Minimalism-This Uncluttered Course is Worth Joining!


I have definitely taken a set back on my minimalism journey. Since my return to work, my OCD symptoms, anxiety, and depression have skyrocketed. I had to make going back to therapy a priority, even if it means missing an hour of work every other week. I also see my primary again in two weeks since I'm on a seven month waiting list to see a psychiatrist (Seven more months of this? No thanks.)

Though I wasn't able to participate as much as I wanted to on each week's lesson, I think the Uncluttered Course is definitely worth joining. Each lesson is unlocked week by week, but I think it's better to do it that way so you have to focus on one step at a time, especially if you have hoarding tendencies or have anxiety about the act of getting rid of your stuff. Everyone is on the same lesson and you're not doing it alone. The lesson may seem a little pricey, but there is a 20% discount code that's usually posted on Facebook right before the sign up deadline. I was very hesitant because I did pay for two other decluttering courses that I just felt weren't worth it. I was worried this would be the exact same. What makes it different is the unlocking of lessons week by week and the support group. Everyone in that group is so supportive!

Once you sign up for the course, you can request to join the Facebook support group. There is such positivity present there. It is also inspiring so see everyone's stories. People post about getting rid of things that are so difficult to part with. The group lets them know they are not alone, that they've done a great job. For me, it makes me think that I CAN do this. That I am not the only one who struggles, and keeping in mind that life is more than "stuff."

I may have flopped this go round, but once you sign up for the course you can take it over and over again.

Again, the support is the biggest plus. I tried meeting people here and tried to get people I know to try minimalism with me, but this course guarantees you won't be alone.

(I'm not paid or given anything to promote this course. I'm not anyone important or who has followers or things like that. Just hoping to help someone out there who struggles.)

Decluttering-Getting Rid of Facebook

I have a month left of maternity leave. To say that I'm overwhelmed is an understatement. I've spent the last year decluttering my house. I recently realized that I need to declutter my social media as well. I don't have a Twitter or Instagram. I only recently got a Snap Chat. I joined a decluttering group about a month ago. At first it was very helpful. I was glad to find other people who were on the same journey as I. I noticed a few shared blogs of their journeys. I thought that was a fantastic idea and shared three posts of my own. It was then announced that posting your own blog wouldn't be allowed. I panicked. I felt like I was in trouble, that I did something wrong. I am in a state right now where I am struggling postpartum so what some may have seen as not a big deal, was a big deal to me. I apologized for sharing my blog, trying to explain that my own posts would be too long so that's why I shared it. But I continued to panic, and with fight or flight, I...

We Own Too Much Stuff

I borrowed this book, Life At Home in the Twenty-First Century a few weeks ago after reading about it in an article. It's an ethnography carried out by the Center of Everyday Lives of Families by UCLA. They observed 32 families in California and their findings were very interesting to me. I tried to talk to my husband about it and he questioned if this was a book that was aimed for people to get rid of their stuff. I explained to him that it's a collect of findings of families of today, and if historians were to look back at us now, this is the kind of reports they would make for the way we are living. Here are a few of the things I didn't know about prior and thought they were very intriguing: The majority of houses are child centered, with art and toys filling all spaces of the home Having a child in the home increased home possessions by 30% Parents expressed stress with the mess in their homes as well as not having time to clean Homeowners were unable to use thei...

Pantry Decluttering

I decluttered the pantry before Christmas and am determined to keep it clutter free throughout the year. To save money we only buy what we will eat immediately during the week. We make sure to eat practically everything we have in the house before we go out for groceries again. This leaves our pantry looking bare at times, but it still manages to get full of other clutter. The pantry was mostly cluttered this time around with plastic bags that were accumulating to be recycled. Here is our pantry before the recent decluttering: Our pantry looks pretty messy, but it's not as bad as our first declutter last year. Again, our biggest problem was the plastic bags that had been collecting for recycling. I own reusable grocery bags, but sometimes we buy groceries when we haven't been able to stop home for them. Hence, why we have some plastic bags in our pantry taking up space. We recycled those bags and I got my reusable bags organized and ready to take out.  We also had p...
