Every now and then, when someone hears that I wrote a book on minimalism, theyâll say, âUgh, I want to declutter, but itâs so exhausting! I usually give up before I get very far.â
I get that.
Decluttering means making a thousand tiny decisions, taking a thousand steps around your house, and hauling dozens of bags and boxes to your car. The processâespecially if you have a lot of clutter to clearâcan be physically and mentally draining.
Of course, there are things you can do to make it more fun and sustainable (think: putting on great music and lighting a great-smelling candle, decluttering with a friend, doing a decluttering challenge, etc.) but YES, at the end of a day spent decluttering, your body is going to feel it.
All of that said, what if you focused on something totally different while you were decluttering?
What if instead of thinking about how hard and how tiring it is, you redirected your brain to thinking about all of the things that are way more exhausting than decluttering?

So my oldest kid is old enough to follow me on Instagram now, which is mostly WEIRD and also kind of unexpectedly fun.
But the other day he looked up from Instagram with this glint in his eye and said, âThere goes Mom again, talking about mindfulness and stuff while sheâs over here yelling, âIâm CODE RED! CODE RED! Everybody get out of my space!â
I knew he was trolling me (he IS his fatherâs son), but I still felt an initial ping of hypocrisy and probably even shame.
That said, those feelings stayed with me for no more than a couple seconds. It was almost like I was standing outside of myself, watching those feelings wash across me and then slip peacefully away, like a morning wave.
Old Erica would have been emotionally TRIGGERED by my sonâs comment. Letâs just say, the wave would not have receded nearly that fast.
But THIS Erica actually landed on feeling proud of herself.
THIS Erica laughed with him, because - Heck yes! She talks about slowing down, living mindfully, and taking the pressure off⊠AND she gets super irritated with her family and tells them to all go away!
After those initial feelings washed through me, I trusted that my son sees me as multifaceted, multidimensional. Imperfect but still whole. Trying, falling, trying, falling. And ultimately, expanding.
But the reason I was able to move so quickly through those feelings of shame is that Iâve stopped beating myself up for my sensitivity.
Itâs inconvenient, and I really do wish that I wasnât so quick to get overstimulated, but Iâve stopped painting it in my head as a character flaw.
Iâm not making it mean anymore that thereâs something wrong with me.
Because of the work Iâve done to accept my sensitivity, I actually feel like Iâm ever so slowly growing in my ability to hold space for my own dysregulation.
Itâs slow going, but Iâm seeing so much more progress than I ever did when I was beating myself up for it.

If you want to live a simpler, slower life, the hard truth is that youâre going to have to say no when people ask things of you. For most of us, saying no almost feels physically painful: We were raised to be helpful, kind, and maybe even self-sacrificing. But you CAN gain more confidence in your noâs. Hereâs how.
