Episode 243: Autumn Equinox, Decluttering with the Metal Element

Episode 243: Autumn Equinox, Decluttering with the Metal Element

The Autumn Equinox is upon us and for this episode of the Holistic Spaces Podcast we are taking a look at the many different styles of decluttering based on the Five Elements. The process of clearing clutter can sometimes be very intense and overwhelming. What works best for one may prove challenging for another. Learning about your own style and how to work with it, rather than against it, is one of the best ways to approach decluttering in our opinion.

Discussed In This Episode:

  • How it may be best for those with the Wood Decluttering Style to keep the process short and sweet.

  • If you’re more of a Fire person, revisiting memories and the emotions of certain objects may be a crucial part of decluttering.

  • For those with the Earth Decluttering Style, it may be a best to focus on organizing their collections and displaying them with love.

  • Why those with the Metal Style should watch out for over-purging.

  • Ideas for how those with the Water Style can begin to approach their collections of books and art.
