Live The Life You Want To Live

Tip #16 – What is standing between YOU and the life you WANT to be LIVING?

What clutter do you need to get rid of, so that you can live the life you desire to live? What things are you holding onto, that are holding you back? Be purposeful in everything in you own!

Kristin’s Action Plan: There were many craft projects that I wanted to accomplish. I knew I never would. Looking at them, made me stressed because I was constantly reminded of what I wasn’t doing. When I donated them, I felt so much relief – sounds odd, but it was the best choice! I hadn’t spent oodles of money on them, thankfully, but it was still a little hard. Although, I have not looked back and today, I am dedicating my time to the things that I want to, instead of being reminded of what I am not doing.

How to Make Slime

Does anyone remember GAK? That ooey gooey slime that made a rather disturbing sound when pushed forcefully into a container? I remember making it with my classmates in 3rd grade and who knew slime would still be a hit? I figured if I could make it in 3rd grade, I could still attempt to make…

Hold On Just a Second

It’s the phrase I say oh, too many times to count. You often hear of parents talking about how much patience it takes to parent. The sleep-less nights, the tantrums, the repeating of commands. I am sure you can think of one thing that takes a bit of patience. But have you ever thought about…

Forgetting to Declutter: Garage

A dreaded space to even look at, at times, isn’t it? For some, parking in their garage is not an option because they have boxes and boxes of STUFF, filling every nook and cranny. Trying to find a certain item, is a hopeless cause – it just isn’t going to happen. Walking into the garage,…

The Dopamine Dilemma

Do you remember when there wasn’t such a thing as non-stop news? When you didn’t feel you had a take a side on every social issue at any given moment? When you didn’t have to battle your dependance on social media, like reels, shorts, and trends? When our source of news was simply the newspaper…

How I Created My Capsule Wardrobe

Have you dreamed of creating your own capsule wardrobe? When I set out to transform my closet, deal with the issues behind creating a capsule wardrobe, and then eventually create a capsule wardrobe, I realized that really, it had to be my OWN. Not like anyone else’s. I perused Pinterest pictures for awhile one night and looked at…

Fabulous idea to purge those craft supplies! Seeing them can be a huge disappointment.

I need to try to let go of "sentimental things". There are many things I just can't let go of because of who gave them to me, etc. However, the majority of them are in boxes I never open up and look in. It's the toughest area for me to organize.

Wishing you a lovely day.
xoxo

I love what you shared here. I too just decided to dump some craft / scrapbooking projects and I feel so much better. It is OK to change our minds and take things off of the "To Do List!"

I completely relate. We have a shop… You tend to hold onto things that you MAY be able to use. One day we decided to clean house and it felt great. We threw away things that we NEVER would use… UN-cluttering our lives!

  I bet having a shop makes it that much more difficult to keep the clutter OUT! I love hearing personal decluttering stories because we all (I feel) have some decluttering to do – the type of level might be different, but you are so right UN-cluttering our lives! Thanks for sharing!
