Let's get straight into the episode of today. (upbeat music) Hello beautiful beans and welcome to the podcast episode of today. This episode is five steps to declutter your life and your mind before 2026. I really wanted to do one of these episodes before the end of the year because it's, even if you're not gonna, I mean, ideally I want you to action these things before the end of the year, but even if you don't, you have it in your mind to be able to action them in January. Now I've said this before and I'm gonna say it again. You don't need the end of the year to start something new. You don't need a Monday, you don't need the first of the month. You don't, however, I will always, always capitalize on the end of the year and the start of the year for a reset and a refresh because firstly, why not? Secondly, I do believe that there is something in this idea of this collective energy around us. It's easier, it's not crucial, but it's easier to do something when a lot of other people are doing that thing at the same time, okay? If everyone is doing a reset, it's easier to just go along and do it as well. If everyone is doing a challenge or this difficult thing or running a marathon or whatever, it's always easier to do it when other people are doing it, even if you're not even talking to them about it, I feel like there's an energy of a refresh and a restart. It's also where most people do take time off. You take time off, a lot of people hopefully celebrate this time with people that they love, they spend quality time with people they love. It's a time to kind of switch off, decompress and kind of start the new year with fresh eyes. So I'm gonna capitalize on this. You absolutely can do this at any point in your life. Just make that clear. I'm not saying, oh my God, it's different now than any other time of the year. It's not, it's just a fun time to do it. So why not lean into that fun? It's kind of like, you know, when people put up a Christmas tree in November and other people get shitty. Like why the fuck not? Can I not put a fucking Christmas tree up in November? Okay, anyway, let's get into it. Also life update, life is epic, okay? Loving the children, loving having twins. Every twin parent that I've bumped into, we're like, how good is twins? The twins are so good, how good are twins? Like it's just, I don't know, I don't know if it's because you expect it to be so intense with twins. You almost prep yourself for, you really prepare. And then it's, I don't wanna say, like it's, yeah, it's a lot of work, but it's, it's easier than I thought it would be. It really is. Anyway, I've also got a great support network. I'm also loving my plans for the podcast in 2026. I've got new management with the Fordham company. It's just all happening and I'm very excited. And I feel like next year it's gonna be a really great fulfilling year. Emotionally, family-wise, work-wise, massively. I feel like it's kind of a new wind for the podcast. I've just got a good vibe for it. And there's other exciting things on the horizon that we'll just kind of get to when we get to them, okay? Now let's get straight into the episode of today. There are going to be five steps or five different avenues that we're gonna hit as far as decluttering because we're decluttering our life and our mind because I think they go hand in hand. We're talking about the physical, we're also talking about the, you know, mental load and the emotional as well. I think if you can tackle all these things, you're gonna feel a lot lighter in the mind coming into the new year. And when you do this decluttering physically and in the mind, it allows for, you open up space for other things. I think we just think, oh, it's just gonna reduce stress or it's gonna be so it's gonna that. It will do all of that, but it's also gonna do a whole lot more. When you have less stress in your life, you're able to be more creative. Your mind flows a whole lot freer. You can get into the flow state a whole lot better. You're gonna find your focus is better. Your attention is better. The same as when you get rid of a, like when you cut the dead weight, dead ex or situation ship in your life, not only have you gotten rid of a stressor in your life, but you've also opened it up for new fresh energy to come into your life. You unintentionally are cock blocking. Good things coming into your life because you are, you know, hoarding, bad relationships, bad thoughts, bad behavioral patterns, shit in your life, digital clutter, you're just hoarding unnecessarily. Things that you don't need to be there. And when they're there, it blocks the ability for other things, people, thoughts, beliefs, everything to come in. So this is very important that you do this before and alongside when you're trying to create new things for your future, all right? So this intentional decluttering begins. Number one, we're going to clear the invisible noise first, all right? So this is kind of unfinished decisions, cognitive clutter that we're going to pay attention to and clear. Now this is one of those episodes where I really would love for you to get a notebook and a pen and all your fucking laptop, whatever. But I want you to write it down. I want this to be a kind of like an interactive episode if possible. So I want you to kind of think of everything that's unresolved in your mind. Because when you have these unresolved things, tasks, thoughts, even when you're not doing them, you want to think of them as open tabs in your brain, okay? There's all these open things. Now you might not be doing anything towards it actively, but they're always playing in your subconscious mind, whether you realize it or