Declutter Your Life
According to the experts, January 21st
is officially the most miserable day of the
year. Christmas is already a dim and distant memory, the
weather's miserable and Summer feels a very long way off. In my
experience, there’s nothing more invigorating at this time of year
than to shake things up a bit and do some ‘Decluttering’. It feels
great – it will fill you with a renewed sense of energy – and it will
help you to move forward in your life. It does wonders for confidence,
too.
It’s no coincidence that the word
‘clutter’ derives from the French word ‘clotter’ – which means
‘coagulate’. Having too much clutter does tend to make you feel stuck;
it can stop you from moving ahead; it can keep thoughts and ideas from
flowing freely and it can definitely keep you stuck in the past.
Most people think of personal
possessions when they think of clutter – wardrobes bulging with
clothes you no longer wear; the spare room crammed full of all the
things you don’t use but don’t know what to do with; that drawer in
the kitchen – ditto.
But mental clutter can feel
overwhelming as well - unfinished projects; a crammed schedule; no
time for ourselves; too many demands on our time; relationships that
no longer serve us; needy, negative people who drain our energy.
In order to thoroughly Declutter Your
Life, and to make space for those things that are really important to
you, you need to pay attention to both of these areas. So if you’re
ready to get started, here are a few tips:
