| 0:00.0 | Hi there. Thanks for listening to the Sister Circle podcast. My name is Crystal Evans-Hurst, |
| 0:09.5 | and I'm your host. Thanks for tuning in to another episode of the podcast that's designed to help you |
| 0:15.7 | live your life well and to make it a life you love. Listen, you get to choose. Do you ever feel like your thoughts are |
| 0:32.4 | swirling around in your head and you just can't get them to settle down? Are you mentally worn out when the day is |
| 0:38.9 | over? Does that sound like you? Do you ever feel like it's hard for me to hear God's voice? There's just |
| 0:44.5 | too much going on. There's too much noise. Have you ever thought even if God was speaking? I wouldn't |
| 0:49.6 | be able to hear him because my mind is just too full. If that sounds like you, you're probably experiencing |
| 0:55.6 | mental clutter. And just like you need to clean out your house, you know, we understand the |
| 1:00.5 | concept of spring cleaning. You need to clean out those extra rooms in your house, those boxes, |

| 1:23.8 | you can do about it today. Okay, there are signs of mental clutter when you, |
| 1:29.3 | when you are tripping up in ways that don't make sense. That is a signal. Let me give you some |
| 1:34.3 | other examples. You walk into a room and you forget why you're there. Now that one could be mental |
| 1:38.0 | clutter. It also could be paramedipause. You're constantly thinking about your to do list, |
| 1:42.9 | but you rarely feel like you're making |
| 1:44.4 | progress. I totally have been there. You can't sleep because your brain won't stop spinning. |
| 1:49.9 | That's another example. Maybe you open your phone to do one thing and then you end up scrolling for |
| 1:54.2 | 30 minutes. Here's the thing. You're trying to read your Bible. You're trying to pray and your |
| 1:57.7 | mind just drifts. If you feel like you're carrying the emotional weight of everyone around you or your |
| 2:03.0 | overthinking decisions, even small ones, being afraid that you're going to make the wrong choice, |
