Why would you need help to declutter? This is just throwing out the things that you don’t want anymore, isn’t it? I can do this.
So, why do you still have all the clutter? Eventually, you don’t even think that it is clutter, but somehow you feel overwhelmed and uncomfortable in your home. But why is that?
One of the reasons is that we humans get used to situations. Especially, when things change slowly, creep in over time. It just becomes the ‘new norm’ that the closet is bursting with clothes, the kitchen cabinets are bending from overload, and the car is outside, while the garage became a storage unit.
Another reason is that we connect emotions and memories to physical things. This piece of China from grandma. This drawing from your kid. This pebble from your favorite travel. It is okay, to have some, but two full cupboards, three boxes of paper, or a ton of rocks might not.
How to get out of it? Only the thought to tackle this is already overwhelming …
Professional declutterers have tools to guide you in the process, helping you to break habits and develop new strategies to sustain success. It is okay to reach out for support.
