A Sure Way to Energize Your Life and Create New Opportunities
August, 2007
Did you know that the "stuff" that piles up in your home
actually blocks progress and prevents new
opportunities in your life? As Feng Shui masters have
known for centuries, clutter clogs energy in our homes
and in our lives. By clearing your clutter, you
take the first step towards becoming un-stuck any
area of your life!
Anything you don't really use, need or love is
clutter. That's right. You don't use it?
Love it? Really need it? It's clutter.
Commit to 30-60 minutes each week and
focus on one area at a time. If you pace
yourself, you are less likely to quit from feeling
overwhelmed.
Sort items into one of four areas: trash,
recycling, donations, or an organized area. If
you are dealing with clothes or an object which
you haven't used or enjoyed in a year, get rid of it!
Remind yourself that your unused object is blocking
energy in your life and could be useful to someone
else.
Accept your resistance and do it anyway.
Clearing clutter is a drag. Know that any
fatigue and
misery associated with this mundane activity will soon
transform into sheer delight and renewed energy.
Sometimes we resist because we are afraid of sad
feelings that might arise- such as organizing old
pictures. If difficult feelings do arise during clutter
clearing, accept them, and keep going.
Stop saving your stuff for a garage sale.
Unless you seriously need cash, it's not
worth keeping clutter for a future sale. Instead, donate
to charities and take the tax deduction. You will
simultaneously help others, receive financial reward
yourself, and free up life energy.
If you just can't find the time or energy to
declutter, hire a professional. Embrace
help when you need it. Try www.napo.net or a
local internet search to find a
professional in your area.
Decluttering maximizes the flow of positive energy into
your life. You open up space to embrace what is
waiting for you- be it a new client, a new job
opportunity, renewed energy to take care of yourself, or
the essential freedom to think clearly about your
needs and goals. The physical space you free up
creates mental and spiritual space for you to discover
and pursue your true path in life.
If your true path includes going back to work or
changing jobs, but you don't know how or what to do-
follow the tips in this ezine first. Create the space
for a
new opportunity. Then, send an email to bria@briacoach.com and I'll fill you in on
my exciting new
phone group- Uncovering Your Ideal Part-Time
Job!
