Saving animals and establishing humane laws takes money.  Therefore, I’m dedicating every Friday to Fiscal Fitness.

Clutter is often a sign of hoarding and a fear of letting go.  If we hold on to things from our past that we no longer enjoy we are blocking energy to create our new improved selves.  Since dealing with clutter can be physically and emotionally draining you may want to consider the following:Start small.  Set up a routine time each week to tackle clutter.  For example, you may want to set aside 7-8pm Tuesday night. 

Start with your smallest closet.  Remove everything and place back in it only the things you love and use.  Put the other stuff in a box to give away or take to a consignment shop.  (I never recommend having yard sales for two reasons.  First, your keeping your stuff in the house for that someday that may never come.  Then you have to deal with all that crap again.  It is too much work physically and emotionally.)

Hire professional help.  Having someone with you to guide you through the process can be extremely helpful.  They will keep you on track, help you through your emotions and may provide physical assistance or necessary referrals.Once you have cleared a space, you may be shocked to see all the new and good energy that is waiting to enter your life.
