• Do you care too much about the fate of your clutter?
It's one thing to realise you need to declutter, but so many people find it hard to take action with certain items especially. Why? Because even though they don't want this stuff in their home any more, they can't mentally and emotionally let it go.
If you know you are an over thinker, that's good because it means you have awareness. You can't change behaviour until you have a conscious awareness of that behaviour. On the other hand, maybe you don't really know what I mean by over thinking? In that case I suggest you read on!
• Be inspired by the energy of spring
In a state of overwhelm you feel stuck with the status quo, albeit that it's far from pleasant. Change is inconceivable. It's not even on your radar.
