As my daughter prepared to leave home for college for the first time last fall, I wrote a post a called “Packing: How Much Stuff is Too Much.”
I thought my “bottom line” was worth sharing again for no other reason than that we live in a culture that possesses many things, and the transfer of those things is a way of life for us:
- Things look a lot worse when they’re spread out all over the place and haven’t yet been put away.
- You don’t have to be a minimalist for your space to feel clear.
- A space feels good when your things make your heart sing, add value, and are placed with intention.
- No home, no have.
Here’s what I didn’t mention in my earlier post:
- Moving things from one place to another – clothes to drawer, grocery bag to car, dishes to dishwasher, magazines to reading pile, button that needs sewing to to-do pile, bills to desk drawer (or wherever they go in your house), dirty clothes to hamper, attic treasures to Goodwill – moves energy.
- Moving energy releases stuck energy.
- Sometimes stuck energy being released doesn’t feel so good (especially if the thing has been sitting around for a while).
- Adding awareness to any task of moving is called “clearing.”
