Take The 31 Day De-Cluttering Challenge! By Regina Sanchez


Organization? It is stress. We are in a health crisis because of the stress that so many in- dividuals are under. Stress has such negative effects on our health and it is something that needs to be addressed if you are suffering from it and are on overload. Don’t just live with it. As I tell my clients, “Don’t let it be your friend.” Because your friend it is not. Sometimes we get so used to it that we think it’s part of life. We let our days be so busy that we are not paying attention to the body symptoms of stress. Then when we go to sleep at night and our body is at rest, it can’t be. The stress is still there and bubbling its ugly head. This is where insomnia can come into play.

Stress can be caused by a number of factors in our lives. But an interesting one is “clutter.” A study was done a few years ago by Southern California and UCLA Psychology Professor Rena Preetti. She found that women who lived in the midst of clutter have high cortisol levels. The in- teresting thing was the men that lived with them didn’t.


Effects of Living With High Cortisol • Suppressed immunity • Hypertension • High blood sugar (hyperglycemia)

o you know what the “Health Epidemic of the 21st Century” is according to the World Health


• Insulin resistance • Carbohydrate cravings


• Metabolic syndrome and Type 2 Diabetes


• Fat deposits on the face, neck, and belly


• Bone loss


Many who realize that the clutter is affecting their lives and hence their health find it overwhelming to begin the process, let alone tackle it on their own. Others think it’s no big deal. But I tell them they are deceived. They don’t realize how the clutter is affecting them because I tell them it’s not like a truck drove up to their home one day and dumped all the clutter at once inside. It happened gradually. So gradually you “think” you have gotten used to it and it doesn’t bother you. But when I’ve begun a de-cluttering process with these clients, they are calling me at night telling me how happy they are and how wonderful it feels to be in that particular room without all the clutter. There is defi- nitely a peace in that room.


For some a big de-cluttering project is


overwhelming for them. Or they just don’t have the time to tackle the massiveness of the project. No worries. You can begin the de-cluttering project with small baby steps. Then over time you’ll be amazed at what you’ve accomplished.


To help you with some de-cluttering for the next 31 days, I have a challenge for you. Here is a list of 31 items you can probably remove from your home…quick and easily.
