How is Decluttering Sustainable? The More Clutter We Have, The More Waste We Produce.

Decluttering forces you to take a closer look at your spending and living habits, which can help identify ways to cut costs, reduce your waste output, and make updates to consume less energy.  The more things we own, the more we forget what our favorites are.  When we have so many options, we try to give everything special attention which can be overwhelming.

Decluttering is self reflection.  Decluttering presents the opportunity to reset and refresh both your space and your mind.  By taking stock of what you own, you're able to confront your inner consumerist and build a more intentional relationship with your belongings.

Things hold energy.  Decluttering helps release energy that no longer serves you in your current chapter — creating room for growth.  Ask yourself:

• Are you holding onto something that doesn't fit you?
• Would you ever wear it out of the house?
• Does it spark a negative or positive memory?
• Are you holding onto it out of shame or obligation?

One of the most common question we get asked during a session is, "Where did this all come from?"  The pandemic and rise of social media has caused a surge in online shopping, and overconsumption.

People often:  

• Find a hit of dopamine and instant gratification from shopping. 
• Get hand-me-downs thrust upon them & feel guilt of discarding gifts.
• Are uncomfortable with empty space and feel rush to fill it
• Feel attached to souvenirs, when the memory is enough. You don't need a physical reminder.
• Are overwhelmed and do not have the time to actually process a return or donate discards.

One of the most common questions we get asked during a session is:
