I was feeling pretty virtuous for not having a junk drawer, but then I found all the other areas in my home that can fit that definition. I have a cable drawer at the entryway, I have a basement full of "just in case" things and we won't even touch the shed/ garage. The interesting thing is that I have found that the old item I was holding on to for an emergency, wasn't that great. I could get a better version for less money almost always. My mantra used to be but what if ____ happens? Now I'm more comfortable knowing I will resolve whatever comes my way and cluttered basement is not good for my peace. Thank you for a thorough reminder.
No junk drawer but a cable drawer, basement full of "just in case," and a shed we're not even looking at? 🔥 The clutter just rebranded and found new real estate.The old emergency item never being as good as what you could buy now. Yes. Scarcity hoards yesterday's solutions for tomorrow's problems. Doesn't work."I will resolve whatever comes my way." That sentence rewires more than any cleaned basement ever could. The rest is just catching your space up to where your nervous system already landed. ✨
What if we’re not able to declutter all the “gunk” before solstice? Just because I’m a very literal Virgo who has been smacked in the face and the solar plexus with the necessity, but also a wife and mom who is trying to manage the Solstice/Yule/Christmas insanity.
Virgo with a solar plexus smack during Solstice/Yule/Christmas chaos? The cosmos has timing. Your calendar has kids. 🔥Here's the thing. The portal doesn't close on December 21st and lock you out forever. The solstice opens a window. The new moon on the 19th opens another. You have layers of entry points. Release one thing consciously and your nervous system registers the message. One drawer. One sweater. One "just in case" item while the cookies burn.Perfection is not the assignment. Intention is. Your body doesn't count items. It counts presence.The gunk will still be there in January. So will you. Different, even if only by a single released item. That's enough. ✨
