As well as the Valentine theme in stores, the other hot items seem to be  storage containers and units to help us clear out the clutter.  I do like to de-clutter from time to time and always feel better for it, as it makes the house seem tidier and bigger.

For some just the thought of de-cluttering is overwhelming. This can be attributed to not knowing where to start so put it off, not wanting to part with their treasures for sentimental reasons, and because they may have some use one day.

This is where the Bach Flowers come into their own, helping with the will power to get started and with the emotions that are attached to your treasures.

Pine is for giving us the ability to accept responsibility realistically and to have sound judgment without feeling guilty. If at some point you feel overwhelmed once the furniture is being moved around and there is a huge mess of papers on the floor, Elm helps to put everything into perspective and self-assurance that it will be done in the end.

If you start something and get discouraged Gentian is the remedy to assist with the feeling that no task is too daunting to undertake. For feelings of hopelessness Gorse is your remedy, which gives a sense of hope and faith.

Too tired or busy to de-clutter? Olive provides a restoration of strength and vitality. If even the thought of the rearranging and lifting heavy objects around makes you feel tired, Hornbeam helps with the ability to get on with it.

Now that your house has been rearranged and de-cluttered to the best of your ability everything seems different. Walnut is for adapting to change and that it is possible to move forward.
