Decluttering to Clear Your Mind

A cluttered house is a cluttered mind. It’s hard to think with piles of things sitting around in either place, taking up precious space. Taking a few minutes each day to keep the piles from being created; this can save you time and effort on another day.

These past few days, I’ve been attacking clutter head on. While I keep a mostly clean house, I find that some things and areas tend to pile up (things to file away are my weakness it seems, as are books on the coffee table and journals – oh, my!). Now I’m resolving myself to prevent the piles from rebuilding once I’ve broken them down. When I return home now, my house feels more welcoming and friendly.

Sorting things into 3 categories: what to keep, throw away and give away, I helped my daughter to clean her room this week. A bag of trash, a bag of clothes to give away and her room has transformed into a place where she wants to be.

This can be a perfect analogy for our minds. It’s easy to allow the clutter to fill our thoughts. Now to ask ourselves: what to keep and what to throw away? With our focused intention to change, we can begin to clear out the things that steal from us our power. The effort to change our minds is worthwhile, for who truly enjoys living in such clutter?

Writing out my thoughts has helped me to gain a new perspective of myself. In sharing these writings, it is my hope to help others to better understand themselves. It is my belief that with each of us who chooses this path of greater understanding of thy self, that it inspires others to do the same. This building momentum is the force that drives me to share, for in my vulnerability, I find my strength. I believe that you can also find yours there. ~~~In reading some of my posts, you will see that growth is not always pretty. It is in breaking apart and coming undone that a seed sprouts and breaks free of its own captivity. It is also out of mud that the lotus blossoms. ~~~Please join me in seeing the beauty of growth within the deconstruction of our limiting beliefs. ~~T.C. View more posts

I can absolutely relate to this Tiffany. An uncluttered mind allows for new possibilities to enter our lives. I’ve been doing a lot of decluttering in my home lately, and I’m feeling the effects. Great post my friend. xo

Interesting post! I think some people do like living in clutter. It’s part of their comfort zone, which includes not having to make decisions about what to keep and what to give up. Personally, I LOVE that feeling of having gotten rid of things I no longer use. The process, however? Not so much 😉
