As a consultant, the entire time of the session is spent with the client providing support, motivation and tidying strategies. The effect, however, does not stop when the session ends. It extends further than the home into every aspect of your life. You may feel less anxious and overwhelmed providing you with better sleep. Control and confidence in your decisions, an increase in your general happiness, more free time to spend with your loved ones. A conscious consumer which in turn leads to spending less money. A renewed love of your wardrobe. A new lease of life.
‘Procrastination is the thief of time.’ Charles Dickens. A consultant will guide and keep you on track ensuring good time keeping so you complete your tidying journey in quicker time than you may have done it on your own. During tidying it may be tempting to read your books or letters, or reminisce with photographs, a consultant will focus you and ensure that you follow the correct order of categories. It is also reassuring to know that you are doing it correctly and be able to answer any questions that you may have to provide you with confidence.
A consultant will notice patterns, likes and dislikes that emerge that you may not have noticed yourself. This may give you a better insight into the lifestyle you want to live. It may be a preference for certain colours, styles or a distaste in similar items. Perhaps you are continually holding onto items that have been gifted by a specific person with feelings of guilt without realising. An additional person to communicate with and talk things through can allow your feelings to emerge giving you clarity by talking out loud to resolve an underlying issue. One of my client’s said, ‘It was nice to have someone there who wouldn’t judge and question why items were being discarded.’ Decisions can be made easier and clearer with the support of an impartial person.
Life is busy and prioritising tidying can be put off. A consultant will give you unbiased support and structure which may be the motivator needed to hold you accountable, ensuring you stick to your commitments and reach your end goal to live your ideal lifestyle. The above may influence future purchases, acceptance of gifts, give you confidence in your decisions and brave enough to make choices on your own. All of this will help you to identify your own style in both your home and your life as a whole, leading to a purer way of living.
