Raising Simple

By Zoë

It’s Backed by science. Let your clutter go.

“Your home should be the antidote to stress, not the cause of it.” – Peter Walsh

Do you ever look around your home and think: there is stuff everywhere, I’m overwhelmed, or there isn’t enough room?

As a mom of four kids, I’ve experienced seasons of clutter, my own and that of my loved ones who’ve passed. I have also lived in more than 20 homes during my life. I know how it feels to be overwhelmed, stressed, and alone in the mess of it all. And yet, I know I’m not alone.

It’s science; clutter can actually cause you stress.

Research from a 2009 study out of UCLA’s Center on Everyday Lives of Families (CELF) has shown that women who perceive their homes to be cluttered tend to have unhealthy patterns of cortisol levels. A team of professional archaeologists, anthropologists, and other social scientists studied the home life of 32 middle-class, dual-income families with 2-3 children of ages 7-12 in Los Angeles.

According to the CEFL study, the amount of stress women experience at home is directly proportional to the amount of stuff they and their family had accumulated.

Clearing the clutter and learning to let go is essential to living well.

We keep things for many reasons-it’s sentimental, we might need it later, it was a gift, it was expensive. From my experience, you will always find what you’re looking for. If you want a reason to keep something you don’t use or need, that is what you will find. This is why shifting your perspective is essential to letting go.

Let go of your clutter.

Uncluttered, is a 12-week online course intentionally designed to help you own less and live more. The course includes videos, live webinars, interviews, weekly challenges, practical tips and articles, accountability and an engaged community. By the end of the course, you will have decluttered every major living area in your home.

Uncluttered will provide the motivation, community, and accountability you need to declutter your home and start living a better life. By the end, you will have decluttered every major living area in your home and begun changing your spending habits.

Throwback to the summer of 1990 when I had like 20 Throwback to the summer of 1990 when I had like 200 stuffed animals. Pretty sure I spent most of the money I earned being a papergirl that summer on stuffed animals 🧸 😆
If your kid(s) struggle to let go of their excess or see the value in owning less, keeping planting seeds through your daily conversations. Create a home for their items to be stored. Allow them decide which ones stay in the designated space and which get donated.
My kids have a large basket 🧺 to store their stuffed animals in. They can keep whatever stuffed animals they want that fit in it.

Are you dieting this year? I’m not talking about Are you dieting this year? I’m not talking about the kind of diet where you watch, weigh, or count what you eat. I’m talking about the kind of diet where you watch what you allow into your home, heart, and mind. Be mindful. I know it’s hard. 3 steps forward, two steps back. 
Don’t let all the junk in this year. You deserve peace, happiness, and joy.
😘 ✌🏼 ✌🏽✌🏿

More of a good thing is not always better. How man More of a good thing is not always better. How many toys or activities actually benefit a child? The answer to that question is not what’s important. It’s asking the question in the first place that matters.
