Transform Your Life
H
BY FELICIA D’HAITI
ow many times in your life have you
cleared clutter for it to magically reappear
in your home? Do you wake up wondering
where all this “stuff” came from when you just
dropped off twenty bags to a charity? I’ve even
wondered in the past if clutter had mystical
powers to re-create itself in the same exact
spot from where it was just cleared. Though
many see clutter as just a side effect of living
a full life, it is much more than that. Clutter
originates in our mind and in our emotions,
then manifests as objects that can tie us to
the past, keep us stuck in the present, or
distract us from our true mission.
Once I became more familiar with the idea
that the physical clutter is not just about the
stuff, it became easier for me to release
what did not support me. Clutter is tightly
connected to our thoughts and emotions,
whether we recognize that or not. When I
began to examine the source of the clutter
creation, I could more effectively release it
once and for all. Yet, this process does take
some front-loading before beginning the
actual clutter clearing process.
