What do Laurel and Hardy have to do with clutter?

Quite a lot, actually.

Inside many of us, there’s a Laurel, sentimental, emotional, and deeply attached to things.

And there’s a Hardy, impatient, critical, and longing for order.

When those two parts start arguing, our homes become the stage for the conflict.

Not because we’re lazy or disorganised, but because our emotions and our ideals are pulling in opposite directions.

Real change begins when we stop judging the mess and start understanding it.

When your inner Laurel and Hardy finally stop fighting, peace can return, inside and out.

Sometimes the room we avoid dealing with says more about our inner world than the clutter itself.

It is easy to assume avoidance means we lack discipline or motivation, but it can be something much more tender.

Often, that room is holding unfinished stories, old emotions or decisions we have not yet had the capacity to make.

When you notice you are walking past a space without looking in, try meeting it with compassion rather than pressure.

Awareness is a beginning in itself.

If you would like gentle guidance to understand your own patterns of holding, the Home Declutter Kit can help you take the next step with clarity and kindness.

Often the biggest shifts begin with a small moment of honesty.

When someone says to me, “I don’t know why this feels so heavy,” we slow right down.

Because it is rarely just about the objects.

It is about the stories woven through them, the versions of ourselves we have been carrying, and the tenderness we have not yet had space to meet.

When you look beneath the surface, even gently, the home begins to feel lighter.

And something inside you does too.

I would love to know, is there a room or corner in your home that feels emotionally heavy at the moment?

Sometimes the hardest part of decluttering is not the sorting or the decisions.

It is being present with the feelings that rise to the surface as you begin.

I often hear from clients that the real shift came from having someone beside them who could hold both the emotional and the practical at the same time.

That is the heart of my work.

Your home, your memories, your pace, gently supported.

I am grateful for these words from a recent client, and for the trust people place in me when they invite me into their lives.

Decluttering is full of small decisions that often carry big feelings.

It’s rarely just about choosing what to keep, it’s about noticing what still feels like you.

Sometimes we hold onto things that no longer fit our lives, simply because they once did.

Letting go isn’t about loss, it’s about making space for who you’re becoming.

A home that reflects you now will always feel more peaceful. 🌿

12/11/2025

It’s not always the paperwork that feels heavy.

It’s the mental load that comes with it, decisions, deadlines, reminders of what we haven’t done yet.

No wonder we feel drained before we even start.

You don’t need to tackle it all at once.

Join me for Five Days to Paperwork Peace, starting 18 November, and take calm, supported steps toward clarity and order.

It’s donation-based, give what feels right.

Calm doesn’t come from perfection, it grows through small, mindful choices.

One clear surface, a simple pause, a window opened to the light.

Each act of awareness reconnects you with your home and helps restore a sense of ease.

Which one could you try today? 🌿

If you’d like to bring the same calm to your paperwork, join me for Five Days to Paperwork Peace, a gentle, guided challenge from 18–22 November 2025.

Together, we’ll clear the mental and physical clutter that builds up in your paperwork, one simple step at a time.

If those piles of paperwork have been weighing on you, this is your moment to ease the load.

Maybe it’s the unopened envelopes sitting in a drawer. The stack of forms you keep meaning to file. Or that box of old papers you’ve carried from home to home, whispering ‘deal with me’ every time you catch sight of it.

All that unprocessed paper doesn’t just take up space, it quietly drains your energy and clutters your mind.

From 18 November, I’m running Five Days to Paperwork Peace, a calm, guided challenge to help you make real progress in a manageable way.

You’ll get daily guidance emails, three live calls with me, and a simple structure that helps you move forward, wherever you’re starting from.

The challenge is donation-based, so you can contribute whatever feels right.

Even a few focused minutes each day can make a real difference.

Some things can’t simply be thrown away.

They hold our stories, a relationship, a dream that changed shape, or a part of life that’s quietly come to an end.

The Ritual card from my Home Declutter Kit offers a gentle way to mark those endings.

It helps you create a small, beautiful space to honour your memories before letting them go, so that release becomes an act of love, not loss.

Because decluttering isn’t only about clearing. It’s about blessing what has been, and making room for what’s next.

Live simply so that others may simply live.

When you let go of excess, you create space — not just for yourself, but for the world around you. Every item you release lightens your footprint and opens the door to generosity, sustainability, and ease.

Decluttering isn’t just personal; it’s an act of compassion and responsibility.

Sometimes we come across items that stir something deeper. Memories, emotions, or even pain.

That’s where the Gremlins card from my Home Declutter Kit comes in.

It’s for those moments when you know you can’t deal with something right now, a relationship, a loss, or a part of your story that still feels tender.

The Gremlins card gives you permission to set it aside consciously, to label it, put it away, and return to it when you’re ready.

Because making the choice to wait is still a decision. It’s an act of self-awareness and kindness.

If you’d like to bring this kind of gentle structure into your own decluttering, you can explore the Home Declutter Kit at helensanderson.com/shop [link in bio]

Speaking at the Home Life & You Show yesterday was such a joy — there’s nothing I love more than being in a room full of people who care about creating a calmer, more meaningful home.

My Story

I am an interior designer, professional declutterer and home organiser and creator of the Home Declutter Kit. I believe that both beautiful and functional homes uplift the soul and if any space should be uplifting it needs to be the place you go to recharge, your home. My mission is to help you to remove your psychological blocks that are manifest in your home and therefore block your life.

My passion is to use my interior design skills to bring the wow back into contemplation spaces so that spiritual nourishment can be achieved through designing sacred space. Ministry of Calm has no affiliation with the government.
