Clearing the WayIf you haven’t already, it’s a great idea to start with De-cluttering – Less is Best … Less is More … Your home should soothe your soul. It should relax, replenish and invigorate you. Think for a moment - How does your Home make you feel? Clutter can be a home atmosphere and home decorating downer. When you commence a home decorating project, it's better that you start with as blank a canvas as you can. That’s not always possible. Be ruthless and get rid of anything that doesn’t seem to fit in your room, your home, or that doesn’t excite you or make you feel good. By cleaning out the clutter and decorating to soothe your five senses this can bring you closer to the invigorating, energizing and/or peaceful Home Haven you crave. It will actually help you reduce your stress. An important golden rule – subtracting is often adding. This can be very difficult because furniture is often a very emotional thing for us. You may need some help with that. When you eliminate an item from your Home, you not only free up space, but you actually free up energy and make room for new energy to come in. It makes your home shine and actually makes it sparkle. Often, we can get so comfortable in our surroundings that we don’t realize that it would actually be less stressful if we got rid of these things. It’s not easy to break out of your comfort zone. Sometimes it can feel like it would be easier to just leave things as they are. Clearing the way and de-cluttering allows for space for good new positive things to come in and fill that space. Here’s a Tip - Get rid of pieces, items, furniture, ‘knick-knacks’ that don’t excite you, that don’t mirror who you are, or don’t reflect your Soul. Get rid of the clutter – move yourself to the next level. You could donate furniture or other bits and pieces to help others. One person’s throw-outs are another person’s treasure. You could even sell them on E-bay.
