How Decluttering Your Space Can Help You To Live A Better Life

Did you feel overwhelmed at the chores that need to be done daily? Cleaning the kitchen and the bathroom, and then the living room needs to be vacuumed, and get lost in wondering what's next of the ten other things require to do for tidying up the home. We all have a lazy pig inside our minds.  You are either fighting against it or controlled by it.  How we do anything is how we do everything.  Ever wonder the messy environment can impact our minds for what we do in our daily life: 

• Are you always late for an appointment?
• Are you always forgetting items when leaving home?
• Are you panic to find some important stuff at the time when you need it desperately?
• Food had deteriorated in the fridge.
• The home had stored tons of unused forgotten things while you keep buying new stuff……

How to decluttering and organizing your home? Learn more.

Are we reliance on the physical stuff to uplifting our feeling of happiness?  My hubby teases me to tell he always feels risky to open the closet door with the stuff exploding to collapse.  I decided to follow the decluttering method from Ms. Marie Kondo to organize my living space with minimal items based on her rules to:

• Cut off the unwanted things
• Abandon the excess waste
• Leave off the attachment to items.

It sounds good. Isn't it?

Why do people unwilling to throw away stuff?   Very often, tangible physical space is reflecting our intangible space in our hearts.   The physical chaos reflects we embrace a sense of insecurity by holding on the things of the past and refuse to let them go. We are sometimes confused about whether we need it or we want it.

Let’s me tell you a story:

Amy lived with her mother and a younger brother in a small apartment. She couldn’t see any point to place a big piano in the house when no one here knows how to play the piano. This piano belonged to her father.  But he had abandoned this family since she was ten years old.  Her mother was upset whenever her daughter raised the issue to throw away the piano.  One day, while her mother blamed her for not respecting the things she loved, she blamed her mother for not allowing the family and herself to let go of the broken relationship with this man.  The reality is that her father had abandoned this piano the same as he treated this family.  Her mother was speechless and burst into tears.  

It sounds bad.  Isn’t it? 

If you don’t cut the unwanted off, the chances are, you will tangle yourself with the complexity of chaos. You'll miss the beautiful future. Make simple in your physical space helps to smooth a spacious path for decluttering the chaos in heart.  You would feel good by understanding yourself by sorting out the items, sorting out the chaos in the heart, and creating a fantastic feeling of happiness.

If you feel bad to throw away things, try the following tips:

1. Thank you for those unwanted things that had brought you happiness in the past. Their value had acknowledged.
2. Make a rule of buy one and abandon two.
3. Steps by steps to organize things starting from the small space (wallet, desks) to the bigger closets.
4. There may be some items you are not so sure you won't regret after throwing them away.  Pack them up and leave them behind for a week.  If that’s nothing to get any feeling towards these things, it means they are not suited to your needs and then let them go.
