Another good reason to declutter….

I believe that if you want something in your life, there has to be space for it.  Of course, there has to be physical space for it, but there also has to be space in your schedule and space in your mind and your heart for it.  I’m realizing this on a number of levels right now.

For example, I’m working to start a new business: Life’s Learning. I’m creating a physical space for the business in my office by clearing off shelves and a desk. I’m also shredding and recycling paper from projects that are finished so they don’t take time, energy and space away from this new focus. I’m clearing space in my schedule by setting aside time for my business and making decisions about which activities in my life are most important. But, just as importantly, I’m making a space in my heart and my mind by letting go off ideas about myself that aren’t conducive to starting my business, and by opening myself up to new experiences and opportunities.  I think the process of clearing a physical space can help me to symbolically clear the space in my life.  In the same way that cleaning and organizing my physical space can help to me to clean and organize my thoughts and feelings.
