Hello guys! Fantastic podcasts! Thank you! It inspired me to review rooms in our house. According to friends it's tidy and uncluttered but to me it was starting to weigh me down. I couldn't work in my office space. I didn't feel inspired. It drained me. I have cleared it again, taking out books I had not used in the last 10 years and cleared more surfaces.... It feels like a new room! I feel more energised. Main bedroom - the simple task or swapping around a mirror and chair gave the room a new vibe: calmer and bigger! Kitchen - rearranged a few piece of furniture and re-organised the counter. It didn't have much on it but again, swapping 2 items around made a big difference. So thank you for the tips and the inspiration!
