Ep. 70 - House Hushing, Mind Hushing: Quieting the Noise to Create Peace & Space

The End of the Day Podcast with Kari Watterson: Using Mindset Work to Live Your Best Life

If you've ever turned down the radio to think, or decluttered before tackling a project or new task, you'll want to learn about house hushing. Coined by home decor author, Myquillyn Smith, house hushing is the act of "quieting" a physical space of visual clutter for 24 hours so the brain can experience what a room could be like without everything in it. Smith calls this "backwards decluttering" because you get to experience the emotional and visual benefit of decluttering right away without the decision fatigue of actual decluttering. The idea is once your brain knows that it's possible to feel peace, calm and order in your space again, it will yearn for simplicity and be very protective and intentional about what gets let back in.
You can see the parallels between house hushing and mind hushing.
By the end of this episode, you'll be itching to use Myquillyn Smith's concept to not only hush your physical spaces but the areas of your life that feel like are always yelling at you.
Imagine what your present and future could be like if you did the work to quiet the noisiest aspects of your life.
