Here are some #Decluttering tips.

Start small. Set small, manageable goals.

If it gets hard, take a picture, so you can still have that connection.

Contact a donation center & schedule a drop-off or pick-up with a local donation center or homeless shelter.

Move what you can, as often as you can.

Try stretching, deep breathing, chair-based exercises, or even intentional gestures like arm circles or foot taps.

Any short bursts of activity releases endorphins, boosting mood & reducing stress!

We all need more laughter in our lives, so call a friend today, watch your favorite comedy, try laughter yoga or just look in the mirror & try a round (even if it's forced) of ha-ha-ha-ha!

3/31 🧵 #DigitalWellnessAdvent reminds us to prioritize our sleep by 1) Establishing consistent sleeping routines 2) Creating relaxing bedtime rituals like reading, mediation, journaling, taking a bath 3) Optimizing sleep environments with a dark, quiet & cool room.

Limit screens an hour before bed.
