How to Declutter 2023 | Step 2 to the decluttering process: edit & declutter | Messy to Minimal | Minimize with me

Now that you’ve gained clarity on your specific wants and goals for your home, we can start step 2: the edit.

In my opinion this has been the most challenging part for most people.. letting go of the things. With that being said: it is also the most impactful and rewarding step!

Here are a few reasons we contemplate / keep items:
👉🏼clinging to the past (I used to do yoga, so I need this yoga mat)
👉🏼focusing on true future (what if I need this again when ___)
👉🏼sunken cost *guilty 🙋🏼‍♀️* (I spent a lot of money on these jeans..)
👉🏼 gifts / guilt (this was gifted to my moms grandmother and passed down to me & I feel guilty for getting rid of it)

Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, let’s focus on what we can control.
✔️shift your mindset and focus on creating the home/space you dream of. Focus on the endgame and let your vision guide you through the editing process.
✔️set clear boundaries. If you have an abundance of shoes, but only room for say 10 pairs.. pick your favourites. What shoes do you gravitate towards? Which ones do you *think* you’ll wear one day but then that day never comes? Editing is as simple as setting your boundaries and following through.
✔️practice restraint. Everything that comes in to your home, is something you have to manage. During the editing process try to limit spending.
✔️be intentional. Does this item bring value to me, or is it consuming me? Is this item really worth the mental load or is it just taking up space in my home? Do I know someone who could use this item?

A BIT ABOUT MY CHANNEL:
I'm a happily married working mom of 2 little girls! I run 3 different businesses, homeschool, and run a household so you could say things are busy around our home. I live just outside of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

I started my Messy to Minimal Decluttering Series in January 2023, and haven't looked back when it comes to simplifying our home. I post decluttering, cleaning & homemaking motivational videos every single week in hopes to inspire you to get up and tackle your mess with me!

I'm a professional cleaner outside of the home, again using all non toxic cleaning products. I love to bring my knowledge of cleaning and routines from there here to you on Youtube! I hope you stick around by subscribing for some extreme cleaning and homemaking motivation!

Happy Cleaning & Homemaking! xoBW
