Ep 163: Decluttering Hack: Why Fresh Starts Work and How to Use Them to Your Advantage
If you struggle with decluttering and organizing, the thing you just might need is a fresh start.
A fresh start is any milestone or significant event that marks a new beginning or a potential change in your life.
Why are these fresh start dates so powerful for decluttering? Well, they give us a chance to reflect on where we are and where we want to be.
They act as a natural reset button, encouraging us to let go of things that we may not have even noticed and make room for space to breathe. It’s not about getting rid of stuff for the sake of making room for the newest trends. It’s about creating space for the person you want to be, the home you want to create, and the life you want to be living.
Fresh starts allow us to let go of the shackles of the past and move forward (maybe not confidently), but bravely.
Plus, when you're a busy parent, having a decluttered home can make a world of difference in reducing stress and creating a more peaceful environment for you and your family so it’s worth giving fresh starts a try.
