Letting Go — and the Unexpected Gift That Comes With It
One of the most surprising parts of my organizing journey was the abundance that came when I finally let go of clutter and chaos.
The greatest gift I received was time — time for myself and for the people I love.
💫 Time for Myself
This is when my spiritual life truly came alive! I finally had time to slow down and spend quiet moments in prayer — something that continues to bless me every day.
My physical health improved, too. I started exercising, cooking healthy meals, and even reading again. I found the energy and creativity to create content for my clients, post on social media, and even write a book!
The gift of time appeared once I stopped living like a hamster on a wheel. Survival mode was no longer my default — each day had meaning and purpose again.
💞 Time for Others
We were created to live in connection with others — and real relationships take time. Once I learned to slow down and be present, I began building deeper connections with my family and friends.
My family finally felt heard, and our relationships grew stronger. Letting go of the burdens that kept me distracted gave me the freedom to show up fully. These connections have truly been good for my soul.
🪞 Looking Back
It’s not easy to share what life was like before I started letting go — but it’s part of the story.
Back then, I:
- Was always rushed (and usually running late)
- Constantly misplaced things — no real system in place
- Ate dinner on the go because our schedule was packed
- Lived in a reactive state — always putting out fires
- Got sick often because I wasn’t taking care of myself
- Went to church weekly but rarely took time for prayer
- Felt tension in my home and within myself
Even as I type this, I can’t believe that was me. But I’m grateful for the person I’ve become — and continue to grow into.
Letting go has blessed my life abundantly.