not. It's kind of like when you give your brain a task to remember a name. And you think, ah, I can't remember that person's name. So then you're like, oh, whatever, like it is what it is. And then you switch tasks and you start doing something and say, ah, that's the person's name. Jamima, that's the person's name, right? Your subconscious was given the task. Your conscious mind couldn't do it. You subcontracted that task to the subconscious mind. And then when you thought your mind wasn't working on it, it actually was and it comes into action. Now that's a good thing when you want a good thing, but it's a bad thing in the sense of when you've got all these open tabs and you're not making sure you close them off or get closure or finish off that thing. So when we've got all these open tabs in our mind, it actually leads us to have more cognitive load, more stuff. And you'll hear a lot of mothers talking about this, the cognitive load. They're always thinking around all the background things and they're like, okay, okay, okay, okay. Because other people aren't going to think about it, other people aren't going to do it. So even if they're not doing that thing right now, it's in the back of their mind, back in the mind. And whether you realize it or not, it's adding stress to you. It's using up cognitive energy and cognitive space that could be used for something else, okay? So this is where you're going to look at things like particular conversations that you're having. You're looking at decisions that are pending, bills that need to be paid, even if they're not due yet, but you could actually pay them now if you have the ability to do so. Appointments that need to be made and locked into the diary, things that are broken that need to get fixed, any kind of life admin that needs to be done, emails that need replying to, that may be unurgent, but you eventually need to get to messages, all of that, okay? That's all this invisible noise that we need to get to first. So this is you're either going to do it, do the thing, you're going to schedule it, so it's locked in and you don't have to think about it ever again, like an appointment, for example, or like a meeting with someone that you, no, we're going to meet up, we're going to meet up, but you haven't, you're going to delete it, or you're going to delegate it. So it's do it, schedule it, delete it, or delegate. Those are your options, okay? Write it all down, write it all the fuck down. Now I'm not saying you got to do it all now, I'm going to give you a little way to break everything down at the end of this episode, but they're the key points that we want to be focusing on. So this step one, the invisible noise, all the little random life admin things that you need to be giving your attention to, whether it's urgent or whether it's in the near future, that physio appointment, book the fucking physio appointment. That, and I'm, lol, I'm saying this, 'cause it's what I actually need to do, but actually claim that thing from your private health insurance that you couldn't claim at the time because your card wasn't working, and now you've got all these things that you need to claim. Do the claim, do the fucking claim, get your money back, okay? That's number one. Number two is your physical space reset. This is huge for you to know the system, I highly recommend that you do it. Often, not just at the end of the year, not just on your birthday when you're doing birthday resolutions, which I love doing, but often, okay? This physical clutter will equal clutter in the mind. I can guarantee you that if you ever try and do work in a really messy room, let's say you work in your bedroom, okay? Your bed's unmade. You've got a pile of clothes on the floor there. You haven't really done your laundry in a couple of days, and you probably could do a couple of loads of laundry. But then even the clean clothes, it's not even folded, and it's kind of bunched over there. You know that if you were to open the wardrobe, it's a fucking shit show in your wardrobe, then you've got that box of stuff that you need to give away to Vinnie's donate. Then you've got, so already your desk is a shit show, and then you open your emails, and there's 3,000 unread email. That, my friends, is physical clutter, which is going to equal mental clutter. Your mind is like, oh, if I could shit, and even if you're trying to ignore it, it's playing on your mind. It is clutter in your mind. Even if you're not actively acknowledging it, you are feeling it's adding this stress. It's stuff that you know needs to be done. Subconsciously, you're like, oh, I've got to do that. I've got to do that. It's a mess, okay? If your bed was made, the wardrobe was cleared out. You had donated everything you needed to donate. Your laundry was up to date. Your desk was cleared, and it was just a pen, a note pad, and your computer. How would you feel? Genuinely, think about it. You'd feel on top of the world. You'd feel clear. You'd feel declided mentally as well. You'd feel fresh. You'd feel like, well, now I've got all this mental bandwidth. Now I can do whatever I want. I can work on this task, this assignment, this creative thing, I can start writing. I can do whatever it is that I need to do. I feel like I've got so much free time. Just because you've cleared up physical clutter, your time feels like it's being cleared up. Because you're not thinking about the shit that's there, okay? So when it comes to this physical space reset, you do it slowly, okay? I personally like to think of different categories for my clutter. I've got a whole list in my notes, actually. This is what I've done in my notes. And you know