Hi,
This is Brooks,
And I haven't made one of these in a while.
It's probably been months.
But here I am.
Here I am.
Excuse me.
I'm sitting in my kitchen,
And you know what?
I thought I'd let you know I'm not clutter busting anymore.
I quit.
After 22 years of helping people that go clutter,
I retired.
I broke up with clutter busting.
And it feels really good.
I think it was a long time coming.
I wasn't really getting clients anymore,
And I kept feeling like I should be doing something with it all.
Like writing blog posts or making videos,
Even making audio recordings about how to let go of clutter.
It was basically like I was done with the job,
But I hadn't really accepted it yet.
The universe was saying,
All right,
You're not a clutter buster anymore.
But I really didn't want to see that.
I think there was a part of me that was attached to the idea of being a clutter buster.
It was exciting for a while,
And I helped a lot of people.
But then things change.
Nothing ever stays the same.
And so I think I really identified as that person.
I am the clutter buster.
I help people.
And so I just felt like whenever I thought about it,
I would just get really tired.
But I'd think,
Oh,
No,
I shouldn't be tired.
I should keep doing it.
Anyway,
It finally really kicked in,
And I thought,
All right,
I got to retire.
So I wrote a blog post about it on my website that was going to be the last post.
And I just thanked everybody for their love and support over the years.
And then basically let go of the website.
Because I knew if I left the website up,
I'd still want to write posts.
I'd still think of myself as the clutter buster,
Which was clutter for me.
It's clutter.
So I had a friend of mine who's a web person redirect the.
.
.
If anybody went to clutterbustin.
Com,
I would go to my insight timer page.
And I felt tremendous relief after that.
The night that the redirect was put up there,
I didn't know what was happening that night.
I didn't know that my friend was going to do it that night.
So when I woke up in the morning,
I felt so good.
I felt like I'd slept for 2,
000 years.
That was the thought in my head.
Oh my God,
I've slept 2,
000 years.
I felt completely restored.
It was just an incredible feeling.
And then I went to the website to see what was going on,
And I saw that it took me to insight timer.
I was like,
Oh,
Thank God.
And that was about a week ago,
I think.
And every now and then I'll get this feeling like,
Oh,
Maybe there's somebody out there who really needs my help or something.
What are they going to do?
Oh my God.
Which is like just me coming down off of the whole thing.
And that makes sense.
Just little,
Still little parts of me that still are attached,
And those will fall away over time.
So I don't really know what's next.
I don't have any plans.
I didn't even know I was going to make this recording until this morning.
And I was like,
What are you doing?
Why are you making this recording?
Remember you're not the clutterbuster anymore?
But I don't feel like I'm making this recording as the clutterbuster.
I'm feeling,
In some ways it helps me let go of the whole situation.
Even more.
So anyway,
Thank you for listening.
And I wish you the best.
Take care.
Bye.
