Hello Spring... It's Time to Cull, Clear, Clean and Declutter!
Hello Lifestyle Designer. Are you holding on to things you need to let go of? Things, thoughts, habits and relationships all need to be reassessed from time to time to ensure they are still useful in your life. This month, learn how to organize your lifestyle by culling, clearing, cleaning and decluttering. Remember our goal is to live our best lives, wherever we are living. Spring cleaning can help.
For 365 days a year, we travel our cities, we travel from the bedroom to the kitchen in our homes, and we travel from thought to thought in our minds, all the while we are collecting the debris of life. Then when March winds blow through our cities, homes and hair, it covers everything with father Winter’s shedding and mother nature’s debris. Now, as we stand here, at the threshold of Spring, we all know its time to clean.
​Spring has long been considered, the best time of year to cull, clear, clean and declutter our cities, homes and heads. Today as tender, chartreuse leaves emerge from sleeping bark to alert us that the natural world is awakening, it's time for us to kick off the dust and remind the world, we are awakening too. This means letting go of things that no longer serve us and lessening our loads, so we can continue our travels. At L3 we believe everyone deserves to live their best life, wherever they are living; Culling , clearing and cleaning can help with that.
When you go out to take your power walk or stroll, take a small disposable bag with you and when you see debris along your path, grab it. I do this every time I walk. Others see me do it and sure enough they start doing it too.
​Also, this goes without saying but, don't be a litter bug and teach everyone you know the same. We have one planet and its up to all of us to care for it.
Before you clean, cull. Sort through and get rid of stuff you don't need or want, or that you never use. You don't have to throw it away, you can give it away or sell it. Just get it out of your home.
Organize whats left in drawers, closets and on shelves. If you run out of space, get rid of something else. It literally does not fit n your life.
Start from the top and work you way to the bottom. This means dusting fans and cleaning windows before you vacuum or mop the floors.
