Hoarding, Clutter & Obesity

You may wonder why I'm talking about obesity on an organizing blog, but there's an intense link between being morbidly overweight and having an extreme amount of material things in one's home. The emotional attachment we have to our possessions can become so magnified it becomes impossible to even throw away items most people consider trash. It can get to the point of not allowing visitors into the home, of not being able to open doors into rooms and having piles of things that create pathways through the home. If this short description rings true for you or someone you know. I can help. I feel really passionately about healthy eating as well as organizing, and I have some background as a life coach so it's the perfect match of experiences to help you overcome the challenges in your life that keep you from living life to it's fullest.

Here's a beautiful story of a woman who was able to overcome the chaos in her home as well as drop serious weight. It's an ongoing challenge, as it is for any major life change, but it's so worth it!

Please don't let it come to this...

Here's a 10 question quiz, not necessarily a good assessment tool, but it had interesting info.

Great Reasons To GET ORGANIZED!

In no particular order here they are (if you have one to add, send me a comment):

1)    Save money-you won’t over buy things you already have like that spare bottle of shampoo, or the hammer lost in the garage. How 'bout late fees for bills unpaid cuz they're in a pile of papers, somewhere... or fines for overdue library books...

2)  Spend more time doing what you really want, and less time looking for lost items. Isn't it frustrating when you're trying to get out the door to go do something fun, but can't find your keys, wallet, sunglasses, cell phone...?

3)  Be more creative! A clean and organized space allows our creative juices to flow!! Dealing with clutter, unsorted piles and general disarray eats up a lot of energy that could be more useful channeled into jobs at work or projects at home.

4)  Attain Your Ideal Body Weight-our emotional attachments to STUFF weighs on us in more ways than one. Listen to this great interview with Peter Walsh, One of my favorite Celeb Organizers, and Oprah!
