Short Lived Clutter Clearing

I really enjoy the articles and videos on clearing clutter; so much that I am motivated to try again. I too experience some light and good feeling as if I am progressing toward getting things under control but then when other activities consume my time it seems everything gets cluttered again. I am researching good organizing techniques but it is important to have cooperation from family members. Most of the time when I explain that Feng Shui is important its like they don't understand what I am trying to tell them. Simple things like throw away your trash and pick up the dirty clothes.

Clutter Clearing Concept

Without going into many details, the bottom line is my life projects, craft projects, books, papers, doings, and readings...and some crap. So last night I was sitting here looking at it and feng shui popped into my head and I wondered who might have some ideas. So I read about mirrors cause I like them and have a number of them. I moved one. Moved a painting. Moved the chair and created a path of energy. Wow! It suddenly became clear that it works, and the clutter is not about my state of mind, though it has surely reflected the stuck energy I kept griping about and feeling awful. That's gone. Can't wait to do the rest.

I did read your article on clutter-free your area,and started to clean out all areas which I did not think would affect me.Though I am always cleaning the house,I did not know it is not good to keep things under the bed...

years of hoarding

living with manic depression and years of hoarding, i am reading your articles with wonder and a flicker of hope. maybe one day i'll live in an environment that does not keep me down. maybe one morning i'll open my eyes and see nothing but peace surrounding my bedroom. maybe one day i'll be able to have someone over for tea. maybe...

Clear the issues

I tried to help my parents with their clutter. It is so bad that if they had pets their home would be condemned by the health dept. They jumped on me when I dared to throw away some of their precious junk. Their collecting is tied to their self-esteem. I'm done trying to help them. They can live in the hell they've created.

Living Big in a Small Space

I've spent 10 years incorporating the principles from your first book, which gave me and my wife the courage to move into a 10'x10' cabin while we looked for land to build a house. We took it even further and created a line of furniture specifically for small space living. We have a floor lounge chair and stand up desk at www.bodyfriendlyfurniture.com I am linking to your site from my article which is located here www.bodyfriendlyfurniture.com/article7.html

Can not stop!!!

I read your clear your clutter book one month ago and I CAN NOT STOP CLEANING!!! I am so motivated to rid my home of junk and stuff that my husband thinks I am taking some drug. I have not explained your book to him but will when our home is exactly the way it used to be years ago when we first met. WOW! IT is truly a blessing! Although the one area in my life still that is still tragic I pray soon that relationship with my oldest daughter which is close to the point of no return will some day heal and we can begin a new life TOGETHER. Thank you very much!!! I can see my life so much clearer and look forward to finding more about how to heal with my 27 year old daughter. Thanks a bundle!

I am just going to start today on my office which I have just realised without knowing, we positioned in the right place in the Southwest part of the house.

It's Great!

We moved into a house that did not have a lot of storage space. So, I had no other choice. I had to clear the clutter. I parted with things I didn't like and is feels great!

It's hard

Clearing old clutter is the hardest thing to do, if not impossible! I have a big family, and no one seems to cooperate. Our house is so cluttered.... I take it little by little.
