Decluttering Your Life

Hey Goddesses! If you joined us yesterday for our digital detox conversation, you might've noticed something, when we put our phones down, we suddenly see all the actual stuff around us! Isn't it wild how one type of decluttering naturally leads to another?

Life gets busy, messy even, and it’s easy to let the clutter pile up. But here’s the thing: decluttering isn’t just about tidying up your closet (though that’s part of it). It’s about clearing space in your life, your physical space, your calendar, even your mind, so you can breathe a little easier.

Let's make this super simple and actually doable. No pressure to transform your entire life overnight, just small, friendly steps that make a real difference.

Here's what really works (and I know because I've struggled with this too!):

Start with just 10 minutes. Pick a tiny spot that's been bugging you, maybe that coffee table where everything seems to land, or your bathroom counter. Don't think too hard about it! Just grab a trash bag for garbage and a box for donations, and ask yourself: "Do I actually use this? Does it make my daily life better?"

Got clothes you haven't worn in forever? Instead of feeling guilty about them, think about how happy they could make someone else! Those jeans that don't fit quite right anymore could be someone else's perfect pair.

Feeling like your mind is as cluttered as your space? Try this: before bed tonight, grab a notebook and write down everything that’s swirling around in your head. It doesn’t have to be pretty or organized, just get it all out. You’ll wake up feeling lighter, trust me.

Here's a super helpful trick: the "maybe box." Not sure about something? Pop it in a box, put today's date on it, and tuck it away for three months. If you haven't missed it by then, it's probably safe to let it go.

Sometimes, it’s not your physical space that’s cluttered, it’s your time. Take a quick look at your schedule for the week. Is there something you said yes to that you really wish you hadn’t? Give yourself permission to reschedule, delegate, or just cancel it altogether. Your time is valuable.

The best part? Once you clear even a tiny space, you'll feel this amazing sense of lightness. It's like taking a deep breath of fresh air. And that feeling? It's totally addictive (in the best way!).

Want to get started? Here's an easy-peasy way:

Look around the room you're in right now

Spot three things that you definitely don't need

Let them go (recycle, donate, trash, whatever fits)

That's it! You've already started!

To keep the clutter from creeping back in, try this: for every new thing you bring into your life (a purchase, a commitment, etc.), let one thing go.

Every time you let go of something you don't need, you're making more room for the good things in life, like calm mornings where you can actually find your keys, or a cozy evening at home where you're not staring at piles of stuff that need sorting.

What’s one area of your life you’re excited to declutter? Share it with me in the comments or message me, I’d love to hear about it.

See you tomorrow for Day 18!

Don't be distracted by accusations of forgetting 

Follow what you are now remembering 

Trust your feet as they face down this path 

untrodden by mind 

Today’s Mandala Message: Declutter This week I’m working through Principle #28 from Jack Canfield’s “The Success Principles” entitled “Clean Up Your Messes and Your Incompletes”. I set my intention today to ponder the idea of decluttering…a process I’ve been doing for at least 20 years. I do value when an area is free of clutter. I feel like I can breath better. For the most part, I’m able to…

Sometimes it is good to declutter your mind.

Have some time for yourself, put your phone to the side & write down some thoughts on paper. Also, I would recommend you to read a book instead of watching a movie or tv show. Reading helps you to slow down and relax.

Clear up your mind, yes, ‘declutter’ your mind, if you need it. Reconsider and rethink everything if you feel like it. We sometimes obey ourselves too much to our day-to-day routines and it all becomes almost too ´robotic`, too forced and we lose ourselves in the hustle and bustle. We tend to become slaves of our own endless to-do lists, too many detailed plans, too many (self-) imposed `´stupid` life rules. And, then we become sad, overwhelmed, frustrated human beings, all because we forget to live a little. We forget what truly makes us tick and spark with joy."We are creatures of the heart, after all".

Still, there's got to be a balance between following your heart and following your head. And, it all comes down to three  instruments that we can make use of: our time management, self-discipline and self-awareness. It all makes sense if we think about it.

We need TIME MANAGEMENT to take our life plans one step at a time and always leave some windows for hobbies (spending time with one self) and spending time with our dear ones. Learning to divide our time better, it lifts up a huge burden on us and clears up our mind feeling stress free. 

SELF-DISCIPLINE, on one hand, helps us to move forward and never give up to everything that we put our mind to. We can make plans and to do lists, there is nothing wrong with that (Heck, you can always reschedule! I'm most certain not everything is urgent on that to-do list!). Do not lose yourself in this agitated, over-scheduled and overloaded life, and ALWAYS TAKE YOUR FREE TIME INTO ACCOUNT! We should never forget about ourselves and what we enjoy doing every single day. Please take some time for yourself, too. 

SELF-AWARENESS, on the other hand, it can teach us when to say 'no' and when to say 'yes' to everything that comes our way.  It helps us to consciously make choices of our heart (love and empathy) and our head (logic and analysis). It help us keeping track of who we truly are and what we need in life.

Let's ask ourselves, every single morning we make plans, "what is it that I can do today for myself ?" ("what makes me spark with joy?"). And, no, we are not selfish to ask ourselves that, we are just trying to live a little each day. Mostly because, we women, tend to put the other ones first (to just serve and serve ... and serve the others) and then we forget about ourselves completely. No wonder, so many of us, become unhappy, bitter and frustrated, at the end of the day. 

I’m currently on a strong health is wealth path and I’m feeling so much better for it.
