Clutter Clearing - Keeping Sane

If you decide that it’s a great time to tackle your spring cleaning, here’s a few things to keep in mind to help you through it ...

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's important to set yourself a time limit. It might seem counteractive seeing as you have all this spare time but at the same time you want to feel productive. If you decide you are doing 1 hours’ worth. 30mins is for sorting and 30mins is allocated to the clear up (i.e. anything you are keeping, place in their 'homes' and move charity or trash items out of the room).

Choose a specific area within a room. Trying to do a whole room in one go can leave you emotional and drained of energy. Work your way round the room setting yourself time limits. Even if that’s to go have a break before starting the next section. This also helps with the clear up. How many of you remember having to sort your room out as a teenager? Or deciding to have a big clear out, only at the end of the day find half of the room was the dumping ground and you still had to deal with 'that' stuff? 

Be Gentle with yourself. There’s lots of energy in your home – even if you aren’t aware of it. Items in your home also carry this - it can include memories (good and bad), your feelings as well as other peoples too. Especially if you have owned it for years. 

Sometimes you don’t know what that energy is until you have moved something. They can also hold links to our limiting beliefs and patterns – which is a good thing if we are clearing them out!!

Honour what you are feeling in that moment. Be aware of the thoughts and feelings that come up - it will help you navigate the journey. If you suddenly find yourself thinking about certain people, places or situations, or you have a rush of emotions – be aware of them and try to understand what it’s trying to tell you. That way you can clear the energy around it. Energy or cord balance if need be.

Even unpacking boxes when moving into a new home can feel overwhelming for people. They just packed up all their stuff from one place and moved it to another. Sometimes the new energy needs to 'climatize' to their stuff and vice versa.

If you are helping someone else do their clear out, do not make decisions for them. Let them lead on what they need help with - even if you are just helping them move house. Also if someone has died, forcing the 'person left behind' to remove items will trigger their grief in ways that can seem irrational. They really need to do it at their own pace. Just be there, hold space for them and let them guide you.

How are you feeling?

It's a strange time to be living at the moment!

 

Easter is this weekend. By now my family would have chosen who is hosing and would be planning Easter breakfast and lunch! I've won that 3 times. Easter decorations and games is a bit of healthy competition! But that's not happening at all this year. Who knows dining courtesy of house party might be the way to go this year!

 

Me, I am fine. Thanks for asking. Half way through week 1 of lockdown my phone died. Literally after thinking it's not so bad, I've got my phone to keep in touch with people. I survived almost 1.5 weeks without a phone - my brother kindly sent me an old one. But in reality, I didn't really feel as disconnected as I thought I would.

 

 

Especially, after having a conversation with someone else who was struggling. Being alone, not having the contact they would usually and going nuts within their four walls. This person is a stranger to me. They reached out so I had to help them. In a healthy boundary way. So I thought I would share some ideas with you.

 

The thing I'm doing is keeping a good balance between working on my business and allowing myself to have playtime... oh trying to find a new level of enjoyment for cooking. Because I have a love hate relationship with it. So far, I've batched cooked a couple of curries and over-toasted my favourite Granola. You know what I'm craving right now - a cheese and tomato toasty!

 

If you are struggling to deal with a lack of usual routine, then keeping your mind occupied is important. This is important if you have a habit of beating yourself up. Make sure you do your one outing of exercise a day. Moving your body shifts your energy and helps you stay in more of a high vibration. Spending time out in the garden or nature helps you stay grounded.

 

Choose a hobby or new skill you have wanted to learn. There many online schools and it's amazing what you can learn on YouTube. Use your creativity to balance your sacral chakra and bring you new ideas. Trying new things helps bring new experiences in to your life!

 

Pick up an instrument or something you haven't done for years. What were you passionate about when you were younger? Connect to your inner child. Playing helps and if your inner child is happy, you're less likely to feel fear when you try something new.

 

I'm open to watching box sets, just not a whole day binge on them. I used to enjoy Greys Anatomy when I was younger however stopped around season 5 or 6 because you know life. So, at the moment my reward for doing my to do list is watching a couple of episodes after dinner.

 

 

Then there's all the jobs around the house that you've been meaning to do. Fix this and that. It's also a great time for a spring clean. It doesn't matter if you are a hoarder, over-sentimental of stuff or own a show home. Clutter Clearing can do you the world of good. It can even help you manifest the things you want into your life.

Plan things to do for when we are out of lockdown. Take the time to get clear on what you want to do. If you weren't happy with your job, why? what do you need in order for you to enjoy it more? If haven't had a holiday yet - where would you like to go. If you are.

 

Catch up with people you haven't spoken to in a while via telephone or video chat. Do you remember when people used to call each other before texting was a thing?

 

What ever it is that keeps you occupied, please stay safe xxx
