This is the second chapter from Brooks' audiobook, "Clutter Busting: Letting Go of What's Holding You Back". Brooks serves as the narrator and talks about how hard it is for the heart to live with clutter. He shares about how everyone is taught to live with clutter, but that when we begin to notice what no longer serves us and let it go, we take back our lives.

Transcript

Freeing your heart.

Wow.

You certainly have a lot of things.

Maybe these items seemed exciting in the store or on TV,

But once you brought them home and tossed them into a pile with all the other crap you've already amassed,

You suddenly find yourself buried alive.

Your job is to recognize that you're still alive under all that stuff.

You can stand up.

Being in a positive direction is a way of knocking down walls.

This is about breaking free,

About breathing again.

I'll help you decide what is important in your life.

Your powers of discrimination will return.

Society and others tend to dictate what should be important in your life.

That's why you have so much clutter.

There are so many conflicting opinions bombarding you every day.

So many things you think you need to keep,

Depending on whom you ask.

Imagine the space this excessive information takes up on your heart's hard drive.

No wonder you keep crashing.

Now you get to decide what really matters to you.

Clutter-busting frees up your heart.

Imagine the powerful energy that lies in store once you start making up your own mind.

Other people's opinions of your life don't matter.

What matters is that you care about your life.

Human beings are brought up to fit in.

It can be difficult to speak up at times.

You don't want to upset the balance.

But remember,

It helps to know that people love to be distracted by your life.

It allows them to avoid taking care of their own.

Only what you feel is important.

You are the expert on your life.

It's time to live comfortably amid the things that matter to you.

A short talk with great perspective on our relationship to things a ND reassessing what matters. Aligns with Marie Kondo method and the internal benefits of clearing our physical space of what no longer serves us.
