Clean Your Closets, Create Opportunities

Clean Your Closets, Create Opportunities

Here’s Something New To Feel Good About Today!

One great way to boost your self-esteem and open the space for new possibilities to enter your life is by cleaning out and reorganizing your closets. You’ll be amazed how great you feel after you purge the clutter. At the same time, the new space you create will bring exciting new opportunities.

Take your time, get serious and get rid of everything that no longer suits you (I mean that literally)! If you haven’t worn that once sensational black dress in two years because it’s just too tight, or those crazy pants that aren’t your style anymore then set them free. Offer what you no longer wear to a friend, drop them off at a local consignment shop or donate them to GoodWill. Remember that someone else will receive great joy from what you have to give away.

Today I spent several hours cleaning and organizing my wardrobe closet. When I was finished I had six grocery sized bags full of clothes, shoes, scarves and belts. I immediately placed the bags in the back of my car, so there would be no room for hesitation or temptation to put anything back. Once in my car I managed to detach emotionally. It’s amazing how many memories I can attach to my old things.

This year I am determined to live lightly and that means uncluttering my life beginning with purging and cleaning my closets. What surprised me was the emotional roller coaster I found myself on in the process.

Is it just me, or do you find it difficult to discard or donate certain things from your closet? Tell me about it. What did you say to yourself to free yourself from the old emotional attachments before you let the item go?

When you take a look at this video you will see that you don’t have to have a lot of space to keep things neat. Here’s some great tips to get organized and to stay that way. It doesn’t cost much, the idea is to work with the space you have and stay within your means. Most of all remember it’s a process, so enjoy it!

Now, my passion has taken me to blogging, compiling, and sharing stories of people who in their own small way have made a difference in someone’s life; stories that have the amazing ability to reawaken our senses to experience everything that is and can be good in the world and connect us with each other.
