Clutter fills a void in your life: Clutter can help to hide loneliness, anger, fear, and other important emotions. It fills time and space and keeps you focused on things other than your problems. When you free yourself from clutter, you’ll free yourself to work on the real issues around you. It may be tough at first, but the rewards are infinite. Similarly, some people want to hide in their clutter. They use a “tsunami of stuff” to hide or shelter themselves from the real world. A good way to start getting back into the swing of life is to de-clutter just one room. You’ll still be able to return to your safe harbor, but the lack of clutter will begin to feel freeing rather than terrifying. Especially if you "find a friend"

Of course, you may not see yourself in any of the above scenarios. Maybe you’ve simply accumulated a little clutter in your life due to a lack of time, too many work or family demands, or a lack of organizing skills. This is perfectly normal. Not everyone who defines their life as “cluttered” will fit into the above scenarios. But for those who know that clutter is seriously affecting their lives, the above reasons may help define  why and allow them to start the de-cluttering process.

Whatever the reasons you’ve accumulated clutter, once you recognize them, you can move forward and begin your new life.

Come see us tomorrow and read about a prescription to stay de-cluttered.

Are you a clutterer? What is clutter?
