Identify and tackle a simple shift in your home!

It’s time to create a more peaceful home alongside Erin. Pick a space in your house to focus on first and then follow along with these steps:

Take a piece of paper and divide it in half. On one side, write all the positive things that space makes you feel—on the other, write the negative feelings it gives you.
Draw a line underneath those feelings, and write down the physical things about your space that make you feel those feelings—for example, in your kitchen, maybe your pantry storage makes you feel organized, but your Tupperware drawer makes you feel stressed every time you open it.
Pick one thing on your list to tackle, snap a quick “before” picture, and then see what you can do to simplify and make your space work better for you, ideally without having to purchase any new gadget or organization system. This is about simple shifts using your resourcefulness and what you already have around you.

Once you’re done, take a picture of your work and share your before and after pictures in the project gallery. Feel free to share your list from the first step, too—maybe others will have ideas for more ideas for ways you can continue to make your space better for you!
