declutter your mind

Do you feel overwhelmed by your thoughts? Do you struggle with anxiety about your daily tasks? Or do you want to stop worrying about life?

The solution is to practice specific mindfulness techniques that create more “space” in your mind to enjoy inner peace and happiness.

With these habits, you'll have the clarity to prioritize what's most important in your life, what no longer serves your goals, and how you want to live on a daily basis. And that's what you'll learn in Declutter Your Mind.

The goal of this book is simple: We will teach you the habits, actions, and mindsets to clean up the mental clutter that's holding you back from living a meaningful life.

Mindful Relationship Habits: 25 Practices for Couples to Enhance Intimacy, Nurture Closeness, and Grow a Deeper Connection

Feel disconnected from your spouse or partner? Struggle to keep your relationship fresh? Worried that everything will end in heartbreak?

It's easy to fall in love. The challenging part is keeping that spark alive while you and your partner deal with “the real world.”

Your relationship can often seem less urgent than the day-to-day emergencies that you deal with — your job, finances, children, and that to-do list full of chores. They all demand your immediate attention. So how do you find the time to nurture your love and intimacy?

If you want to build a deeper connection with your spouse or partner, then one solution is to build “Mindful Relationship Habits,” the practices we teach in this book.

In a mindful relationship, you are intentional about all your choices and interactions with your partner. You become more proactive in responding to each other's needs and less reactive to the challenges that often arise. You evolve to a higher level of interaction with one another.

3 Things A Day: A Minimalist Journal for More Focus with Less Stress

3 Things A Day Journal

Are you spinning in circles, never accomplishing all you set out to do? Do you often multi-task without giving full attention to the task at hand?

When you try to accomplish too much on any given day or week, you set yourself up for failure and unhealthy stress. Studies confirm that working longer hours and cramming dozens of items on your project list does not make you more productive.

That’s why it’s so important to apply a minimalist mindset when it comes to getting stuff done: less is more. Throw away the long “to-do” list and learn to focus your time and attention on your most important tasks.

You will reduce stress, improve focus, and become more engaged in each task. This minimalist approach will create a seismic shift in the quality of your work, your energy levels, and your attitude.

With this journal, you'll focus on just 3 tasks a day — you're most important for the day. You might wonder “Why just three things a day? Why not five or seven?” The answer is: Because setting three daily goals is measurable, manageable, and realistic.

This beautifully-designed journal includes:

  • Information on science-backed “3 things a day” concept.
  • Instructions on how to best use the journal for your success.
  • A failproof accountability plan to ensure you follow through daily.
  • A weekly reward system to celebrate your achievements.
  • Inspiring quotes to motivate you.
  • Space to write your 3 daily goals with “got it done” checkboxes.

By the end of 52 weeks, you will have completed 1092 action items!

The 90-Day Gratitude Journal: A Mindful Practice for Lifetime of Happiness

90-Day Gratitude Journal

Do you often feel surrounded by negativity? Every day, we are bombarded with bad news, political discord, and catastrophic world events. The antidote to our unhappiness isn't the newest thing, the latest diet fad, or the next achievement. The antidote is gratitude for what you have right now and for the people in your life.

And the simplest way to practice gratitude is to turn it into a daily habit—specifically by journaling about the blessings in your life.

With this journal, you'll answer three questions, which won't take more than ten minutes of your time. Two of the prompts will be the same every day, but the third will be a “wild card” question that challenges you to think about a specific aspect of your life.

The 90-Day Gratitude Journal can become your personal tool for injecting a dose of positivity into your day. You can use it to focus your attention on what is going right in your life instead of focusing on everything that's going wrong. You can use it to pause for a few minutes every day and truly appreciate all that you have.

10-Minute Mindfulness: 71 Habits for Living in the Present Moment

[WALL STREET JOURNAL BEST-SELLER]

Hate the negativity that often surrounds you? Feel stressed or anxious? Overwhelmed by our hectic, fast-paced modern society?

These issues are often the direct result of a vicious cycle known as “unconscious living.”

You can be unconscious about your lifestyle choices, habits, and thoughts. You can be unconscious about your true values, life priorities, and deeper longings.

The solution is to incorporate mindfulness through your entire day — so you can enjoy inner peace and happiness. And the simplest way to do this is to build a series of mindfulness habits.

In 10-Minute Mindfulness, we show how to anchor yourself in the present moment, even if it's for just a few minutes at a time. This book is for anyone who recognizes the need to improve their focus, productivity, happiness, and peace of mind.

Write It Out, Don't Fight It Out: How to Use Letters To Heal Your Relationship When Talking Gets Tough

Does communicating with your partner sometimes feel impossible? Do you wish you could just stop arguing and talk without defensiveness and hurt feelings? Are there things you want to say or ask but feel too uncomfortable or embarrassed?

Sometimes communicating verbally can make a relationship issue worse rather than better, because things get too emotional or awkward.

There are hurt or angry feelings. Someone clams up or walks away. Both of you feel misunderstood or unheard.

When talking breaks down or gets testy, writing letters to each other is a highly effective way to communicate in your love relationship or marriage. Why letter writing?

Letter writing allows you to slow down, consider your words, and articulate them in the spirit of love and kindness, even with the most difficult and painful situations.

Writing your feelings and needs in a thoughtful way sets the tone for healthier dialogue, as you can bypass hurtful words and angry reactions.

Letter writing is a transformational process that helps build intimacy, resolve conflict, and foster self-awareness and compassion.
