Let The Fresh Air In!
Organizing, and decluttering are really two sides of the same coin. When we get organized, whether mentally, emotionally, and with our belongings, we make decisions that enable fresh air to enter our lives.
When we decide that we CAN live without that ratty old bathrobe and fewer clothes we are opening the window for some fresh air!
When we decide we CAN turn off the television a few nights a week we can make time for a new hobby.
When we decide we CAN find new homes for all those shoes that hurt our feet we make fresh space for more comfortable options.
When decide we CAN forgive that person who slighted us, we open our hearts to feeling lighter.
When we decide we CAN reduce the mountain of dishes we never use we discover that our kitchen feels more spacious, and we can still cook a fine meal.
Having more does not make our lives bigger and better. Owning less is better than organizing more. When we are overloaded with stuff there comes a point where our things own us and not the other way around. A fresh start is a wonderful gift we can give ourselves. Whenever we declutter and get organized, we automatically start the process of opening- up space in our lives. It’s freeing!
