The Power of Positive Thinking
Discover how less stuff creates more time, money, and calm
About This Book
Life feels crowded when your calendar, closets, and thoughts are jammed. This guide shows you how to win back space in all three. You’ll learn a practical, family‑friendly path to minimalism, how to stop negative self‑talk by rewriting the stories in your head, and how to protect your best hours from email and distraction. Then you’ll turn rooms into havens with cozy lighting, plants, and simple flow so your home actually helps you recharge. Expect real examples, step‑by‑step plans, and science‑backed tools that make change stick—even if you’re busy, sentimental, or living with people who love their stuff.About the Author
Emma Rose helps busy families create calmer homes with less stuff and more intention. A longtime simplicity coach and workshop leader, she blends behavioral science with warm, practical guidance that works in real life—messy schedules, sentimental keepsakes, and partners who aren’t on board yet. Emma’s checklists and micro‑challenges have helped thousands reclaim weekends from chores, cut spending, and build routines kids actually follow. When she’s not coaching, you’ll find her making soup, tending to her windowsill herbs, or reading under a soft lamp with her phone in the other room.
