This weekend brings a Bank Holiday weekend here in the UK, and my focus will be the dreaded Spring Cleaning ! I’ve got my favourite eco-friendly cleaning products at the ready.
It got me thinking about how the change in seasons often brings a natural urge to refresh. For some (like me!), that means scrubbing floors and sorting cupboards, but for others e.g. those on the road full time, it might be a mental reset, reviewing what you’re carrying (physically or emotionally), or clearing your digital clutter.
What does a seasonal reset look like for you? Whether you’re living in bricks and mortar or on the road, do you have any existing rituals, routines, or reflections you return to each season… or new ones you’re trying?
This began a period of unbridled opportunity as I was able to have a bit of a clear out.
No cupboard was safe, no junk drawer ignored.
I’m still not entirely sure how we (I) accumulate so much stuff, but Spring is a time of renewal and I cleared a whole bunch of stuff from the house… no doubt, ready to be refilled with more junk over the year ahead.
Moving my winter clothes into storage and bringing out my Spring/Summer wardrobe is my seasonal reset. I’m a bit OCD so no need for clear outs and big cleans. Although, by the looks of some of my underwear a clothes clean out might be on the cards.
Nesting at home — alternating with travel — recharges me. I clean and tidy as I go, whether at home or on sits. I love clean and neat settings.
We recently moved across the country and had our new-to-us home remodeled. Remodeling is always a hassle. We’re finally nearing the end of unpacking and settling in, given that.
Once the dust settles, we’ll have a clear-out of any leftover furniture or decor. We donate things before and after any move. I dislike having stuff hanging around unnecessarily.
