It is said
that people are "creatures of habit."
Sometimes our habits can even run generationally. Do you have a habit of struggling with
clutter? Did you come from a home that often
seemed to be cluttered? Though we are
creatures of habit, we can change our habits to form more productive routines
of green, clutter-free living.
Getting out
of the clutter- habit is a matter of the mind.
To be successful in creating a habit of clutter-free living consider the
following preparation questions...
How great is your
desire to change?
My husband
and I when wondering how our children feel about a situation, subject or
desire; will ask them to rank how they feel using a scale from 1-5 (1 = the
least, 5= the greatest). Scales often help our family make more honest
self-evaluations. How would you rank your desire to be clutter-free?
Why do you desire to be
clutter-free?
Will it assist you in
managing your time? Reduce stress?
Will this involve an
overall overhaul, or is the clutter contained to a particular area of your home
or office?
Does staying
clutter-free involve the cooperative help of the whole family, office staff?
If yes, how will you get everyone
on board to participate?
How much time would it involve
to eliminate the clutter?
What habits (routines)
do you need to put into place to maintain a clutter-free home or office?
Thinking
through these and similar preparation questions are the first steps toward
success! Elimination of clutter and
implementation of habits that keep clutter at bay will give you renewed energy
both physically and emotionally!
If you have
made the change from standard cleaners to all-natural, non-toxic cleaners; you
are already reaping the benefits of this new habit! Take the next step in healthy green living
and become clutter-free!
when you focus on all you have to gain, it's easier to
succeed."
