Clearing out the Clutter

Journaling can help us clear our minds and set goals for ourselves. When we think of clearing out the clutter we may think of throwing out old clothes and shoes. We may also decide to throw that old rug out that just never looked quite right in our living room. Have you ever stopped to check in with your feelings after you have cleaned out your clutter? Do you breathe a little easier? Do you feel less weighed down? Do you feel more creative?

Last week I cleaned my desk. This may sound like a small job to some, however, the piles were mounting and mentally my thoughts followed suit. We have distractions that play for our attention everyday. These distractions can be small and others are well warranted. When you have a home office it never fails to become the bottom of the list in regards to priorities.

After spending a few uninterrupted hours of organizing, filing and throwing out, my desk was a simple masterpiece! A clean and open desk seemed to have it's mental effects. I was able to get twice the amount of work done and felt at peace doing it! This made me think further about all the other physical clutter we posses and for some reason hold onto. How does this change our mental day to day focus and concentration?

So take some time to think about the clutter in your life. What do you want to let go of and what do you want to create more of? Physically when we let go of stuff that no longer serves us, emotionally, we may feel the cleansing benefits!
