The Simplifiers Podcast Mary Baird

Time for a guided visualization exercise: I want to simplify how to keep calm during the holidays. It’s so easy to get caught up in the frenzy at this time of year. It feels like things are cranked to 11 no matter where you go, that it’s certainly counter-cultural to buck the system and to do something different. Remain calm, do less, stay present in the moment and choose a better way.
Therefore, I’ve chosen the theme of CALM for the month ahead. That will be our focus for all episodes on the podcast this month. By tuning in, let’s intentionally slow down this month and focus inward
 So to kick off the month, today is another guided visualization episode, which we’ve decided to release on the first Tuesday of every month this season. How does it work? Simple! Let my voice be a guide for you as you focus inward to help you tap into your inner wisdom and Intuition for answers.

Do you want to have a clutter-free Christmas this year? Let’s face it… Christmas and the holiday season is here and there’s no stopping it now. For some, just the thought of all the to-do’s and hanging with the in-laws gives you the hives. For others, the frenzy is exhilarating but by December 27th, you always seem to come down with flu-like symptoms that (totally) flatten you for days. Raise your hand if any of this resonates. But what if this year was simpler? What if this year could be different? And to that, I say YES!
My all-star special guest today is author Kathi Lipp and she’s simplifying how to have a clutter-free Christmas. With a bit of humor and a little sass, she’s written the book on almost every aspect of the holiday season, helping us decide what to keep, what to scrap, and how to not totally lose your mind along the way. Here’s how.
My all-star special guest today is Kathi Lipp and she’s simplifying how to have a clutter-free Christmas. We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including:
How she defines what a “clutter-free” Christmas could look like, not only talking about the physical stuff but your schedule and your mental wellness
Why we tend to get caught up in the holiday frenzy in the first place
What a “Holiday Mission Statement” is and how to create one with your household
How to apply 3 of the 21 projects from her book, ‘The Christmas Project Planner’ in to your life over the coming weeks in simple, practical ways, including:
How to create your Christmas prep space with a “Magic Christmas Box”

I’m willing to bet you’ve either heard someone mention “The 5 Love Languages” recently, or you’ve read the book, or you’ve given the book as a wedding gift to a beloved friend.  This book has taken the world by storm, remaining on the New York Times bestseller list consistently since 2009!
My all-star guest, Dr Gary Chapman, shares his brilliant framework for understanding how people give and receive love and appreciation. Dr Gary Chapman is the author of The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love that Lasts® and many other books.
In this episode, you will learn: More about the 5 Love Languages:
Words of Affirmation
Quality Time
Receiving Gifts
Acts of Service
Physical Touch
How you can tell which your primary love language is
Why it’s important to ‘keep our love tank full’
What couples can do when they are drifting apart
What some couples believe about marriage and relationships that simply isn’t true
How you can share the love languages with a partner who has a different belief system
How you can apply these principles at work and in your family
Dr. Chapman is an absolute delight. He’s funny, down-to-earth and shares so much wisdom in this all-star episode recorded back in 2018. I hope it brings a smile to your face, and offers you a compass to help navigate tricky relationships this season.
I can only hope that I’ll be this bright, warm and full of sparkle at age 81 like he is.

Time for a guided visualization exercise: ask yourself, what is your body trying to tell you right now? Based on the popularity of last month’s guided visualization episode, I’ve decided to release one on the first Tuesday of every month this season. How does it work? Simple! Let my voice be a guide for you as you focus inward to help you tap into your inner wisdom and Intuition for answers.
Listen and participate in an all-star guided visualization exercise: what is your body trying to tell you right now? Before we get started, here are a few things that you’ll need to do in order to get the most out of this. 
Create a safe space - no distractions or interruptions Take 3 intentional breaths together with me Do a body scan and feel your feet Time to visualize what your body is trying to tell you Listen in and follow along....

I’m on this journey with you as well… learning to listen more to my body, what she needs, wants and desires, too. When I calm my nervous system down, when I tune in on a deeper level, everything changes… for the better.
So, what does your body need right now? Can you give it to them today? And if not today, when? Bit by bit, choice by choice - healing can occur.
You can do this, I believe in you.
It’s time to SIMPLIFY.
