In this episode of You've Got to Feel to Heal as You Declutter, we explore emotional healing and why letting go of attachments is crucial. Many of us struggle to simplify our lives because our belongings often hold sentimental value, reminding us of people and memories dear to us. Arlene Ram, a spiritual guidance counselor, emphasizes the importance of embracing our emotions to heal. Instead of avoiding or hiding our feelings, we should confront them honestly. It's normal to feel strong emotions during loss or challenging times. Rather than masking these emotions with superficial reactions, we should acknowledge them and make necessary life adjustments. Though it may seem daunting, this process is essential for creating the space needed to heal. Regardless of external circumstances, we can find joy by nurturing our inner peace and resilience. Reflecting on what we're holding onto and what we're trying to let go of is vital as we journey through life, aiming to live to the fullest.   RESOURCES ----------------

Today, it's all about control freak, food hoarding, or any kind of clutter or hoarding. Clutter means having too many things in your home, making it messy. Hoarding is when people collect and keep a lot of stuff they don't need. We discuss how wanting to be in charge can stop us from getting help. Some people hoard food, hiding it in different places because they want to control it. They might also judge others who do the same things. But we look at another way of thinking - being open about our problems. When we talk honestly about our issues, we let others help us. This can change how we feel about our things and stop us from hiding or hoarding. It's important to think about how we feel in different situations. Sometimes, our worry comes from not letting others help. If we try to change and let others do their part, we can find peace and joy. We also say it's good to talk to ourselves and think about our feelings. When we understand why we do things, we can feel happier. Finally, being open and not trying t

How to create the life you want? In this episode, we talk about why it's important to explore different ideas and find what works best for each person. We also talk about how it's good to question what we believe, especially as we think about our things and stuff. We need to look at our beliefs and let go of the ones that don't help us anymore. This helps us live honestly and thoughtfully. When we are thoughtful and honest, we make ourselves strong and in control. We become people who make things happen instead of feeling weak. We also talk about how we make our own reality and how we sometimes need to break things to make them better. But we say that it's not good to only think about breaking things because it can make us feel bad and stop us from moving forward. Instead, we say it's better to know what we want and work positively towards it. When we focus on what we want and put our energy into it, the things that are not good for us will go away by themselves. Instead of thinking about what's not good, we

Being open and honest with your partner. In this video, we delve into the significance of addressing deeper issues over surface-level frustrations in relationships.  We often use small problems to hide larger concerns. To overcome this, we must honestly examine what's triggering us – the surface problem or something deeper. Drawing from my own experience, I share how my partner and I started a weekly dinner and date night with a brief problem-solving session.  This way, we tackled one issue at a time and let go of minor annoyances. I also recommend a weekly self-reflection to assess the past week and plan for the next. Even spending a short time each day or week for introspection can foster mindfulness and empowerment, helping us prioritize what truly matters for positive transformations.
