...clearing clutter from your mind, body and space
by Michaeline
April seems to be the month that I not only look to purge paper files but also electronic files as well.
One of the biggest electronic clutter culprits is our email and specifically our inbox. But that doesn’t have to continue. You can declutter your email inbox and manage your emails by using some easy tips and techniques.
I am tackling my email jail. Won’t you join me?

I was contemplating the start of Lent on March 6 and thinking about what I would be focusing on during those 40 days in 2019.
During the six weeks of self-examination and reflection, Christians who observe Lent typically make a commitment to fast, or to give up something—a habit, such as smoking, watching TV, swearing, or a food or drink, such as sweets, chocolate, or coffee.
What if I we used the 40 days of Lent to assist us in letting go of clutter? That would help us give up things that no longer serve us, keep us stuck or It could be one item each day, one bag each day/week or decluttering an area at a time. Or you could commit to daily journaling on the topic of decluttering your life. If declutter is difficult for you, this could help you get started on that journey.
I am committing to declutter during those 40 days by letting go of one item cluttering my life (space, mind or body) each day.
Will you join me in this decluttering journey? What do you commit to declutter during your 40 days?

freedictionary.com
You are either pro or con on regifting. I think regifting is a great way to declutter and move items on to others to use. I say if you don’t love it or use it, consider regifting it.
Of course, there are some regifting rules to follow.
If you haven’t yet finished your gift buying this year, consider regifting for some of the remaining gift items.

If you are feeling stressed this holiday season with too many obligations and things to do…take a moment.
Take a moment to:
• Just breathe.
• Hear the holiday sounds or music.
• Smell the baked items or foods.
• Enjoy the colors and decorations.
• Feel the crisp, cool winter air.
• Enjoy of cup of cheer or cocoa.
• Give back or give a donation to those less fortunate.
• Watch a holiday movie.
• Spend a little time with family…just being with them or doing something together.
• Dance like no one is watching.
• Be present with the task you are currently completing.
• Acknowledge your blessings.
Taking a moment during the hustle and bustle of the holidays can reenergize you and allow you to take in the joy of the season.
