I am in my sixties and I started building modular lego houses. I loved playing Lego when I was a child, and it relaxes me now in a difficult time. I put my lego houses on my mantle. I realize now why. They make me happy every time I see them! They might not be the kind of decoration you expect in a widow's living room. But I don't care! 😊❤

[@antoniareithmayer2532]

Dear Cas. I started to call anxiety "a friend, who warns me about danger". And if I feel it, I ask myself, what is the danger? I think it trough and if it is a real danger or if my frind is just overreacting. If the feeling is very strong and prevents me from thinking trough, I always pray the shortest prayer I know: "Jesus help!", which helps to calm down. I hope my expirience can help someone else.

Dear Cass You keep digging, deeper and deeper into the underbelly of what fuels clutter and over consumption. Another exceptional podcast to liberate your listeners and your co-speaker into a better life, a joy full life. Thank you for all you share and how vulnerable you allow yourself to be to help us see and release what is holding us back too. ❤

I can totally relate to stress affecting the body! 2012-2013 I had a horrible year - my grandpa passed away, I found out I had Lyme Disease, my mom fell and hurt her hip and I took care of her for awhile, my aunt found out she had breast cancer, my BIL had an emergency appendectomy, my grandma fell and broke her hip and was in and out of rehab and kept catching C. Diff and almost dying, my 11 yr old cousin had swine flu and pneumonia and almost died, my grandparents ended up having to move to assisted living and that caused A LOT of family stress, my grandpa was in a car accident and had 4 craniotomies and we were told to say our goodbyes... And at the end of this 11 month period I started having anaphylaxis over any little thing! I was so terrified. 😢 It's been a long process of dragging myself out of that hole. You are so right that contentment and gratitude are crucial! Had to cry a few times during this - it was so cathartic! Thank you both! Edited to make clear that this happened around 10 yrs ago - doing much better now!

[@Mariana-ym6zf]

I feel for you!!! I've been through a tough few months as well and can just imagine what you went through. I really hope you find the best way possible to take care of yourself to "survive" and handle all these things coming your way!

@@Mariana-ym6zf Thank you so much! That was actually about 10 yrs ago (my comment was so long that I cut out a few parts and accidentally cut out the part where I mentioned that - oops!). I am doing much better now. My grandpa recovered from his brain trauma, at least somewhat, but miraculously didn't pass away until 2020 and I am thankful for every extra moment I had with him! I met a wonderful man who was able to understand my health issues in 2018 and we got married in 2020. I have been gradually improving both in health and in my stress response over the past 10 yrs. I hope whatever you have been going through recently resolves and if not that you find the strength and joy you need to deal with your circumstances! 🙏

Cas you are to me what Peter Walsh is to you. I have energy I never knew I could have. I'm 67 yrs old, so I don't do much at a time. But with you telling me I can do something for 5 minutes or take 5 things out at a time I have been able to get started and I can feel the difference in myself already. Thank you so very very much. I will always be your biggest fan. Thank you again

Thank you for introducing me to Amanda Gore. She is smart and lovely!❤

[@natureselement7588]

"We teach best what we need to learn." Love the quote. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@HitherandYarn]

This video is amazingly right on target. I had never heard of someone who didn't feel safe when someone smarter isn't in the room. It's very mind opening. I can see why I have certain problems. I was easily distracted as a child and yet got mostly A's in school, because I only had to hear something once and could remember it and understand it. However, I don't feel smart enough to lead, because I've been rejected by so many people, so I feel I must not be smart since I'm not liked. I need to delve into this. Thank you.

[@ninnymuggins5159]

One aspect of a feeling of unworthiness is a lack of money. If you see something you love but you cannot afford it, or you're really watching your spending, it can make you feel like you don't "deserve" that beautiful thing, or a nice restaurant, or a vacation, etc. With the economy so bad, layoffs, inflation, wars, etc. more people than ever will have to give up everything but bare necessities.

[@MsJ0an]

Thank you for this video ❤ My Mom has always been emotionally unstable but since my Dad's failing health the episodes have dramatically increased. This interview has helped me to better understand the root cause of her anxiety. It has also helped me understand why myself and my sisters have very low self-worth. This is definitely going into my star category for excellence.

[@jwuertz7101]

What a lovely comcersation to be able to listen to!! Lots to consider and reflect upon both for life and decluttering. ❤

[@jenniferfrasle6574]

Amanda is darling and I love everything she had to say! This video brought out all of the feels for me. The little girl in me was so so afraid and it still haunts me today. This makes me feel not as alone in that, and I can see hope that there’s an alternative to always being scared. Also I love that Amanda is taking what you say and changing her thinking as well. That shows extreme maturity and empathy, that most people do not have. Love this video! Thank you, Cas and Amanda!

[@haiketremblay5816]

I discovered Clutterbug very recently and love it. Cas, you are so lovely and fun. This episode was so interesting and helpful. I love the idea of separating thoughts from feelings and the stories we tell ourselves. We have the power to change the story.

[@dptfo]

16:00 sobbing because of this part. I’m a mom of two, soon to be three, and trying to navigate this. Not joy. But, about Felt safety. About self-worth. About allowing myself to play with my kids, when I’m so overwhelmed with all this pressure and all this work. Like. I know I’m going to get in trouble if I keep playing, and I don’t stop to clean this mess, if I can’t keep it clean if I can’t do all the things that are expected of me. And it robs me of joy, it robs me of play, it robs them because I’m always feeling like mess, or dinner, or an errand undone is a threat

[@Jane-cr9bp]

Lovely podcast Cas. Amanda is great. And to see her take on board your suggestions just proves how having an open mind can take you places you'd never thought possible.

