The Fresh, Free Environment
How one chooses to live is a very personal choice. However, when clutter starts to interfere with the quality of your life, it’s time to reassess your living space. If your possessions do not have a permanent place in your home, remember the Golden Rule:
“A place for everything and everything in its proper place.”
~Organically Yours
Part of thriving under the conditions of chaos and clutter is the ability to shift your perception about what a “clean” environment looks like. I will be teaching this at my on-line event.
For example, take a look at what the Clean Matters campaign led by Clorox has to say:
“We want to go beyond the functional benefits of clean and celebrate the transformative power of clean. As the category leader, we see an opportunity to shift the perception of cleaning from a chore to the start of new possibilities. Whether it’s a clean space to work in, a germ-free table to feed your family, fresh sheets to sleep on or pure water to drink, clean creates the environments we thrive as healthier and more vibrant versions of ourselves.”
Seeing beyond the clutter allows you to see the possibilities that are ahead of you. The challenge for most people is that they get “stuck” and “paralyzed” in their chaos. It becomes so overwhelming they can’t see past their mess. Everything feels like a heavy burden, a mighty task that is insurmountable.
Too many times I witness a family not sleeping in their own bed or showering in their home. Preparing meals in their kitchen is something of the past so they resort to fast-food on a daily basis. All because of the chaos the clutter has caused. It’s heart-breaking.
Does this strike a chord with you? Is this by chance something you are experiencing? Do you know of someone who is living in these conditions? If so, I urge you to register for my on-line event. I want you to experience the transformative power of a clean environment.
Seriously, I am urging you to register…

Chaos and clutter go hand in hand. It can be hard to live with clutter or think straight through the chaos but, most of the time, people who live with clutter and chaos think it’s just too difficult to ever change their ways. They can’t find a way to de-clutter their life and start living a stress-free lifestyle because they are so used to the chaos.
Can you relate to this? Are there times in your life when it seems like you are failing more than succeeding at getting organized? None of us will ever be totally clutter free, (we still need the necessary “things” to live) but shouldn’t we at least have some victory over our living space? A lot of people I encounter feel this helpless and frustrated.
If there is one thing that pains me, it’s witnessing this despair and hopelessness in a person. When someone is living in chaos and clutter, this is exactly what I see. It’s a heavy burden to bare when you’re trying to do your best but everything around you is out of control. It can be extremely difficult to make sense out of the chaos and sort it all out on your own.
That’s where asking for help comes in. I see things start to turn around when people finally realize that going at it alone isn’t the answer and accepting support is. This is when doors begin to open and the window shines with a beacon of light. This is what breaks the spell of clutter.
De-cluttering your life doesn’t have to be a solo endeavor. You can begin to experience victory over the chaos that has dogged your efforts for so long as soon as you ask for help. The key to unlocking all of this is to have a systematic, organized plan with built in mentoring and coaching. This way, every step of the way, you have a crystal-clear path to recovering and reclaiming your life back.
The peace you are searching for is not a lost cause. It is found in your environment – your living space – your home. Achieving that peace is possible once you decide you no longer want to be weighed down by the clutter. Instead, you want to bask in surroundings where you thrive.
In this live on-line event, I will be explaining how you can begin to go from chaos and clutter to a thriving, neat and tidy living space.
Join me and reclaim your victory today!
It’s mid January – have you resolved to reduce/eliminate the clutter in your life? If so, congratulations! If not, what is holding you back from doing so?
With the month halfway completed, February is right around the corner and before too long we will be seeing signs of spring. Do you want to go into another season with clutter hanging around?
Now I’m asking you these questions not to get you worried or anxious, but to help you see that procrastination can be your enemy, not your friend. The longer you wait the more difficult it becomes. This is true with many things, not just clutter. And by the way, just to be clear, I am referring to all types of clutter that can affect your body, mind and environment.
I would love to set up an initial conversation to discuss how I might be able to help you sort it all out. Feel free to reply with your challenges, struggles, and anything else you care to share. I will review your comments and be in touch shortly.
Remember, don’t wait…because time waits for no one.
Over and over, I’ve witnessed people feel lighter, happier, clearer and more motivated once they were organized.
What keeps people from doing so, is that feeling of being weighed down from their clutter – physical and emotional. They don’t know how or where to begin. The thought of starting feels so overwhelming, if not, down right impossible.
Now that’s POWERFUL stuff!
I know what it feels like to be in a slump and not be able to get out of your own way. I think we’ve all been there before. But think about this…it only takes one simple step to start the process of lightening your burden, and before you know it, you’ll be on your way to being organized and feeling so much better. Don’t you want that?
I believe you do! So that’s why I am doing something really different, so please listen up. If you would like to have a 15 minute chat with me, (totally complimentary) to see how I can help you get organized, here’s what you need to do.

