Clutter

So excited for you to hear today's podcast episode! I spoke with Krista Lockwood about how she accidentally stumbled into decluttering and how it changed her life and improved her mental health and emotional well-being. This episode inspired me so much that after speaking with Krista, I ran around my house gathering things into garbage bags and piles. My home feels better already!

If the clutter in your home is stressing you out or causing you to feel overwhelmed or anxious then listen to today's episode because Krista gives tons of great tips on how to declutter and how to move past certain mindset blocks.

I need to get my front room in order. And I really need to start filing my paperwork properly.

I've lived in my one bedroom apartment for a year now and I've recently started in my new role at work that means I'm committed to staying in this city for at least another year. (Side note: I don't really want to be living in this city at all.) The thing is, I've moved so often in the past decade (between cities, regions, countries, and continents) that it's hard for me to properly settle down. I don't want to invest in nice furniture because it will be difficult to transport when I move again. I don't want to get super comfortable here because it isn't going to last. But I say all that as if someone else is determining my actions - it's actually all up to me if I stay or go.

I keep trying to break down the things to do into smaller tasks, but when I try to do something, I just end up sitting on the couch staring at the clutter instead. It feels overwhelming. Clutter is not great for my mental health, so I need to do something about this.

ooh, today I shredded 20 birthday and Xmas cards and pictures of dumb relative spawn and I feel swell. I also cleared a space for my Antonina who is not merely a feline but rather my spiritual advisor. I have more to shred mostly things that clutter but mean nothing.

Our lives are too filled with debris that we attach sentimental value to but are actually just taking up emotional space. Ask yourself why you hold onto mere trinkets you have infused with raw power that own you. Why do you let other people control you through all of the detritus they have left in your care?

It is not that difficult to rid yourself of even those things that once meant everything or at least seemed to. I had held on postcards, letters, art work, images of persons who betrayed our friendship in an exceedingly cold and unforgiving way. Theirs were the first to go into the shredder which created in me a reaction akin to a sexual response. Yes, I am turned on by the sound of my shredder turning all these false hopes into mulch.

Things we touch remember that touch and communicate with us whenever we discover them long after they have been shoved in a drawer in our mind. They will haunt us because of how dearly we once held them only to discard but not destroy them. If something loses its value you have no obligation to hold onto it because meaning lost can never exist in the same manner. All of that sentimental crap you are holding onto is holding you by the throat. #Life #mind #cleanmind #Clean #Clutter #strenghththroughjoy
