Home, Sweet Home

Home, Sweet Home

Home, sweet home is an expression of delight/contentment on returning home after an absence.

Research suggests that it originated from a song from the opera Clari, or the Maid of Milan which was first performed at Covent Garden, London in 1823.

The lyrics were written by American actor and playwright John Howard Payne (1791-1852).

Popularized during the late 19th century it became an anthem for soldiers during the American Civil War.

Since my home is an actual cottage, I especially love these few lines:.

Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam,
Be it ever so humble there’s no place like home!
An exile from home splendor dazzles in vain;
Oh, give me my lowly thatch’d cottage again!
Home! Home! Sweet, sweet home!
There’s no place like home!

So how are you feeling about your home these days? Is your home something you refer to as home, sweet home after an absence or do you feel anxious and overwhelmed upon your return?

In a study that surveyed residents of the US and Canada on the relationship between clutter and personal well-being, the research hypothesizes that clutter might prevent people from reaping the benefits of having a home – a place commonly associated with comfort and security.
(“The Dark Side of Home” – Journal of Environmental Psychology)

One of the key findings was that:

Clutter had a negative impact on self-reported well-being and a “strong negative impact on feelings of security, safety and other positive emotional benefits derived from a sense of psychological home,” a term that refers to the concept of “home” as a “vital source of meaning, belonging, and identity.”

The one thing I know for sure is that clutter hurts. It hurts your well-being in all aspects and robs you of having a home, sweet home.

If you’re experiencing clutter and are ready to learn some powerful strategies to take back your home, you have three things you can do immediately for a better quality of life.

Stress-Free Lifestyle Tools To Conquer Clutter In The Home and Office

STRESS-FREE LIFESTYLE TOOLS

To Conquer Clutter In The Home and Office

Rarely is clutter recognized as a significant source of stress in our lives, yet “Eighty-four percent of recently stressed Americans say they worry that their home isn’t clean or organized enough, and within that group, 55 percent called it out as a source of recent stress.” (Huff Post)

When dirty dishes are piled, laundry overflows and your belongings are scattered about, your stress level rises. Trust me when I tell you, clutter & stress is real.

It is estimated that over a course of a lifetime, we will spend a total of 3,680 hours or 153 days searching for lost items; phones, keys , eyeglasses and paperwork are at the top of the list. (The Daily Mail)

When we are stressed out, it not only creates physical clutter, but it causes mental and body clutter as well. What you may not realize is that stress is inflammatory. Inflammation breaks the mind and body down and leaves us vulnerable to sickness and disease.

This is why being organized is so important to our health.

Clutter depletes your quality of life and raises the potential for serious health issues. It is one of the major sources of stress and can exacerbate medical conditions. When a person is under the influence of a significant amount of clutter, their well-being is compromised, leaving them feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, anxious, depressed and even hopeless.

These unsettling feelings are not only attached to the person who is struggling with clutter but their loved ones as well.  It’s not hard to understand then why the home organization industry has grown by leaps and bounds and today has 32 chapters, with more than 4,000 members in 22 countries. (Fast Company)

The same goes for the workplace. The National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO) found in their study that disorganization can lead to financial losses equivalent to 10 per cent of a manager’s salary. NAPO also states that 80 per cent of the clutter in the office is a result from being disorganized and not due to a lack of space.

Some studies reveal the average person wastes up to 4.3 hours a week looking for papers, which adds stress and frustration to the workplace while reducing concentration and creative thinking – while cleaning professionals  say that getting rid of excess clutter would eliminate 40 per cent of the cleaning work needed.

Understand this. When your environment is cluttered, the chaos restricts your ability to focus. The clutter also limits your brain’s ability to process information. Clutter makes you distracted and unable to process information as well as you do in an uncluttered, organized, and serene environment. (Princeton University.)

This is why including “health care strategies” for clutter control in the workplace is critical.

Clutter, hoarding, stress, productivity, overwhelm,

Health & Organizing Go Hand-In-Hand

/in /by

The one thing I learned very quickly when I had my health scare was the value of being organized.

You see, we can’t predict the future, but we can control our environment. And having a living space that I knew I could rely on to be clean, tidy and organized made all the difference in the world for my recovery.

I talk about the benefits of being organized in this short little excerpt from an interview on the Life & Living Show.

Good health starts with being pro-active and taking a preventative course of action. Anything you can do to eliminate stress in your life is a step in the right direction because stress is inflammatory. So you want to reduce stress as much as possible. Getting organized is one way you can do that.

At the end of the video there is a link to my on-line version of Organically Yours that is bundled with bonus items, including a video series and workbook, 3 Lessons Everyone Needs To Know When Faced With A Health Crisis with video series, and a FREE Discovery call with me.

Morning Mindfulness of Clients With Clutter

I know this may seem random – making a video first thing in the morning -but I did. I did this because as soon as I woke up and went downstairs to grab some breakfast, it hit me. Wow – I love having a home that is organized – neat and tidy, because it allows me to continue the peaceful feeling I have from the moment I wake up. So in other words, I am able to carry that feeling throughout the day because my environment supports that.

I am very mindful of this and the fact that you are desiring the very same thing and yet you are struggling. This is what hit me this morning because it hurts me that you are not getting what you want. And for me, it’s so easy to have and yet you don’t. Well, the time is here that is all going to change.

6 Mindful Tools To Being Clutter Free is a program I created where I put all of my 20+ years experience together. It shows you within each tool, in a very precise way, how to get serious and real with your clutter so you are equipped mentally, physically and emotionally to combat it. From there, the program supports you with the tools to be precision like with your skills to learn the art of decluttering and organizing.  As you get skillful and find your way to a clutter free environment – you then learn with the next set of mindful tools what to expect and how to deal with backsliding to keep your living space organized for good.

Without a shadow of the doubt – if you follow this program – I assure you – you will be successful. It is not a program for someone who is going to dabble or play hide-n-seek with. It is for the serious student who wants to transform their life. If you are willing to show up – take responsibility for your life – and commit to the process without skipping the steps – you will be clutter-free.

Here’s my morning video with an invitation to learn more about how I want to help you. But you must want to help yourself too. Check it out and if you’re ready join me on a call for Monday – August 20, 2018 – at 7:00 pm – et,  here are the details:
