There are 4 main reasons you may feel stuck right now and have lost your spark for life. We all experience these things and Mike and I are here to share some studies and personal experiences that have helped us overcome these 4 things that keep us stuck. We share how decluttering our minds has led us to find so much creativity and joy through hobbies and the research that backs up how doing activities with your hands can boost mental well-being after grief. Not only is it possible to heal from grief and find yourself again, the process of healing can actually spark joy along the way.
