Clear your mind by clearing the Clutter from your house.
By Arwa Atwan L Ac.
Most of us clean our homes regularly, but when was the last time you cleaned out your home's clutter Clutter can be anything from stacks of mail taking over your kitchen table to too many toiletries under your bathroom sink.
Many different physical signs can notify us that our emotional health is out of balance. The list is extensive and includes: aches and pains, bowel disorders, change in appetite, chest pain, constipation or diarrhea, dizziness, dry mouth, headaches and migraine, heart palpitations, heart disease, high blood pressure, insomnia, breathlessness, stiff neck, sweating, tiredness, upset stomach, weight gain or loss.
And most of these physical signs can get worse with clutter, and holding up to things we don’t want, this will add negative emotions to our body like fear, shame or worry and much more, if you lack confidence in pursuing a long-held dream, keeping your clutter can keep you from having to go out and actually do it.
Clutter Equals Stagnant Energy
Clutter Can Make You Feel Tired and Lethargic-energy sucker
Most people who have clutter say they can’t find the energy to begin to clear it. They constantly feel tired. But the stagnant energy that stacks up around clutter actually causes tiredness and lethargy. Clearing it frees up the energy in your home and releases new vitality in your body.
Clutter can keep you in the Past
when all your available space is filled with clutter, there is no room for anything new to come into your life. Your thoughts tend to dwell in the past, and you feel bogged down with problems that have dogged you for some time. Clearing your clutter allows you to begin to deal with your problems and move forward. You have to release the past to create a better tomorrow.
Clutter Can Affect Your Body Weight
a curious fact I have noticed over the years is that people who have lots of clutter in their homes are often overweight. I believe this is because both body fat and clutter are forms of self-protection. By building layers of fat or clutter around yourself, you hope to cushion yourself against the shocks of life, and particularly against emotions you have difficulty handling. It gives you the illusion of being able to control things and prevent them from affecting you too deeply. But this is an illusion.
Clutter can confuse you
when you live surrounded by clutter, it is impossible to have clarity about what you are doing in your life. When you clear it, you get fewer colds, you can think more clearly, and life decisions become easier. Being clear of clutter is one of the greatest aids I know to discovering and manifesting the life you want.
Clutter Can Affect the Way People Treat You
People treat you the way you treat yourself. So if you value yourself and look after yourself, people will treat you well. If you allow the junk to mount up around you, you may attract people who mistreat you in some way because subconsciously you will feel that it is what you deserve.
Having Clutter Can Make You Feel Ashamed
Perhaps you have reached the stage where your home is so cluttered and such a mess that you are ashamed to invite people over and positively panic if anyone turns up unannounced. You can live in lonely isolation with your junk, but wouldn’t you prefer to have a good clear-out, repair your self-esteem, and regenerate your social life with confidence.
Incomplete issues that suck up energy from your life have to be resolved. Maybe you had a fight with someone 2 years ago, and you still think of it.
Tips for clutter free stress free life
To avoid overwhelm, start in one small area, room or drawer. Create an "escape" plan by committing a limited amount of time to each clearing session. Even if you only spend 15 minutes a week, over time you will have moved mountains. The process will begin to energize you and once you get started, you may not want to stop! Be honest about what no longer serves you and be ruthless about clearing it out. Getting rid of it will be the last bit of energy it steals from you.
