What is the “in between” stage?
Welcome back to the Declutter for Change podcast! In today’s episode, we’re exploring the nuanced stage of decluttering known as the “in-between.”
Picture this: you’ve made significant strides in clearing out the clutter from your home, mind, or soul, but you’re not quite at the point of feeling fully liberated yet. You’re past the initial excitement and motivation of getting started, yet the finish line still seems a bit distant. This “in-between” phase can feel like you’re in a limbo of sorts, but it’s also a crucial moment of growth and transformation. It’s where you begin to truly understand the depth of your decluttering journey and recognize the power of incremental progress.
During this stage, you may find yourself facing moments of uncertainty or hesitation, but don’t let that deter you. Embrace the opportunity to explore new strategies, adapt your approach, and continue moving forward.
Embrace the in between
Whether it’s scheduling regular decluttering sessions, reassessing your systems, or simply practicing self-compassion, there are countless ways to navigate the in-between and stay motivated on your decluttering journey.
Remember, every small step you take brings you closer to the life you desire—a life of simplicity, clarity, and abundance. So, let’s lean into the challenges, trust the process, and keep moving forward with courage and determination.
Together, we can conquer the in-between and emerge stronger, wiser, and more aligned with our true selves. Happy decluttering!
