We all eventually lose our shine...

    I don’t know if its the momentum of the new year or if it’s just me aging, but I have this overwhelming sense to declutter, organize and get rid of all the stuff that no longer sparks joy within my soul! 

 

    My kitchen being one massive trigger for me right now! Then my bedroom, then definitely the living room....oooh then the office, definitely my office. 

 

    As you can see, my entire house needs some shaping and rearranging! 

 

    I get like this every few months or so, I get SO sick of looking at clutter and saying to myself, “i’m going to block off time to get this done” and I end up using that block to either watch tv or finding some heart string to pull on when finding stuff that holds memories or “might wear” clothing items in the clutter that I am trying to declutter and it exhausts me so much that I don’t get a damn thing done. 

 

    The cycle is vicious and I am going to break it this year. When? I don’t have a damn clue! But I am going to so my absolute best to get the house in tip-top shape. Because I can’t do all this stuff everywhere malarkey any longer! 

 

    I know that the new year sparks different things for everyone and a lot of times, the momentum of a shiny new year is enough to make people feel like they can and will do anything. 

 

    Don’t get me wrong, you CAN do anything. 

    But a lot of times after the, “new year, new you, gonna do it all” shit wears out, you’re often left with a lot of who you already are and a lot of feelings of regret and failure because you didn’t do all the things that new year motivation drunk you said you were going to do. 

 

    Don’t forget to show yourself grace this year! We’re still in dark, scary, exhausting times. Compassion is going to be your best kept weapon this year! I promise! 

    Remember that even shiny new pennies eventually dull and people lose interest. Your value isn't dependent on how shiny you are.
