Flowers are blooming and Spring is right around the corner. Are you ready to start your Spring cleaning? It is a tradition that allows us to eliminate clutter and discard things we no longer need. Living clutter free means more than organizing your living space; it also consists of eliminating mental clutter. When you organize your belongings, you will find that it adds order to your life and, in turn, helps with the mental clutter.

Clutter depletes your energy and sabotages your efficiency. You become paralyzed and stuck, unable to make healthy decisions and create healthy habits. Clearing clutter from your life allows you to focus on your priorities and achieve your goals, making you happier and healthier. An uncluttered living space helps to define an uncluttered life.

Begin the de-cluttering process by starting with your closets. Having a well-organized closet is a great investment that will pay off every single morning when you get dressed. Spring is the perfect time to start the de-cluttering process because you are changing out Winter clothing for Spring and Summer clothing.

Studies show that we wear 20% of our wardrobe 80% of the time. Start by identifying everything you did not wear this Winter. If you did not wear it this year, you probably won’t in the future, especially clothing items that do not fit properly!

Put them into two piles: donate and sell. Fortunately, we live in the age of Craigslist, eBay® and consignment stores, and couldn’t everyone use a little extra money these days? I also believe it is good for the soul to donate what you can.

When eliminating things and thoughts that no longer serve you, you will be reclaiming your space, organizing your surroundings, and clearing your mind. By doing this, you will reduce stress and it will free you up to create your ideal life!
