  • Today I visit with Dr. John Delony about the real cost of clutter on our lives and mental health. There is a strong connection between clutter and stress and anxiety and yet it's not wrong that we keep things hoping for security.

    I watched the whole thing! Thank you! I am 17 yrs clean and sober. There is something about trading addictions, and it doesn’t have to be about a substance. I declutterred because my sister was coming to stay. Declutterring my place took a few months. And I live a one bedroom apartment. Way too many drawers in place. No rules for other people who want to send me things. No rules for myself to live by. Once I declutterred and established rules my life became so much easier.

    Schools cannot be tasked with “catching” stress responses in our children. These teachers have up to 25 kids in their classroom at a time, interacting with each other, coming from different home environments, etc. And the older these kids get, the less time they spend in one teacher’s classrooms. We, as PARENTS, are the ones who are responsible for observing these changes in our kids. When schools are able to help, it’s just a bonus. The reason we are in this much trouble is because of parents who believe “the school should have caught that”, when it pertains to mental and emotional health.

      Thank you, we have disability and chronic illnesses in our homes that create major complexity, high demands and ongoing energy limitations. But decluttering can be very simple, I will scan a room if I am sitting and resting, to look for items that need to go. And I am comfortable throwing things right in the trash, despite environmental impact, because of the challenges I face on a daily/hourly basis. Also I am allergic to shopping which helps a lot!

    Amen Mister! I'm around a 100 lbs overweight, my "Everything" hurts. I am on my feet for at least 6/7 hours a day at work, delivering meal trays in a Hospital to patients, on tiled cement floors, pushing heavy metal food carts, bending almost to the floor to get the trays off the bottom of the cart, dealing with people (which can be stressful in itself.
    some patients are nicer than others, but
    after working in customer service for over 38 years you adjust to dealing with people. 🤷🏻‍♀️😏
    And I try to be a Blessing and a ray of sunshine to everyone. Even if they're complaining about how long they were waiting for their food. LoL......some days we're doing the work of Two people and other days we have enough people to be able to deliver meals faster.)
    Even at 57, with all this extra weight, I have people who are shocked when I tell them my age and weight ( I'm open about it) 🤷🏻‍♀️😏 and most patients are understanding and nice about how long it took to get their food. Many have been on the "nothing to eat" NPO diet..... some for days, and are just happy to be able to eat!
    But your comment about being in pain because of the extra weight....so true!
    And the last several years has been even worse....work conditions, finances, emotional eating has been sky high.....
    I have ADD and slight OCD that Clash,
    Clutter stresses me, but I can't deal with it so I ignore the situation and I know that deep inside, I'm reacting to the stress. I do try sometimes, but get overwhelmed and shut down and ignore it. LoL .....I have incorporated the "setting alarms for every 1 1/2-2 hours, sometimes dealing with one room......then getting overwhelmed and moving to a different room to try and keep tackling the clutter.
    And strangely, I'm helping another person with their Messy cluttered home!
    (Since I was a little girl I enjoyed cleaning my friends rooms over my own. 😂 And my childhood friend Rickie, confirmed this to my friend Wendy just recently. I wanted Wendy to not feel bad for me cleaning up her house, we both need to get "routines and schedules" to motivate us and be able to live in a clutter free home. I do watch programs like this, and hopefully it will help.
    Emotions don't help, lack of sleep doesn't help, poor nutrition doesn't help, no real support system doesn't help, and being in pain doesn't help either.
    Plan......get more sleep, eat better, try to get my "bills" under control (it would help if we got a decent raise at work. 🤨
    Considering how we've all had to work these last few years.) I'm just not young anymore (not Old, but "middle" aged)
    And I believe that if I could accomplish these things I would be in a better "physical and mental" state of mind to make these changes. Living payday to payday has been hard, only one income and Our Economy has increased a lot, hopefully Our Union at my place of Employment will Fight for US to get a Decent Cost of Living raise!? I can handle a few hours of overtime occasionally, a few days a week, willing to work on my off day Saturday, work the Holidays, ECT ...but I'm just about 9 years shy of retirement, LORD willing, and refuse to work Two jobs ( I did that in my twenties and thirties.... sadly no husband or children ever happened. Not God's plan for me I guess. 😏🤷🏻‍♀️ (Although I'm still able to get a Husband as long as I'm breathing! 😁 LoL .....) Anyway......God Bless you guys! Happy Holidays and stay safe.....🤗

