TMHS 287: Recharge Your Health, Motivation, And Happiness By Decluttering Your Life - With Guest Chalene Johnson

Published: May 15, 2018, 11:42 p.m.

Since the beginning of humanity, I\u2019m sure there\u2019s been a fascination with the accumulation of a lot of \u201cstuff\u201d. There were probably a bunch of cave-people who had way too many animal skins and rocks hanging around just for the sake of showing off to the cave-folks in their neighborhood (this is basically the premise of every episode of The Flintstones by the way).

It\u2019s probably a hard-wired psychological game that if you have the most stuff, you win. But the sad reality is that this accumulation gene is still alive and well within us today. As a result, there\u2019s been a tidal wave of folks jumping to the complete other of the spectrum to become minimalist (in revolt of our typical hoarding nature). But, as with most things, there\u2019s actually a much more balanced middle ground that you can find happiness. But, it starts with you finding out just how much the clutter in your life matters.

Seriously, this information blew me away! I had no idea how much organization in our lives could affect our food choices, our motivation in life, and our overall success. Today\u2019s guest helps break this stuff down in a way that makes sense, and I promise that you\u2019re going to experience ah-ha moments left and right!

Our guest in this powerhouse episode is New York Times bestselling author Chalene Johnson. She\u2019s an icon in the fitness industry (she literally revolutionized at-home fitness with her record-breaking workout DVDs), a dedicated wife and mother, and an absolute in the world of business, personal development, and entrepreneurship. If anyone had permission to clutter-up their life, it was her. But she found that the clutter was controlling her and holding her back. Now she\u2019s on a mission to show you just how much the clutter is affecting you, and how to efficiently and effectively de-clutter your life.
