The Gifts of an Organized Home
As an organizer, I’ve noticed that when my clients wish to make transformations in their lives, it is important to help them set up their homes to support those changes. I also see the reverse as true. If they alter their living environment, their life will also shift in response. This back and forth dynamic is always at play, whether we are conscious of it or not.
Making intentional modifications to your living environments will have a positive ripple effect, and one of my biggest joys, is witnessing these results first hand. Here are 10 of my favourite benefits I’ve seen gifted to my clients from doing this work.
1. Gaining Extra Time: Establishing a set place for your possessions, rewards you with more time for meaningful activities, rather than wasted searching for lost items.
2. Greater Contentment: Decluttering and organizing lowers stress levels, and will make your home life more peaceful and nourishing.
3. Emotional Self Care: It will be much easier to support your mental wellness, when your home is working harmoniously.
4. Healthier Life: It is easier to prepare nutritious meals, and stick to an exercise program when the home is working for, rather than against you.
5. Home Becomes a Haven: Sometimes life throws us curve balls, and at those times you can face the challenges knowing your home will be your sanctuary.
6. Increased Motivation: It is much easier to experience productivity, due to the supportive actions you’ve invested in your organizational systems.
7. Reawakened Priorities: Consciously creating space for what’s important, helps you hold your core life goals front and centre.
8. Freedom to Decorate: Clearing the slate makes room for expressing yourself through your decor. Decorating is an inspired way to have your passions and interests reflected back at you daily.
9. Strengthening Community: Personal connections are important to nurture and maintain. Feeling good about your space frees you up to host your friends and family more regularly.
10. Increased Creativity: The happiest outcome of all, is flowing ideas and creativity across all aspects of your life.
We are powerfully influenced by our surroundings. Being aware of how our choices affect us, both positively and negatively, is the first step towards determining the changes we want. Letting go of outdated items and then organizing what you are keeping, contribute significantly towards building the life you’ve always dreamt of. A life full of purpose and joy.
