I hear it from clients every day. They tell me the feelings they experience when they walk into their own home:
- “I put my hand on the bedroom door/closet door/basement door, and I feel stress before I open it.”
- “I’m embarrassed to have people over.”
- “I can’t do the things that make me happy in my craft room/garage/workout space.”
- “I feel shame that my space got out of control.”
People ask me why I chose this as my profession. Why I feel BLESSED to walk with a client into an overflowing closet. It’s because of what people tell me they feel after!
- “I didn’t realize organizing is an expertise! I’m relieved I’m not just supposed to know how to do it.”
- “I’m proud to see how much I accomplished with help.”
- “I‘m excited there is a system in place to keep the space functioning.”
- “I feel a huge weight leaving my shoulders as the bags of trash and donations leave my home.
So much has been written on this topic by experts in mental health, like this great article from Psychology today. As an expert in decluttering and organizing, I want you to feel the relief and pride that comes from just one session. Invest in your health and your home – you will be glad you did, and you are worth it!
