Change your life, by decluttering - really?

Well, yes - it's true - allow me to explain...

If you were asked to list 10 life changing events, I'm pretty sure that decluttering won't have featured on it.

Items like these: -

...will come to mind way beforesorting out the clutter you may have.

BUT..

Decluttering - done right - really and truly can change your life.

In fact, it can produce a fundamental shift in the way we think about our homes and our lives - and it can be incredibly empowering.

Let's go into it a little deeper...

Unfortunately, decluttering in a way that makes real, fundamental changes to your life, in a way that sticks - is not a quick fix at all.

But it doesn't have to be hard either!

Let me give you an analogy: -

When you decide to diet, you want to lose weight quickly and easily. Your weight is your clutter. You may reduce the food you eat and therefore eat less calories each day. You go through weeks of restrictions and yes, you find that you lose some weight - but chances are it will pile back on as soon as you start to live your life as normal again. Unless you make changes that work with how you live, those changes won't last and won't fulfil you.

Decluttering tends to be the same.

You want to lose the excess "stuff", so you spend a few days/weeks going through your home finding anything and everything to get rid of. However, after all that you still find you haven't fundamentally changed anything. You're either left with less than you want, or you end up creating new piles of stuff over the months that follow and the pattern starts again.

The 'weight' from both situations goes for a while - but usually comes back.

The reason? - you've made changes that make a visible difference, but you haven't gone deeper. You haven't looked at the fundamentals that will ensure those changes last.

Life changing?

I think not.

As with most effective answers - it's simple really.

To change your life in a way that lasts, you need to work out what you want you're really trying to achieve and work from there.

You want to go deeper than the superficial and get to grips with making your home (and life) the way you want it to be.

Instead of starting with a bin bag ready to fill, start with a pen and paper instead.

To do this, simply follow these 5 easy steps: -

THIS IS YOUR CLUTTER. PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

The rest? - well - that's all the stuff that helps you live your life - and that should all stay.

Start with what you really want to do with your life, and what your goals are, and you will much more easily be able to declutter that which doesn't help you get there.

All achieved by decluttering the right way.

Bliss!

Doing it this way will mean that decluttering should become a habit for the rest of your life, because it's addictive to shape your life and home exactly as you want them to be, and you'll want to keep going!

And that, my friends, is how decluttering really and truly can transform your life.

No more quick fixes - just real shifts in your thinking will make the difference you are looking for.

So, why not create the life and home that you want - starting now...

Make your plan and declutter around it - you won't regret it.

You ready to change your life? I hope so!