For over 20 years, I have been speaking on the subject matter of organizing. Although the topic of wellness is now in the forefront, I still circle back around to the benefits of living an organized lifestyle. Yet, it doesn’t seem to matter where I speak, who is in the audience, or how I broach the subject matter, there is always something heavy on people’s minds.
I hope to hear from you soon!

Sometimes during the process of decluttering we can unearth unexpected memories, which can be very emotional. Old photographs, music and art can trigger an old memory of trauma like a romantic break-up or divorce, a loss of a career, an empty nest or the loss of a loved one.
Grief, deep grief, can make the decluttering process especially painful. Sometimes a grieving person will choose to declutter ruthlessly in an attempt to remove the pain caused by the loss. Better to have empty room than to face a constant reminder of what I lost.
Mentally, they decide that it would be preferable to have it done, in a sort of ’emotional amputation.’ For others, they are simply not ready. When they try to get rid of something that belongs to the loved one, it is like that person is dying all over again. If you are grieving, please be compassionate with yourself.

A cluttered brain can be filled with many things, ranging from all the things that are on your ‘to do’ list to worrying about how you will be able to complete everything successfully. One area that can predominately clutter up our brain is the constant banter we have with ourselves – our internal dialogue. This private conversation can influence our brains to have negative attitudes and thus, negative outcomes if we feed it negative thoughts.
Take Tammy for instance. She couldn’t understand why her sister’s life was filled with happy, positive things while her life was always a struggle. Her thoughts were, “Nothing good ever happens to me. Why do good things happen to my sis, while I always get the short end of the stick? It just isn’t fair!”
It wasn’t until Tammy started to realize that her sister always has a positive attitude. It doesn’t seem to matter what happens, her sister handles most everything with ease and looks for the good in all situations.
Maybe it’s time Tammy finds out more about healthy thinking. It certainly couldn’t hurt…
Can you identify with Tammy? Or do you fall more into the category of her sister’s mindset? There were certain things that led up to Tammy’s aha moment that helped her transform her thinking. Would you like to learn how she did it? Then, you should grab a copy of my new book, Organically Yours; Open Yourself to a Healthy Vibrant Life Through Clean Living. If you pre-order now, you can receive your copy for only $1.00 plus S&H.
There’s a certain connotation the word declutter brings to mind – don’t you think? For me it evokes a feeling of freedom. I personally don’t operate well when I have clutter around me. So anything I can do to get myself on track quickly helps not just with my immediate surroundings, but it makes my mind clearer and focused. My attitude starts to shift and I feel more energy. Here are three good reasons why decluttering is a healthy choice.
3 Reasons Why Decluttering Is Healthy:
1. You Can Decrease Stress; not having clutter around reduces your worry and anxiety. Next time your have unannounced guests, you don’t have to fret and scramble to hide things before letting them in. Just knowing your place is environmentally friendly is a load off the old noggin.
2. You Can Breathe Easier; regular household dust is enough to deal with. But excessive clutter may contain mold, and other toxins that can complicate health issues further, especially if you have asthma or other breathing problems.
3. You Can Clear Your Mind; did you know that clutter can actually interfere with your brain’s ability to process information. Think about it. Clutter is akin to chaos. Studies have proven that chaos restricts our ability to focus. When we are in a a clutter-free space we experience more energy and productivity.
Did you find the above information helpful? If so, you will enjoy my new book,
Organically Yours; Open Yourself To A Vibrant Healthy Life Through Clean Living. Here I discuss the concept of clean living and how it affects our mind, body and environment.
