\"kickHelloooooo Tushkateers!<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

How are you on this fine mid-June day?\u00a0 I am well, and awake; even energized!\u00a0 I’ve been decluttering (again and again still), tossing like mad.\u00a0 Letting go of “stuff” and things; and the more I toss, the lighter and freer I feel.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

My windowsill is clear (again)–clear sailing for the eye to travel south and west along the skyline, which prompted me to invite the Universe in, about an hour ago.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“Hello, Universe,” I said,\u00a0 “The sill is clear, the air is clean; feel free to enter.\u00a0 Bring light, love, experiences of joy! Sustainable happiness, if you will; if you could be so kind.”\u00a0 And now, I wait…and wonder.\u00a0 What will happen “now” that would not have with “clutter” in its way?\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The last time I invited the Universe in, mysteriously the American Diabetes Association reached out and invited me to speak at their annual event, which I did, which was grand and much appreciated.\u00a0 That doesn’t mean that I expect the same or have a particular thing in mind; any miracle will do!\u00a0 I am open!!!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I’m just wondering, too, if you (yes, YOU!) realize just how much the clutter your home affects you.\u00a0\u00a0 It\u2019s only when we start to clear and organize our space that we begin to realize how much better it feels, both physically, mentally and emotionally.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Clutter = Tired and Lethargic<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n

When you clear your space (home, car, office \u2013 any physical space in which you spend a good deal of your time), without question the stagnant energy clears and a new strength and energy surges through your body.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Clutter = Stuck in the Past<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/h1>\n

When your physical environments are filled with clutter, there is no room for anything new to come into your life.\u00a0 Your thoughts tend to dwell in the past.\u00a0 You are “stuck” in the old problems, the ones that have dogged you for sometime.\u00a0 Clearing the clutter allows you to deal with the old problems and helps you to move forward.\u00a0 You must release the past to create a better tomorrow.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Clutter = Excess Body Weight<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/h1>\n

More often than not, when I mention clutter to a coaching clients, Tushkateers or workshop attendees, the bells and whistles begin to go off!\u00a0 There is most definitely a correlation between clutter and being overweight.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Both excess weight a.k.a. body fat and clutter are forms of self-protection. These layers of fat or clutter appear to cushion us from the emotional earthquakes and after shocks of life!\u00a0 The clutter appears to protect, but it does not!\u00a0 You have a false sense of being able to control things.\u00a0 It is an illusion.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Clutter = Shame and Isolation<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/h1>\n

Some of us have reached a point where our homes are so cluttered and such a mess that we are afraid and ashamed to invite people over.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Clutter = Confusion<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/h1>\n

When clutter exists, it is impossible to have clarity about what you are doing in your life. When you begin to clear your clutter, you will find that it is one of the greatest tools that allow you to discover and manifest the life you want.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
