It’s Spring; the time of year that I get calls from clients who need help with “spring cleaning”. With new growth, the weather so fine and summer on the horizon, it’s naturally a time to want to lighten up and get organized!
There are many ways to de-clutter, since clutter comes in many forms beyond just stuff and paper. There is time and task clutter, emotional clutter, entertainment clutter and even body clutter. For example, aren’t those extra pounds just another bit of stuff you need to let go of and repurpose, into a lean mean machine?
I just finished reading a post from my friend and associate, Kelsey Lowitz, a Move, Grow, Know Transformational Life Coach. I couldn’t have said it better so I will simply repost her “7 Tips to Lighten Up this Spring”. Apropos to this blog, I’ve renamed it:
7 Tips to Get Organized for Spring!
- De-clutter: Clean out a closet, get rid of some old clothes
- Go on a TV cleanse– turn it off for 3 days (or more!) and see how you feel
- Eat KALE– it’s a dark green leafy powerhouse of nutrients, may help prevent cancer, is high in fiber and delicious.
- Play more. Take some time this week to just play. Incline your mind towards joy.
- Give thanks. Write a note of gratitude…to yourself, or maybe to your mother!
- Stretch. Go to a yoga class or just bend a little yourself at home
- Forgive. If you can, let it go, and ultimately you will feel lighter.
Happy Spring!
