My takeaway, use your fear or anxiety to make you productive. Like my mom used to say, find a [healthy] new project. I pick up my crochet hook and count loops when I get anxious (and have the space to work).

I cannot wait to watch this. Josh and Ryan, you helped me change my life. I dove into the decluttering aspect a year ago and only later realized it's a life journey. I feel the word "journey" is overused these days but it's accurate in this case. I take it one day at a time. The best part is that my loved ones see the changes and want in on it too. You're making waves, my friends. Thank you.
