When Clutter Happens

Clutter!  I will bring this subject up a lot - it's that huge!  Feng Shui teaches us that to create opportunity and possibility, you must first see what is holding you back, and clear the way.

Even when we don't "see" our clutter, it still effects us.  You may not "see" it, but you know it is there!  That knowledge creates an internal clutter, which acts like a clog, holding us back.

Start small, and listen to your internal voice.  You already know which area needs to be tackled first, because it's the one that is "talking" to you the loudest.

The crazy thing about clutter is, once you begin, you will find that it's not nearly as over-whelming as it seemed.

Tips to get you started:

• Throw out any broken items.
• If you haven't used it in a while, and can't picture yourself using it in the near future, donate it.
• Items that are sentimental, set aside for now - don't let it slow your progress.
• Keep items where they belong (ex. bathroom items in the bathroom, kitchen items in the kitchen).

Clutter seems to accumulate and pile up almost on a will of its own.  Before you know it, you have clutter everywhere! 

We are great at disguising clutter: behind closed doors, in closets, in drawers.  The longer it "hides", the harder is it to tackle.  Out of sight, out of mind . . . but wait, not so quick!

The "magic" of clearing clutter happens almost immediately.  You will feel "lighter", that is because you are no longer "weighed" down by clutter.

What's better, you have now opened up your life for possibilities and opportunities!
