Summary: Will a clear and simple house bring me peace?<br> <br> There is a lot of evidence out there that decluttered, clutter-free home is a peaceful home. There are a lot of studies about the mental burden of clutter. There’s research to tell us that an ordered home helps us to FEEL calmer. <br> <br> And I believe this is true. <br> <br> A clear home CAN bring you peace. <br> <br> But will it?<br> <br> <br> I coach moms on this. Especially moms who label themselves as perfectionists. They have standards and expectations about how their home should be. They want it clear and tidy because of how they think it will make them feel. <br> <br> They want this, and in order to get it it can come at a cost, the cost is peace in their home.<br> <br> Over the years of decluttering, organizing, doing chores, teaching my kids to do chores I have learned that it can make my space feel peaceful but it is UP TO ME how I show up every step of the way. I have to bring the peace into it. <br> <br> Have you ever been to a beautiful place but the atmosphere in it stinks? It isn't as simple as how organized and pretty the home it. It is so much more. <br> <br> And it takes work to create a beautiful experience in your home. It takes intention, vision, work, and being very mindful. <br> <br> To me, this is the difference in someone who is a HOMEMAKER - a lost art of our generation. But homemaker isn't a bad word. It it is an empowering word. <br> <br> If you are ready to reclaim you role as homemaker and move from thinking about things and doing a little here and there to taking ACTION, then join in the Fall Series at the Life on Purpose Academy. <br> <br> Each monthly topic will help you take action to live your life on purpose all while getting teaching and coaching all along the way. <br> <br> The fall series topics include:<br> September - Reclaim Your Home<br> October - Mom on Purpose<br> November - Show Up for Love<br> December - Connections + Friendships<br> <br> LINKS MENTIONED<br> How minimalism changed my motherhood (<a href="https://simpleonpurpose.ca/episode51/">Episode 51</a>)<br> <br> How minimalism changed my marriage, homemaking and life (<a href="https://simpleonpurpose.ca/episode52/">Episode 52</a>)<br> <br> Doing chores you want to avoid (<a href="https://simpleonpurpose.ca/episode60/">Episode 60</a>)<br> <br> Saturday morning chores (<a href="https://simpleonpurpose.ca/episode61/">Episode 61</a>)<br> <br> The Life on Purpose Workbook (<a href="https://simpleonpurpose.ca/the-workbook/">learn more</a>)<br> <br> The Simple Saturdays email (it comes out every two weeks) (<a href="https://simple-on-purpose.ck.page/6776938601">Subscribe here)</a><br> <br> Fall Series in the Life on Purpose Academy (<a href="http://www.lifeonpurposeacademy.ca">learn more)</a><br> <br> <br> <br>
