End of Clutter
 
 

Many of you may not understand my talk of clutter, or have any idea of what it is to have a mind that is not cluttered, OR, what value this could mean to you.

Imagine you have just moved, and the movers put ALL of your belongings in ONE room, and YOU were stuck in the middle of that room, with all your belongings piled
high around you on all sides.

From your perspective in this position, you'd have a difficult time getting to the bathroom, answering the phone, or even getting out if the place caught fire.
Simply put, you'd have a hard time turning around, and to deal with how to get out, your question would be: Where to start?

Quite obviously, you'd start with whatever was smack dab in face, and at least clear a way to the door. On your way through this clutter, on your way to the door, you'd have many different views of the room, you may find some areas that aren't too cluttered at all, and others that are piled so tight and so high, that you didn't even know what was at the bottom. You'd also possibly not even recognize some of the things, especially seeing them from different angles, or with things piles on top of them. From the door you would have another complete different picture.

Upon beginning to get your house in order, you'd have many new discoveries. Many things would be put in their place, others wouldn't fit, others wouldn't look good, or wouldn't look right in the new surroundings, some things wouldn't match, others may have gotten damaged, or were already damaged. You would be tossing out many things, simply because they were no longer valid in your new home. You won't feel at home until everything was in its place, and that could take awhile, but you'd keep at it. Weeks later you'd STILL be looking at thing that were put in certain places, trying to decide if they looked RIGHT, or you'd be dealing with paintings hung on walls, not really sure if you liked them any more.

Clutter in your mind is the SAME. And, by the way, it is not uncommon for someone who has a cluttered mind, to ALSO have a cluttered home. But, as your mind is just FULL OF STUFF, you are unable to clearly see through it, you have no option of a different perspective, because you are always stuck in the same place, like in a too tight parking space, where you CAN'T get out. Dealing with your mind is the SAME as
the rooms above, begin with what is in front of your face, and BEGIN to inch out. It WILL take time, BUT, each thing dealt with WILL offer a widening horizon, you will become EXCITED or seemingly a SMALL step of progress, and that is WONDERFUL, and CELEBRATE!!

Then comes the hard (easy) part, DEALING with your cluttered mind. You must FIRST realize, NOTHING in your mind is nailed, glued, tied, stapled, riveted or SET in place, only YOU make it so. Comes the time, when all of you, who have all their life been wishing they could be happy and free, who have been hoping and praying for REAL peace of mind, to STEP FORWARD IF YOU ARE REALLY SERIOUS! You must now deal with all that is your mind, NOT ALL AT ONCE, but a bit, or BYTE at a time.

You need some time alone, relaxed and you MUST HAVE DECIDED that you WANT to be free. In this state, let your mind just wander, BUT, as things cross your mind,
you must be aware, in the NOW, and you need to REVALIDATE ALL that is you. Simply put, if something does NOT fit with your positive future, REGARDLESS what it is, it MUST be flushed, tossed, burned, trampled and gotten rid of - NOW AND FOREVER.

Dump negatives. Get rid of them. Open up that file in your head called Dirty Rotten Filthy Things People Have Done To Me and throw it away for good!! No peeking at it later on. This will ONLY be accomplished after you have DECIDED you WON'T settle for less than TOTAL FREEDOM.

You will find MAJOR breakthroughs reroute to happy.  You will find yourself getting so pumped and so excited at your discoveries and triumphs, you will be AMAZED at what took you so long!! You will notice MANY changes, and people wound you will notice the changes as you will begin to feel as you are walking on air, like the floatation of a cloud. You will realize you CAN that you ARE in charge, and you'll begin to giggle a lot!!

CELEBRATE LIFE

Comes a time, later, as your now uncluttered mind, is working miracles, as you are seeing everything so much different. You will see different perspectives of ALL in your life that you never knew existed, more giggle time. Comes the day, as your mind is floating free, you WILL DISCOVER that a fear you have will SUDDENLY realize, that whatever this fear is YOU HAVE BEEN already DOING what you were afraid you COULDN'T DO!!  You will SUDDENLY realize, that the FEAR, was left from a distant past, BUT, the REAL YOU, as you are NOW, has already gone beyond that fear!!  MAJOR CELEBRATION and many giggles!!

HAPPY MOVING DAY!!
