Do we have to HAVE more to BE more?
By Åsa Nilsson | Sep 29, 2023
Åsa has now been doing her own version of Swedish Death Cleaning in her home and the best laid plans have gone to hell in a handbasket, and quickly.
Proving yet again that a ‘plan’ is only a plan when the reality sets in to what kind of work and TIME it actually takes to do this process. So what’s a gal to do?
ANYTHING. Start small. Even if it’s an hour and you only have a bag.
Åsa will always show you the real deal. You can count on that.
Progress not perfection, dear heart. Let it be easy and be open to opening a drawer and starting there.
Enjoy.

IN THIS EPISODE I TALK ABOUT:
- I like to organize and get rid of stuff. Move things around, in a methodical way. HA! Or so I thought.
- The initial plan has gone to hell in a handbasket. What is the REALITY of how this is actually looking?
- “What was I thinking”. How many times have I said those words?
- Why do I hold on to the things I hold on to?
- The best laid plans. The kitchen was *supposed to’ be next. Nope. Have to pivot due to time restrictions.
- Pulled a Tarot card, 2 of Cups, explanation of that card for us today. Partnerships. Working together.
- If a feeling of overwhelm happens, what to do? One room, one hour, one space, one bag at a time.
- Books, medicine cabinets, expired medicine, start intuitively. Just take action.
- Done is better than perfect (again).
- If you haven’t worn it in 20 years versus one year, that’s the Åsa way. 🙂
- Head, heart, hands concept. Likened to my Body, Mind, Soul and Home Decluttering concept.
- Start to create peace NOW.
- Not leaving a mess for someone else to take care of when I’m gone.
- Numbing out with stuff, more belongings, looking good for others.
- Death cleaning is about evolving. Who am I? Changing, growing into my podcast. Or?
- I don’t want more stuff. Being more versus having more. “Do we have to have more to be more”?
- Upcycling, repurposing, donating. Encouraging sustainability and it’s eco friendly!
