Surfing the Waves of Change
Clearing clutter is a great way to prepare and navigate your way through challenging life transitions. When you let go of your clutter, you are making room for something else to come into your life.
Here's some examples:
Five years after her husband's death, Rachael wanted to meet someone new. Gradually she was able to donate her husband’s clothes. Two weeks later she said, "yes" to her first date.
Experiencing an "empty nest," de-cluttering helped Joan remember what really interested her before having children. She's now back in school.
With a terminally ill wife, George needed to create a bedroom for himself. We cleared closets, donated to museums, went furniture shopping, and decorated. He's sad, but happy to be sleeping better in his beautiful room.
Lynn has steadily cleared clutter for a year. She didn't want the burden to fall on her adult children after she died. Her kids are thrilled, and she’s found many treasures to give them. She’s asking first, though, so her stuff doesn’t become their clutter.
To make major life change easier, ask for help. A lot of things clear up when you clear out your clutter. Surfing through major transitions is not as hard when you learn how to clear out with comfort and control.
