You Can Make Life Blossom by Decluttering and Spring Cleaning

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my life, it’s that clutter and untidy spaces stand in the way between who we are today and who we truly long to be. That’s why one of the first things I ask a client about is what their environment is like. Because you can make life blossom by decluttering. It’s like alchemy.

And who, my dear, couldn’t use a little alchemy in their life?

Everywhere I look on social media, especially on Instagram, I’m seeing how spring is springing everywhere. Daffodils and tulips are blooming, the flowering trees have beautiful blossoms, and spring showers are, well, showering. I find myself embracing fresh breezes, admiring early and delicate blooms, and longing for the first local asparagus.

When spring arrives, I think about spring cleaning. And how it’s the perfect reminder to make life blossom by decluttering.

At home, you’ll find me embracing some true spring rituals. Opening the windows to allow fresh air to bathe the house with the freshness of spring as it replaces the cooped up smells of winter. Placing cut flowers in vases all over the house to bring in some brightness. And cleaning nooks and crannies, like the fridge and the baseboards.

Best of all, it’s time to drag the lawn chairs out of the basement and put ‘em on the porch so we can enjoy the beauty of the earth as it comes alive.

De-cluttering your physical space is the perfect beginning to nourish the bloom of spring within your heart and home. It also brings me an amazing peace of mind and boosts my productivity and creativity!
