It always looks worse before it gets better

Wreak Havoc Wednesday! 

Why did I name Wednesday “wreak havoc”? Because we genuinely don’t realize when we begin to declutter that it always looks worse before it gets better.

I know that can be discouraging, overwhelming, and maybe a show-stopper. It does help to remind yourself before you begin that, in most instances, it does look worse before it gets better. However, it will get better if you keep going!

I hope you enjoy my wreak havoc story as I share my husband’s and my journey with wreaking havoc before it got better! You might be entertained by what my husband calls his “hell box.” I share what it is about halfway through the video.

Just so you know, we did make it to the other side of the clutter, and the result was clear areas where there was once chaos and way too much stuff.

And, remember to purge and curate before you organize or put anything back. The real magic is the toxic energy release you get by doing so.