      😊Hi Angela, It sounds as though you give, give, give to others but it is vital that you start 'giving' to yourself❤
      The greatest gift you can give to yourself (and your loved ones) is by becoming the happiest and healthiest version of yourself.
      I am similar age and personality type but fortunately in a position to retire early (which I am) and focusing on my physical and emotional wellbeing. I have switched to a healthy diet of vegetables, fruit, fish and water and am taking long walks each day and doing light weight training and stretching at home.
      If you are not yet in a position to retire I urge you to at the very least, seek some advice about a sustainable healthy diet which will enable you to drop those extra pounds. Websites such as Weight Loss Resources are good for info and inspiration. You can access a lot of great information without joining.
      If you drink lots of sugary drinks or artificially sweetened sodas STOP this immediately and replace with water.
      It is important to sleep well and relax also.
      Decluttering your home will work wonders for your health so why not ask your friend to return the favour by helping declutter yours ?
      If this isn't possible I recommend thinking more about the items you love and donating the rest rather than going through each individual item (which can be overwhelming)
      With a clean home, healthy diet and good sleep routine you will be improving your physical and mental health greatly. You will feel more energetic, less tired, achy and hot and will save money in the long run.
      Please don't put things off, I'd advise beginning with your (own) home declutter as once that is complete there will be no stopping you !
      Please do not allow others to take advantage of your lovely, generous personality- it is time to show yourself some love ❤❤❤ Sending love and positivity your way❤❤❤❤

    Thank you for making the “Taking back your home” course affordable. I just started the course. I have been trying to declutter for a long time. I was ok when I was poor because I couldn’t afford a lot of stuff. When that changed is when my problem started. I’m going to be fully retired soon and do not want to burden my daughter with all this stuff. I can’t do much about my husbands stuff but I’m hoping he sees the progress and gets on board. What I see my main problem is not buying more stuff after I get rid of stuff. It’s a vicious cycle.

      In time you will see a lot of stuff in the stores as “future clutter” and you won’t want it. But the pain of decluttering the expensive mistakes also helps a lot of people cut back on shopping. Remember that anything you get out of the house now makes it better. Your daughter will be so grateful for whatever you do.

I hated doing it because I knew it was there. It played on my mind. It worked though. He eventually realised he had no clean clothes!😂. It then went in the laundry basket.😅. I think it’s fine for people to be the way they are, but they should also be considerate if it’s affecting you adversely too. The hard thing is waiting for them to see that.😊

    That study about cars and happiness is interesting to me. We’ve always driven older vehicles and 3 years ago my husband bought a brand new Toyota tunda and I still feel happy every time I get in. I really appreciate it still and we’ve brought it some neat place. So I think stuff that adds value to your life brings happiness for a long time especially when you’ve had to work for it. I was feeling bad because we have 9 kids and my 16 year old was struggling trying to find a reliable car. I told him I wish we could give him a nice car and he told me - “mom, then I would be like those stupid rich kids! “😂 I was glad he reminded me that working for something can be a good thing too! Just wish I could make my kids lives easier sometimes!
    Just kept listening… too funny John passed on the tundra. My husband is a mechanic so we bought the 2021 before they changed it to a hybrid- he knew there was going to be complications with the change so it was a good choice to pass on the tundra John! After we pay off our house we’re going to get the highlander for me. We love Toyotas!

    I enjoyed that. Listening to you both having a conversation about life was very relaxing. I think I may have picked up an idea or two. I'm 70 so it's a little harder to get a new view point having already "been there and done that" for a lot of things.

    Oh my goodness, I just finished listening to this. This has to be one of my top favourite interviews you've done Dawn. I had goose bumps by the end on how if we want our children to change, we need to look at ourselves first.... Tough to hear but so so true. Thank you both for this interview ❤

    I've been following your advice and decluttering. I started Christmas shopping and realized that I couldn't take the clutter that these gifts were making. I rushed out and got the wrapping paper and got it done and feel so much better!!

    WoW, you are truly changing my mind ❣️❣️⁉️
    I a year ago I restated watching your channel. When you have interviewed him in the past, my brain turn to hearing adults in " Charlie Brown ". I get bored and stop watching. This time I watched till the END❣️⁉️
    IT WAS VERY INTERESTING and Eye-opening ❣️❣️ Thank You.
    Here I am making a request please make a play list with just interviews. Thank you. If you have bandwidth of course.
    😂I have sinfully started to decluter beyond my chronic pain. Please pray that I can manage my pain so I can accomplish organizing my home as I decluter it too. Or the other way decluter as I organize my home.

    I've watched Dawn for many years and have slowly been decluttering the whole time, but it wasn't until I had to move things out for new carpets to be fitted, that I looked at everything I still owned and realised I didn't need any of it so much furniture too!
    I finally get it, get rid of it all!!!

    What a great conversation. I love the part about focusing on what we have in common first. Like I'm not a religious person, I never grew up with it and i live in Ireland where the Catholic church is very prevalent but we also have such a difficult history with it. But I've always respected so much how your faith (and Dana from A Slob Comes Clean) clearly influences your decisions when it comes to the journey you're on and while it doesn't come into it for me there are other things that come into it in the same way.
