Ep. 270: What if You Don't Have to Get Rid of It?

Send us Fan MailI want you to think of one thing in your house right now.Not the whole junk drawer. Not the closet you slam shut when guests come over. Just one thing.Maybe it's a bowl in your cabinet that was your grandmother's. Maybe it's a bin of baby clothes in the basement that you've moved four times and unpacked zero times. Maybe it's a shirt in your closet from a version of you that doesn't exist anymore…the one before kids, or before the job change, or before the fifteen pounds that came and never quite left.You know exactly what I'm talking about. You pictured it before I even finished the sentence.Now here's my question. Why is it still there?If you're like most of the women I talk to, the honest answer isn't I forgot about it or I haven't gotten around to it. The honest answer is something closer to: I know what I'm supposed to do with it. I just haven't done it.You already know the rule. If you haven't used it in a year, it goes. If it doesn't fit, it goes. If you have three of them, two go. If it doesn't spark anything, it goes.You know the rules. And you're not following them. And somewhere in the back of your mind, that feels like evidence. Evidence that you're bad at this. Undisciplined. Sentimental to a fault. Behind, again, on something that should be simple.I don't think that's true. And today I want to show you why.Let’s get into it!Resources mentioned in this episode: https://www.jenniferroskamp.com/clutter-event-of-the-fall--d3296Get some powerful mantras to inspire, encourage, and life you up when you need as little something intentional to focus on. We have a beautiful pdf download of the 6 Mantras For Intentional Moms you can keep or print.
