Discover Uncluttering


Discover uncluttering.  I love the quote by Alexander Pope, "Order is heaven's first law." Clutter seems to be a constant battle. I know at times many of us have thrown our hands up and surrendered to its powerful pull. However, discovering a way to keep your clutter at bay might be just worth the effort. One of the best, but not always easiest ways, is just not to own too many possessions. If you stop bringing items in you have fewer to manage. If possible don't invest in storage containers, rather find a way to rehome items you no longer use. Things that are easy to replace, and are used infrequently might be a good place to start. Discover that when your environment has some order you might find that you feel more peaceful as well. Now this is all relative, and you need to discover what level of uncluttering that works for you. But you might just be surprised at the benefits of uncluttering.



Challenge: Choose one small area, like a drawer. Empty it completely, and go through each item. Only keep the things you really like. Record your feelings in your Discovery Journal. How did you feel during the process? How do you feel now looking at the uncluttered drawer?
