being minimal, decluttering, monthly challenges, organization, sorting my life oiut

Yes I am now regretting my March challenge to declutter because now I am like “Can I be bothered?” feeling, but I know it has to done and this week I have free, well kind of, because I have been doing a course, but I really don’t feel like decluttering.

Since beginning of this blog I have sorted out my sons pants and sock draw and so one part done, and it was me saying to myself “Do it now and then its done”. I am not a natural organized person and looking at my desk where I type my blogs, as that is where my Laptop sits is well overcrowded and so this area is going to need a change.

This is what month challenge is going to be, me getting more out of the space I have and working to have a better set up, that makes me feel good about and excited about using that space doing the thing I love, writing and so for this I know I need to make changes, and so I have the time so I am gong to do it.

I do feel that I have begun, sorting out my son pants and sock draw, and next gonna sort out his nightwear and gonna take my time, and gonna try and make mornings my mornings decluttering rather than later.

For me I need to take baby steps and get in touch like running, how I feel once it is done. It helps boost my energy and one step further to where I want to be. I like having the things I love and use around me but in a less crowded space.

As I just wrote this section of this blog tidied one area of my desk and feel better just by taking that step.

House work I don’t enjoy, but the feeling I get once it is done, is where I do feel good. I like the outcome not the doing. How many of you feel this way? I know I am not alone here.

God bless Mary Poppins, she was a terrific woman and I wish she was real as I could do with a spoonful of sugar, or actually less sugar as my downfall is sugar, but its the organizing skills, one click and then its done.

You may like to read my EBook where I talk about making one change a day and not doing it in one go, if that makes you feel overwhelmed.

Things to Change one day at a time : Life doesn’t have to be fast pace but easy, simple and flexible Kindle Edition:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Things-Change-one-day-time-ebook/dp/B0916KDN9H/ref=sr_1_20?crid=1FEZU3534W2HU&keywords=carrie+holmes&qid=1678184811&sprefix=carrie+holme+%2Caps%2C77&sr=8-20

I have written others too like this one, under the names, Carrie Challoner, Carrie Lee Holmes and Carrie Holmes.

It is all about making changes that are easy to do, and feeling calm and not that life is hectic, when we have a cluttered space and being able to open a draw without having a fight to open it or shut it. Opening a cupboard without all the clutter falling on your head, and make it a useful happy place.

With the challenges it is the outcome that I want and to keep building a better place where I have my stuff in order, I have money in my bank account that will be forward and be out of debt and excited about the next stage of my life and keep building and learning. Learning is key to living calmly and what we will do from this point forward and not on what we will not.

Please follow if you want to keep updated of my blogs and like, so I know my blogs are helping you.

Lets work together and build a community that is full of happiness and posibility.

decluttering, monthly challenges, organization, personal growth, reflecting on my challenge

Before I begin this blog, this is to remind you if you didn’t know I have a new book out called Mum&Me and so check out Amazon.co.uk and so click here, and is available in Kindle and paperback, it will really make you laugh, and your feedback is welcomed: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mum-Me-Gucci-Tits-Virtue-ebook/dp/B0BGSS7H9K/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2021TKH0IEJLU&keywords=Mum%26Me+Carrie+Holmes&qid=1677848585&sprefix=mum%26me+carrie+holmes+%2Caps%2C289&sr=8-1

So it is the end of the month and I have two videos to be put together and one them is my last what I bought video for my February challenge and need to film my reflection,. which will be on my main Youtube channel that I have linked below @typicallondongal under my name Carrie Holmes. It was good to see what items I needed if I could get a good deal and feel I did, but I had to buy a few items for my son, and not sure if I should take these amounts into his monthly allowance I give him to spend, or as my home products and in my home budget. What would you do.

It has really helped me financially to see my spending habits and if there are other things I can cut back on or cut out.

I would recommend trying it out. I spent more than I wanted so gonna reduce on snacks and this month is going to be declutter month and so this is managing productivity and will include reset videos. and post on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/typicallondongal/) aswell as on this blog site.

There will be areas in which need to be done first and that is decluttering first my son’s underwear and socks, and it is little changes like that, that can free up space and does ease the mind when you see the results and why not when it is now spring time, I know the weather doesn’t match the new season yet at the moment, and for those you live in Australia and it is Autumn and if you are from the land of oz check out my Autumn Reset videos and blogs and sorting out my life to get things completed and tying lose ends.

I do write a blog on google blogspot called Organize4thebetter. and will be posting on there too.

