Staying in theme with my last few posts, I wanted to share some favorite yoga videos and podcasts from the past week:

I did a little closet clean out before Christmas (inspired by Caitlin Jaymes) and finally dropped off the ‘donate’ pile that I let sit in the corner for far too long. But even after doing that, I feel like there’s still more decluttering and cleaning out to do, so I’m trying out a new strategy this month.

Each time I put away my laundry, I have to hang the recently worn and washed item back up on the far left of my closet. My intention with this is twofold — not only will it leave me with a clear picture of what isn’t being worn, I’m hoping it will also encourage me to pull from the right side of my closet over the month to use some lesser worn items and not always wear the same favorite things over and over again (guilty!).

Now it does feel a little crazy to mix up the current organization of my closet (organized in section by style, by color, etc), but I’m willing to sacrifice for a bit in order to really see what I’m no longer wearing and holding on to for who knows what reason.

I’m really trying to live with less of the “But what if I’ll want to wear it again in the future?” mentality and more of the “Does this serve my current lifestyle?“ mindset, you know?

I’ll report back at the end of the month (or two) to see how things turn out. Let me know if you give it a try too!

And a few Amazon purchases/restocks from the last week:
