DE-CLUTTERING

[HippyDaisyChick]

De-cluttering...is that actually a word..hmmm....well...in the book of hippydaisychick...yes it is...Anyway, I just wanted to share with you what is going on at my humble abode. We have heard so many special discussions about de-cluttering your life and your home and your mind to bring peace. I have to tell you, I am finding that this is so very true!

My house and cleaning has been let go for the past 7 months because of the accident I was in last August. All of my family has been gracious and picked up and helped with things, don't get me wrong. But, they don't clean like I do, do you know what I mean. I am the only girl in a house full of boys. And, they try really hard, but thing got shoved into drawers, or closets, under the rug in and in the sofa cushions...and left....lol...they really meant well and tried so freaking hard....and alas...it just has gone...not very well.

So, my wonderful husband took two of his vacation days this last week and helped me complete my "honey-do" list. It has been the most beautiful act of love and unselfishness, and de-cluttering you have ever seen. My house looks amazing. Everything is back in its place, clothes have been sorted, things have been given away and removed from my house and boxes emptied. My kitchen is almost completely organized. My house smells good...even the bathrooms...sorry if that is too much information.

So, why am I sharing this with you you are probably asking yourself. Because. i have found that I am more successful when my home is organized. I am realizing so many things from this simple little thing of organization and de-cluttering and yes, even cleansing my house. It is now, and so am I am magnet for success.

If you have put this off in your life...for what ever reason, mine was unavoidable....and yours may be to...sometimes you have to make some small sacrifices to turn your ship around to be successful. My husband has to work two jobs and take vacation days to help me....and now...we all rest and feel so much better which carries over into every aspect of our lives...including having time to be successful with raw and living foods and lifestyle...now we can speak from experience...I hope that this encourages you....

Blessings and Peace be yours today and every day..Happy De-cluttering Day to you and yours!

I am still in the process of cleaning the whole house half way done..... still so much to do, but getting there. I can feel what it means to have clean space, clear mind to think bigger and other important things in life. Thanks for inspiration!!!!

just back from cleaning my ENTIRE bedroom out - I have an enourmous bag of clothes, shoes and bags ready put aside for next weekend - I heard a friend is having a yard sale on April 1rst and I asked if I could join in...

so now I have an even bigger motivation to start hauling stuff out!

k, now off to pull apart the kitchen.

Thanks again for the inspiration....feeling  de-cluttered already

I do way way way better when I am organized.  Life has been pretty chaotic for the last year at casa indigo.  Things that have been put on hold for the year and being re-instigated.  There's a major 'stuff purge' in the works for the next couple of months.  There are plans for painting and flooring.  It's quite extensive.  Meanwhile, I've found over the last couple of months, the best thing I can do to help me  stay raw?  Write down what I'm going to eat the night before and prep it in the morning.  Then it's all right there waiting for me and there's no need to get waylaid by less than optimal food.

Congratulations on being well and organized and moving forward!

Did you notice how decluttering co insides with when you are eating raw or juicing?  It is like your body is decluttering and tells you to declutter your house.  Going to clean a junk drawer now!!   Have a great day!

YAAAAY ORGANIZATION!

[Peggy Speir]

so very very true.

Good for you getting your house in order. When my house starts getting messy and cluttered (like right now) I feel like I am suffocating, like I can't see straight. My husband doesn't fully get it, but when it is in order and clean I notcie he functions better as well - although he doesn't aknowledge this shift LOL.

Thank you the reminder - I am going to tackle one room at a time over the next few days for the ultimate spring cleaning!!!
