The deeper I get in this journey the more I realize it’s all connected and it’s all the same. The process of change (decluttering, finances, health, etc.) is the same – we make a decision, we flounder and flop a bit while we figure out what our ‘new normal’ is going to look like and then take the baby steps (omg the baby steps! The slow, agonizing, but infinatley important baby steps!) to make it a reality.

I started out with FlyLady to get control of my home, who introduced me to LeAnne Ely to get control of my eating, then Jonathan Roche to get myself movin and grooving.

Thanks for sharing the connections!!!

And yes.. decluttering all at once is so frustrating that I gave up a few times. Now, I am doing slow decluttering, trying not to hang on to things. It will be while for a reasonable declutter, but I will get there.

Before I started my health journey, we did a major declutter of the entire house. Hubby had a week off work, and we did every single room in the house. Donated van loads of stuff, filled a dumster twice–all within a week. I’m not a baby stepper in organization, I’m actually very skilled at organizing. I had just inherited a lot of stuff from my dad and we had lived here 10 years plus all that stuff–it was time.

I really feel that clearing made way for my health clearning. Got the house organized, energies/space cleared, now what? Clear/cleanse me. That I did take in small steps. (I refuse to use the term baby steps as I’m a grown woman, not a baby. lol)

I absolutely get the point of this by Susan. We are a whole package and it all goes hand in hand.

I find when I clean and get rid of things, I feel so much lighter and happier!
