Clarity – clear the clutter

Clarity – clear the clutter

21-27 January 2019

Finding clarity requires clearing the clutter. Sometimes you need to clear the clutter of your mind and get rid of beliefs that do not serve you like putting off until tomorrow what you can do today. It does not matter whether it is New Year, it does not matter whether it is springtime when you may feel the urge for spring-cleaning. Regardless of what time of year it is now is the time to clear the clutter because today is the first day of the rest of your life.

What is popular throughout the world at the moment is the Marie Kondo ‘KonMari’ method of decluttering. When we declutter our physical goods the added bonus is the mental clarity that comes with it. What is important is maintaining your clutter-free environment – both physically and mentally and then discovering the other added benefits that come with it.

Although I haven’t read Marie’s books – yet – I have watched some YouTube clips that have encouraged me to clear some of my clutter and it does feel good. I am now eager to clear more clutter and have put some strategies in place to assist me to get there quicker.

Are there areas in your life that you want to declutter? What area or areas in your life do you want to find clarity on? Day by day your life changes, things happen that change your priorities and increase your understanding of numerous topics.

What do you want to be clearer in your life at the moment? What do you need to do to find that clarity and clear the clutter? Finding clarity helps you discover your purpose for the day, find your clarity, clear the clutter then take the next step.

“It’s a lack of clarity that creates chaos and frustration. Those emotions are poison to any living goal.” – Steve Maraboli

How to practice the ‘Character Of The Week’ (5 mins a day max.):

  • Every morning: 1) Read the card; 2) Reflect on what the card is saying to you right now; 3) Have a great day by trusting that this characteristic will come to mind at the right time during your day
  • Every evening: 1) Reflect whether, when and how you strengthened this characteristic today; 2) if you did strengthen it be proud of who you are; if you didn’t strengthen that characteristic what would do differently next time if you got the opportunity.
  • Life is all about living and learning – and taking action – enjoy!
