decluttering for clarity

when I was 20 I read marie kondo’s book the life changing magic of tidying up and it changed my life. I’ve always felt like my space represented my current state of mind. when my space gets cluttered it’s a big indicator that I need to do a detox / cleanse of my space. I’ll put on music, a podcast, or audio book and clean / organize. if an item laying out isn’t serving a purpose, then it needs to be put away or donated. and without a doubt I always feel sooo good after! 🫶🏼 #lemon8partner #lemon8challenge #detox #declutteryourspace #clutterfreevibes

... Read moreDecluttering not only impacts your physical space but also your mental state. Incorporating routines such as sorting through belongings and asking if items serve a purpose can be pivotal. Keeping only what you truly need facilitates clear thinking and creativity. Start small—commit to decluttering one room or space at a time, gradually building new habits. Utilize tools like music or audiobooks to make the process enjoyable. Consider donating items to give them a second life, contributing to a clutter-free vibe and a more serene personal environment. Remember, a clean space encourages a productive mindset, allowing for better focus and enhanced creativity.
