Why You Need to Stop Relying on Familiar Routines
If you’re feeling stuck or unfulfilled, it might be because you’re playing it too safe, sticking to what’s familiar. And let’s be honest, doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is a dead end. So, if you’re ready to break the cycle and see real change in your day-to-day life, whether it’s decluttering, pursuing a new project, or advancing your career, this is for you.In this episode of the Clarity Club, we will explore the concept of “stepping out of character” and how doing so, even in small ways, can radically shift your mindset, boost your productivity, and bring you a new sense of clarity and fulfillment. I will explain how you can challenge yourself to behave differently (in 4 steps) — but in the direction of who you want to become.Discussed in This EpisodeUnderstanding the problem with familiarityThe power of breaking characterExamples of what it looks like to step out of characterHow to step out of character (in 4 steps)Links Mentioned in This EpisodeArticle: (Retrospectives) A Great Tool to Add to Your Journaling Routine—When You’re Ready📬 The Clarity Club Newsletter🧰 Get The Declutter Kit (complete decluttering system) —Connect with Ronald📹 YouTube📸 Instagram🧵 Threads🐦 X (Twitter)🔵 Facebook —Say Thanks!💜 Leave a review on Apple Podcasts🟢 Leave a rating on Spotify

You Can Be More With Less, Here's How
I want to ask you to participate in a little exercise with me that’s going to help lay the foundation for this conversation. I want you to stand in front of a mirror and ask yourself "who would I be, if I had nothing but myself and this mirror in front of me." How would you answer that question? See the reason I’m asking you to participate in this exercise with me or at least think about this question, is because it changes the narrative around this minimalism journey we’re traveling. Instead of it being about owning less things, it makes it about the person we see in the mirror.// Gain access to the private podcast: patreon.com/ronaldlbanks// Read episode show notes and other resources at: www.ronaldlbanks.com// Follow @imronbanks on social media everywhere—Instagram, Facebook, Twitter.
