Clearing Clutter, Clearing Space: Making Room for Who You're Becoming

There’s a quiet pull this time of year—a tug to open the windows, clear out what’s stale, and let something new begin to grow. But sometimes the mess isn’t just in the junk drawer or the closet… it’s in our thoughts, our habits, our calendars, or even our relationships.

Spring is the perfect time to take a breath, take stock, and take one gentle step toward living more simply and more fully.

What Are You Really Holding Onto?
Clearing clutter isn’t just about organizing. It’s about asking deeper questions:

• Am I keeping this because it brings joy or because it brings guilt?
• Is this serving who I am now, or only who I used to be?
• What would it feel like to let this go?

You don’t need to overhaul your entire home or life in one weekend. Start with one drawer. One corner. One thought.

Sometimes we hold on to things out of fear—of forgetting, of regret, of not having enough. But freedom often lives just past the fear.

Create Space, Not Just Emptiness
Once you begin clearing, resist the urge to immediately fill the space back up. Let it breathe. Let yourself breathe.

Ask yourself:

• What do I want more of in this season?
• Where can I create space for rest, connection, beauty, or quiet?
• What parts of myself have been waiting for room to grow?

This isn’t just about cleaning—it’s about becoming. And that takes time.

Gentle Steps to Start Today

1. Choose a 15-minute zone: A drawer, shelf, or surface you use often.
2. Set a timer: Let your time limit protect you from overwhelm.
3. Ask “why” as you go: Why do I still have this? Why do I feel pressure to keep it?
4. Keep only what supports your next chapter - Yes, even if it’s beautiful. Yes, even if someone else gave it to you.

Celebrate your small win... Light a candle, open a window, and enjoy the space you’ve made.
