Lose 30 Pounds---Of Clutter!

The first month of the new year just ended. Are you on track with the goals/resolutions you set? Losing weight makes the top 5 list every year in the US. Getting organized makes the top 5 list every year as well. I think one of the reasons they both keep making the top 5 list is because so many of the same people keep making the same resolution. When they don't do it one year, they move it to next year's list!

This month I challenge you to lose 30 pounds. I'm talking about 30 pounds of clutter. Shed the weight of things burdening your space and your energy and I wouldn't be surprised to hear that you start shedding the physical weight on your body that you've been wanting to lose. I know I've worked with several clients that have experienced this.

I go through my house on a regular basis to eliminate things I don't use or want anymore. Yet, when I was getting my house ready to put on the market, I decided there were a lot of things I was ready to let go of. I had a successful garage sale, listed some items on e-bay and craigslist and donated anything that didn't sell. The whole process made me feel so much lighter.

Start by getting rid of all the paper you don't need. Paper weighs a lot so that might be your 30 pounds right there! Go through your closet and get rid of anything you haven't worn in the last 12 months. Just tackling these two areas will make you feel more in control, empowered to accomplish more.

Even if you don't lose weight, I can pretty much guarantee you will feel lighter and be in a better position to be able to start living a healthier life.

Let me know how it goes.
