What do you think of when I say the word declutter? Most people don't think very highly of decluttering and try to avoid it if they can.I get it. Going through our belongings can be emotionally draining and overwhelming. But, living with clutter causes a lot of unnecessary stress in our lives so culling the things we don't need is important too.So how do we overcome our resistance to decluttering?Maybe you need a different approach. That’s what I’m exploring in this week’s podcast episode where I talk about the benefits of decluttering with a positive mindset.Instead of focusing on what you're getting rid of, this approach shifts the focus to what you want to keep. Positive decluttering allows you to be intentional about the items you choose to keep in your home and in your life, while giving you permission to release the items that no longer serve you without guilt or shame.This episode of the Wannabe Minimalist Show will help you discover:5 steps to positive declutteringThe benefits of decluttering this wayWhy it's better to focus on what you want to keepThe importance of a vision when declutteringWhat you can do to declutter difficult spaces*********************Links mentioned in this episode (some may be affiliate links):Get more show notes and ALL THE LINKS atwannabeclutterfree.com/152Tidy Home Academy - This life-changing course will help you declutter, organize, & create systems so your home can run on autopilot.The Home Systems Power Pack - A digital library is jam-packed with actionable workbooks, guides, pdfs, worksheets and more so you can start to make real progress in your home!Wannabe Minimalist Family - come join my private group filled with amazing people just like you who are on their journey toward minimalism and simplifying.*********************Music: Fresh Lift by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com*********************Subscribe & ReviewAre you subscribed to Wannabe Minimalist?