where you have the circle that you tick off and then it goes to the bottom and then when you untick it, it kind of, I think it stays at the bottom, but then like the list resets, I have a big list and it will be broken down. I was obviously very bored this time, this one time. But I break down all the different sections of the home that, and it doesn't have to be daily, but that in order I tackle. So it could be maybe three times a week. And one of them is the draws of my bathroom versus the cupboard behind the mirrors of my bathroom. So I don't do them both in the same day that it takes up too much time. So I do it separate days. Then I do, you know, my, you know, these first two draws of my wardrobe, then the bottom two draws. Then there's one that it's just bedside table and under the bed. Then there's, you know, and you go down and they're like all when, you know, when you look at them, they're all between 10 to 20 minute tasks. Sometimes it's going to be even less. The fucking draw in the kitchen where you throw all the shit in, okay? So it's all bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. And then every time that I do it, I tick it off, bang, bang, bang. And then once they're all done, I untick them as I go, bang, bang, bang, bang. So you're going round that loop again and again and again and again. And before you know it, it's maybe three times a week if you're really like keen bean, it's every day. If you're just over eager when it comes to life being decoded. And you're just going through that again and again. There's probably like 40 things on there because I really break it down into small bite-sized pieces. But then every month and a half, you're hitting that same thing again, hitting it again, hit it again, hit it again. Right? It's amazing. You also want to think of visible order. You don't want things piling up. You want to think of clean services, visible order, things that are not going to do your head in and going to add to the mental load, okay? So of course, donate, throw away, sell, store something properly. But what I don't want you to do is relocate clutter. That actually doesn't really help in the long term. You can help in the short term if you're like, I just need this space to look clean. But in the long term, you're going to know that there's a bunch of fucking shit unfolded laundry that's now going to crinkle, that now I probably have to iron or wash again because it's so crinkled, I can't get the crissette, shoved in that spare closet, okay? So you need to actually see to it eventually. I don't want you to just shift clutter from one space to the next to the next to the next to the next because that doesn't actually solve the problem. The next one is digital declutter. This is the big one. This is probably the biggest one, okay? This is where so much of our stress resides in our digital clutter. This is your email inbox. For me, I've got like literally five emails. So it's my five email inboxes. This is your camera roll. This is just how you've set up all your apps in your phone. Apps that you don't even use storage, always having to clear storage, messages, all the shit, okay? So, and also subscribing to shit. Newsletters, all these things. So this is what we're going to do. Camera roll purge, you're going to set aside. Let's say you care about purging your camera roll and it's something that matters to you. Some people don't need to do it. Some people do. If you do, you just set aside timed 10 minutes a day. Well, like I said, just a couple of times a week doesn't have to be every day, 10 minutes. And you do whatever you can in those 10 minutes. After that time, it goes off, you're done, okay? When you do it like that, it's not this insurmountable task that you're like, oh my God, I've got to wait till I have a whole day off and I'm going to ruin my day and waste a whole day purging my camera roll. There's also apps that apparently can like call heaps of like duplicate photos and shit like that. But if you want to do it on your own, just 10 minutes, 10 minutes, okay? The same goes for emails. I set 15 minute timer and within a week-ish, week and a half, I've kind of got rid of all the emails that I don't want in my inbox anymore and I've sorted them into their folders, okay? Mass unsubscribed, start unsubscribing to things that you don't need, you know, like being like, what do you call it? An advertising material constantly coming into your inbox. Unsubscribed, okay? Apps that you haven't used in over two months, call it two months, you choose the timeline, get rid of them, delete them. If you're not sure if you're going to delete them or not, move that app into a little folder and then when it's not visible, if you don't need to use it because it's not in front of your face, then maybe you actually never needed it and you can get rid of it, okay? Another thing that's really important is look at all the apps that are on your home screen and this is one thing that I do. I'll put the apps that I mainly use on the main screen and on the second page, then I keep like a gap page and then the other one and then it makes me realize how little I use the apps that are further down and then that's when I can go on and delete them because I haven't used them in like two months. So get rid of them, get rid, turn off notifications. Turn off notifications on your emails. The only notifications that I like to have coming through are texts and phone calls, that's it. I don't even have the little number on my Instagram thing, nothing, like get rid of that because you're gonna check, like don't kid yourself, don't fucking kid yourself. You are going to check your Instagram often