The unsteady stack of useless items in our attic or garage is all we can think of when we talk of “clutter”. These are simply the things that we are not using any more because they don’t “spark joy” in our life and we move them out of your routine to make more space in home.
Let’s apply the same concept of clutter in our “inner life”. We hold on to these things because we are “like that” and “cannot let go of them”. They in turn block our energy and keep us stuck in different areas of life.
Some of these can be grudges, unprocessed emotions, constant worry, never ending to-do-list etc. By consciously addressing these clutters of our inner life while glorifying them or maybe, if needed, letting go of them leads to light, energetic and peaceful life. This can be as easy as creating a positive mantra to encounter painful thoughts, to be mindful, and to prioritize self-care.
