CLUTTER CLEARING IS A
POWERFUL TOOL: DOES
IT SPARK JOY?
Written by Elita Purcill
Have you been thinking about clearing space in
your home but are feeling overwhelmed by the
very thought? Do you see it as a tiresome
chore? Perhaps things have stacked up and
seem to have no place in the home and the
energy has become stagnant. This can affect our
consciousness and state of being.
But did you know that the art of clutter-clearing
can be a celebration - a special send of for
things that will be departing from the house.
There is an opportunity to learn from all things
in your life, including the things you discard.
Clutter-clearing changes the energy of your
home and can bring about corresponding
changes in your consciousness too. Clutter, by its
very definition is unconscious. It may consist of
things not dealt with, hidden away in cupboards
and in the closets of our minds. It requires a
conscious decision to break through to what is
hidden. Tackling it requires a conscious decision
to break through the sleepy layers to confront it
and move on to open up to more energetic
space.
As Carl Jung so famously said: 'Until you make
the unconscious, conscious, it will direct your life
and you will call it fate'
Why Tidy?
of clutter-clearing is so that you can live the life
you want and clear the energy to bring more joy
into your life in a multitude of ways. When you
reassess your belongings and organize your home,
you set the stage for a huge transformation. This
is the magic of clutter-clearing!
Before you Begin.
The first step is to imagine your ideal lifestyle. If
you are serious about tidying up in a way that will
change your life forever, this is a most important
step.
Clarifying why you want to tidy and what sort of
life you want to lead when you are done. What
will your day look like? Who will you surround
yourself with? What are your emotional and
mental states? These are the types of questions to
ponder at the beginning of the tidying festival.
Clutter-clearing is a powerful tool. The main goal
Tidying by Category.
Going through room to room makes it hard to
truly comprehend what you own and will
inevitably lead to a rebound. The order in which
you tidy is the secret. By starting with the easiest
category you hone your decision-making skills and
clarify what sparks joy. Do you feel joy, a feeling
in your body, or not. This is important. Your
intuition and inner self knows and will
communicate to you.
