Do you find it easy to ask for help? Where do you go for help once you identify you need it?
If you’re anything like me, the answer is “no”. No, I don’t find it easy to ask for help. No, I don’t do it often or well. Even when I know I need help, I put it off. Excuses include busyness and not wanting to burden others. Ok, I hear you.
I propose that asking for help is brave and it’s the first step to moving forward with your goal. This post needs expansion in the future, but I’m going to start with the topic of decluttering. I, like you, have a journey of how I got to where I am in my relationship to ‘stuff.’ More on that later. I’ve spent three years dabbling on the surface of declutter challenges on Facebook and taking courses offered by amazing women who are simply overwhelmed by the state of their home and by all their stuff. I’ve made progress, but then I got stuck.
Realizing you’re stuck is a great time to pivot and reach out for help. And it’s so healthy and good to take action steps in that regard. So once again, I signed up for an online decluttering course, after watching The Minimal Mom for over a year on YouTube! Her kind tone, her gentle care and approach have appealed to me and I feel ready to push through the hard and get to the deeper levels.
I hope that here I can process and show you what it looks like for an ordinary girl (who’s got lots of DNA that suggests that I’ll hold onto stuff for way too long) to take her house back! I’m ready, I’ve got some help, and I’m going to go for it! Are you coming?
