Spring Cleaning for the Soul: Declutter Your Space
Decluttering our space can be a great place to jumpstart our Spring cleaning activities. Removing things no longer needed from our homes and workplaces can improve our focus, productivity, and reduce stress. Our environments are often full of distractions – our phones, emails, piles of unfinished work, notes, and reminders of things we must do. Often, there is so much stuff in our environment that we barely notice what’s there. We have forgotten how an organized and beautiful environment can lead to more spaciousness in our minds.
Where and How to Start?
If you are like me, there are so many areas to tackle that it’s hard to decide where to start. This often leads to procrastination and waiting for the perfect time to begin, which never arrives. You don’t have to let the thought of spring cleaning your whole house or workplace overwhelm you. Small things can make a big difference and motivate you to keep going. Here are a few ideas to help you get started:

Try cleaning a single surface like your desktop, nightstand, or bathroom counter.
With the season changes, you may start by putting away the winter clutter in your entryway, such as bulky coats, scarves, and boots.
Toss expired products that are cluttering up your bathroom or medicine cabinet.
Take a few minutes to dust or vacuum the most seen corners or crevices of your home.
Add something to an often-seen area, like a houseplant or fresh flowers, or add a scented candle.
What Area Bothers You the Most?
If you need a little more help in getting started, consider the following:
Reflect on where you spend a lot of time or a frustrating area in your daily life.
Once you have that area in mind, consider whether something specific about that area needs your attention the most.
Once you have identified that area, take a moment to check how you feel about that area. Do you feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or even embarrassed? How long has it been this way? Was there a time when that area gave you joy?
Once you have identified the area for your edit, reflect on the following:
Scan the area, focusing on those items that are no longer needed or are adding clutter to your environment.
Next, visualize what type of environment would help you feel calm and productive.
Take a few more cleansing breaths and intend to create an environment that will support you.
