Embarrassed by Your Messy House? Why Letting Go of Perfectionism Makes Your Home Easier to Clean, Reset, and Live In #232

What if the home you keep measuring against everyone else's has been good enough for a while now?

When our homes don't measure up, we tell ourselves we're not organised enough or disciplined enough, and that other women manage this better. I know because I’ve spent years using other people's homes as a measuring stick, noticing what wasn't right. 

In this episode, I'm talking about comparing yourself to others, and why a decluttering mindset has to start with the standard you're holding your home to. 

You'll learn:

• What a pair of jeans in storage showed me about the standard I'd been chasing
• What turned other people's homes into a measuring stick for my own messy house
• Why I stopped chasing the perfect home and what I needed instead
• Why my home still gets messy, and why that's what a normal messy house looks like
• What the paper reset asked instead of building the world's most beautiful filing system
• Why letting go of perfectionism started with my home before it reached my body
• What wanting a lived in home changed about who I'm keeping the house tidy for
• What question helps you stop comparing yourself to others when you look around your home

If you've been searching for how to stop comparing yourself to others or overcoming perfectionism in the home you actually live in, this episode is for you.

Here's to a home that's good enough for the life you're living,
Caroline
