How to get in touch with Peter:
Gems:
“I’ve discovered over nearly 20 years of doing this that we are all human and all in the same boat. We all go off the rails occasionally!”
“At the end of the day, you are stronger than your stuff.”
“Stuff is associated with happiness. People buy things thinking that they are buying happiness but they are really buying a shadow of happiness. Instead of buying a product, we are buying a promise.”
“What is the vision you have from the life you want? Does the stuff you own help you get what you want from this room?”
“If you don’t respect your space, if you overload it, it’s the same as dishonoring as person, you are dishonoring your space. You will never be happy in that space.”
“Stuff is a distraction. Issues around clutter are about loss and trauma and neglect and abandonment.”
“The issue is really, ‘How do I deal with the fear and the anxiety we are all facing at the moment.’ And, people are looking to organizing as a way of feeling some control.”
