Sentimental Clutter Cleaning’s Healing Effects

The Healing Effects of Sentimental Clutter Cleaning

 

Sentimental clutter lives in the past; keeping it around often prevents full presence in the here and now. Conversely, removing what’s unnecessary ushers in freedom. It presents opportunities for personal growth, too. If you have items in your home that leave you emotionally drained, it’s likely time for a sentimental clutter cleaning.

My guest this week is Erin Beckman. Erin is a single mother and widow who faced her attic full of  nostalgic items head-on and found herself in the process.

Erin describes the process of sifting through her deceased husband’s items as a transformative one. That’s because facing those tough emotions – instead of working so hard to avoid them – cleared the way for healing.

On today’s show, Erin describes how she knew the time was right to face her sentimental clutter. She lays out 9 specific tips on how she did it and why you, too, should usher in fresh energy in the form of tidied simplicity, too.

Happy listening!
