Chapter 1: Getting Started to Decluttering Your Mind

.1 Understanding Mental Clutter

It is easy to see the way clutter builds up in the real world, slowly but surely it can take over a shelf, a room, maybe even a whole home. Mental clutter is much the same, sticking in the corners of the mind and slowly building until it is difficult to get a single thought in edgewise that isnt part of the existing paths your mind has built to deal with the detritus.

In order to move forward with the process of decluttering your mind, you are going to need to clean out all of your mental clutter and start fresh. Whats more, dealing with mental clutter isnt something you will only have to do once after you have cleaned your mental house, you are going to need to learn to remain ever vigilant to ensure that it doesnt start building once more.

Mental clutter is the stuff that keeps us stuck in self-sabotage, suffering, struggle, stress, and separation. It is the stuff that makes life hard and complicated. It is the stuff that puts us at odds with everyone else.

Hidden where eyes cant see, mental clutter lurks wherever peace and love dont. As long as were cluttered, were resisting the flow and ease of life.

If you are not experiencing clarity, peace, and love, you have mental clutter. It lives exclusively and elusively in your thoughts. It starts as a head-fog, cloudy and misleading, and evolves into something much bigger.

Clutter composes the stories we tell about ourselves that cripple our potential and attack our well-being. It says we cant, we shouldnt and we wont. It gives cause for doubt and mistrust, leaving us feeling helpless in the world.

.2 Benefits of removing mental clutter

Removing the mental clutter that is blocking up your mind is essentially like removing individual layers from an onion. In this scenario, if you want to get at the truth of the way the world looks around you, and you havent cleaned out your mental clutter in a while, then that truth is covered in various layers of misinformation, beliefs (accurate and inaccurate) related thoughts and stories you tell yourself. Luckily, as long as you take the time to clear out your mind from time to time, the effects of mental clutter arent permanent.

If you have ever spent a prolonged period of time feeling more deeply connected to the universe and the people around you, then the good news is that you can feel that same sense of unity, love, and peace at all times, that was a moment when all of your mental clutter was cleared and you were free to operate at maximum efficiency.

Unfortunately, most people are far more focused on the state of their bodies than they are their minds. This focus on eating right and staying fit is compounded by the desire to work as much as possible, which in turn can make it difficult to find the time to exercise and eat right. This issue is then compounded by the needs of others that they want to help meet, their own needs that need to be met in order to keep the whole process moving and a million other little things fight for their time.
