Your home is your castle, the power plant, the engine room of your life. Sometimes we forget to look after it and things get out of hand. We loose control, things get messy. We tend to blame the home, because we feel that something is wrong with it.

However, hear the alarm bells ringing whenever you are blaming anything or anyone: You have just given your power away!

I am writing today’s blog, because I recently had enthusiastic feedback from clients, who were super-happy about the list of jobs I had given them to address the mould issues in their homes. Those lists were long, and I had prefaced them by saying: Please don’t feel overwhelmed, take one step at a time and know that each tiny little step brings improvement.

The two recent clients I am writing about here both felt overwhelmed in the beginning, but a week later told me how they had worked their way down the list and - loving every moment of it!

I am quite surprised: Who loves a list of chores and repair jobs????

Then I understood - it is empowering, to deal with the problems and obstacles in your way and make your life better. A list helps to structure the project at hand and with every sub-task completed, my clients felt how their home was getting better…. healing….. becoming a castle again. Suddenly the family is better, they feel more energetic and ready to take on the next task.

Yes, this really is - taking back your power!
