Hey guys! In this episode I talk about how to apply mindfulness to decluttering. Some of the strategies I talk about here are creating space for your mind to relax, by setting a timer.

I also talk about how to relax the nervous system by taking deep breaths, and finally, how getting rid of the clutter is going to allow space to receive what you really want in li...

Hi guys! In this episode I talk about simplifying your categories when decluttering a very cluttered space, like a garage. The more simple you make the categories, the less emotional and the less energy your project will take. We want to make the project so simple that it's like working out: a physical rather than an emotional experience. Hope this helps!

Hi Guys, Just because we CAN take care of everything doesn't mean we SHOULD take care of everything. We are capable of doing so much - taking care of the kids, the house, the spouse, the driving, the scheduling, the shopping, the cooking, everything - but when this becomes our life to the degree that we have no time to appreciate the small moments we know it has gotten out of hand. It's time to step back, delegate, declutter and take care of you. Give yourself some space. If you'd like to join t...

Hi Friends! In this episode I talk about a client who I worked with who let go of a lifetime of memories and did NOT regret it. The biggest take away from this episode is that it is normal to feel sad when letting go of items that were meaningful, but you still won't regret it. It's okay to feel the sadness because it's a loss. But when you open up your space you allow yourself to grow, and that's what we all want - that's what makes us feel good - growth.

Hi Guys! In this episode I talk about how clutter creates stress. This elevated stress is not noticable to us on a day to day basis, but inside our bodies it is taking its toll. It is making us eat mindlessly, become lethargic, and make decreases our ability to focus. We are paying a very high price for our clutter and we don't even realize it. But it is something we can control, so we should. Please come join me in the facebook group. Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/declutteryou...

Hi Guys! In this episode I talk about how women are conditioned to give their power away. We do it all the time - we don't mean to - but it is ingrained in us. We are taught to be nice, and pretty, and quiet... not to be powerful. I'm hoping that this episode will give some awareness of this tendency and help you (and me) remember how powerful we are. PS: Also, you don't need to declutter photos. The memories are worth the space. XO, Amber https://www.instagram.com/declutteryourchaos/ amber@decl...

The Amber Method is A for Assess, M for Manifest, B for Breathe, E for Eliminate, and R for Receive. The most important thing to remember during this step is to stay out of your head. You can do this by using strategies that activate your prefrontal cortex: make the project about numbers, a specific space, or focus on a specific catego...

Hi Friends, In this episode I chat with Jennifer Mackey Mary, who has a podcast called Everyday Style. We talk about how what we wear has the power to change the way we feel.
