Maybe you live in a house full of clutter. Looking at it and thinking that he MUST order it, he may feel overwhelmed. You may hear yourself say, “I have to do something about all this mess.” So you can imagine some unknown force trying to intimidate you into “obeying” and “fixing” the mess…as if the habit of messing is a broken part of you.
Perhaps thinking that you need to reduce the entire amount of clutter quickly, other than you start to feel anxious, frozen, and overwhelmed, knowing that “fixing” the clutter immediately is impossible. You feel so? Or would you rather feel like you can make a difference to that mess while appreciating your efforts?
small steps
Instead of feeling anxious and overwhelmed about decluttering, focus ONLY on making a small, manageable section. Imagine that you have 6 extra minutes and you are going to use them to order a section or a room.
Then, after you’ve done the six minutes of cleaning, give yourself credit for making a difference in that area. If desired, hold clutter for 6 minutes in that room or pile every day until the entire section is completely decluttered. Remember to congratulate yourself after you have cleared.
use your imagination
Imagine that someone called you on the phone and told you about a newlywed couple who do not have enough furniture. As you listen to the person on the phone describe them, you imagine how good it would feel to help a newlywed couple.
You remember when you were young and you got married for the first time. You lived on a limited budget and could only afford to sparsely decorate your apartment. You remember that memory and think, “Maybe now we can give these people in honor of those who helped us when we were young newlyweds. We can give this newlywed couple our recliner and get a new one.”
I’ll talk to my husband about it.” You and your husband talk about giving away your old furniture to these young newlyweds. You clean the area of the living room where the recliner now sits.
You imagine a happy smile on the face of the young newlyweds who will receive your furniture. Her husband thinks, “Now I’m going to buy that new recliner I’ve been looking for to watch TV. This is working great. Plus, we’re helping a young couple. This is a great day!”
