Detox your Life

We are living in such a rushed world where so many things demand our time and attention. We are spreading ourselves thin to make sure we get to everything and it leaves us feeling emotionally and mentally cluttered and exhausted. By getting organised with our time, our surroundings and our possessions we are more in control and have more time to do the things which are really important. Whether you want to spend more time on money-making tasks at work than on admin or whether you simply want more time for your family and friends, the key is organisation.

But why don’t we get organised? We are often too overwhelmed and exhausted to see the forest from the trees. We do not know where or how to start. It is almost like being overweight and knowing you have to lose 50kg, it looks so unachievable and out of reach, you almost quit before you begin. Sometimes a tragic or life change event derails us and we simply can’t pick ourselves up. Clutter might even be completely out of control and appears impossible to sort out. We also attach perceived values to items and struggle to let go, even though it is weighing us down. Many people do not have the skills or experience to be organised.

If you recognise yourself in any of the above categories, it is best to get a bit of help to get started. This is where professional organisers come in. They help you to remain focused on the task at hand and offer objective and non-judgement assistance, whilst ensuring the project gets completed. They have expertise in setting up solutions and help you to systematically eradicate chaos. They can even give you ongoing assistance to help you maintain order. An organiser will help you to take charge of you life again and by taking charge of what was holding you back, you will feel like a new person. Call it the LIFE DETOX.

I always say that you can measure the state of my mind by how organised (or chaotic) my cupboards are. I know from my own life experience that whenever I went through tough times, taking control of the things that I can control - like organising my time, my work and environment - always resulted in a drastic improvement of my emotional state, which in turn enables and accelerates self-healing.
