De-Clutter Your Life

Our home is our castle. Our home is an extension of our own character. The state we keep our own living area reflects on our personalities.

Some people are so organized they label their boxes, color code their clothes and place everything symmetrically. What could this tell you of someone's character ?

Probably they are the type to get to work on time. Make plans and like to stick to them. Keep track of their accounts. These people I call the PERFECTIONISTS.

The good thing about them is that they like to do everything properly. They like a job well done.

The downfall is that some of them do not take feedback well, they know it all.

Then their are those who I call the SOMETIMES people. They like to keep their places clean. Sometimes they feel the need to have a break. Their place can become a mess, but thats ok, cause once the dishes are looking like the tower of pisa, they will take their time to do them.

These people like listening to other people. They get excited about new challenges or goals.

The downfall is, a job done, could be a job half done. They need constant pushing to achieve results.

Then their are the WHATEVER people. Whatever happens will not make a difference. As long as we breathe fresh air that's fine. They are at peace with themselves. Never break a sweat.

The downfall is, life just passes by them, and before they know it, they are far away from their dreams.

We all pretty much fit into one of these three types or share some common elements with each one. Each one of us however is different. We are all original. We all have our own traits. We need to find the elements that will make us stronger and work on them.

One thing we could all benefit from is to De-clutter our lives. When I say this I mean, let go of the useless, keep the needy and make space for the new.

Whenever I get the chance to sit and watch TV, the programs that interest me are those makeover shows, that either change the image or mindset of an individual or those programs that change the living environment or habitat of someone.

Some of these transformations are just incredible.

Since at least one fourth of your time is spent in your own castle, you should consider organizing it, so it's fit for a king or queen (Thats You).

As the years pass by we accumulate so many things. We keep anything and everything. When this question pops up "Should I keep it ? We tell ourselves "Yes of course, maybe my children will want it in the future.....

We find it hard to let go.

What is the best solution ?

I believe less is more.

Why ?

Suddenly everything you have will have more meaning.

Have you ever asked yourself this question ?

If my house was on fire and only three things would be saved, what would they be ?

I would'nt go and grab the skateboard I rode when I was a kid...

No !!! I'd take something that would have that special meaning. Something dear to me.

for my past, I would take - My photos
for the present, I would take - My computer
for the future, I would take - My synthesizer( for music production).

When your place is clutter free, you will be able to relax and de-stress yourselves from a days work. You will be able to smile and laugh. You will be able to unwind.

If your castle is not fit for you, take a full day off and dedicate this day to your personal living environment. Have fun. Get dirty. Let loose. Play some good music. Have a drink.

At the end of the day you will feel a whole lot better. You will be smiling.

Take the time and ask yourself, if I could take more things with me when the castle is burning, what would I take and why would I take it?

If you are honest with yourself, your home will be void of unneeded stuff. and would look Clutter free.

BE CREATIVE - BRING FUN INTO THE GAME

Heck you could even organize a garage sale or join a car boot sale.

This could be a fun day out too. Go with your partner or invite a friend. Make some sandwiches and drinks. Become a good salesman. Meet new people. Have a laugh.

Once the day is over :

a) You could use the money to buy something that has been on your wants list

b) donate the money to your favorite charity

The point of this message is to let go of unneeded baggage, keep what is close to you and look forward to what the future will bring.

If you feel you are already in this living state, yet for some reason, your home is not in tune with yourselves. I suggest you read a book about Feng Shui. This will give you an understanding of energies and a deeper understanding of the main elements.

De-Clutter your lives, let your energies be stronger and smoother.

Enjoy living in your personal space. This is very important. If you are not happy at home, do something about it. Home is where you live. Home is the one place you need to feel good in.

Light some candles, burn some incense, play some music, feel the energy, feed your castle with love.

Life will have a whole new meaning. That's a promise.

I hope you got INSPIREd to take that challenge and de-clutter your lives. If you have any topics you would like to discuss or any feedback or suggestions, please feel free to message me.

On this positive note. I would like to thank you all for the strong support and feedback you have been giving me. I love to write. I love to share whatever I learn or discover. Life is absolutely great. Every day just gets better and better.

Keep Well
Always
