Autumn time to chill more.

| steffybot

As Autumn approaches, it’s essential to take some well-deserved time to recharge your batteries. Life can get incredibly busy, and it’s easy to find yourself constantly on the move.

While your schedule may already be filled with a bunch of commitments, consider if there’s anything you can gently remove from your plate. Maybe one Saturday afternoon, you could simply sit outside and immerse yourself in a captivating book. Picture yourself indulging in a long, luxurious bubble bath or even spending the entire weekend in your cosiest pyjamas, baking cookies, and enjoying a movie marathon, all without the rush of chores and responsibilities.

The charm of Autumn lies not only in the allure of pumpkin spice lattes and snuggly sweaters but also in its subtle reminder that constant productivity isn’t sustainable. Just as nature takes its time to slow down and rest, so should you.

This Autumn, make a conscious effort to embrace a slower pace. Consider saying “no” to additional commitments and giving a resounding “yes” to the pursuit of relaxation. Transform this season into a personal holiday where you prioritize self-care and well-being.

In my own life, I’ve been reminding myself to ease off the accelerator. Instead, I’ve been relishing quality time with my family, taking off more time and rearranging my working hours and day. Even diving into captivating new books, especially at night times.

So, how can you slow down this Autumn?

Take the sights of the trees changing, the darker days and the change in weather as a sign it is okay to slow down.

In Autumn, nature begins to get ready for the winter hibernation and we can too.

Letting go when decluttering

| steffybot

I often get asked about Letting go.


This is a interesting topic when your on a decluttering process. Everyone will be different. For some its so easy but others more problematic. 

Why?

We are human and many of use have a emotional connection to items and belongings. 

This can either be from your own personal experiences or even somethings from our upbringing/ past. 

Some people have less of an emotional tie with items, and thats all fine as we area all individual. 

However if your struggling to let go of items but deeps down you want to here are some tips and points to consider:

1) Does it work for its intended purpose, if clothing does it fit? 

2) Have you used i tin the last 12 months?

3) Why are you holding onto it, e.g. ‘just incase’ thought?

4) If you saw it in a shop now would you get it?

5) Does it bring a good warm feeling to you now?

6)  Why is it sentimental to you?

7) Remind yourself of your intent to declutter…What are your trying to create. then recap the 6 tips.

If you have looked at the tips above and still feel you need to keep it, where can it be best stored. 

If you feel you need to keep it for a little  longer but ultimately want to get rid of it, start moving it closer to the door.  Place it next to door in room it belongs, the to the other side of door, then to inside the front door. then outside then to bin or charity. 

To declutter is a journey and not everything will be easy to let go, or even needs to be lot go.

Also remember why your decluttering, what is your bigger vision. 

There if often some good medications on YouTube for letting go if your into this extra sort of process. these area a great extra tool to work on your subconscious mind.