[@mariemilycraig]

Hi Cas! I'm just at minute 15, but wanted to say that I think you being terrified to lead also maybe comes from your Obliger tendency. I noticed a lot of Obligers feel very unsure of who they are, because their natural instinct is so much to fulfil other people's expectations of them. And when they are the 'main person' it gives them a sense of insecurity, because they don't have that higher ranking person who sets the expectations. Obligers have a natural resistance to their own expectations, and that's what makes it hard when you are the expectation-setter. But the more you become in tune with who you are, the more manageable it becomes, so I think you're already on the right track! I'm a Rebel, so I experience feelings of resistance towards all expectations. What helped me was to accept that those feelings are always going to be there, but that doesn't need to prevent me from making good choices! So nowadays accepting responsibility comes a little bit easier 😊

Thank you so Cas for your heart to help us. ♥️ you're amazing 👏

[@reginamecco2915]

Manifestation happens via FEELING not thinking or declaring. FEELING gratitude beforehand literally opens up the vortex for the manifestation to happen. If we visualize our outcome-start small, maybe its that space on the floor that 'squatters' have been occupying-imagine the space cleared out, and feeling the pleasure that will give you. We rehearse it consciously. We are doing this anyway, unconsciously rehearsing negative emotions associated with the chaos. We can choose joy, we can choose the reality we desire (to dovetail on the quantum physics comment).

[@carolynjory8683]

Fantastic episode. Richard Branson/virgin company used to say he was successful despite his dyslexia then reframed to he was successful because of his dyslexia. Remember being told as a child non academic and put in lower clases because of undiagnosed dyslexia. Also being left alone at home at age 6 or 7 those fears really make sense and to tell that little crying girl she is safe and can stop worrying and play. Love the idea of intensional displaying your joy items and the frequency item gives i can understand more than spark joy ❤❤❤❤

[@Kristabelle85]

The way Peter Walsh asks the question in ‘Space Invaders’ (Aus tv show) when people are struggling to let go of items is fantastic because he asks ‘why or what are you feeling?’ and he gets them to unpack the emotions surrounding it. Then, he just allows them to make peace with their decision of keeping or donating/discarding.

R G Hamer wrote the book mentioned by rhe guest. His theory of the trauma location in the brain resulting in illnesses and cancer are not based in scientific fact. He was a doctor whose license was revoked. He was found guilty in several European countries of literally harming patients and he was incarcerated.

[@TheAlaskanForager]

That’s why it’s called a “theory.”

[@limonade2684]

Yes, I wrote this too, but is hasn't shown. He was really dangerous and the police examind 80 cases of death related to him.

​@@TheAlaskanForagerHe really killed a person, not theoratically.

[@melaniealberts1825]

@@TheAlaskanForager In the scientific method, a theory is a system of objective and scientific founded statements. It is probable or rebuttable. In this system, principles can be found and a prognosis for future events can be made. At least where I live, the word theory is used more in a subjective way. "I think, this happened" = theory

Worthless...yes, that so hit home. Excellent podcast. I have never been one to decorate too much because then I would have to dust it. I do like to keep photos and other things that bring me joy hanging on the wall, though. Sometimes even hanging on furniture (wire pantry shelves, the posts of a corner knick-knack unit). I actually hung a rack of sorts on the side of my wardrobe and my favorite jewelry got hung on it, and my other jewelry got decluttered. It is so beautiful to look at and keeps everything from tangling plus out where I can see it and therefore enjoy it.

Thank you both so much, Cass and Amanda. I needed this, this morning. My Mum died exactly 2 years and 2 days ago. And it was like a grenade went off in my head at the time. I’ve spent the last two years in utter chaos and stress. Finally I feel like I can maybe focus on myself and trying to deal with all the damage. This podcast was the BEST way I could have possibly started this dull rainy Melbourne morning, pairing it with a walk in the drizzle. Also had to laugh…only a fellow Aussie could drop a ‘wank’ bomb in casual conversation and get away with it. Loved it!

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

I relate to that too. (worthlessness, and not feeling safe, unless there's someone much smarter than me and able to take up leadership if necessary). (and I relate to the "fear of success" -- not good enough, not capable to handling what decluttering etc.... will make possible...... and my thinking I don't deserve the good... ).

Also, when you do get your house in order. What will replace the dirty house that used to occupy all your time and efforts? You have to have a plan for this, I think. Decide you will learn a language you always wanted to learn, or another skill, like piano or art. But, have a plan. I find myself sabotaging myself all the time. I get the house in order then I feel uncomfortable and intentionally screw it up. It probably does have something to do with as you said, I don't deserve this. I feel safer when the house is a mess, because I will be able to fill time with trying to fix that. My future is then secure.

I'm sorry for strange wording or sentences. English isn't my nativ language. New Germanic Medicine by Hamer is absolutely nothing to talk about in a good way. The inventor was deeply antisemitic and spread conspiracy myths. GNM is also spread todays right-wing extremists. There are several cases of children that were denied proper treatments for their illnesses (cancer, diabetes) by their parents. Some died. Adults also opted out of proper treatments because they followed his doctrine. A lot of his patients, or shall I say victims, died or had way longer and complicated treatments. After some of his victims died, he said, that they were killed via satellites. His explanatory statement was, that they got chip implants in other treatments to be killed on an instant if needed. In medical studies nothing of GNM could find any evidence. All his medical standpoints are proven wrong or are against valid scientific methods. Yes, stress and trauma work badly on the mind and body. But justifying it with Hamer is absolutely wrong. For those who understand German, I recommend the Quarks Science-Cops Podcast Episode 64 here on KZbin or in the ARD Audiothek.
