When the Clutter Feels Like Chaos: Reclaiming Your Space to Rebuild Your Peace
Jun 20, 2025
You ever look around your house and just… sigh?
The dishes, the laundry, the papers everywhere.
It’s not just physical clutter—it’s emotional weight.
Today, I woke up feeling like the mess in my space was echoing the mess in my mind.
And I know I’m not the only one.
When you’re healing, grieving, starting over… even basic cleaning can feel impossible.
But sis, here’s the truth:
You don’t need to clean your whole life in one day. You just need one small win.
Why Clutter Feels So Heavy When You’re Healing
-
It represents everything you “should” be doing
-
It drains your already-low energy
-
It feels like one more thing you can’t control
But when your environment is chaotic, your spirit can’t exhale.
5 Things That Helped Me Today
-
I cleaned one corner. Just one. And that was enough.
-
I lit a candle before I cleaned—not after.
Sometimes a little beauty sets the tone. -
I played soft worship music while I folded clothes.
-
I prayed out loud while sweeping. (“God, clean out what I can’t see.”)
-
I forgave myself for the mess. Healing is hard. It’s okay.
Real Talk:
This isn’t about Pinterest perfection.
It’s about making space for peace to return.
You’re not lazy. You’re healing.
You’re not messy. You’re rebuilding.
