My Experience With Spacious Homes
​
By Sue Goodson (England)
​
Thank you Spacious Homes for all your support, it has been amazing. I was astonished at how easy it was to de-clutter with the support of the program, and how easy it flowed. My home office feels amazingly spacious now, warmer, much more open, and I no longer resist going in there. I have my office space back at last….
I have wanted a tidy, organised home office space for ages, but I kept putting it off, and it would never get done. I avoided going in there due to feeling overwhelmed with the mess. I realised with the support of Spacious Homes that this old pattern of mine was really holding me back. The program gave me the awareness that the time was now, no more delay, no more putting it off, which I had done for many many years.
​
At the start of the decluttering, resistance would pop up, and the mountain of paperwork to tackle felt too difficult to beat. I would feel tired and lethargic, and could have easily been distracted to do other things, but I carried on. It was through committing to the program and to myself, that supported me to make a start each day, and once started I felt to keep going, as once in the flow it felt effortless.
At the end of the day I felt much more energised and satisfied with the result and the space I had made in my office that day. I made time to do a little each day, and even de-cluttered most of the weekend. I was sleeping better and I had a very clear dream confirming my commitment, and the purpose of decluttering to make more space.
​
The support of the program empowered me to take responsibility, something shifted in me, as I claimed and made the program my own, thus making more space for a graceful flow in my office space.
​
My body feels clearer too, a knowing that simplicity is exactly what supports me. I'm now feeling even more in my body, and have a deeper understanding of the link between a spacious home and a spacious body and how one leads to the other.
​
An unexpected bonus has been to shine a light on other pockets of the house which are untidy, and more awareness of how everything is interlinked energetically. I now have the de-clutter bug and can feel that there is more work to be done, which is great as before the program I might have been content to just do a little surface tidying. The more things are shifting, the deeper I want to go, so that the whole house is in harmony.
​
It's been very profound working with Jacqueline, as I am now reaping the benefits of more simplicity and ease in my life. I am very grateful to her for inspiring me to achieve this in my home and for all the practical tips and steady support which helped me achieve a goal which had been so out of reach for so long. I am now able to focus with much more purpose and clarity. Spacious Homes is such a good name as that is exactly how my office feels - Spacious!
A heartfelt thank you Jacqueline.

How de-cluttering my home office impacted all areas of my life
By Helen Elliot, Ipswich, England
​
My office had become a dumping ground for clutter from the rest of the house. I avoided it as I could never find anything because of being so disorganised. I also felt ashamed of my inability to get on top of it and never thought to ask for support. Committing to 4 weeks support with Jacqueline from Spacious Homes, my office transformed.
The first week was hard, I felt overwhelmed, and probably would have given up because of my resistance, as I was unaccepting of the mess I had created and of spending the time it would take to clear it! However with support, by the end of week I was feeling hugely encouraged by the progress made so far and could feel that once it is done, I will would keep on top of it. I even found important papers I had lost. It felt great to re-imprint this and feel the spaciousness in the room and in my body with what had been achieved so far, and also that it would no longer be a dumping ground.
​
I also got to see how I hold back from asking for support believing that I have to do it on my own – which no longer holds true. No more resistance and ready for week two.
After the second week: I have had much more confidence to feel when was the right time to declutter ( so it just flowed ) and when was not. I learned not to declutter when I was tired. Loving the results of my work and feeling liberated by getting rid of stuff that has been hanging around for years.
​
Amazing how things have unfolded – as I got rid of clutter and filed papers away it became clear how to move things around to create a supportive space for me to work in and how I could start to use things like my in tray for its true purpose rather than as another place to dump stuff!
​
Another surprise has been how what I am doing in the office has been reflected in other areas of my life – I had no internet at work on Friday and spent the morning , sorting papers, filling, recycling, shredding and creating a supportive work station for myself and my colleagues.
Thank you Jacqueline, it is super supportive having your confirmations and I can feel the shift in me and how it is impacting all areas of my life.
​
What has also been exposed for me is how I hold back from welcoming people into my home because I am ashamed of my clutter and allow this to prevent me opening up my heart and my home for fear of being judged. Another belief busted and more space created as I no longer feel less than, when around others. It is powerful how we bring things in to keep us separate and then feel isolated and unsupported.
​
I spent 4 weeks working with Jacqueline as that’s what was needed. I am now appreciating not just the space I now have in my office but also how this is reflected in my body with the de-cluttering of old beliefs that have held me back for so long.

My home and my life have been transformed and I can’t thank Jacqueline enough.
