How do you feel about your clutter?

Are you fed up with the judgements of friends and family who repeatedly tell you to tidy up?

Have you ever stopped to consider how you actually feel about your own situation? 

The thing is, if you begin to tackle clutter - you're only going to be successful if you're doing it for yourself.  How you feel about your clutter is something you might not want to dwell on.  I suggest that if you can identify what it is that made you hang on to stuff in the first place - then you've got an opportunity to really clear it all.  Literally and emotionally.

For many people, clutter represents unprocessed emotions.  Are you willing to revisit these emotions?  If you can do this it will give you the opportunity to decide what you want in order to feel better.

For instance, maybe you kept all the gifts your ex-boyfriend gave you?  Since then you've not been in a relationship.  Feeling the hurt and rejection may lead you to a new feeling.  For instance, you might simply want to acknowledge that it's OK to be single.  In that moment, you gain freedom from the long hoarded gifts.  Actually parting with these items will bring a real sense of liberation.
