Abigail Llewellyn-Kodua from The Indigo and Co. Inc, has some great suggestions to starting your new year of organization out on the right foot. Abigail’s belief is “..In order to cleanse yourself inside and out, it is imperative that you also cleanse the environment you live in.”

I couldn’t have said it better.

With the New Year finally here your resolutions should be in full swing.

You’ve decided that you’ll start a new & positive approach to life. You’ve already made a resolution to keep fit & eat healthy, quit smoking and treat others with kindness and respect.  In the process of trying to become that great person inside and out, keep in mind, that your surroundings play a big part in your overall well being.
I’ve listed a few tips on what I believe will assist you on your journey in creating the new you and your positive approach to life.

• De-clutter: Throw away those little “nic-nacks” you’ve accumulated over the year. If you haven’t used them throughout the year, chances are you don’t need them.
• Store seasonal items: If you live in a seasonal country, store away the items you are not using at that time.  Heavy duvets are not needed in the summer, so pack them up in vacuum sealed bags until the time comes to use them.
• Discard the junk cluttering your office drawers! (No, you don’t need 7 packets of ketchup and 10 packets of sugar in your drawer!).

• Keep your space smelling fresh by either adding scented candles or reed diffusers.
• Purchase new bed sheets – Throw out the old tattered sheet and indulge in good quality bed sheet sets.
• Let the sunshine in! – Constantly surrounded by darkness is not always healthy, open up the blinds at work or buy lighter curtains for your home! – Sunlight gives you a good source of Vitamin D, it lightens depression and aides in improved digestion!
• Keep plants or fresh flowers in your space all year round. – It’s a fresh way to brighten your day and create clean air for your home or office!
• Frame those family photos you’ve got tacked on your wall divider at work.  It’s great to have your family & pets surrounding you but limit the amount of photos you have.  1 or 2 framed photos should be sufficient.

Follow these tips and you will be well on your way to a brighter, healthier future!
