Declutter Your Home for a Happier Life
The motivation behind decluttering and organising our homes is to create happy and healthy spaces to thrive. Our homes are an outer reflection of our inner being – when our home is disorganised and in chaos, often so are our lives. Have you ever lived in a home full of tension, arguing parents or a complicated relationship with your spouse? The instability and pressure of living in this environment make us feel anxious and even depressed, and the negative energy makes it hard for us to function.
Clutter Creates Negative Energy
Clutter and disorganisation also create negative energy; the accumulation of things overwhelms our mind, body and soul. When our homes get so cluttered, keeping on top of the small stuff and even cleaning the house becomes impossible. We can become entrapped by our homes, living in an endless circle of desperation and never knowing how to fix the problem. Leading to feelings of sluggishness, tiredness, and lack of energy which can quickly turn into mental health problems such as depression.
Create a Plan and Stick to it!
Think about decluttering and organising your home like a diet or exercise regime. You must put the effort in and be persistent when you start a new gym practice; over time and with consistency, you start to see results in your body, feel fitter, healthier, more energetic and look better. The same can be said for your home, it will take time and effort, and you have to stick with the plan to see the results. Creating a healthy home won’t happen overnight; breaking old habits and introducing new practices will take time.
But, with grit and determination to create a healthy home and a happier life, your hard work will eventually pay off. The trick is to nurture your home like you would your child or beloved pet. Fill your home with love and care for your home by keeping it clean and tidy, and you will be rewarded with a happier and more fulfilled life.
Ask for Help!
With that being said, some people find it almost impossible to know where to start, and the chaos around them keeps them stuck in a rut. In this instance, you should seek help from a professional who can put a plan in motion for you and guide you along the way.
Professional organisers love to help people, and our role is to be of service to you. Organising your home and making it a healthier place is life-changing; our reward is watching your life transform. Please don’t let fear get in your way; the fear of being judged can be overwhelming, but how will you ever transform your life if you don’t make that step – feel the fear and do it anyway.
