We’ve been in our home 32 years, empty nesters & my husband just retired. Trying to find a balance as I adjust to having him home all day. Working around his mess & tending to my own is about all I can handle at the moment.
I really appreciate this message. I’ve been fighting with this mentality my entire life and didn’t realize that it was so debilitating until I developed diabetes and fibromyalgia, which has left me even less able to stay on top of things than before. I need to pace myself, but being a perfectionist, I don’t know how. It’s nice to recognize what’s happening so I can try this new approach. 🥰
Interesting post, never heard of a calm limit before but I can relate to the concept. I often assume that we have too much stuff and need to declutter, but it may be that I am past my calm limit with unfinished business.

We will be empty nesters in five months and are downsizing now. Cleaning creates calmness, getting rid of a bunch of your things is tranquil!
