EP 16 Pursuing Less

This episode is 2-fold given the situation happening right now. ⁣⁣This episode is about our journey of pursuing less (things) in the Sims household over the last 4 years and how freeing it can be to let things go. ⁣⁣This episode came at the perfect time because we are stuck in our houses 😅.⁣Does your home cause you stress and anxiety or is it your place of peace and comfort? Does your home overwhelm you or is it a place of rest? We are still on this journey of pursuing less but it has caused our life and my motherhood to be so much lighter and more enjoyable. It was something I didn't even know I needed and I'm excited to share it with you.⁣I also talk about teaching kids at home when you aren't a teacher. I feel comfortable with what's happening because I'm a teacher but I know some mamas are feeling anxious about keeping up with all the academics and making sure their kids don't fall behind during this time. I got you. I talk through some things to remember during these next 3 weeks (or possibly more).⁣SHOW NOTESYale study (It can literally hurt to let things go)https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3506167/Princeton University study (affect ability to focus)https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21228167Clutter raises cortisol levelshttp://magazine.ucla.edu/features/the-clutter-culture/index.htmlEducation appsReadingReadinga-z.comHomerMathSplashMathDreamboxTechnologyKodable
