(excerpt from "Energy
Addict", Perigee 2004)
Do you have new project that needs to get done? Perhaps
it's a new proposal for a client or the first chapter of the
book you have always wanted to write. Maybe it's a new song
that has been floating in your head or a new business plan for
your new business. If there is something that you need to do,
but it's not getting done, one of the first places to start is
to clear out the clutter around you and inside you. Clutter
can block precious new energy from flowing into your life by
filling up your world with old stagnant energy that loves to
build up and stay right where it is. Clutter in your life
might include a messy house, a pile of papers on your desk,
mail spread out all over the counter, a closet filled with old
clothes you never wear or old salad dressings in your
refrigerator. Whether you attack that to-do list, go through
your piles of paper, clean up your desk, or throw out the
trash in your car, you'll clear the physical energy around you
and allow new energy to flow in. This makes you simply feel
better. It's an energy thing. We are energy beings and when we
free up old stagnant energy around our space we feel more
lively and energized.
The same goes for mental clutter. When you get rid of toxic
thoughts, toxic people and toxic beliefs in your life you
eliminate the energetic clutter that holds you back. Where
acupuncture helps eliminate the energy blockages in our body
and enables a healthy flow of energy throughout our body, we
have to apply a form of mental acupuncture to free up the
energetic clutter in our life. Replace beliefs such as "bad
things always happen to me" with "I accept all the great
things in my life." Replace thoughts like "I hate the rain" to
"I love the rain because it brings us water and life." This is
one that I have worked on a lot. And to the people who are
always being negative to you and filling your life with
negative clutter, ask them to change. Try to help them change.
If they are unwilling you just might have to let them off your
bus.
This is your life and you deserve to clear the clutter
whenever you feel your energy suffering. Once you clear your
clutter you will feel more energized and alive. You will have
new energy to start your project and create new success in
your life. Try it and you'll feel the difference.
Action Steps
1. Pick one space in your house and/or office that is
cluttered. Organize it and throw out the clutter. Observe how
you feel when you are finished.
2. Identify one toxic thought or belief in your life and
let go of the clutter. Feel how your energy increases.
3. Read the books "Clear Your Cutter with Feng Shui" by
Karen Kingston and "Feng Shui Your Life" by Jayme Barrett.
