OWN’s Extreme Clutter Brings Simple Lessons with a Big Heart

by paula on January 28, 2012

In the final episode of this second season of ”Extreme Clutter” with Peter Walsh on OWN, the story is an amazing one.  While often we are introduced to families that are working to regain control of their homes and their own journey through life, this week we are taken into the world of Leanne Paddock and her family and gain an understanding that everyone needs a little help…and hanging on to things is something we all deal with…whether they are tucked under the bed or tucked inside an airplane hanger.  On this season’s finale, Peter is faced with his biggest storage clean out and transforms the lives of what has been holding this family back and helps them lift the burden and move forward into the future.  Here are some of the lessons that this amazing family and visit brought to our lives…

  • Things don’t always appear as they seem.
  • A family’s capacity to love is endless…you just have to open up your heart and sometimes your home to it.  Be open for it to find you. 
  • “Every child deserves a forever family.” – Leanne Paddock
  • If you need a storage unit, ask yourself why are you hanging on to the stuff.
  • Sell off your storage stuff – Sell your big stuff and make some of your money back that you paid on storage.
  • Slow down and see how you move through your day and don’t forget to put yourself on your list.
  • Pantry MISTAKE – Buying containers.  If you are going to have storage, make sure that it’s used and useable.  Don’t just fill the pantry with more chaos.
  • Your stuff is not a reflection of you.  Your family and your life is the true reflection of you. – Peter Walsh
  • Family wins every single time.  – “If it’s a choice between you and your family, family wins every single time.” – Peter Walsh
  • When you tackle a room remember…the first few hours may be tough and traumatic but it’s always worth it.  Stick to the process and stick with it until the very end.
  • “Helping others is a great thing but not when it  jeopardizes the life that you and your family should be living.” -Peter Walsh
  • Learn to say “Help” and “No” in your life.  – Peter Walsh
  • It’s time to let go of what you don’t use & make space for your new life & experiences to come!
  • Letting go of stuff you don’t need or use lifts the weight off your life & lets your life soar! 
  • Taking care of the world is so amazing…but in the process don’t forget to take care of yourself…

OWN’s Extreme Clutter Reminds Us What’s Really Important

by paula on January 19, 2012

Each week, Organizational Expert, Peter Walsh, brings care and understanding to OWN’s Extreme Clutter and helps people get control of their lives and their homes. Often showing us that the chaos has less to do about the clutter and more to do about what is going on in their lives. This week, Peter introduces us to just this kind of family. Peggy admits, “Our house is bad.” With her and her daughter both troubled with their clutter in their lives, both anger and stuff have created a big divide between them both. While her husband, Adam, traces the clutter back to when Peggy was laid off, we soon find out that Peggy has twin boys – and the age of seven they were both diagnosed with a rare genetic disease. One son is Andrew is confined to a wheelchair. Little Adam passed away at eleven years old. Suddenly, the chaos of the house doesn’t seem like chaos at all…it seems like pieces of the emotional life that her family has been living through. Beautiful lessons this week for this family. How brave they are to share and how wonderful Peter is through the whole process. Amazing.

Here are some lessons from Peter and Extreme Clutter this week…

  • “Anyone who has suffered loss is susceptible to destructive behavior.” – Peter Walsh
  • Parents – Don’t go with the “Do what I say, not as I do” parenting. It doesn’t work.
  • Remember to talk with…not at.
  • Does your room reflect who you are? Why not? Do something about it.
  • Before you do anything, ALWAYS take the time to stop and see a vision for your room and for your life.
  • Clutter can ruin relationships. Remember…people are always more important to anything in your home.
  • Empty rooms and arrange like items together to make your process go faster and a little easier.
  • Don’t forget to clean out under your bed.
  • Kids learn from you. What are you teaching them? What do you want to teach them? Start today.
  • Your “vision” pile reflects what you want your home to look like.
  • The “out the door” pile needs to not make it back in your home.
  • Give things that are important to you a place of honor in your home.
  • Things are not worth fighting over. Never.
  • Talk with each other about your vision.
  • “When you take the things to you that are most important and treat them with honor and respect, as soon as you see them, your heart sings.” – Peter Walsh
  • You can change your life at anytime…just believe that you can.

OWN’s Extreme Clutter Brings Respect Back Home

by paula on January 14, 2012

Tonight on Extreme Clutter, Organizational Expert, Peter Walsh, is faced with more than just a little clutter and chaos. Working with a family who is overwhelmed with stuff, it’s clearly breakdown and shopping craziness that’s happening as well. A picture that could be painted in probably anyone’s life at one time or another, this situation is representative of what is going on in their lives…a lot of stress. While the process is to help them organize, there is more that Peter will be faced with in this episode. Giving up and giving in, this familiy is working to survive and move forward and with a little help from Peter, they may just make it.

Here are some lessons from tonight’s episode:

  • Yes, you can have too many shoes.
  • What you do, you teach your kids to do.
  • Too much stuff equals too much to focus on.
  • Peter suggests that you only need 10 pair of shoes.
  • Too many things get in the way of life.
  • You can’t keep everything if you have too much stuff. Keep what you use.
  • Set limits. Parents make decisions for the kids. Don’t let the children rule the house.
  • Shopping can be an addition. It’s important to live within your means.
  • Don’t let your things steal your family and your relationship from you.

 

From OWN: Before and After: Addicted to Shopping – Stacy is a shopaholic, and she’s dragging her husband, Michael, and their two kids into a dangerous cycle of clutter and debt. Watch the reveal!
