Ruth Soukup's new book, Unstuffed: Decluttering Your Home, Mind & Soul, is not a typical decluttering book. In it, the author talks about decluttering our spaces, yes, but she also talks about decluttering our minds and our souls as well. I have long been aware of the connection between my environment and my mind. If my environment is chaotic, so are my thoughts. It stands to reason that it does no good to take care of decluttering my physical space, without addressing the mental and soul clutter as well. If I don't address the inner issues, the outer clutter manifestation will creep back in.
The book is divided into three sections: home, mind, and soul, and each section is further divided into three chapters with themes such as creating a vision for your home, storage, kids, schedule, other people's stuff, cultivating real relationships, and finding balance in a chaotic world. Ms. Soukup uses a mixture of personal stories and practical advice to inspire her readers to make lasting meaningful changes in their lives.
I really liked this book, and found it incredibly inspiring. That's noteworthy, because often books about decluttering or cleaning leave me feeling discouraged and defeated. It's a quick and easy read, and contains practical, doable suggestions for unstuffing your life.
