Does your messy house bring you feelings of guilt or shame?

Do you often find yourself berating yourself for not being more organized?

Well, it’s time to change that narrative!

Being messy doesn’t mean you can’t experience joy in your home.

With the right mindset and a little help, you can create a space that brings you happiness and peace. Let’s explore some strategies to help messy people like you find more joy in your home!

A shift in perspective

First and foremost, it’s crucial to change the way you think about being messy. Your messy home does not define you, and it certainly doesn’t make you any less deserving of joy. Remember, being organized is not a personality trait—it’s a skill that can be learned and improved upon.

Embrace your messy nature and seek help

Instead of beating yourself up for not being naturally organized, embrace who you are and seek compassionate help. Don’t go it alone—find a professional or compassionate teacher who understands your struggles. Tidyish, for example, offers packages that range from “I need a little help” to “Tidyish, take the wheel!” Browse their services and find the support that works best for you.

Skill-building for a tidier home

While being messy may be your nature, it doesn’t mean you can’t develop skills to create a more organized and joyful home. Start small by incorporating tidiness habits into your routine. Set aside a few minutes each day to do a quick clean-up. Focus on one area or one task at a time, whether it’s clearing the kitchen countertops or folding laundry. Small steps can lead to big changes over time.

Creating organized systems that work for you

One-size-fits-all organization systems may not work for everyone. Experiment with different approaches and find what works best for your messy tendencies. Invest in storage solutions that fit your needs and style. Whether it’s labeled containers, color-coding, or creating designated spaces for your belongings, find a system that is intuitive and easy for you to maintain.

Finding joy in the midst of messiness

Remember, joy is not exclusive to a perfectly organized home. Focus on creating spaces that bring you happiness, whether it’s a cozy reading corner, a vibrant art display, or a collection of cherished objects. Surround yourself with things that spark joy and create a warm and inviting atmosphere, regardless of the occasional mess.

Being messy doesn’t mean you can’t experience a sense of joy and peace in your home.

Shift your perspective, seek compassionate help, and develop organization skills that work for you.

Remember, your messy nature is just one aspect of who you are, and it doesn’t define your worth or your ability to create a joyful space. Embrace yourself, find what brings you joy, and create a home that reflects your unique personality.
