Clutter creates stuck, stagnant, negative energy, which lingers in the atmosphere around you. You absorb this energy and it has a negative effect on your mind, body and emotions. It affects your life. Your energy levels, decision-making and health could all suffer. You could feel ‘stuck’ and going nowhere in your life.
clearing your clutter cleans up your body and life
It releases the stuck energy in your home, which in turn makes you feel lighter in body, mind and spirit. It helps you to clear out old, stuck feelings and emotions, negative past-history events and traumas, leaving you free to move on in your life with energy, enthusiasm and motivation.
clearing your clutter simplifies your life
By getting rid of what is not necessary or no longer working for you, you make things easier for yourself. You get down to the things that really matter to you. You have more time to enjoy what you really love doing, and you save time and money. It helps you think clearly again and find direction in life. It’s a way of getting yourself back in balance, improving your health and achieving that wonderful feeling of well-being which you used to have but seems to have disappeared.
clearing clutter is addictive
It has a wonderful knock-on effect that will make you feel healthier and more positive each day. It’s addictive, because it gives you such a feeling of freedom and well-being, that you’ll want to keep doing it – but what a wonderful addiction! This is when your life begins to change because you are no longer being held back.
what is clutter?
It’s stuff which has accumulated in your home or workplace and which hasn’t had your attention for some time. Clutter can also be unfinished business in your life, things that you never get around to doing.
Do you have:
♣ piles of magazines and newspapers waiting to be read?
♣ clothes you are keeping ‘just in case’?
♣ removal boxes still to be opened?
♣ drawers and cupboards overflowing with things?
♣ chipped crockery and ornaments?
♣ little piles of stuff in corners waiting to be sorted out?
♣ a garage stuffed with everything except the car?
♣ a bulging handbag or briefcase?
♣ unfinished business in your life?
where is your clutter?
Clutter comes in small, medium and large sizes and in various shapes and forms. It inhabits drawers, cupboards, wardrobes, floors, walls, ceilings, basements, attics, rooms, storage areas, houses, apartments, workplaces, gardens, sheds, cars, desks, pockets and bags. Clutter ranges from tiny pins and pieces of paper to large items of furniture and even people! It can be visible and invisible. It is not just what you can see. It is also what you can’t see that is hidden in any container, whether a tiny box or a large cupboard. Don’t think that if you can’t see it, it won’t affect you! If it occupies a part of your home, then it also affects a part of you and your life. In feng shui, different parts of the home relate to different parts of your body and life. For instance, iIf there is clutter in SouthWest of your home – your relationships area – then your relationships could be suffering or going nowhere.
clutter affects your health
Clutter can make you ill, mentally, emotionally and physically. As your body absorbs this stale energy, over a period of time, it will begin to affect every part of you. It can make you feel drained, tired, congested, confused and stuck in your life. A clogged-up body and mind can’t breathe, can’t move, can’t function properly, and can eventually become sick.
clutter makes you feel sluggish and congested
Your skin, hair and eyes will begin to look dull and your general appearance and behaviour will be slow and weighty. You could begin to get congestion-type health problems – colds, respiratory problems, overweight, constipation.
clutter drains your energy and makes you feel tired
It makes you feel heavy, weighed down, stifled, squashed, stuck in a rut, lethargic and lacking energy. This creates stress.
clutter compresses and depresses you
Real clutterholics risk becoming compressed and depressed. They can often be recognised by round shoulders, walking with their heads down, overweight, large tummies, hang-dog looks with frowns and scowls, frequently headachy and irritable. They look as though they are carrying their clutter on top of their heads. They often indulge in headache tablets, anti-depressants and everlasting diets.
clutter prevents clear thinking
You could start to lose concentration, become forgetful, feel overwhelmed with so many things to do and unable to see a way through.
getting healthy again
People usually don’t realise how their clutter was affecting them until they start sorting through it and disposing of it. Then they begin to realise what areas of their body, mind and life were being affected by it, because those parts start to function again.