enough. You don't need a notification thing, someone's sending you a message. You're gonna be on there in three minutes time anyway babe, you don't need the fucking little red circle, okay? Get rid of it. So you want a home screen that supports a clear mind, okay? Only the bare necessities on that home screen, you don't want the little red bubbles, you don't want unnecessary notifications, okay? You don't want your mind to be what you don't want to be. So set yourself up for success. And then also pay close attention to what you are choosing to keep as well. Like when you move something that I haven't used for like two months into a new folder, call the folder, time wasting, right? And then put it in there. So that way you're like, this actually is a time waste. I don't even need to put it in this folder, I'm gonna delete it straight away, all right? So that is number three, digital declutter. Number four, we're gonna do emotional clutter audit. This is huge. The other ones are more superficial, important, but superficial. This one is the shit that basically what my podcast is primarily about. This is really moving from the old you into the new you. This is you doing something about the negative things in your life or leaving it there altogether in the past. It's not kind of dredging something along more than it needs to be. This is unprocessed endings where you're able to find a bit of closure and provide that for yourself. This is old identities where kind of the old you does need to die in order for the new you to come through. You can't have both at the same time. This is things that you're attached to that don't serve you but maybe represent safety of security. This is resentment, need for revenge, anger, jealousy, comparison, that kind of shit. So you're gonna ask yourself of these things. You can pause, write it down, you can listen to this and then re-listen and write it down the second time, whatever, whatever works for you. Ask yourself, what am I still carrying that genuinely no longer applies? Because obviously there's a reason why we hold something. You're not, like we're not stupid, right? There's a reason why we would carry something with us but is that reason valid enough, okay? What no longer really applies to be anymore? What more so applies to the old me that I don't wanna be anymore. So given that I'm gonna be this new me with you know, fresher beliefs, healthier processing, like ways of processing things, what doesn't apply? The next question, who am I resentful at? But I'm avoiding resolving that thing. Because if you're never gonna resolve this thing, this resentment that you carry, we need to find ways of eliminating that resentment. And this episode isn't about that. I've got all these episodes that talk about, you know, like not needing revenge or resentment and all of that. So just type in resentment and the episode should come up. So go and look at that. But I think it's important that you say if I'm not willing to resolve this with someone but I'm carrying the resentment, the only one who's gonna suffer is me. You're holding a grudge, go listen to my hold a grudge, holding a grudge episode and why we shouldn't do that and how to get rid of it, okay? If I am willing to resolve it, I need to get that shit sorted soon. And if I'm not sure if it's possible to resolve it, then I need to decide is it worth putting my energy to trying to resolve it or is this a chapter that I need to close all together 'cause I'm scared to try and put the energy into it and this person's gonna reject me and I'm not gonna be able to resolve it with them, okay? 'Cause you can always resolve something, either with the person or you resolve it on your own and your own head and you create the closure for yourself. Next question, which narratives have expired but I'm still living by? In adequacy, imposter syndrome, things like that. Things that you've told yourself, I'm a failure, I'm this, I'm not this, I'm not this kind of person, I'm not a morning person, I'm not whatever. How much of that actually needs to be part of your identity and how much of that is actually really, really flexible and you could change it if you put your energy towards changing it, okay? Because I need to stop using this language if I actually wanna change it, if you love sleeping in and no aspect of your life will be improved by getting up early, then you don't need to change it. You can genuinely say, I'm not a morning person and I hope to never be one, then that's great. But if you're someone that's like, God, I fucking, I wish I had that but it's just not me and I'm just not a morning person, then that's something we need to look at changing, okay? Then we've got this another thing about, okay, let's look at the confrontation thing, this is separate to the questions. I want you to, if you are looking for closure, if you need closure, this is a few exercises that you can do that's gonna help you feel better. Number one is write a few statements, closure statements, things like this chapter doesn't need me anymore, things like, there's nothing that person can give me that I can't give myself, there's nothing that person can say that I can't say for myself, things like, I don't need to hear it from them, I've seen it from them, all these statements help us start to create our own closure, but then there's also things that you can do such as write the letter, but you don't have to send it. Just a simple act of putting your emotions and your thoughts and your feelings on paper or type down and everything you feel and saying everything you said, then when it comes to the actual sending it, you're like, you know what, I just needed to vent, I