Focus on Your Home During a Life Reset

If you are in the midst of doing a life reset, don’t forget about your home and 
environment. Far too often, people improve their health, habits, and even finances, but 
forget about the space where they spend so much time. 

Luckily, it is super easy to “Reset” your life in your home, with these tips.


Get Rid of What You Don’t LOVE 

In classic Marie Kondo style, go through your home and get rid of anything that doesn’t 
bring you joy or happiness. All those things you keep around because you might have 
spent a lot of money on it, or thought you would like it more than you do.

This isn’t about getting rid of as much as you can, but just ensuring what you do have, is 
something you really want. Not something you are keeping out of obligation or because 
you’re used to seeing it in that place. If you have a picture hanging in your bathroom 
that doesn’t go with your décor and you don’t smile when you look at it, take it down and 
sell it or give it away. 


Do a Deep Clean

Once you have decided what to get rid of, you can start with your deep clean. This 
process might also be done while you are organizing everything or after, but some 
people like to do it before they organize anything. 

Go through each room, one at a time, and do some deep cleaning. Think spring 
cleaning level of cleaning, where you are cleaning inside drawers and cabinets, 
windows and window frames, baseboards, and walls. It feels like a fresh start just with 
this one simple (but labor-intensive) action.


Organize Cabinets, Closets, and Drawers

If you haven’t done so already, organize different areas of your home that tend to get a 
little cluttered. This is often junk drawers and cabinets where you tend to just throw a 
bunch of random stuff, bedroom closets, underneath your bathroom sink, and in the 
garage or your car. Organize in a way that makes sense and where you can easily find 
what you need.


Consider Simplifying Your Décor

Finally, as you finish resetting your life with your home, you might want to switch up 
your décor or the items you choose to have in your home. Many people find that when 
time comes for a reset, they want to freshen things up, bring some new décor in, and 
just really simplify everything.
