30: What can you let go of today?
===
Welcome to episode 30 of Permission to be Messy. I'm your host, JoAnn Krall and I'm asking the question. What can you let go of today? And I know this seems a bit redundant based on last week's episode, where I talked about the five areas that you can declutter to simplify your life.
But with this question, I'm always looking to go deeper, but yet simpler. So I used to do a room on Clubhouse, a weekly room with some friends of mine. And we would ask this question, what can you let go of today?
I started out doing the room by myself from the perspective of a professional organizer, simply thinking about, physical things that people could let go of. And I had people come in and they would share one thing, one thing that they could let go of.
And the goal was that they would let go of that one thing and then they would feel accomplished and then they would go about their week and hopefully let go of more. It evolved into more and we did start talking about. You know that mental clutter, that relationship clutter, that financial clutter, and all of those items that I talked about in last week's episode. So today I'm keeping this really simple and short. for two reasons. it's been quite a day. We have been waiting for an electrician to come and do some work. And they finally came at seven 30 this morning and I had to keep both dogs quiet for a period of time. It turns out there was some things that really we're not done correctly. Nothing ever happened, thankfully, but now I feel like everything is safe. So I'm letting go of the worry of what, What could happen with any wiring, but anyways, we got our new dishwasher in, Despite the fact that my husband has an injured knee, he's potentially facing surgery, but he was able to actually get the dishwasher in we did it together. Cause I've been washing hand washing dishes for about two or three weeks now. But I digress. I really want you to think about this question. What's one thing you could let go of today. It can be something really difficult. that you need to make that breakthrough. Or it can be something really simple. Even if it's just one. Beauty product that you've been holding onto for whatever reason. Or maybe you just go and you get rid of any junk mail that's sitting around or maybe you just get rid of one shirt or one pair of pants. But I want you to feel really good about letting go of one thing. I talk about this all the time. Right? Chip away chip away. I can say this over and over chip away, chip away, chip away, but sometimes you just need that action. Because if you overthink things. often we don't put into action and the act of getting rid of whether you're donating. Throwing away, recycling, whatever it is. The act of doing that and then accepting that wow, I accomplished that. That may be all you do that day. But you could wake up every morning and think, what can I let go of today? I have had people tell me that they think of me. asking that question. And that makes me happy because I would love for you to think. I'm waking up in the morning. I have my morning routine. Maybe you're drinking your coffee or your tea or your lemon water, whatever it is you drink And just think what's one thing I can let go of today. And again, it doesn't have to be something physical. if you go back and listen to last week's episode, where I talked about the five areas. There's a lot of benefit to letting go of things that suck your time, your money. your energy your, your mental clutter, your emotions. And so just think about this question every day.
So get in the routine of asking yourself that question every morning, what can you let go of today? And just pick something and you can take two approaches. Like I said, you can pick something really difficult. Where you can pick something easy. And you can pick something easy each day until you have nothing easy left.
When I was first thinking about talking about this question. I knew it was going to be a quick episode, but honestly, I feel like I could put out an episode and just ask that one question and then say goodbye. It's that important of a question to me. .
And with every week, I always want you to know.
My contact information is always in the show notes. So anytime I ask a question or talk about a topic. And you need to ask me a question about it, or you want to share something. Please do reach out to me in whichever way makes sense to you on that contact page. And. I want to let you know about a few updates that are going on in my business. this podcast is about organizing, but
because I'm also helping people discover whether they have something that they can teach to others. And if so, helping them build their online knowledge based business. I do talk about business. And, I think often what I talk about can be applied to life as well. but so I want it to share what's going on with me. So I've mentioned this. I'm reformulating my organizing membership. I'm taking all of my programs and then I'm building them into one larger program that is going to be cohesive and walk people through all of the steps that I teach. That is going to be a standalone program. And then I'm going to have a membership with which incorporates the community in the support. So that should be coming. Hopefully fingers crossed. By the end of the month, if that is something that you might be interested in learning about. no obligation. You can just sign up at the waitlist in the show notes. And the other thing that I'm doing. Is I'm helping, Helping people discover if they have a business. So I do have a call. If you're listening to this on the day of recording, I have a call scheduled for Wednesday the 16th and I am it's at 7:00 PM eastern. That link will also be in the show notes. It's a very informal, chat session. where you can come in and you can either be a fly on the wall or you can fully participate. If you think you might have something to teach, or you're not sure I'm going to be talking about that. How I help people. You know really think about what they may be able to teach to help others, and also to give yourself some extra income. So that will also be in the show notes.
And it aligns perfectly with Kajabi has a new, promotion coming out next week. that I'll be talking about. I think I can share the link in the show notes. As well, I think I have the link already for available to me, but it's going to be an extended free trial, which will match perfectly with what I have coming up, because I'm going to actually be looking for 20, just 20. People to help me go through a beta. session of, helping people go through this process. So again, if that's something that you were interested in that will also be in the show notes. And of course, they'll show notes can be fount at joannkrall.com and you can just go to the podcast link.
And as always, I'm wishing you much progress. Peace. Purpose and the permission to be messy. Thanks for listening.
