How Self Storage East London Can Help Ease The January Blues

It’s 2021, we made it! We can all breathe a small sigh of relief as we begin our journey into the new year.

This year especially, we’re all grateful for a fresh start, but typically, January is one of the ‘bluest’ months of the year. It carries with it cold, dark evenings, post-Christmas debts and maybe more prevalent than in the past, the worry of the unknown. 

Whether you’ve set yourself some resolutions or are deciding to ‘wing it’ a little, taking each day as it comes and focusing on the things you enjoy and can control,  is one way to make the most of January. Although not the obvious cure for the January blues, self storage E14 can definitely help you if you find yourself in this predicament! Giving yourself the gift of extra space will make a real difference to your daily life and help lift your mood, making January a piece of cake. 

Start As You Mean To Go On

So many of us set a new year’s resolution to declutter and sort out the living space. It’s a great goal and totally achievable, but you have to do it in bitesize chunks. Many who start this task believe they have to get everything cleared in one fell swoop and feel defeated when this can’t be the case. If we’re being honest, it’s never a one day job! Try not to be overwhelmed by the task ahead, there’s no rush and it can be a work in progress. 

Start by seeing how much you can sort in half an hour, then take a break, come back to it and repeat the process. You’ll be surprised at what you can achieve! We’re all spending more time at home now, so think of this process as an investment to your quality of your life.

Clearing your clutter into one of our smaller units, let alone our large sea container rentals can give you the space you crave at home instantly. It will allow you to see the benefits of having fewer things in your property, whilst you are able to sort through your belongings at Store That, knowing that you’re making a difference to your year! 

Create Space For A Makeover

Alongside the goal of decluttering, many of us aspire to redecorate, come the new year. Redecorating your home can help to lift your mood and give you somewhere you feel happy to spend time in. 

What stops so many from throwing themselves into the job, is working out what to do with the furniture they already have. Keeping the furniture where it is makes it harder to give your room the desired new look, you run the risk of damaging your homeware with paint and other DIY tools. 

On the other hand, it can also be difficult to find space for bulky items elsewhere in your home. Trying to manoeuvre the furniture and squeeze it together in another room could cause further damage, disorganization and chaos. 

Hiring one of our storage units in E14, will give you somewhere safe and secure to keep your belongings so you can clear the room you are decorating and give it the refresh you’re looking for!

Hobbies Equal Happiness

Taking part in hobbies and allowing time out to indulge in what interests you is fundamental for mental and physical well-being. Our self storage, East London can give you somewhere to keep any equipment or items associated with your pastime, so that they don’t completely take over your home. 

Our secure, easy access drive up units in Canary Wharf are perfect for storing sporting equipment, musical instruments and arts and crafts collections, to name a few. Don’t let a lack of living space stop you from pursuing your passion.
