Clearing Clutter – 40 Day Challenge

by Leave a Comment

A terrific way to get started on clearing clutter from your space is to do a 40 Day Challenge to purge clutter.

I usually do my challenge in conjunction with Lent, but you can do it for any period of time to purge yourself of things you no longer love, need or want.

Join me in a challenge to get rid of the stuff that is weighing you down. I am not sure what my purge will exactly look like this year because I have done this practice for the past several years. And each year has been different, yet my intent is to get rid of stuff during this period that, for me, will start February 22 and end April 7. I will focus each day on letting go or releasing things which goes right along with my word for 2023.

 

 

Clearing Clutter

by Leave a Comment

Clearing clutter from your mind, body and space is at the heart of my life coaching practice.

What is cluttering your home, your expectations, your mindset or body?

Clutter is anything that you want to let go of but haven’t yet. And a lot of clutter begins with your thoughts about the things or situations.

What if you reframed your thoughts and focused on what you want for your life and what needs to be released or let go of to get there? Letting go of clutter, for most, has a negative feeling and that is why it is challenging to release things or declutter. But once we change our belief or thoughts and understand that stuff doesn’t equal the memory or old thoughts no longer serve us and new ones will move us forward, is really when we can implement change.

So, start with the end in mind and have a vision for how you would like to have your life look like a year from now and take that first step.

 

 

 

The Weight of Our Stuff

by Leave a Comment

We hold on to material objects because we think they make us feel secure when they really are cluttering our lives.

It also seems easier to acquire possessions than getting rid of them. Just as we hold on to emotional baggage that is difficult to let go of, our lives can tend to be filled with material objects that we may feel compelled to hold on to and that end up weighing us down. This includes the excess in our mind, body, and space.

Many individuals are not conscious of how much they own and how many of things are no longer adding value to their life. They hold on to material things because it makes them feel secure or comfortable. While it is true that the ownership of stuff can make you feel good, it can weigh you down, keep you in the past, overwhelm you or cause chaos. [Read more…] about The Weight of Our Stuff

Clutter Busting: Does De-cluttering Help with Weight Loss?

by Leave a Comment

Weight-loss research has revealed a fascinating link between eliminating household clutter and achieving weight-loss success.

There is a link between bedroom clutter and kitchen clutter and excess weight.  It is suggested that bedroom clutter disrupts sleep while kitchen clutter increases stress. Both a lack of sleep and an increased level of stress can contribute to overeating and, therefore, extra weight.

Are either of these areas cluttered in your home? Do you think there might be a connection between your excess weight and the clutter in your kitchen or bedroom?
