Professional clutter clearing involves purifying and cleansing the "chi" of a building or room to enhance the quality of energy in that space. It works by assessing everything in your environment based on the practical purposes they serve. If it makes you function better, feel good and actually contributes to the quality of your life, it stays. Everything else must go, and don't be afraid to be ruthless.
You can't avoid clutter but start by only having items around you that you consciously want to have there. Anything new needs a proper place – or it has no place in your space.

| Oh boy, did I identify with that first paragraph of yours! Mine is not the neat concertina file or the family size lock up box, nor even one room with everything shoved in and out of site! My clutter is doing exactly as you said - causing me to feel pangs of conscience for not filing for example, and the clutter really does sap energy and rot your life with negative vibes! Just like a basketful of ironing from which one whisks a t-shirt leaving the rest to glare at you in deafening 'iron me or else' silence. Well that last I have got around, and very nicely I think - I have decluttered my life in respect of ironing. I do not buy anything that requires ironing and everything comes off the line, straight onto a hanger and onto a long hanging rail! Ahh, Bliss! What peace of mind there is in knowing that there is no ironing lurking furtively, waiting to accuse me when I open the hall cupboard. Now, if only I could do something similar with all my paperwork, old papers, files, old uncle Tom Cobley and all... but wait! I have started on that, haven't I? Don't I already bank online? Of course, but I still get a paper statement once a month. Isn't my car payment taken directly from my bank account? Well, how about the clever Standard Bank linking my Stannic account online so that I can see at a glance what my status is there too? Why do I ask for receipts everywhere I go? Don't I trust anyone? You see! Definite signs of sweating the small stuff. I need to declutter! Unfortunately some of us are just like that. I bet if I lived in a cave I would have clutter. Heaps of special shaped bones just in case I needed them one day, or skins stacked up against the walls all over the place, or even... well you get my drift I would guess. Heh heh. | ||
