Did you ever find yourself making excuses about the state of your home? When was the last time that you performed a full house cleanup?
“Oh, we’re in the middle of a move…(for the last 2 years)”
“That’s all my husband’s stuff…(mine is all shoved in the closet)”
“The cleaning lady couldn’t make it…(since she stopped working for us)”
Or, someone heads to the restroom in your house and you follow them, breathing down their necks to make sure they don’t open THE OTHER DOOR that’s hiding everything.
If any of this resonates, you are normal. Sadly, many of us live in a state of stress and shame about our unfinished projects and piles of stuff that we haven’t dealt with.
In some cases the mess can be cleaned up in a day, but we’re in the habit of avoiding it…and avoiding our peace of mind.
In other cases it really will take a lot of effort to deal with the mess, like sorting and filing papers for switching health insurance (Gd help us all), and the longer you wait the worse it gets. And let’s face it. If no one sees it because we don’t let them in our house, we can keep piling it up…forever?
In an ideal world, we’d all be caught up on all our responsibilities at all times. For the rest of us, there’s Joumor. Doing what we can do, releasing the clutter of self-judgment, and finding our joy and humor on the other side…when we can say, “Sure, c’mon in!”
Your comfort level is up to you. If you want to start 2019 kicking butt in an organized home that you’re proud to invite people into, join us to the Joumor Institute to make it happen.
