This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. The Power of No is helping improve lives! Today, let’s say “no” to clutter. Clutter is your collection of things that lie around and cause your space to look untidy. I know that I can’t live or work in clutter! It actually zaps my energy and creativity. It’s time to get your desk organized, clear out your closet, get rid of the broken toys, obsolete papers that have been stacking up, discarded clothes you don’t wear anymore. But also, clear out the old resentments and unsatisfying relationships. Declutter your life by weeding out and pruning back that which doesn’t serve a purpose. When you feel overwhelmed or unhappy, look at your surroundings. Get organized. Freshen up your personal space. If you haven’t touched something for six months, it might be time to just get rid of it! If you need to, hire a professional organizer to assist you with the project! Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project writes, “In the scope of a happy life, a messy desk or an overstuffed coat closet is a trivial thing, yet I find – and I hear from other people that they agree – that getting rid of clutter gives a disproportionate boost to happiness.”
Move yourself into a season of positive growth by just saying no to clutter.
