Clutter Problem? Yeah, I had one for sure!
A few years ago, I had a horrendous hoarding problem. I was a busy mom of two plus two bonus kiddos and struggling to stay afloat. My house was a mess, my ability to think was a mess and the household management systems I had in place were a hot mess.
To say I was unhappy, overstimulated, overworked, and overwhelmingly exhausted is an understatement. I was touched out and felt so unappreciated in everything I did. I was over sensitive. I was quick to snap on the people I love most. I was losing my mind.
One day, I had had enough. I felt like I couldn’t keep up with my housework and do life (feed kids, buy groceries, go to work, be married, go to work, keep up with the house, be a present mom, be a present wife, be a good Jesus follower, all the things..). I looked up YouTube videos of how to declutter and feel peace. I started learning how to mentally part with the things that were making me sick every day.
Slowly but surely, I started to feel better. I started to get control of my house. I started to feel peace in the very space that is supposed to be my safe place. I started to heal. Over time I put systems in place. Even though I still do the majority of the house work load, it’s systematized.
There’s a place for everything and everything is in its place. Ahhhh, peace and calm.
Well, most of the time.. My house still requires maintenance. I still have 4 kids and a husband. We still live there and it definitely looks like we live there most days. But the difference is that there are systems in place to pull the house together within 5 minutes. Everything has a category and is stored right where it’s used. Systems change everything.
Let’s talk about you
Do you need a little bit more sanity when it comes to organizing and tidying your house? What could you do to start gaining your sanity and your house back?
If you are anything like me and are desperately trying to get it together and have less chaos at home, start praying.
Pray for:
- God to give you clarity and vision about what you can do to calm the chaos of your home.
- God to create divine appointments and send people to cross your path to help you in this journey.
- God to give you resources to help you (such as youtube videos, a support system to show up and help, mental help to process letting go of the things that have so many memories.
- God to help you heal by getting rid of all of the stuff.
- God to show you how free life is without all of the clutter.
