- There is a profound impact that mindset work can have on decluttering and organizing our homes and lives.
It's not just about making physical changes; it's about embracing a shift in our beliefs and understanding our own capabilities.
If you've ever felt overwhelmed by a cluttered home and dreamed of a minimalist lifestyle, it all begins with the way you think.
The key is to believe in what you are capable of achieving and what can happen when you remove self-imposed limitations.
So often, we hold ourselves back in various areas of life because we lack the belief that we can achieve certain goals.
Whether it's pursuing a particular occupation or embracing minimalism, our mindset plays a critical role. If we don't believe it's possible, we won't take the necessary steps to make it happen.
But here's the truth: if we genuinely believe in our ability to achieve something, we become proactive in making it a reality. We research, make plans, and find solutions instead of dwelling on perceived limitations.
This principle applies equally to decluttering - if we believe we can embrace minimalism, we will persevere and make time to achieve it.
Acknowledging the mental shift involved is crucial.
Let go of thoughts like "I don't have the time" or "I don't have the energy." Instead, start affirming to yourself that you have the time and energy to do what needs to be done.
Build a routine around decluttering, just like one of my RUclips followers, Jess, who turned it into a daily ritual and found joy in the process.
Remember, changing habits requires the belief that change is possible.
Don't overwhelm yourself by setting unrealistic expectations for a perfect morning routine, or any routine for that matter. Start with small, achievable tasks like putting things away, wiping off surfaces, and washing a load of dishes.
The crucial part is to start and make the barrier of entry as low as possible.
We often find ourselves trapped in a busy and chaotic lifestyle because we don't believe it's possible to have free time. But it's essential to challenge this belief and recognize that we have choices in how we spend our time.
Take a closer look at your calendar and identify activities that truly add value to your life. Remove yourself from obligations that don't align with your priorities, remembering that your presence alone should be meaningful.
Now, let's bring that belief in our capabilities to decluttering and organizing.
To simplify our homes, we need to consistently work on it and avoid the "burnout and neglect" cycle.
It's about taking small actions every day, making decisions, and removing unnecessary items from our lives.
Believe in your ability to declutter and trust that each tiny step contributes to the transformation of your home. In summary, the power of belief is the driving force behind transforming our homes and lives.
When we truly believe in our capabilities and the possibility of change, we take decisive actions, embrace minimalism, free up our time, and create an organized and simplified living environment.
It all starts with believing in ourselves.
Unlock the power of belief and embark on this transformative journey towards a decluttered and organized life.
Remember, you are capable, and it starts with the courage to take the first step. Let's do this!

Thank you for the encouragement. 😊
I like your hair it looks easy to maintain, just braid it. Make your hair match your lifestyle simple, simple, simple, simple, and it looks good on you
Morning & evening resets work!
Counseling, many years ago, the therapist said;
If you're depressed, force yourself to make your bed, in the morning. If you don't get anything else done the entire day, you've at least accomplished one thing so you won't feel like a failure. Once that becomes a habit, add one more thing for the next habit, building one habit at a time.
My renewed fav interiors is now minimal. At 65 l have had enough. Home is easy on my eye. Stylish still...but only what l use and is surportive. Hard to clean...l gave away. I don't enjoy house cleaning. So l support myself by maintaining rather than big cleans. One room per month...big clean. I love it.
Such a glow up! I love the hair, you look amazing.
Love your hair style. Nice on you, fresh..❤
LOVE your hair. Your such a pretty woman.
Over last few years I've decluttered my home, my clothes just basically everything. Have amazing routines that are so easy and if something comes up and I miss a day of my routines it's takes no time at all to catch up or can just get left because I'm so simple with my lifestyle now. I guess what I'm saying is I've found contentment and I love it 😊
There's a lot to be said for contentment!
Sourdough bread looks beautiful. I’ve been a long time baker.
I had to become low, carb to avoid diabetes, and I miss that kind of bread.
That Apron is the BEST...I LOVE it.
😂 It makes me laugh every time I wear it!
What is the translation?
@@JiZd-xj1ok Vert der Ferk ... The Swedish Chef coined translation of W.T.F., appropriate for incognito cursing around small children, marionettes, puppets or on television.

gahhh!!! 3 day pile of dishes to 2 day pile to 1 day pile to each meal… 👍 you’re a genius girl ❤ because no way am I gonna spend the WHOLE DAY cleaning my kitchen! So I do nothing and it accumulates 🤦🏻♀️
“I am capable…” Thank you again! 🙏
I hate dish piles to.
I like how you compared getting caught up on dishes to a bank account - as long as you're in the positive, you will be ahead
I never realized how decluttering could have such a profound impact on my life until I watched this. Definitely trying this approach.
We listen to ourselves! If I say “I am crazy busy” then by gosh I am. If I say “I have the time” then I do. Around here we also call that programming ourselves.
Also, we only hear the verb. Avoid the word “not”. Best example I use to explain is: when you say “don’t run” to a child, what do they do? Run!
A lot of people give up because they don't see the end results. You'll never do it unless you make a move. Improve it to yourself. And keep away from naysayers. There's always gonna be somebody that knows better than you, And profess that they know what's best for you. But in reality, it's only you that knows what's best for you. Especially when you start finding yourself.
