Let It Go, Let It Go, Let It Go — Creating Space for Calm and Clarity

For the past month, my mantra has been simple but powerful: “Let it go, let it go, let it go.”

Not just for myself — but for every client I’ve worked with. Because when we release what no longer serves us, we create space for something better to arrive.

I’ve made it my personal mission to go through every room in my home and let go of anything that doesn’t make me feel good, work well, or reflect who I am now. Clothes that don’t fit. Toys the girls no longer play with. Decorative items that no longer inspire me. Things that are broken, unused, or just taking up emotional space.

And let me tell you — the freedom that comes with that kind of release is everything.

As we close another year, make it your personal mission to declutter, reset, and release what’s weighing you down — both physically and mentally. Because every time you let go of something old, you make room for something beautiful and new to come in.

How to Start Letting Go — Simple Decluttering Tips

1. Schedule 20 Minutes at a Time

You don’t need a full weekend. Start small — 20 focused minutes per room. Bring three things: a garbage bag (for trash), a donation box (for give-aways), and a small bin (for items that belong elsewhere).

Bonnie Tip: Set a timer — and celebrate every finished space.

2. Remove the Donations Immediately

Don’t let those boxes linger in your hallway. Schedule a donation pickup or drop them off the same day. The faster you release them, the lighter your energy feels.

3. Put Things Where They Belong

Give yourself 5–10 minutes at the end of your session to put items back where they belong. Every item has a home — and so do you.

4. Clear Your Mental Clutter

Decluttering isn’t just physical — it’s emotional, too. Make what I call a Master Task List.

Grab a notepad and write down everything that’s floating in your mind — from errands to emails to “call Mom.” Once it’s on paper, your mind can breathe.

Bonnie Tip: Every Sunday night, I move items from my Master Task List to my calendar. That’s how I turn overwhelm into organization — and chaos into calm.

Final Thought: The Beauty of the Release

Letting go is an act of self-care. When you release what no longer fits — in your home, your schedule, or your life — you invite peace, clarity, and abundance.

So as you step into this next chapter, say it with me: Let it go, let it go, let it go. Because calm is the new luxury.

Till next time, happy organizing!
