelming at first, and I didn't want to tackle it. He said to let go of things because, if I haven't use them to this point, I won't miss them. If I do miss them, I can acquire something later that better suits the stash or projects. I'll be fine. At least I've started working on that room! No regrets so far.

Thank you for this video. I think I'm going to read (& then act on) the "Top five regrets of the dying", as I feel so many of them already... And, at age 82, "death clearing" is something I can't put off for much longer! With a horror of leaving my massive overload of Stuff to be thrown into skips by strangers. But just as much, I want the space again for things like art and cooking that have become impossible. Happy New Year to you...

Just settling in to watch this video but wanted to wish you (and myself) a lighter and brighter New Year 2025. Will this be the year I finally get my clutter back under control? Well, that's the plan and I will thank you ahead of time for the help I think I will find through your videos and posts. Happy New Year!

This helped 🩷🩷

So good!

Thank you, Heather. I listened to your words 4 times. So many positive and negative feelings are filling both sides of the circle. I feel much more motivated to start. How do I reinforce this continually, so I don't give up?

Thanks Heather. Circle drawn, words written and I accept both sides. Time to get started. ❤

One, Two, Three here I Goooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Beautiful, Heather! Thank you! Excellent ideas!

Word salad with a cliffhanger ... boy do I care?!

All it takes is....🙄

Spot on… Letting go can be tough!

Thank you for always being so encouraging and inspiring Heather! I like that you shared the science about the left and right brain and that it only takes 2 minutes to shift! That feels really empowering!

Wow! That was a Powerful exercise! All of them! Very interesting and helpful! Thank you so much, Heather!

Solid tips! Thanks!

Great video! Where is the eye move yawn trick from? I’ve never heard of that!

Your calming presence is very healing. Thank You.

This was super helpful-thanks! I’ve done such somatic exercises before but this hand one is so quick and effective .

Heather, I learn something new every time I listen to you share! And thing I love is that what you share is REAL, Do-ABLE, and COMPASSIONATE. Thank you! MaryRuth

Heather's teachings gave me so many tools to overcome my resistance to decluttering. I love seeing her share them here on UA-cam!

Loved that Heather - so simple and encouraging!

Love this! So encouraging and empowering!

The front door area sounds great...Starting the timer/stopwatch on your computer for 15 minutes Is a good way do get started and do it for 15 minutes... Cute sweet girl here...

Thank you Heather! You are always so inspiring and making the life feeling lighter! This video will be a go-to when things are heavy ❣

This is wonderful information. So helpful that your message includes thoughts, as well as physical clutter. Thank you. ❤

"What feels right & light for me?" .... This is pure gold, Heather.

Beautiful, Heather! Thank you!!

Love seeing you on her Heather sharing your wisdom and guidance!

A stalling tactic! So true!!

Wonderful video. Short and sweet and encouraging. I am thinking of writing that letter soon. I am leaning into my curiosity about the clutter that has amassed itself around me, why it keeps showing up, despite me working on it!

Heather is the best! She is so positive & encouraging! Love living my lighter life with her help!

Transformative! I wrote that letter to CLUTTER a few years ago. With some one-on-one counsel from Heather, I was able to shed pounds of journals 📕 that I had kept for decades, distilling the ones that spoke to me. The best advice free: get curious 🧐 and write ✍️ that letter. Thank you, Heather! 🙏❤️🙏

I have been getting your newsletter for awhile now and love all your tips. I love what you say here about getting curious about your clutter. I use curiosity a lot to uncover my feelings and actions but never thought to apply that to clutter. I’m going to give this a try. 🥰

Love the encouragement to get curious!

Beautiful video... keep putting such videos 😍
