If you want to create uncluttered, well-functioning, and light-feeling spaces you have to do some inner decluttering first. Creating the inner - and outer space you dream about takes a holistic approach.  We are all shaped by our thoughts, emotions, health, and spirituality.

Our beliefs about ourselves, money, our place in the world, and even the way the world works are all the building blocks of our daily lives.  Memories from childhood or important events in our past create beliefs that shape our decisions, big and small.  Some serve us well, others do not.

Our emotions are our greatest indicator of what we're thinking.  They are our compass.  Revealing which way our thoughts are taking us.  Emotions have a way of spiraling either down or up.  Being able to catch an emotion before it takes you somewhere you don't want to go can be life-changing.

Our bodies are masterpieces of engineering.  Our brains are super computers.  We have the ability to circulate air, blood, water, electricity, and energy.  When our bodies are running at optimal levels we can accomplish so much each day.   But when we are out of balance and don't feel good we struggle to stay on top of daily routines and shy away from tackling new projects.  There is a powerful mind/body connection.  The body's health is an indicator of our mental and emotional health.

Our connection to something outside of ourselves is the thing that gives us hope and a feeling of belonging.  Feeling love and connection can sometimes mean the difference between success and failure, growth and stagnation, wellbeing and fear, possibility and hopelessness.  When we feel alone it can be easy to neglect ourselves and our homes.
