007 Simplifying Clutter

12m · Declutter for CHANGE · 08 May 15:00

"Clutter isn't just stuff on your floor, it's anything that gets between you and the life that you want to be living.

- Peter Walsh

In order to figure out what IS clutter in your life, you need to decide what you want your life/ business/ etc. to look like long-term. Once you figure out what you DO want, everything else that doesn't match with your desires is considered clutter. 

Areas to look at include:

* your home

* your business

* relationships

* your body

* spirituality

* your thoughts and emotions

* etc.

Clearing out the clutter isn't going to be an overnight accomplishment. It took a while for it to get into your life, so you need to understand that it's going to take some time and consistency to clear it out. And it's something that you will need to do again and again over the years as things change.
