"Getting organized for the sake of getting organized is a waste of time. Getting organized because it helps you to live a richer, less stressful, happier and more focused life, is a goal worth pursuing." ~ Peter Walsh
Every room in your home has special meaning, and when clutter abounds, the joys that each room brings can be paralyzed and replaced with stress and anxieties. Professional organizers can not only help de-clutter these physical spaces, but help restore the mental, emotional and spiritual components of the rooms that are overtaken by your "stuff."
Clutter in the Kitchen
More than just Cooking Central, the kitchen is truly the "heart of the home," and with good reason. Here, we are nourished and provided for. Life’s decisions are made around the kitchen table, and family and friends foster their relationships here. An untidy and disorganized kitchen makes it hard to nourish anybody, on both the physical and spiritual level. De-cluttering your kitchen opens up space for you to receive the support and comfort that you need in life. When the kitchen fosters that kind of support, then those life decisions can be made with clarity and confidence.
Clutter in the Family Room.
Whether you are watching TV with your family, engaging in games or conversing with friends, the time spent within these walls can produce lasting memories, especially during holidays and celebrations. Clutter can turn these social spaces into dens of isolation, especially if the area is so bad that it has been ages since you’ve invited people over.
Clutter in the Hallways
Hallways are the arteries and highways of your home. Think of clutter in your hallways as a traffic jam that prevents important connections between your home and your life. Is your path well lit and easily navigable? Or does the hallway trip you up? Clearing the hallways will help you to enjoy your life with greater vitality and energy.
Clutter in the Bathroom
Every day, we use this room ready ourselves for the world. Clutter in the bathroom can indicate a devaluation of self-worth, a lack of attention to self that goes beyond the physical. But a clean, well-planned bathroom can become a tranquil sanctuary for rejuvenation and self-care.
Clutter in the Closets
Closets represent things that are hidden, unknown or unrecognized. When we fill our closets with clutter, we stifle our ability to be intuitive and cluttered closets can indicate issues that you may not be consciously aware of but which impede your progress through life, work and relationships. Keeping the closet door closed is not an effective solution. You should keep only those items that you truly love.
Clutter in the Attic and Basement
A cluttered attic creates a feeling of being under pressure. It’s hard to feel optimistic about the future when there’s so much stuff "hanging over your head. Meanwhile, the basement represents the foundation of your home, so getting the clutter cleared from here is imperative for a healthy and happy life.
Clutter in Your Garage
Your car is a symbol of your mobility, independence and ability to be in control. If there’s so much stuff piled up in your garage that you can’t fit the car in there, you may be cautious moving forward in life as well. However, a well-organized garage will help propel you in the right direction.
Getting these areas in your home clutter free is important for you and your entire family. Every magazine and piece of paper you recycle, every book you donate to the library, and every knick-knack and item of clothing you hand off creates space in your life for new insights, energy, joy and experiences.
My best to you for a clutter-free 2009!
