Reset For Spring: The Big Clean & Declutter
Spring Reset Guide: 6 Steps to Clear Your Space & Refresh Your Energy
There's something magical about spring that makes us want to open the windows, let in fresh air, and start anew. As nature blooms outside, it's the perfect time to create that same sense of renewal in our homes and lives. This spring reset guide will walk you through a complete decluttering process that not only transforms your space but also refreshes your energy and mindset.
1. Set Your Intention
Before diving into any physical decluttering, take a moment to envision how you want your space (and life!) to feel after this reset. Close your eyes and imagine walking through your refreshed home - notice the lightness, the organization, and the calm you feel. Write down three words that capture this feeling, such as "peaceful," "inspired," or "rejuvenated." Keep these intention words somewhere visible as you work through your reset journey.
Create a soothing playlist, light your favorite candle, and perhaps prepare a cup of herbal tea before you begin. This ritual signals to your mind that something beautiful is about to unfold.
2. The Wardrobe Refresh
Your closet often holds the most emotional attachments and energy. Start here:
Create three piles: keep, donate, and maybe
For each item, ask yourself: "Does this make me feel like the woman I'm becoming?"
Try everything in your "maybe" pile and notice how you feel wearing each piece
Organize what remains by color or category
Add fresh sachets of lavender or cedar to keep everything smelling divine
Remember, this isn't just about having less—it's about making space for items that truly serve your highest self and the lifestyle you're creating.
3. Digital Declutter
Our digital spaces need seasonal resets too! Take time to:
Delete unused apps from your phone
Unsubscribe from email lists that no longer serve you
Create new folders to organize documents and photos
Back up important files
Change your wallpaper to something that inspires your spring mood
Clear browser bookmarks and organize them into categories
This digital decluttering creates mental space and reduces the subtle stress of digital overwhelm.
4. Create Sacred Spaces
Now that you've cleared the excess, designate specific areas in your home for activities that nourish your soul:
A self-care corner with your favorite skincare products, crystals, or affirmation cards
A cozy reading nook with soft pillows and good lighting
A small wellness altar with items that inspire your health journey
A clean, organized workspace that sparks creativity
These intentional spaces will support your daily rituals and remind you of what matters most.
5. Deep Clean with Non-Toxic Products
Once the decluttering is complete, give your space a thorough cleaning using non-toxic products. Open windows to let fresh spring air circulate as you:
Wipe down all surfaces with eco-friendly cleaners
Vacuum and mop floors
Wash linens, curtains, and throw pillow covers
Clean mirrors and windows for extra brightness
Diffuse essential oils like lemon, lavender, or eucalyptus to purify the air
This deep clean isn't just about aesthetics—it's about removing stagnant energy and creating a space that feels fresh and vibrant.
6. Seal Your Reset with a Ritual
Complete your spring reset with a beautiful ritual that honors the work you've done and sets the tone for the season ahead:
Take a luxurious bath with flower petals, bath salts, and essential oils
Journal about what you're releasing and what you're welcoming in
Light a new candle and set intentions for the coming months
Prepare a nourishing meal with fresh, seasonal ingredients
Place fresh flowers in your newly refreshed space
This final step transforms your spring cleaning from a chore into a sacred act of self-care and intention setting.
Conclusion
Remember, beautiful soul, this reset isn't about creating perfection—it's about making space for more joy, creativity, and peace in your life. Your environment has a profound impact on your energy and mindset, so treating your space with love is ultimately an act of self-love.
