The Good Health Guide

Sue Kay is a leading UK declutterer based in North London.  Here are her 9 key suggestions to enable you to achieve your dream of a simple uncluttered life.

• There are more important things in life than material possessions - like health, relationships and following your dreams.

• Everyone has unhappy times in their life like a divorce or a period of ill-health.  Letting go of objects that trigger painful memories is immensely liberating.

• Keeping clothes that are too small for you in your wardrobe doesn’t make you lose weight.  It only makes you feel guilty!

• Giving unwanted stuff to charity is a win-win situation.  You feel generous and lighter, someone bags a bargain and the charity gains much-needed funds.

• For your life to stay in balance, it’s good to give something away for every new possession you acquire.

• Everyone needs a bit of frivolous retail therapy.  Just save it for the occasional bad day rather than making it a daily occurrence.

• Recycling really is worthwhile.  Knowing your possessions will be made into something useful makes it easier to part with them.

• The more stuff you own, the more energy you have to commit to dealing with it and the less you value it.

• Empty space in your home and life is nothing to be afraid of.  Even though it may feel scary at first, it will also open up the possibility of positive change - such as a new look for your home or starting your own business.

Finally if all this all seems a bit overwhelming and you don’t know where to start then visit www.nomoreclutter.co.uk for more tips and a free monthly newsletter.  Sue’s book “No More Clutter” published by Hodder Mobius at £8.99 helps you tackle clutter both psychologically and practically.  Sue can also visit you at home and help you say goodbye to your own clutter mountain.

Enjoy your clutter free home!
