Ripe for Decluttering
🚯Happy Saturday morning.
DECLUTTERING is a motherhood statement no less. That explains why more often, we have given it the lip service it does not deserve. Moreover, all throughout in our lives, we [wrongly think and thought] of decluttering simply literally. In truth and in fact, every facet of our lives does deserve decluttering, starting off from everything in our minds, in our emotions and even in our [finite] memories. Can you believe that ?
And nothing is farther from the truth. In our lives, there are just one too many clutter spots and don't look far back. Pick your brain. What comes up on top? Those ill-fated events in our lives, those natural calamities, those force majeure which are and were way beyond our control. Those trials and tribulations that challenged us and we fell short. Those hurtful moments when emotions were hit hard by malicious, nasty, pernicious distressing insults and diatribes. Sounds familiar? But such is life.What's worst if of all these got stuck in our brain cells, in our finite memories because when that happens, you tend to live with it. Before you end up your day, you kept thinking of those hurtful moments. Trust me, when you wake up come next morning, those distressing moments will hover all over you. Thereafter, you go through that same vicious cycle, you clock-in, you clock-out but you seem to be carrying the same baggage, same burden day-in, day-out.So, let's pull by bull by it's horns. Why am I [vociferously] pitching you to declutter N-O-W ? Plain and simple, as this poster goes, 'decluttering will change your LIFE. WHY?
Primera - you have dumped off anything that's akin to rubbish.
Segunda - you erase whatever doesn't deserve slice of your time
Tercera - you reset anything in the past you can't alter or change
Cuarta - you refocus your energy and time only on the 'non crap'
Quinta - consider these 'low hanging fruits' immediately ripe for your taking: without those past fears and concerns, it reduces stress and leads to self-esteem. And remember in our digital lives now, you're aware that capacities are finite. Your laptop HDD. Your mobile phone capacity. Your USB. So is your mental space. So what to do next? Run 'disk cleanup' NOW as in NOW. Thereafter, run 'defrag' so that you can reclaim and reorganize the limited spaces you have which are likely fragmented.
Still on my sales pitch this morning. Don't look far. As To quote one of Bill Clinton's fav one-liners tagged with the acronym "KISS", 'keep it simple, shit'. No hard sell is needed here. Visually think of your decluttered life akin to this desk, neatly laid out, clearly spaced with every item at its proper spot and anything unwanted, you would never see at all. Visualize your daily life this way, simplified, rationalized, organized. But you might retort back, but not everything in life can be organized. Ummp, you're right and those uncertainties are reserved for the unknown variables, e.g. unexpected ill health, natural calamities, accidents, way beyond our control. And such is life. Leave the unknowns as is where is. Manage and control anything and everything that's going on now. Word of caution here: don't put off your decluttering of your life till next day, next week, next cycle. I'm afraid you might fail [again].😢
