Funny How It's All Connected

Have you ever thought about your space? 

Your home? 

Your rooms and how you feel in those spaces? 

I've had the opportunity to assist a lady who I call The Queen of Decluttering Helen Sanderson. That's even how her number's saved in my phone, Helen Declutter Queen.

Every time I have worked with her and her clients the experience blows me away.

Her clients are from all walks of life and the only thing they have in common is, they need help to declutter and organise their homes.  Sounds simple enough, I hear ya say, and why would you need help I also hear you thinking.

The thing is, everything is simple until it's not.  I've seen people suffering from genuine overwhelm and anxiety as Helen and I walk through the door to guide them through their session.

It's a whirlwind of emotions that she guides them through with such patience, certainty and grace. It's incredible to witness the emotional journey that happens as her clients start to choose what to keep, throw away, donate, and so on. Not only that you literally feel the energy shift as the hours pass. 

It reminds me every time of how incredibly powerful our mind is and how connected we are to our environment and spaces; for better or worse and everything in between.

I personally love to declutter. I grew up with my grandparents and they both kept EVERYTHING. It was hording central in every room of the house, workshop and garage. 

My Mummy on the other hand is a declutter nut. She's always finding ways to rearrange, re-organise, especially in her studio were she sews.

I definitely realise the lightness, I think is the best way I can describe it. Once I've cleared out things I don't need or haven't used for years, there's a feeling of lightness, of free space in my energy and in my mind.

Yes I've heard them say that geniuses are messy and that organised chaos is a genuine thing. I just know it doesn't work for me. Especially because I work from home, there is  a certain unspoken level of mess that I can cope with, which won't stop me from working and I can even ignore it.

Once my space get's past that level, one two many dishes, too much crumbs and fluff on the carpet and just too much paper on my desk, it's like a switch flips and I have to tidy, clean and organise.  Don't even get me started on what level of mess I can cope with in my Tween Cubs' room (my 12yr old son).

The true declutter happens at least twice a year because no matter how organised I am things just always seem to accumulate. It's a mystery right?  You ask yourself where did all this stuff come from? Why is it all here?

Are you a messy genius or neat freak?

I love this article I found on Helen's blog, that looks at why it's so hard to let go of things.
