Simplify: Clear the Clutter

Monday, July 5 & Tuesday, July 6, 2010

How does it happen? It sneaks up on us without us even knowing it. Clutter. Overwhelming amounts of stuff. While it happens little by little and tells the story of our lives, you don't realize what you've got till you pull it all down and put it in one spot. It weighs us down and creates that feeling of not knowing where to begin to put it all back together. Should you simply return everything to where it was before? Not thinking about it, just blindly going back as it all once was? Or do you use this time to look at it all rearrange it to make it work better? To readjust and remove what is no longer working as it once did. Change can be difficult and it can be so hard to let go of what once worked and still may, only doesn't meet our needs as it once did. But it is important every now and then to go through this process and cleanse the soul. Change does not have to happen all at once and sometimes we live with things for a while longer because we aren't sure where to put them or can't possibly let go just yet. And you know what? There is nothing wrong with that.