Check this link of these videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-P27aM5Zing&list=PL0AyektQNGDEj9y0CRT4kwPJRu4p-2D5W and here are the blogs: Autumn Reset Printable 2022 End of Autumn Reset 2022 Autumn Reset Day 14: When you can’t get out of the bed Autumn Reset Day 13: Having a bit of peace Autumn Reset Day 12: Managing your Mental Health and learning how to help it #Mentalhealthawarenessweek Autumn Reset Day 11: Letting things go Autumn Reset Day 10: 5 Tips on How to have a good day off Autumn Reset Day 9: The Imposter Syndrome habit/Changing your feelings Autumn Reset Day 8: Moving back into normality Autumn Reset Day 7: Going through different cycles/Seasonal habits Autumn Reset Day 6: Clearing anxiety by making changes going on through a different season Autumn Reset Day 5: Spending time with the ones you love Autumn Reset Day 5: Letting things go Autumn Reset Day 4: Managing life Autumn Reset Day 3: Developing Positive Outcomes Autumn Reset Day 2: Finishing Tasks Autumn Reset Day 1: Sorting out my life and getting balance

I hope you find these useful.

I am late in starting as I did a course this week, but will begin as of next week and so lets get rid of what we no longer want and bring home stuff we do, and it also means sorting out my laptop and phones I no longer use, that are lying around. Even those things can cause or mind to feel cluttered aswell as rooms and homes.

If you have a office the one thing many companies I have worked for, would make sure we cleaned our desks, as it good to work in a clean and tidy environment.

Many thanks for reading,

Hello and welcome! Here is another blog for my Life Coaching series I am putting together and it is about Adding new Positive things into your life.

Please see link here for new Life Coaching videos uploaded to Youtube:

Life Coaching Videos Project 2021

Now I know we are in Lockdown still but we have to face the fact that it looks like it won’t be shifting anytime soon, but we can still create positivity and even create more knowing we haven’t got to rush anywhere.

Image result for free images of people learning
  • Organize a space a day. So I am not an organization enthusiast at all, it always gets put at the back of the list but doesn’t mean I don’t try. I love pottering around and when I had my own place, I would see a place that needed sorting out and just did it. It doesn’t have to be something that takes all day. I am moving soon, it is definite in London, and so looking forward to it and yes be organizing the best I can, to make it homely and comfy, which for me is important and with my new man
  • Add a new positive habit. So each morning I will spend sometime journalling, go through my notepad to help keep tabs with what I have done each day and that needs to be done, and journal using my new Mrs Hinch Activity Book and now I choose a song to tweet and is music that has been part of my life. Plus I write in one of my planners things I wish to do each evening before I shut up shop for the day
  • Take up a new skill. I love doing short online courses and will be doing more and I have some Online courses in Customer Service and it is great to learn different things and it is so easy to do now we have the joy of the internet. Check out my Education Network: https://carrieseducationnetwork.thinkific.com/
  • Read a bit a day. If you are struggling to read a book then have time set each day to do some and what I do often is try to, depending on the length of a book, is to read a chapter a day. I love reading and it can take me a while at times, but is something I have loved as a kid and it just helps me switch off and do something for myself each day.
  • Read other motivation blog posts and article. As part of my job as a writer I do have to often do research and read other blogs and articles. Let me just add I do not copy but it is for inspiration and motivates me to keep creating original content of my own and be in touch with the blog writing world. Here is one blog I enjoy reading via a site called Bloglovin: https://theeverygirl.com/
  • Do from 5 to 10 minutes of exercise a day. I do like to exercise but since being run down I haven’t done any for a few weeks but when I do it does relax me in a funny kind of way and helps get up and get out of bed each day. See my site where I talk about keeping fit: https://sportsandfitnesscoaching.com
  • Eat one healthy meal a week if not everyday and plan a fun meal each day. I love theme meals some days and it just helps with being happy to cook and motivates me to buy certain foods, each week. Check out my blog site: https://carrieshomestyleandfashion.wordpress.com site where I do a weekly Shopping ideas and Meal ideas weekly post
  • Create an online course of your own. I love developing new Online courses as well as enrolling on them and it can be so easy now. There is Thinkific and Skillshare where you can set up courses with no costs involved

Life doesn’t have to be the same everyday and you still being in Lockdown can have fun and be with family.

Never be stuck in a rut but make changes that will help you through this Pandemic and remember with the wonders of the Internet and modern technology we can still socialise and have a Zoom meeting each week to interact with people we still have in our lives and remember Facetime too.

Many thanks for reading,

Carrie L.M X