just needed to get that off my chest and now that it's off my chest and on paper, I have no need to send it anymore. That was my therapy and it's really helpful to do that. Sometimes when we bottle it up, we carry it and we carry it and we carry it, write it. And fuck, you might write it and be like, this is brilliant, this is the masterpiece, I'm fucking sending it, then send it, if you want, if it makes you feel good, but write journal the letter and you don't even have to send it, okay? That's your therapy. Then we're also gonna look at letting go of concepts that are outdated, like I'm the one who has to hold everything together, you don't, you don't have to be the one that holds everything together in order to be a strong person, you can be a strong person and be like, I can't do this on my own, all right? You don't have to be the one that says, I can never let anyone down, I can never disappoint people, you know, if I did this, it would disappoint someone, if I did this, it would disappoint. So start looking at these self concepts that really hold you back from doing things. If you say to yourself, God, I'd love to try that thing or I'd love to move here, I'd love to start this random form of exercise or this hobby, but I can't because I would let someone down, disappoint this person, people would laugh at me, I would then how can we look at that? Let's bring that to the surface and re-establish what that self concept could look like, re-establish how we're going to approach it, how much power that thing is gonna have over us. Yes, they're gonna laugh at me, but they also aren't going to spend much time thinking about me because they're probably thinking about themselves and their own dramas and other gossip and other things. So while I'm worried about someone laughing at me because I've decided to start this new thing that might be embarrassing, this person, okay, yeah, they might laugh, but it's only gonna take up 0.001% of their day laughing at me, then they're on to the next thing. Is that enough for me to not follow through with this thing? Can I live with the fact that someone's behind my back being like, lol, she's trying to start a new Instagram and it's trying to get, I probably can live with that because it's not gonna, and even if it did, consume their life, isn't that more telling about how boring their life is than it is about mine, really? So good on them if they want to laugh about, you know, that for days, that just shows how boring their life is and I pity them if anything, okay? So those are the things you want to start working through with your emotional clutter order. Another thing you could do is just take a long scroll through my podcast history and look at the episodes, you're like, yeah, I need to revisit that one, that one and that one because they're the main things that I'm working on right now. Bank, listen to them, write it all down and start taking action. (upbeat music) I am really big on gifting experiences or things that really last, so I have the best recommendation for a gift that will keep on giving over and over and that is Masterclass.

Masterclass.com/dyfm. And then lastly, we have number five. This is declutter your time and commitments. This is big. This is important, okay? You don't necessarily need to have all this new shit in the new year. Sometimes your new year is just less, less is more. When I'm doing less, I actually get to properly enjoy the things that I am enjoying, or that I am good at, or that I should be investing my time in, whether it be with people, relationships, family, this hobby that I want to do, or my career that I actually love that I'm spread to thin and I never get to really sink my teeth into, okay? So we need to do a bit of an audit on social obligations that really drain you. I don't have to hang around with these people anymore. And maybe I'm telling myself that I need to hang around with these people because I think I've got no friends. But if they drain you, are they really your friends? Can you look for friends elsewhere? Maybe we need to cull before we start to expand, okay? So audit, social obligations that drain you. I don't care what they're going to think of me. Work habits that don't really move the needle. There might be certain things that you're like, I've been doing this and it's wasting so much time and it's because people have told me that I should be doing it, but I don't see it benefit me. Maybe I need to trust in the else that would benefit me, okay? Meetings that you don't need to be in, or that maybe you could rehash how a meeting is done. And if you don't think that you're going to benefit from the meeting, speak up about that, okay? This is talking about just like work related things. But friendships altogether that you're investing time into and you're like, this is killing me. Or you could be like, you know what, I could still go to this event, but why do I have to, why do I feel like I've got to be there for hours? Why don't you be like, you know what, I'm still going to invest some time into these people. But I'll tap out early or I don't have to go to every single one of these things, you know, let's say you don't love your in-laws. Do you have to go to every single event with your in-laws? Why don't you just go to a couple? You show your face, you put in the effort and then you're like, you know what, I don't have to. Or you go to all of them, but you only go for a couple hours and then you leave and then your partner can stay there if they want, right? Whatever it is, we want to simplify this to, what are our core priorities? Where should my time, where is my time best spent? Because it's something I'm