declutter

Nearly everywhere in my life, there is clutter. Clutter in my home, in my body and mind, in my relationships. On my computer, in my car, my purse...

The list goes on and on.

I am tired of the clutter. Of the unnecessary. Off the too much. It makes me feel unwell, unhappy, frustrated, overwhelmed, exhausted.

It makes me be...not me.

I haven't really worked out all of the specifics yet on how I'm going to do so, but there is major life decluttering in my future. Today, I started with the possessions/home aspect and took some time to tackle an area that has been plaguing me for awhile:  my bills/mail/stationery cabinet.


Once upon a time, this had been an area where I could put my hands instantly on whatever I needed and not also instantly have an avalanche. I spent some time on it today and it makes me so happy just looking at the neat-and-organized-ness.  Plus, I don't have to dread opening the door any more! Score.

I still need to go through the file folders up there on the top left, and probably the basket too, but I left them for now. Baby steps.


Tomorrow, I will take another step on my life-decluttering journey. I am participating in a 7-day clean food challenge (I will talk it more in-depth about soon!) which will hopefully help my body detoxify and heal, as well as prepare me for the healthier and gluten-free lifestyle that I keep putting off. No sugar, alcohol, dairy (no cheese?!! This may kill me), gluten, or caffeine. 

I need to go to the grocery store...and binge on cheese.
