How Stacey Solomon's Sort Your Life Out Gave Me a Renewed Sense of Motivation

Stacey Solomon has a TV show called Sort Your Life Out and it's one of the more motivating and inspiring television shows.

Have you ever watched a TV series, a non-fiction one at that, and felt as though you've learnt something or have been inspired to do something?

Well, watching Sort Your Life Out by Stacey Solomon did that for me. I've written a post before about the American show Get Organised: The Home Edit and whilst this show is similar to Sort Your Life Out, it's also very different.

In Stacey Solomon's show, you see Stacey and her team help out UK families by sorting through every single item in their house, cleaning the house and repurposing each space. Whilst watching it, you do pick up tips and tricks as well as feel inspired to get off the sofa and work on the space around you.

In the TV show, Stacey and her team go through steps with each family to ultimately give them the best home possible. To start they sort everything inside the house - and I mean everything - into boxes, which are then taken to a warehouse. There, the family has to sort through each item deciding whether to keep it or get rid of it. As the family is doing the sorting, the rest of the team is cleaning the house and building different bits of furniture to utilise the rooms as best they can.

Once everything has been completed for the family, they then have a house that is tidy, organised and practical for them to live an easy, stress-free life.

The effect of Sort Your Life Out

My family and I watched an episode of the show the other evening after dinner, which was lovely. However, once I'd watched the episode I had a new spurt of energy and motivation to begin sorting through our house and organising things.

I'm writing this post because it's incredible how watching one thing can alter your mindset and perspective on life.

One thing I want to do this year is to sort through one room in our house and reorganise and restructure it so it becomes a sort of 'hobby room'. What I mean by that is a room that's part library and part art studio.

My sister and I would love a library in our house - when we get our own, that's a must-have - and so when we reorganise the spare room, we want to have a big bookcase and a comfy chair to be able to sit and read in. For our parents, our mum is amazing at cross-stitch and our dad is an incredible artist so having a space to do cross-stitch and draw would be great.

Watching Sort Your Life Out has made me realise that a) I need to start actually doing, not just thinking/talking, and b) we need to go through the essentials for what we want to include in the spare room and section off an area for each aspect.

The only problem I had watching the show was that it was in the evening. Usually, watching a TV show in the evening is fine, it can be relaxing; however, Stacey Solomon motivated me to start sorting but because it was before going to bed that I watched it, I couldn't start sorting.

However, I have since begun making plans and lists of how to tackle creating my own episode of Sort Your Life Out.

If you have never seen the programme before or if you have a space in your home that you want to spruce up and repurpose, give it a watch. Once you do, you'll (hopefully) feel the same as I did and be inspired and motivated to get up and start doing because after you've transformed a space into its best possible version of itself, you'll feel calmer and happier.

Let me know if you've watched the show before or if you haven't and if you end up doing a bit of your own Sort Your Life Out episode.

Until next time...