never going to get back. So where is it really best spent? What are my non-negotiable values and do these things align with those values? Do they align with this new kind of energy that I want to provide for myself coming into the new year? And then making sure that you're not constantly being like, I'm trying to fit it all in, I'm trying to fit it all in, I'm trying to prioritize, prioritize, prioritize. Some things are not going to be able to happen, but then you're going to be able to really expand to grow in other things. Now something that I haven't added in to all of this, but it should fit into declutter your time and commitments and it should also fit into your invisible noise and your digital, it fits into most of them. But basically it's really get clear on how you want to be using social media and how much of that time it's eating up for your time versus not, okay? So I want you to kind of re-approach how you're going to look at social media. One thing that I found that I did, so when breastfeeding, you're kind of there stuck in the one location and you're on your phone often, okay? So one thing that I thought that I would do, so I'm not just scrolling, scrolling, scrolling when I would breastfeed would be, I would have like these really cool vision boards that I would have on my Pinterest. So if it's late at night, instead of having that stimulation of like being on Instagram, scrolling, I could be looking at a vision board that I had for work and I start getting work ideas and whatever. So it's still kind of, you know, you're still scrolling, you're still getting that like fix, but it's a little bit more, you know, productive or it's something that's not gonna be like a doom scroll. You can switch out of it quite quickly. It's not as addictive. That's just a personal thing that I've done and it helped me shift into something that's a bit more like brainstorming or creative and things like that, all right? So in summary, or not in summary, before we summarize, let's go into these micro reset actions that we can be doing. So the first one is 10 minute kind of power sweeps throughout the day of things that you're doing with, you know, around of like physical clutter, like one drawer a day, one thing. Like I said, like have that list and just spend 10 minutes or 15 minutes towards it. Do that daily until January 1st and see how that goes until you go away and holidays. And then if you've like, I'm loving this, then you carry it on into the new year. 15 minute, 10 to 15 minute digital declutter sessions. You do this at night in the morning, whenever, you're able to do it, something that, you know, like you do every night for seven days and then you just drop down to three days a week or you do whatever it is, but it's something that you know that you're going to be able to stick to and that feels good and it feels productive. And then something that I'd like you to do is maybe tick off five to 10 lingering tasks that are in the back of your mind that you need to do before the end of the year and you're going to get them done. Book the appointment. It only takes you 15 minutes, but you've been avoiding it. Go and claim that thing back, go and, you know, lock in that couch up with that person that you actually want to couch up with, things like that, okay? Those lingering tasks, you're going to get at least five of those down before the end of the year, okay? You're doing this as a neurological reset. This is for your mind, this is for your sanity, this is for your, to lower anxiety, to increase your happiness, to increase this feeling of satisfaction in your life. When you feel like your life has purpose, it's got, you know, like it's not on this hamster wheel the whole time. You can actually pause, reflect, enjoy your life, okay? And this is another thing. It's not about becoming a minimalist. You can still do the things that you love. You can still do all these things. It's about getting rid of the stuff that doesn't serve you. That's a waste of your time, energy, and money, and attention. You're just getting rid of things that are no longer relevant to you, okay? That's what we're doing, and we're just tidying it up, organizing it, organizing it because the more organized you are, less clutter, more tidy, thoughts that you want to be thinking versus the ones that don't, using what serves you, not using what doesn't serve you, the more you open it up to feel good about yourself, to feel like you are on track, to feel satisfied with your life, to feel like you're growing in the right direction, and to bring in more creativity. You're going to have way more ideas, way more creativity. You're going to really start to enjoy the moments within your day, a whole lot more. So to summarize the five points, number one, we've got clearly invisible noise first. So this is the mental tabs that are open. Number two, your physical space reset. Number three, digital declutter. Number four, emotional clutter, and number five, it's decluttering your time and your commitments. So go through all of that, listen to the episode again if you need to write it all down. This is like a fun homework task to do before the new year, and I'm very excited. I'm doing it. I'm going to do this on myself for the record, and I'm very excited for it. So I'm going to do that this week. Anyway, guys, that is all for the episode of today. I really hope that you can take a lot away from today's episode. Love you guys so much, that is all for today. As always, remember, be kind to yourself. Be kind to your brain by doing all these five points by doing it all. Don't take shit from anyone, and especially don't take shit from yourself. Dunker!
