Clearing Physical, Mental & Emotional Clutter Reveals Hidden Abundance
When my husband and I moved into our home in southwest Minneapolis, one corner of our basement became home to a collection of about ten boxes for over a year. I can’t even tell you why. I guess our motivation just dwindled throughout the long process of unpacking. Each time I walked down the stairs to do some laundry or to feed my cats, I’d see all those boxes and just think, Ugh. We really need to take care of that stuff.
One rainy September day, 18 months after we moved in, we went downstairs, and in an afternoon, we just plowed through the task. We wound up donating or tossing about two-thirds of it. We hadn’t needed it for a year and half; we certainly didn’t need it then! Now that corner is clear. When I look over there, I notice the light pouring in the window. The physical space is clear — but so is the space in my head that was perpetually occupied whenever I looked at that unresolved pile of boxes.
