INTRODUCTION
You just don't seem to get things tidied up, or you get things tidied up but they never stay that way? It seems that every time you make things nice and tidy, they get tidied up almost immediately? Why even bother with that?
Have you ever felt like this before? Of course, you have, we all have. Why bother with it at all, it just gets messy again - and that is the case. It happens to all of us.
The trick is not to tidy your place, the real trick is to keep it tidy. To maintain a tidy environment. The key word here is maintenance. Let's see what the dictionary has to say about the word perpetuation. It says, reason to carry on. So, we want to continue with the state of De-cluttering out.
There are different ways in which this can be achieved, but it all starts with a strong foundation. But unlike a building with solid concrete as a foundation, we will use ideas or beliefs or desires as a foundation. The only problem with these things is that, unlike solid concrete, they are ephemeral, fleeting and changing phenomena. You can have the greatest intentions today and completely clear out your house, but tomorrow you will have forgotten why De-cluttering out was so important and the mess will rebuild itself. Up and down like a roller coaster. That is because we do not have a foundation for the De-cluttering out that is as solid as it is concrete. We use fleeting wishes. They are here today and gone tomorrow.
So how do we get a solid foundation to "continue" the flawless state of the De-cluttering? I really hate to tell you this, because it's so easy you'll kick yourself in the butt if you don't think about it. Maybe you should guess before I tell you so you don't kick your ass. Have you made one or two guesses? Are you ready for me to tell you the obvious? Okay, ready or not, here it is. Make yourself a clean slate and use it as a solid foundation.
When you first took the trouble to clean your home, you had your own reasons. Quickly get a piece of paper and a pen (or better yet, use your computer), think back and record the reason(s) why you cleaned out your home, room or office. Do you have them? Can you see them? Good, now write them down. Do you have all your notes? Good, now look again and think of other reasons or wishes for De-cluttering out your apartment and write them down. Congratulations, this is your clean-up list. This is your solid foundation.
But wait, before you print this thing out and stick it on your wall, let me add a few more things to your list.
I have and maintain a tidy living environment because... by the way, write it as if you already have it, as in this example, as opposed to what I will or will have... Don't ask why, this is a story for another eBook, just do it like that and it will happen for you.
There are many benefits of De-cluttering out that you probably are not aware of, and these benefits must be added to your De-cluttering out list. Feng Shui claims that the following benefits are true, and they are even supported by solid evidence.
When you clean out your home, you get more energy, better health, you even earn more money, you are in control of your environment and not the other way around, you gain more self-confidence, you become more attractive not only to the opposite sex, but also to money, customers, clients, friends, abundance, etc., and yes, you even lose weight. Believe it or not, in fact almost every area of your life is affected if you maintain an undisturbed existence.
So you can put just about anything you want on your clean-up list, and you probably won't be wrong. A tidy existence is the basis for the rest of your life, and the basis for this is of course your list. So, your tidy list is pretty much the basis for everything. Are you laughing now? Well, I'm laughing too, but it's still true.
So make your De-cluttering out list and read it every day until you have and maintain (continue) a spotless, undisturbed, messy existence and then slow down your reading to once a month. When the mess starts to build up again, read your list again daily and keep the mess small.
CLEAR YOUR CLUTTER AND CLEAR YOUR MIND
De-cluttering out is such a popular idea that every year in October there is even a "De-cluttering out week". But often it is just that - an idea - and the thought of organizing our possessions and getting rid of everything we no longer need or want is often too daunting a task to know where to start.
But why do we all have so much confusion anyway? Well, in part, it's because we are a nation of buyers. Shopping, which used to be a necessity for items we needed, is now one of the nation's favorite pastimes. And the stores are so good at enticing us to buy that we often return home with things we don't really have room for. Add to this the instinctive human desire to hoard, and very soon our homes begin to fill up. Lofts and garages become extended storage spaces that we fill with items we often forget we even own.
WHAT IS DE-CLUTTERING OUT?
It is simply getting rid of everything we no longer need. Apart from seasonal clothing and seasonal items such as Christmas decorations or garden tools, anything that is not regularly used or displayed is potential clutter. Other exceptions are photographs, CDs/DVDs and books that are not frequently used or viewed, but are a collection of memories and cultural pleasures. De-cluttering out is not about throwing away our memories, but about throwing away everyday objects that are no longer useful. So if we know what our mess is, why is it so difficult to clean it up?
