You can find out what worked for me (and what did not). It is about my personal experience, I am not a professional therapist. Over the years I have been <strong>simplifying<\/strong> my life to improve my happiness and to feel more calm.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Life can be overwhelming<\/b><\/p>\n<p>If you experience your life as chaotic, hectic, or overwhelming you will find &nbsp;ideas to improve your wellbeing in my posts.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Organise your <\/b><em><strong>place<\/strong><\/em><b><em>,<\/em> <em>time<\/em>&nbsp;and <em>thinking<\/em><\/b><\/h3>\n<p>I was finding life hard, while I had just about everything a person could wish for. I realised that that was wrong. It had to change. I started searching for ways to get less overwhelmed by my thinking, by my stuff, by my work, by my whole life. I did not know where to start. It turned out that for me <a href=\"_wp_link_placeholder\" data-wplink-edit=\"true\"><strong>decluttering<\/strong><\/a> was the most effective in starting to change my life. (<b>Organise your Place<\/b>). That was what had the most impact. At the same time I have been looking hard at what I wanted and needed to spend the my energy and time on in my life. (<b>Organise your Time<\/b>) Only when I had those two areas sorted a started to gain wellbeing through meditation and mindfulness. (<b>Organise your Thinking<\/b>).<\/p>\n<p>I start posting in this order: first of all how to Organise your Place, then Time and finally Thinking. For the time being only \u2018Organise your Place\u2019 has been published. I am a fan of life long learning and hope to share my learning journey with you.<\/p>\n<p>I hope that by reading my posts, you will get inspired to <strong>simplify your life<\/strong> and as a result improve your life and wellbeing too.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"figure alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hetty.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/923AEADC-D526-4688-98AB-894516193382-300x300.png\" alt=\"Logo Hetty\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hetty.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/923AEADC-D526-4688-98AB-894516193382-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hetty.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/923AEADC-D526-4688-98AB-894516193382-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.hetty.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/923AEADC-D526-4688-98AB-894516193382.png 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"figure-caption text-center\">hetty.co.nz<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong><em>Less<\/em> cleaning, less thinking, less work, less chaos.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>More<\/em> peace, more calm, more time, more space.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<i>The published photos are taken by me, &nbsp;of art I have created, or of what I noticed as beautiful.
