Mostly, everyone, in many forms, has heard of the term “Sunday reset.” This new onset trend encourages people to have a reset day every Sunday and take the time to clean and prepare in any way they need to before the upcoming week. I know I for sure love a good ‘ol Sunday reset. In addition with a reset day, I want to talk about another sort of reset that I have recently been incorporating into my routine that I am thoroughly enjoying!
My new favorite chore is decluttering and reorganizing! If you’re anything like me and instantly feel better after a good deep clean alongside the smell of bleach, then you, too, may want to look into decluttering. At first, it can be overwhelming as you tackle the thoughts of, “Where do I even begin?” or “What am I going to do with all this stuff?” When initially facing these thoughts, I first decided what my main goal was, and then I could work around that.
I wanted my space to be clean and organized, and I didn’t want to hold onto random items or feel burdened by useless junk. I would recommend that you first take everything out of the space grab a trash bag and throw away everything that needs to be put in the garbage. Next, make a donation pile. Sort through your items and decide things that someone else will love more! Whether it be an old sweater or an accessory that you’ve grown out of.
Once you’ve gotten these main things out of the way, you can begin the fun part…reorganizing! You have the power to decorate your space in a different way. Try placing your furniture in new positions, or just switch it all up if you’re feeling it!
This process takes a good chunk of time so I would not recommend it to be a weekly endeavor, however it is suitable for that bi-weekly or monthly cleaning mood we all find ourselves in. I find that when I change my space or get rid of clutter, my mind calms down, and I feel much happier. You’ve got to love the space you’re in, and a decluttering/organization day can help you cross the line between feelings of chaos and peace!
