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!

WHY JOURNAL?

For many of us that are balancing numerous priorities in life and find it challenging to slow down to re-focus, finding time to journal can make a world of difference in our every day life. Some people feel that journaling should be implemented when life really throws you a curve ball.

I do believe journaling is incredibly healing when we are going through some painful life lessons. We can actually deprive ourself from this amazing self-help tool and resist journaling when times are tough and emotional. This can be a very important time to put paper to ink and to acknowledge the deep feelings that we may be experiencing.

Journaling can also be used daily to help us de-clutter our mind so we can do all those things on our list! Taking time to slow our minds down to reflect upon our day can bring a sense of peace, no matter how crazy the day has been. Carving out a few minutes to do something healthy for ourselves often gets put aside and we can feel stress and "overloaded".

These few minutes spent on oneself can give us the opportunity to reflect upon the events that have taken place during our day. We become in tune with our feelings and thoughts. We basically check in with ourselves versus remaining on "auto drive".

All you need is a journal and a pen- making the time is up to you!
