A Pleasant Solution: Embracing an Organized Life

04 | Where Clutter Comes From


Listen Later

In this episode, I define the meaning of the word ‘clutter.’ I also talk about three ways clutter surfaces in your home. 

Feeling uncomfortable is typical when we force ourselves to confront our stuff. Over time our brain naturally adjusts to being surrounded by clutter. It processes excess stimuli as being “normal.” Our brain tricks us into feeling like stuff just appeared in our home overnight.

Excess or overabundance is subjective. Your unwanted items may be someone else's treasure. Noticing how items arrive in your home will better empower you to take control. As the gatekeeper, you're in charge of what comes in and what goes out.

The clutter in your home didn't magically appear. You've actually allowed all in, one way or another. By increasing your awareness from this day forward, you can reclaim your space, let go of self-judgment, and make choices and change for the future.
