How Much Is Clutter Messing Up Your Life?

Some insights and tapping below on the surprising effects even a small amount of clutter can have…

Cathy here. I shared in a previous email how much Rick and Carol’s Clearing Clutter with EFT program helped me. How much I cleared out of my space, and how clutter free I’ve been. It’s been delightful!

And I’ve gotten used to having a clear, vibrationally inviting space to create, play, and relax in.

I’d actually forgotten how much even a small amount of clutter can distract, annoy, and sap energy.

I’m having some work done on my house, part of which required me to pull all the pictures from the walls and remove all the decorative things from shelves. Because of the rain Dallas is having, they won’t be able to finish up until next week.

Mind you, my house is organized and clean… but having the pictures stacked around, and my treasures piled on counters, I really notice how different my energy is. I don’t have the same easy focus, and when I try to relax, I feel “pinged” by the out of place things.

The problem with clutter is, it accumulates slowly. So we don’t always notice how much it distracts us and pulls at us until it’s gone.

You may not even be aware how much the disorder and no-longer-needed-stuff is pulling at you.

Try this simple visualization… Look around your space and notice how your energy feels. Is it quiet or noisy? Are you working at ignoring things or can you relax? Then close your eyes and imagine that your space was ordered and clutter free. How does your energy feel now? Is it more present and calm? More focused? Can you relax more?

Imagine how that difference could change your life over minutes, hours, days and years! Just a little bit more ease and less distraction can add years to your life and love in your heart to share!

Lets do some tapping on this!

Side of the Hand: Even though I’ve gotten good at ignoring my clutter, maybe it is time to clear it up and clean it out so I can raise my vibration.

Even though I have other things I need to do, and I say I have no time, the truth is, dragging all this stuff with me is a waste of time and energy, and I deserve to have a clutter free space!

Even though I think it has to be hard, what if it could be delightful and easy? And really fulfilling!

Top of the Head: How much is my clutter distracting me?
Eyebrow: How much more energy would I have if I cleared this out?
Side of the Eye: I would love to invite more energy.
Under the Eye: I would love my vibration to be inviting and abundant.
Under the Nose: That can be hard when you’re avoiding the mess…
Chin: Or so cluttered there isn’t room for more.
Collarbone: I’m afraid this will be hard.
Under the Arm: I’m afraid this will take too much time…

Top of the Head: What if it could be easy?
Eyebrow: What if I could relish clearing my space?
Side of the Eye: This could be an act of love for me and my family!
Under the Eye: And the Universe can support me and send me more abundance.
Under the Nose: I’m ready to let go of the noise.
Chin: I’m ready to let go of the clutter.
Collarbone: Once and for all!
Under the Arm: I’m ready to enjoy my home.
Top of the Head: And create a place of safety and joy!

Take a deep breath.

We really do want you to have a clear and lovely space to play, create, and love in. You deserve it!
