Here we go.
With all the things you have in your life,
Are you any more happy than your dog?
That quote's by Ramesh Balzikar.
Introduction.
It's time for you to take out the trash.
Currently,
You live in the most expensive type of trash can.
The trash in your home or work environment consumes precious space and zaps energy from your life.
It is time for you to make the place you live your home again.
It's time to renew your energy.
It's time to take out the trash.
What trash,
You ask?
Trash or clutter includes the things that you hold onto that are no longer useful to you.
These things may be worn out or brand new,
But they are trash because they have lost their value.
Such things no longer serve a purpose,
And they certainly don't add to your quality of life.
They are barriers to good,
Powerful,
And necessary change.
The clothes you no longer wear,
The papers choking your desk and files,
The electronics you've replaced,
The extraneous and unused items stuffed into your kitchen cabinets and drawers,
The CDs and MP3s you no longer listen to,
All the various things that clog up your home,
Office,
And garage constantly trip you up in every area of your life.
Whether or not you realize it,
These white elephants are the reason you no longer enjoy your home.
They are behind the feeling of,
I just can't get anything done,
And general feelings of unhappiness,
Illness,
And disease.
Collectively,
They are overwhelming your senses.
Nothing motivates you anymore.
You can never get organized.
Tasks go unfinished.
Projects get left behind.
You feel buried,
Unaccomplished.
You feel as if you need something to feel better.
What do you need to feel better?
How do you start to make changes?
How can you begin to take care of yourself and your surroundings if you haven't done so for months,
Maybe even years?
This book is about what I call clutter busting.
Actively breaking through barriers and letting go of the unnecessary clutter that crowds your life.
Clutter busting helps restore clarity and insight.
When you clutter bust,
You find yourself.
You remove the impediments to a happy life.
You naturally replace lack of motivation,
Anxiety,
And unhappiness with the peace of mind,
Certainty,
And acceptance of change and progress.
It is your clutter.
It is your decision.
Your things are beneficial only when they improve or enhance your life in some way.
This book will help you decide what stays and what goes.
The process will be easy if you are open to letting go.
If you struggle with letting go,
Don't worry.
I will advise you along the way,
Providing plenty of examples from real life clutter bustings.
I will give you the necessary tools for you to reclaim your life.
You'll find yourself tossing the trash into the trash can where it belongs.
It's time for you to take back your space and your life.
