Decluttering doesn’t have to be an all-or-nothing project. It can be thoughtful, respectful, and yes—even healing.
1. Start small.
Pick one drawer. One shelf. One box. Set a timer for 15 minutes. You’re not
aiming for perfection—just progress.
2. Use the “Four-Box” method:
Label boxes as: Keep, Donate, Trash, Unsure. It gives you a system and lets you
revisit things without pressure.
3. Set emotional boundaries.
It’s okay to feel sad, nostalgic, or even angry while letting go. But remember:
you’re not throwing away people or memories. You’re making space—for peace,
clarity, and maybe even joy.
4. Celebrate your progress.
Take before-and-after pictures. Share your wins. Notice how your space—and your
mood—lightens with each step.
Decluttering is not just a physical act. It’s emotional work. It’s also
an act of self-respect and self-care. If you’re feeling stuck, it’s not because
you’re lazy or disorganized—it’s because the process is more layered than it
seems.
But it is possible. And once you begin, you may find that letting go of
what no longer serves you doesn’t erase your past—it simply opens up space for
your future.
Less Clutter = Less Stress SM in your home, your business and your life
