The Life Edit Blueprint | Ep. 81
In this episode, I’m sharing The Life Edit Blueprint — a positive psychology–based guide to simplifying your life so you can feel lighter, clearer, and more intentional. Ask yourself: “What’s one thing I can subtract this week to feel freer, clearer, and more energized?”
🧠 Mind – Edit Your Thoughts
- Stop pouring energy into limiting beliefs & what you can’t control.
- Reframe rumination into growth-focused thinking.
- Research: Rumination is linked to higher anxiety and depression (Nolen-Hoeksema, 2000).
⏰ Time – Audit Your Schedule
- Highlight what aligns with your values vs. what’s just “busyness.”
- Research: Harvard Business Review (2018) found “time poverty” leads to higher stress, lower life satisfaction, and poorer health.
⚡ Energy – Audit Your Energy, Not Just Your To-Do List
- Identify green-light (energizing) vs. red-light (draining) activities.
🤝 Relationships – Simplify Your Social Circle
- Quality over quantity. Invest in those who uplift you.
- Research: The Harvard Study of Adult Development found strong relationships are the #1 predictor of health & happiness.
🏡 Environment – Clear Your Space
- Less clutter = more calm. Even small edits free mental bandwidth.
- Research: Clutter is linked to higher cortisol and stress (Saxbe & Repetti, 2010).
➖ Choices – Subtract Before You Add
- Before saying yes, ask: What can I let go of to make space?
- Research: People default to “adding” rather than subtracting (Klotz, 2021).
🌙 Closing Reflection: Editing your life isn’t about having less — it’s about making room for what matters most. 💡
