Letting Go Of The Clutter

Letting Go Of The Clutter

So if you follow me or know me, you know that I am a Professional Organizer. This is what I do, this is my business that I own. It is almost a sickness for me, in my personal life as well as in my professional life.

Everything must be in order. Everything must have a place otherwise I feel off-balanced. I get nervous and cannot relax if anything is out of that order. 

When I go to a friend or family's home and they have clutter, it is all I can think about. I can't concentrate, because I have this feeling of needing to clean it up to be able to relax and breathe. I don't understand how people can live in disorder. I can't imagine how it feels with so much chaos in their lives.

I tell my clients all the time. “Your home should rise to meet you. Your home should be your safe haven against the world. Some place that you can relax and feel free but how can you do that when everything around you is a mess? "Cluttered home, cluttered mind, chaos home, chaos in your mind”

It all goes hand know hand.

During the pandemic, I had a lot of time to get my own home in order. I got to clean out my files, and my own "clutter" which is very organized by the way but even I have some. I had to learn to let go of things that no longer serve me. I realized just how hard it is for my clients to do this as well. 

I tried to put myself in their shoes and started to dig deep into why I do what I do.

11 years ago my mother passed away suddenly. It devastated me as she was my best friend. It also taught me that life was too short and I finally found the courage to walk away from my verbally abusive marriage. 

While I was moving out after the divorce, I took this big black leather recliner that was hers with me, first to my new rental townhouse and then when I bought my place. It didn't match with any of my decor but I was holding on to it because it was hers, it was a part of her that I couldn't let go of. As much as I disliked the chair I still held on to it, as if somehow getting rid of it would be getting rid of a piece of her.

That time in quarantine gave me perspective on many things in my life, and what's really important. I realized that I was holding on to this like many of my clients do with their things. It was a need to hold on to something to feel in control. I was worried about letting it go and maybe feeling like you're letting go of that person. 

I realized that my mom is always going to be with me whether or not I have many things from her or no things from her, she will always be with me. I knew then that it was time to let this chair go. I needed to move on from what was keeping me stuck. I finally decided to sell it, and when the person came to get it, I wasn't sad. He loved it and was happy to get it, so I made my peace with it going to a new loved home and I moved on. I then looked at the new chair I bought, the beautiful one that matched my newly decorated room, and knew that I did the right thing.

So today my friends, I ask you what are you keeping that is holding you back? What are you holding on to that is no longer serving you? You need to recognize it, honor it, and then let it go. If you want to change your life it must start on the inside and the outside, it must all come together as one.

Letting go frees you up, and as the late, great Dr. Wayne Dyer once said;

"It frees up room for more blessings to come into your life"

And we can all use some more blessings in our lives.

So let go of the clutter, let go of the chaos, let go of what is holding you back from the best life you can have. 

I promise you, it will be so worth it.

"Be the change you want to see"
