Junk in your Trunk

How cluttered is your external world? Our external worlds are often a reflection of our internal worlds. You tend to see those who are skating by struggling to improve their lives in one or many ways will exhibit cluttered, overstimulated environments.

Think about how it feels when your in another’s space that is over cluttered and messy, someones house, office or car how do you feel? You feel uncomfortable, nervous and not relaxed. Now on the opposite end how do you feel when you walk into a hotel room and it has minimal stimulation and zero clutter? You feel a sense of “Ahhh…”, calm and relaxed able to just be without external stimulus pressuring you to get up and work.

Our closet (getting ready), trunk (time in transit) and desk (often more than 8 hours daily) reflect how well we are coping inside with our lives. For some it may be all three areas are in disarray and need a clean sweep.

This is simple to do, take one large bag, box or rubbermaid tub and put all the things in it and purge a little at a time. Don’t overwhelm yourself by having to clean it all in one session. Give yourself one place to clean and not many so its a simple task. If you haven’t touched in in 6 months, put it in the bag. Then let it go.

We have become a culture of have, have, have… get, get, get… more, more, more and it only makes us feel overwhelmed. When we actually feel better when we have less.

Purging your external allows for the internal to begin to purge as well. It’s easier to let go of the old emotions and memories when you don’t have external stuff holding on to the energy. This lightens your load and you begin to feel less overwhelmed and lighter. Giving you a new sense of strength and a more relaxed state.

Start today, clean the junk and watch your life improve.
