Declutter, Maria Shaw And Will!
Before you ask, no I haven't called Will and I won't. If he and I made a soul agreement to meet as I intuitively know we have in this life - then we'll meet when we are supposed whether we call each other or not. But Will and I did have a nice telepathic encounter - that was fun -- and very interesting seeing I saw & felt what was going on in a spilt screen format.
No more stressing over Will, Bill, Ted, Matt or anything else that I figure out or meet. No more stressing to finish things. I'm steadfast in creating for myself as stress-less life. Meaning not stress free - because that's impossible - but less stress than I have now. And I stress by worrying and obsessing about that worry. My guides want me to get things done - but not by stressing me out, rather having me focus. They also want me to take a step back and chill. I have to find daily time to reflect and meditate. I know that I keep saying that I will - but I never do. It's a time thing. But if I look closer at it - it isn't really time but a focus thing. I have enough time to get everything done that I have to do - but I have to learn how to focus. By mediating, even if its only for 10 min a day, will help me get in focus - I do believe. Plus - I let me energy raising slip - bad Allie. So if I can train myself to do the energy raising in the morning and the meditation before I go to bed - it's a winner.
I'm also trying to ease back on the java. I love coffee - love it, love it, love it. But I drink at least a pot a day - sometimes 2 depending.
While I was going through my email this morning, I noticed an email from Overstock - free shipping. So I click on it and look around. I look around my office and decide -- I need a bigger bookcase (I DO have piles of books all over my office). As I was about to hit the last button to conform my sale - it dawned on me -- I shouldn't be getting a bookshelf to house more stuff - I should be getting rid of the stuff so that what I have fits! This little tid bit compliments, I'm sure. of the History of Stuff video. So I canceled my order and stared at my office. All of my books -- get rid of some of them? Oh God -- that sounds like a horrible thought! Then I considered the 10 years of Writer's Digest magazines I had stuffed in a bookshelf. Will I actually read them? I highly doubt it. They've been read once and I never even got the issues from the last 8 months (I did let this subscription run out). I would be able to put books in there. So then I would have to think what to do with what I still had -- take them down to the used bookstore for credit. Brilliant idea. Then I thought of my son's room that is a neat freak's worst nightmare. Time to go through that and either donate or take down to the used bookstore. After thinking about all this -- I came across this article:
Declutter Your Way to Peace and Beauty
By Annie B. Bond, author of Home Enlightenment (Rodale, 2005).
Practitioners of meditation have long known that spiritual growth leads to less clutter, but a new trend does it in reverse. People are now decluttering their way to spiritual growth! The end result from both processes is the same: Simplicity brought about by a yearning for peaceful beauty. Peaceful beauty! Such a place is not where you find old stuck energy that has ended in a confused mess! No wonder the No. 1 rule of feng shui is to remove clutter! Declutter your way to spiritual growth using Clutter Codes. Here's what they are, and how they help:
SIMPLE SOLUTION:
Decluttering your way to spiritual growth is about dealing with the issues of our lives that come up when dealing with the clutter. Are your mother's ashes on the mantle piece? Are you 50 years old and still have every test and paper from high school? Instead of seeing clutter as a meaningless mess, you can classify it and begin to understand its place in your life. Some clutter can stay, some must go. Coping with the meaning of the clutter provides spiritual healing.
Tag all of your clutter with one of the following Clutter Codes. I've given some examples for each one. Once you've coded your clutter, resolve clutter that falls in the "stagnant" code first.
Stagnant energy holds you back and festers. On the other end of the spectrum, "active" clutter can remain. Active energy is alive and vibrant!
Stagnant: Things that you can no longer use.A pile of magazines and catalogs that has been read or are no longer relevant and out of date. (You know you will never go back to them.)Clothes that no longer fit.Old vitamins and pills.Expired coupons.
Stuck: Things that you will probably not use.Papers, magazines, fliers that you think you might peruse but most likely will eventually become stagnant.Books you may or may not read, but probably won't.The high school papers, mentioned above.Broken items that you want to fix, but probably won't.Unfinished craft projects.
Waiting: Things you use very occasionally or seasonally.Holiday and seasonal decorations that aren't stored coherently.Seasonal clothing and sporting equipment that don't have an off-season home.
Active and Disorganized: Things that you use regularly, but not frequently.Clothes, papers, projects that are may be used within a few weeks but that are "homeless" in that they are not filed, processed or stored in a way that is out of the way. (This is more about "mess" than "clutter.")Kitchen appliances that you use only occasionally.
Active: Things that you actively useActivities of the day, or the next few days, that are in process.Things that you like easy access to for daily use—sunglasses, coats, schoolbags, etc.
And since I do not believe that things "just happen" I took this as a sign that I am definitely on the right track.
I'm going to go through and re-Feng Shui my house. I haven't done it since the ex moved and this too is long overdo.
But this weekend I am putting away Christmas decorations and working on DREAMERS. We're making head way. As soon as we're done, I can move forward to THE BLACK TRIANGLE:)
