Clear Your Clutter to Transform Your Life

Most of us lead lives with too much clutter, too many obligations, too many activities, too much information, too many emails, text messages and voice mails, and way too much stuff.

When we wake up in the morning, we often feel like we’re already behind because we are so overwhelmed.

Whether you have jam-packed drawers or attics, cluttered closets, unwanted gifts you have been given by people you love, things you have been saving ‘just in case’ or for when your kids grow up, a basement of unfinished projects, or expensive, beautiful things that you no longer use, all of this stuff is no longer serving you.

You may break out in a cold sweat at the very thought of someone dropping in to visit…or maybe it takes you a stressful two weeks just to get ready for planned company.

And when you’re a small business owner or entrepreneur, you may also have clients that you don’t really like working with, piles of papers covering your desk, overflowing or disorganized filing cabinets, and lots of business building books, tools, and programs that you no longer use – all this stuff is no longer serving you, either.

And that’s because when something is no longer serving you and the person you are today (and the person you want to be tomorrow), it is actually holding you back from becoming that person. In that case, every single time, it is clutter (and for most people, it’s about 75% of what surrounds them.)

Your clutter is getting 

in the way of the life you want.


Most people have no idea of the far-reaching, negative effects clutter has in every area of their lives.

Your outer environment is a reflection of what's going on inside you, so when things are cluttered, messy, stressful, and overwhelming in your environment, you have a corresponding level of overwhelm and stress inside as well – which keeps you from living and being your best.

Clutter of all kinds – physical, relationships, time, mental, emotional, and spiritual clutter - affects not only your day-to-day life, but also directly and dramatically affects the success of your business and your work, your level of abundance in all areas, your health, your relationships, and your ability to be the kind of person you want to be in the world.

When you feel overwhelmed, burned out, have writers’ block, don’t feel creative, or are frustrated with your body or your finances or your relationships, some form of clutter is at the root of what’s going on.

In essence, your clutter is actually preventing you from being as successful, prosperous, happy, and fulfilled as you’d like.

Clearing out what no longer fits 

has a wonderful ripple effect in your life


Here’s the good news.

To achieve the kinds of results that will make you really happy in life doesn’t require working harder and harder, or doing more and more.

In fact, it’s just the opposite.

Letting go of what no longer serves you and setting limits on what you allow into your life is about having and doing less, while accomplishing and enjoying much more.

Clearing out what no longer fits has a wonderful ripple effect in your life.

In fact, clearing out your environment is one of the easiest, fastest ways of completely transforming your life. Denise Linn, author of Feng Shui for the Soul, says “clutter-clearing is modern-day alchemy.”

Here’s why.

The initial effects of clearing out the excess are fairly obvious, like giving you more time, a more peaceful, organized, and efficient home and office, and more enjoyment in your space.

However, clearing out what is no longer serving you is also like throwing a pebble into a pond…the ripple effects move outward farther and farther without any extra effort on your part.

You will have more energy. Most people think that clearing out their space will take a lot of energy, but the exact opposite happens. What I’ve seen is that as you let go of each thing that is no longer serving your life, your energy level goes up immediately and dramatically.

Imagine being connected to everything you own by tiny strings of energy. The more little strings of energy that are flowing out from you to your stuff, especially things that you no longer love or use regularly, the less energy is available for you. This includes things you might have in a storage unit, stored in your parents’ basement, or hidden away in your garage; just because it’s out of sight doesn’t mean it isn’t affecting your energy every single day.

You are literally ‘energetically’ dragging everything you own around with you all day long. So if you are often overwhelmed or tired or drained, you likely have a lot of stuff that is no longer serving you in your life and that’s where your energy is going.

You will also watch your creativity blow you away. When you let go of everything that is no longer adding value to your life and all that energy becomes available to you again, your mind has room to breathe and create…without you ‘working hard’ to be creative. In fact, you won’t be able to stop yourself from being creative!

And your abundance? It will go through the roof.

Every time you are willing to let go, to clear out what no longer fits, and to raise the standard of your environment, the rest of your life steps up to the plate as well and you create space for amazing opportunity, creativity, and serendipity.

In addition, as you handle the physical stuff around you, the bigger things that you may be wrestling with - such as growing your business or making more money or creating a more intimate relationship with your spouse - often start getting handled as well, often without much effort or intention on your part.

My intuitive, supportive, spiritual, and practical approach 

will show you how to let go 

of what no longer has a place in your life


You have probably already tried to handle your stuff and organize your life.

You may have purchased books, you may have read tips and hints in magazines, and you may have even hired a professional to come in and help you organize your space.

But what I’ve often seen is that the clutter just comes back, often immediately, and the root of the problem hasn’t been solved when someone else does the work without your involvement, or when you simply focus on the ‘stuff.’

Focusing only on the stuff and 'making it neat,' is not actually the point. When you focus solely on the stuff, you're not learning anything about yourself in the process; all you have learned to do is move some things around.  

Your clutter is simply an extension of what is going on inside of you. Without a clear understanding of what message your environment is sending you, how the excess got there in the first place, and without a clear way of making decisions about what you allow into your life moving forward, the excess will come right back and there will be little to no lasting change in your life.

So my intuitive, spiritual, and practical 5-step approach on clearing clutter will show you how to let go of what no longer has a place in your life and create powerful changes that last.

Step 1 – See your clutter as your ally



Step 2 – Look for what delights you



Step 3 – Clear your clutter



Step 4 – Trust the empty space



Step 5 – Polish everything around you



So while you start the process of clearing your clutter to have a clean desk, a delightful closet, and living and working environments that are efficient and organized, you will also discover a simple, powerful way to free an enormous amount of energy and creativity, allowing unexpected new opportunities and new possibilities to come into your life.
