Find some part of your home that has become a mess. Maybe you are like me and you scrape the contents of your desk into drawers until they are overflowing. Perhaps you have a closet that has taken on a life of its own. How is the garage or storage space? What is going on in your checkbook? Dare you peek in the attic or cellar? Before you do anything about the mess you find, take time to contemplate it. Sit in front of the clutter and ask yourself how this happened. What part did you play in allowing clutter to take over? Was there fear? Anger? Was there sadness underneath it all? Take time to fully examine your feelings. Now take time to explore how you might feel right now facing the prospect of clearing away the clutter. You might take time to commit your feelings and thoughts to paper. That process in itself clears away some mental clutter.
Now go through the physical mess. Clear away things that have no use to you any more. Why are you still holding onto these things? Find at least three things in this clutter that have some value, but that you do not use regularly. These are things that you should give away. After you have straightened out the mess, take time to stand back and admire your work. What effect did clearing away the clutter have on your mind and spirit? Almost everyone can notice a difference in energy before and after cleaning a space. Explore your experience now.
