Whether you realize it, clutter is a huge energy drainer. While most people think of clutter as being physical stuff, there are many more ways we become exhausted and drained.
My friend Vicky White, Feng Shui and Attraction Coach says, Clutter is anything unfinished, unused, unresolved, tolerated or disorganized. Clutter is energy constipation! It will bog you down and stop the energy flowing in your life and so affect your prosperity, relationships and well-being. It will stop you having the quality of life you REALLY want.
Ask yourself: “Do I love it, do I use it, and does it make my heart sing?” Get a “no”, out it goes!
5 Examples of Physical Clutter:
~ Piles of papers ~ Clothes that no longer fit, are old, need repair ~ Garden is in need of weeding and trimming ~ Closets are disorganized ~ Need to see the dentist/doctor 5 Examples of Emotional Clutter:
~ Unresolved conflict with a friend, family member, or co-worker ~ Hanging on to a relationships that needs to end ~ Regretting a commitment ~ Avoiding response to phone message, emails…..
~ Beating yourself up for something you judge as bad or wrong We create tons of emotional clutter with all of the stories we make up in our heads (worry, fear, anticipation…) that we tell ourselves is true!
5 Examples of Financial Clutter:
~ Tax returns are not filed ~ Spending more than income earned ~ Overdue bills and credit card debts ~ Will needs to be drawn or updated ~ Lack of financial systems - retirement planning, automatic savings plan…..
And by the way, non-action is an energy drain. Whatever we have hanging that we feel needs to be handled takes a portion of our energy every day just to push it away. Over time, it becomes exhausting to make like things aren’t there when they tug at our energy as constant reminders. Imagine walking around with a pebble in your shoe and trying to ignore it. Well, you are if you’ve got clutter!
And, if you are consciously working to manifest things in your life, what do you think you might be attracting or not attracting with all of your clutter????? If your life is so full of stuff, where is there room for anything new to come in?
Many people view March and April as a great time to do some cleaning up and clearing out.
Ready to free up some energy at your end?
Here’s your invitation:
Identify and eliminate your energy drains – what are you putting up with/tolerating? Make a list of things that are undone, incomplete, unresolved, broken, hanging around, being avoided….get the picture?
Consider what your top 5 energy drains might be. Areas might include marketing your business, a specific relationship, a current project, your computer, email…..
Each week, schedule time to tackle your list. Include things that can be handled quickly and chunk down some of the bigger projects into smaller tasks so you can make steady headway. Delegate and get help where you need it. Eliminating and managing your clutter will free up tons of energy to use in those areas that matter most to you. You might be surprised how much more vital, inspired and alive you feel when you lighten up!
