If you are anything like me, when you look around at all the clutter in your home, you feel drained and can't find the energy to clear it away. It keeps piling up and every time you look at it you feel more and more drained and at a loss as to where to start.
The thing is that energy is all around us, everything is energy, even your possessions, although seemingly inanimate objects, have energy. Our possessions are believed to hold our memories and connections. This means if you have things that you no longer use, want or need, they are tying up your energy, creating inactivity in the energy of your surroundings. Most people have no idea how much their clutter affects them. It is only when you start clearing it out your clutter, you will realize how much better you feel without it.
Most people who have clutter say they have no energy to begin to clear it. They constantly feel tired. But the stagnant energy that stacks up around clutter actually causes listlessness. Clearing it frees up the energy in your home and releases new abundant physical and mental energy in your body.
Having your space filled with clutter leaves no room for anything new to come into your life. Your thinking tends to dwell in the past, and you get caught up in ongoing problems. Clearing your clutter allows you to begin to deal with your problems and move forward. You have to release the past to create a better future.
When you are surrounded by clutter, clarity about what you are doing in your life is impossible. When you clear the clutter you can think more clearly, and making decisions becomes easier.
Having clutter can affect the way people treat you. People treat you the way you treat yourself. If you value and look after yourself, you will be treated well by others. If you allow the clutter to pile up around you, you may often attract people whom you would be better off without.
Do you often ashamed to invite anyone over because the clutter has piled up so much? Do you find yourself hiding or not answering the door when someone drops by unannounced because you are so embarrassed over the mess?
It is time to clear out the clutter in your home and in your life. You will be amazed at the difference it can make in the way you feel about yourself and your home, and the abundance of energy you will suddenly feel.
Being in flow is the most fantastic feeling in the world. Moving effortlessly through life achieving everything you want to achieve.
