Remove Clutter from Your Life
To Connect to Your Inner Wellness

Copyright 2006 Justina Espenant www.LavenderCo.com

Are you living a complicated life that is cluttered by anxiety, or lack of energy?

Inner wellness is about simple focused living. I invite you to live a life that is in alignment with your natural self. You can do this by releasing the clutter that no longer serves you.

“You can’t bring the same stale self
to the world and
expect the world to be new for you.”
Deepak Chopra

Clear the clutter in your life and be ready for new opportunities to arrive at your doorstep! This may sound simple – but it works. For the past year, I have cleared and released layer upon layer of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual clutter. You can be sure there’s more. That’s why learning the skill of clearing clutter is so important.

As a speaker or trainer, do you review your material on a regular basis to see where you can make your points more concisely? Or, do you clutter your important message with excess words or stories that no longer serve the aim or purpose of your talk. Keep it simple. Did you know that the most profound communication can be achieved using only three word sentences? It’s so simple. Imagine three words. Clutter-free is great.

There are common challenges to living a complicated and cluttered life. For example clutter creates the following:

• Distractions
• Makes it difficult to find items when you need them
• Acts as a barrier to your inner wellness growth and development
• Traps stale energy
• Symbolizes your fear of releasing things that no longer serve you
• Reduces your availability or openness to receiving new opportunities
• Physical clutter is symbolic of your inner resistances
• Emotional clutter is about fear of connecting with your inner joy, peace and love
• Spiritual clutter is a cloak of illusion. Spiritual by definition is simple and clear.
• Mental clutter is a barrier to your inner authentic voice that whispers truths to you.
• Clutter is a habit, a way of life, a way of self-protection.

Keep only those things that are beautiful, useful or very memorable when you are clearing clutter. I recommend that you set-up a system for those things that you will donate, throw away, share with family and friends or re-locate to another place. Denise Linn recommends that you say and focus on the following affirmation while you clear your clutter:

“There is clarity within me
and around me”

I believe that everything happens at the right time and place. As such, clutter is not wrong. Even clutter has an organized reason for being in your life!! As you release your clutter, acknowledge and celebrate the free will that you have to make choices to move forward.

Recently, my basement flooded with a few mm of water. There was just enough water to soak up every cardboard box on the floor of my storage area. Ugh! It’s always the right time and place when things happen in my life, I just didn’t know what the “right” signified with this flood until later. So – after 10-12 hours of sorting, clearing, repacking, recycling and throwing out, I have now a completed a new layer of cleansing. Bring it on universe!

Clearing clutter in your life has the following benefits:

• Provides more space for refreshed thinking –like windshield wipers for the brain
• Infuses vibrant new energy
• You’ll find items more easily and effortlessly
• You will have more space to keep the things that matter most to you
• You will be able to move more freely in your life and home
• Creates a feeling of being refreshed, balanced and your surroundings will look organized
• Allows you to more easily prioritize and solutionize (a Justina-ism)
• Attracts greater abundance of positive energy to flow more freely through your life.

A full spectrum of clutter clearing can take years, months, or even weeks depending on the existing inner and outer clutter in your life. It is always an ongoing process. You have to start somewhere! Just do it.

Every step you take to clear clutter is a step to celebrate. You’ll find that each time you re-visit a previously cleared space for round two or three of clearing that many of the items will be easier to release. If it’s been in a box for 10 years – do you really need it? Is it really beautiful? Is it really memorable?

Some clutter is good thing - a sign that you are living. Like a house with children – who love to enjoy the feeling of having toys all around them. It is all about balance. Have fun with the process, be kind to yourself as you progress and know that you are moving forward in life toward simplicity and inner wellness. Clear the clutter in your life and be ready for new beginnings of joy and vitality.
