Home Organization: Don’t Play it Safe

A big part of creating a new system of home organization involves making changes, making decisions and that scares people sometimes.  I believe that when things get out of control, people are coming from a place of stress, feeling overwhelmed and they are afraid they will make a mistake.  Afraid of parting with something that they might need someday or afraid that they may regret parting with an item.  Afraid they won’t be able to make their space just right, afraid of not being perfect.  I’ve seen people who were afraid to add paint color in their home.  They avoided making a mistake by not adding some color to their home, but they also didn’t enjoy their space. 

But if you play it safe and stay status quo, you will remain in a home that is cluttered and brings you stress instead of providing a comfortable haven from the outside world.  Don’t we all just want to feel good when we come home at the end of a long day?  So make those decisions that you have been putting off.  It’s time to create a home that you love and to do that means taking a chance that you may make a mistake.  But I really believe that the awesome feeling you will have in an unclutter home, surrounded by belongings you love and use, will far outweigh any potential mistakes you could make.  Plus, what’s really the worst thing that could happen?  Most items you can replace if you really do find a need for them down the road.

So, push yourself outside of your comfort zone so you can create the organized home you’ve been dreaming of!
