What does my comfort space is cluttered mean? For instance, my happy place is filled with so many unfinished projects and some pieces are left in one room and other pieces are left in another room. If you have one piece of a project in your resting place, do you look at it before laying down? If so, chances are you are going to think about that piece, the project you started, where the other pieces are and so on.

Now, you have just stressed yourself out and your blood pressure is rising. As a result, you reminded yourself about the project you never completed and it’s on your mind as you are trying to close your eyes and sleep. In addition, you start thinking about the pieces you still need to purchase to complete the project. The ripple effect has started and you are now stressing out about the money you need to purchase the additional pieces.

When your comfort space is full of clutter

It is hard to get the rest you need when your comfort space is full of clutter. Such as, when you don’t get the rest you need you feel exhausted as if you haven’t even slept. Is their a link to not sleeping well and a cluttered sleeping area? Clearly, I always feel so stress free whenever I travel for vacation.

Simultaneously, I get much needed rest and have so much more energy when I travel for vacation. Obviously, I have more energy because my body got the rest that it needed. Again, why am I able to get the rest that I need on vacation but not at home? I have really thought about this situation. I am trying to figure out if their is something at my house or resting place that is making me not get the rest I need. Since my hotel room or resting place is clutter free when I go on vacation, I have nothing to worry and stress about. In conclusion, I believe my comfort space at home is cluttered.

Simply get rid of the clutter

• Is it broken?
• Do you need it?
• Is it of any use?
• Do I want it?
• Will it still fit? (clothes, shoes, styles, etc.)

I thought it would be simple to get rid of things. The joke was on me. Sometimes we can struggle with making the decision to get rid of things we don’t need.

Reasons for staying cluttered

What is the real reason for staying cluttered and keeping something that is broken? Specifically, have you ever put something aside and said “I’ll fix it” and then that turned into, I’ll fix it later to pushing it off to the side and a few years later it’s still not fixed. Exactly and it happens to the best of us. Don’t let that get you down. You are not alone. When doing my research,by asking others what they do in this situation, I learned that when we keep broken things in our home or comfort space it gives off negative energy. Do I completely believe that theory? I am not sure, but I’ll test it out. It is a reason to motivate me to get rid of things that are broken and it will help to work on the clutter in my comfort space.

Breaking into the Clutter

Breaking into the clutter is like going down the rabbit hole. As in illustration, I’m taking a few minutes here and there, sometimes daily or every other day, I’m feeling good, going through the clutter in my comfort space and getting rid of things. Now, my mind starts racing and my heart starts pounding. Since I am feeling good and I have a rhythm going, I tell myself that I got this, I can do more. Again, this is only the beginning of the beginning. Now, I start opening closets, cupboards, the pantry and drawers. Can you say overwhelming? I told myself that I need to close them. Specifically, I’m not ready to take on these next projects of cleaning the clutter in my comfort space.

Clutter is so complicated

The goal is to make space not take up the space. Why is this so complicated? Now, I’m trying to figure out what goes where and organize every space in the house. At this point, I really feel this is going to take me a long time and now their is crap all over the place and it looks like a tornado came thru. As a result, I feel like it doesn’t even look like I did anything. In conclusion, I am back to feeling stressed and overwhelmed.

It’s time to take a break from the clutter

They say things don’t happen over night and “Rome wasn’t built in a day” so it may be time to take a break from the clutter project. Clearly, I need to give myself a pat on the back for getting the process started. Furthermore, if I do a little cleaning here and there, I will start to see the results of my efforts. Now, that I’ve spent the first few hours of my day getting rid of shoes (my shoes, kids shoes and hubby’s shoes), I feel better about accomplishing the task of the day. As a result of my efforts, I was able to put a bag together for good will and I organized the space in our closets. One small task completed and a little more space to work with. One day at a time.
