Decluttering can be overwhelming time-consuming. While it’s true decluttering can take a lot of time, the results can be life-changing! Before organizing your space, I like to talk about getting to Ground Zero. This is the place where all the unnecessary, unwanted, and junk is gone and you are left with the things you love and need. When you get here you will then be able to begin to organize your spaces. Decluttering first is key!
You know you need to declutter your kitchen, office, spare room, or garage. You keep looking at the space and walking by it, vowing to get started “tomorrow”. Tomorrow comes and goes, as do weeks and months. Why haven’t you started? Why do you keep walking by, feeling overwhelmed, guilty, and frustrated? It may be because you don’t know HOW to start to declutter that space. It’s easier to put it off, ignore it, and tell yourself that you will get to it later. Here are 5 questions I ask my clients. Answering these questions will help you to gain clarity and decide if you need to keep the items or not. Let’s get to it!

I've been thinking about exercising, drinking more water, and eating better food. For several months. Yep, just thinking about it. Then, telling myself that it's too cold to go outside and exercise. Now, that excuse is out the window, the weather is getting nicer! I don't have the weather to use as an excuse anymore. Bummer! But, I have been drinking more water (and dang, doing to the bathroom a lot!). And, continuing to think about making healthier meals. This is going to take a bit longer for me to decide how I want (okay, how I will!) to do this. I don't love to cook, or grocery shop. But, I do like good food! I admit I'd rather be organizing your garage for you, or your pantry, or your kitchen. Those things get me so excited! The food cooking thing, not so much. I am determined to make some big changes this summer! I joined a Facebook health challenge this week called: Live Well 7 Day challenge, so I'm getting motivated to make changes. I even walked our two dogs this morning with my friend Pam. This reminded me that I need accountability. (And, we're going tomorrow also!) I'm too lazy in this area to do it on my own, and it was definitely more fun and motivating to go on a walk with my friend. What things do you struggle with getting done? What things don't you do because you don't like to? Is it the food thing like me? Or, is it budgeting, organizing, cleaning, scheduling family activities? What makes you want to run and hide and forget it needs to get done? I want to encourage you to take the first step. And, to answer the questions at the beginning, I've felt like I can't get it ALL together. And, I don't have to! I just need to take one step in a direction to change the one things that I want to change. What's one thing that you want to change, learn, try? I'm curious! Reply to this email and let me know...I think we all have at least one thing we want to do. It's spring, and a time for new beginnings. What is yours?  |