Minimalism for me looks like an utterly cluttered and full craft/art studio and the rest of the house is EMPTY! 😊
I needed to read this today. 😊❤
Listening to this , it reminded me of seeing sahm's rushing to get their children to school, while wearing pajamas, robes sippers, hair a mess etc. I was up at least an hour before my children so I could shower, dress, put my make up on and have a quiet cup of coffee before my children got up. The night before, their lunches were made and in the fridge, back packs were packed , their clothes had been set out. By the way, I am not a morning person and never have been. My point is, living life for yourself and your family comes down to maturity. Ask yourself questions such as "Why do we have too much stuff that clutters up our home? Is all of this stuff showing honor to our children, significant other/spouse and ourselves? " Why is it I can find plenty of time to be on my phone but not do the needed tasks to keep our home clean, tidy and safe. Getting rid of at least 60% of the"stuff" and only bringing in needs will make all the difference. Watch some episodes of the show Hoarders on You Tube to see how bad it can get and the mental effects having too many things can cause. Anyone can have a clean and neat home, you just have to do it.
My dearest darling Rachel!Thank you very much for making such a lovely video!
I like the term resetting of my kitchen and other rooms . It is the best idea that I got from you. Thank you.
Over the years, I have decluttered my bathrooms, kitchen, my side of my bedroom, living room, and school stuff. I am very happy with my progress. My frustration comes from the rest of my house and the outside. My husband and 4 kids (22-13) believe that an object's home is wherever they have set it.
When my kids were at home and they left stuff around belonging to them I would gather them all and make a pile in middle of room and they soon realised mam wasn't happy and moved their stuff, just an idea 😊
@@Nanatracie Love it 🥰
We tend to want breakthrough improvement vs incremental improvement. Slow and easy wins the race. I really your realistic and positive message. Sometimes we just need to hear it from an objective person. Thank you and oh, the bread dough looked excellent. Great job on “finding time” to maintain balance.
Great video + ❤ the hair x
I like this straight hair, in braids.
It's cute.❤ You look even younger than ever. 🙂
Dear Rachel, I really needed to hear this. So thank you.
Tbh, I think I needed to hear that about the bigger things or just about my overall capabilities in general more than about decluttering or the homebody/domestic stuff.
I may watch this on a loop for a while. Very calming but mainly makes me feel like I can do this!
I love you Rachel ❤ you are such a gift from God. Thank you for your help, wisdom and peace you bring to my life.
I love your videos. They have helped me so much. ❤️
Love this one❤
Thanks for being a little bit of calm in my crazy busy life.❤❤
Thank you for such a helpful video Rachel, you are always the motivation I need! Your hair looks adorable on you, simple and easy. Can! wait to check out your sour dough loaves!
Rachel, your channel always has the best advise. I'm always happy to see a new upload.
Thank you.
Cheers
Wow, did I need this video today!! Thanks!
Thank you!! And where can I get that apron? I absolutely love it!!!
Well said! Blessings
I like this hair : )
This is a really great video that touches on so many important points! Even if some of your older videos might technically say similar stuff, it’s so valuable to reiterate it over and over! Also, your work and progress (even since stating the RUclips videos, let alone the stories of your entire journey) are so inspiring! Thank you and congratulations! 🎉❤
Good video!
Love your videos! I am trying to change been decluttering a little at a time. I love your hair that way!
* I forgot to say that I put the stuff I'm decluttering in the trunk of my car as I declutter and when it's full I take it to the thrift store and donate it
You are my ASMR
Aw, thank you! 😊
Bad Feng shui...exposing your knifes. Daggers coming at you. Into the drawer. Your energy will change.
What is the translation of the apron?
The Apron! Are you Swedish heritage? Norwegian roots myself.
LOL! Yes, my mom is a full Swede. 😊
Aww, I miss the locs!
That'll be the next video! 😁
Dad gum it!! Why in the tarnation do I care about how you wear your hair!! I drive myself crazy! Maybe its because I am an old fuddy duddy! It just doesn't seem natural, kinda like walking into Hobby Lobby! LOL
@@beckypennies1637 😂 ❤
@beckypennies1637 what an honest and sweet reply!!
BTW, love the locs!!
Hello! Im wondering how i can get ahold of you?
I really like your message. But it is so hard to listen to your video with the ongoing sounds in the background. Other youtubers use a bit of music in the intro, and I can manage that. But to have to filter out the background noise for an entire video is just too much for me.
I know it's a personal issue, but maybe I am not the only one.
I know what you mean 😢 . Im occasionally sensitive to background noise, but i had to replay it again to notice it. You poor thing.
Thanks for the feedback! ❤️
Cutting bread ? I would not have washed that knife, just wiped it with the T towel. I wouldn’t have washed that cutting board, i would have wiped the crumbs into the sink and put it straight back ! Im a minimalist, I probably would have just cut the bread on the countertop and wiped the crumbs into the floor 🤪😜
If I skipped a night of cleaning my dishes, I made sure to clean my pots & pans. Rinse my plates and silverware. 🥄 🍴 This way I didn’t become overwhelmed. I loathe washing dishes. This system works for me. 🥹🙃🙂😇☺️ Baby steps. 🐾
