151: 10 Subtle Things Stealing Your Joy
from Paring Down: Realistic minimalism, decluttering, & intentional living · host Cloud10
In this Good Stuff episode of the Paring Down podcast, I want to share about the flip side of joy—as in, what's getting in the way? So I decided to put together a list of 10 things that are stealing your joy and offers practical, research-backed ways to subtract them from your life. You'll learn: • What "personality trait" isn't one that you have to accept...you can free yourself from its trap! • How to avoid feeling low on time to get everything done • All about "attention residue" • The difference between problem solving and rumination ...and so much more! You can work on removing one thing at a time, and notice how much more room there is for joy when you stop letting these sneaky distractions and habits get in the way.
