before i started decluttering, i had no idea how much the things that i owned & allowed into my life were holding me back. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
these things were cluttering not just my home but my thoughts, emotions & present moment.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
it was like living in a fog that i didn't even know was there.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
if you feel like you are stuck or overwhelmed in life, start decluttering. it may seem like nothing but i promise you, it will make a difference.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
pick one drawer or one closet today. clean it out. get rid of what you don't use, don't love & don't need. donate things to those who have little. be intentional with what you keep. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
unclutter your home & your life will follow! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Sometimes, a snow day filled with pjs, hot cocoa and movies is just what you need to make the winter blues feel a little less blue! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Anyone else feel the winter blues?? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Most days, I love the coziness of winter but some days, my anxiety takes over.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today was just what I needed! ❤️

As much as I love the holiday season, there is nothing like putting all the decor away and having your home back. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s like I can breathe again!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Does anyone else feel like this??

Gratitude changes everything.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Want to simplify & unclutter your life? Start appreciating the beautiful things you already have around you. Have gratitude for the good & the bad times. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Once you realize that you don't always need more, decluttering your life will be so much easier!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Do you know what one of my favorite parts of my minimalism & decluttering journey has been?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The space to realize how beautiful my life already is.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For as many years as I can remember, I felt like I needed a big house, gorgeous decor, designer clothes & a fancy car to love my life. To feel like I was good enough.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But through this journey, I have realized that I am incredibly blessed & already have all that I need. Sure, there are things that I would love to have down the road like a farm & an updated car but I don't need those things. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have a roof over my head, food on my table, clothes on my back & the love of my husband and daughter. Minimalism has taught me that I am so much deeper than material things & what you see on the surface. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today, I can honestly say that I appreciate all that I already have & am so in love with my quiet, little, imperfect life!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"I say I am not my haircut, I'm not my body
Not my clothes; I'm something much more beautiful
Deeper than even I know." - Mike Posner

i LOVE this quote from the first book we are reading in my new book club, the uncluttered book club!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
for me, it completely sums up my journey with decluttering & learning to live an uncluttered life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
stepping out of the rat race. not keeping up with the joneses. letting go of my attachment to "things." embracing the truly important things in my life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
it's okay to say no. it's okay to focus on yourself & your needs. it's okay to change your life, regardless of what anyone thinks. it's all okay. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
p.s. click the link in my bio for more info on the book club & to join! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

One of my goals for this year is to make my bed as soon as I get up every morning. ⁣
⁣
It makes me feel so calm when it is made! So far, day 3 was successful! ⁣
⁣
My bedroom, for me, is my sacred space. It is where I go to rest, recharge, sleep and meditate.⁣
⁣
Before I started decluttering, it made me so anxious in there! I was trying to fit so much “stuff” in my bedroom and I began feeling uneasy when I spent time in there. ⁣
⁣
Now, I only have three pieces of furniture and four things on the wall in the bedroom. And I have been able to reclaim my space! ⁣
⁣
Does anyone else feel this way?? Do you make your bed everyday??⁣
⁣
Swipe for the before ——>⁣

This is exactly what decluttering & minimalism have been for me over the last year. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have never felt more like myself. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When I started this journey, i could have never imagined where I would be now. I didn't even know it was possible. Has it been easy? Definitely not.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have been faced with criticism, doubt & frustration along the way but I will forever be grateful that I have kept going. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am by no means at the end of this journey. To be honest, I am not even sure there is an end. I think it is an ever evolving path to walk on that will be a work in progress for a very long time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Two things I want to focus on this year is intention and slowing down. Not allowing things, people, emotions, drama into my life that brings only negativity. Saying 'no' when I want to. Being completely authentic in all areas of my life. Spending less & paying off more of my debt.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Taking time to watch the sunsets & listen to nature. Sitting down with my daughter & shutting off electronics. Dancing. Laughing. Playing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Just being. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What is one thing you want to focus on in 2020?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

As 2019 is winding down & a new decade is beginning, I can’t help but think of all the beauty this year has brought. All the decluttering, stillness and simple moments. Here’s to even more in 2020. Thank you all for being on this journey with me! ❤️ Tonight, I plan on reading a few more pages of this book, having dinner with best friends & quietly ringing in the new year with my little family. What are your NYE plans??
