Welcome! If you’re here because you’d love your home environment to be cleaner and feel lighter, you’re in the right place. Let’s do this!
Detox your Clean
Let’s start by detoxing your CLEAN! (It would suck to clean your home with toxic cleaners in the process of trying to detox your home, right?!)
Start by downloading and printing out this helpful worksheet (if you love checklists like I do!)
Pick anything on the list to do for a quick win.
When you have time, pick another item from the list and get it done. My favorite thing is how the sense of accomplishment feels so good that sometimes I’m ready to dive right into the next item. But you do this at your own pace!
Detox Your Environment
Pick anything on the list to do for a quick win!
- Malignant items – Get them out!!
- Clean out your car – I’m always surprised by how much of a difference this makes!
- Clean out your computer – google the right process for your specific device and move extra photos and files to a storage device for safe keeping.
Detox Your Social Media
I don’t think we always realize how much shame and comparison we take on while spending time on social media. I have stopped following a lot of accounts recently and it’s made a big difference for me. Pay attention to how you feel when you’re around various kinds of content. Unfollow accordingly.
Honestly, one of the things I’ve done that has made the most difference is no personal devices in my face from 8 pm to 8 am. We do watch tv later than 8 pm, but I don’t have a personal device on after that time. There are exceptions, like when I can’t sleep and have an idea I want to write about in the night, but that’s rare. It seems like a sacrifice at first, but it also feels like it’s given me my life back and I’m grateful for that!
Today I am talking about detoxing:
- Social media accounts
- Unsubscribe from email lists you no longer open.
- Cancel subscription services you no longer use.
- Clean out your cell phone – delete apps you don’t use – organize icons.
