The book that I co- authored in the series Wake Up Live the Life You Love: Living In Clarity hit #21 on the Top 100 Best Seller’s List at barnesandnoble.com last week.

I was very excited when I was given the opportunity to write a chapter on Clarity. If there was one thing that I was clear about even at an early age it was the fact that I wanted to teach and do healing work.

Having clarity made it easy for me to know the first steps I had to take to follow my dream. I did my training as a Laboratory Technologist in the UK specializing in Microbiology. Little did I know then after working for fifteen years in the arena of traditional medicine that I would expand into the complimentary, alternative, energy and metaphysical fields.

Working in these modalities has given me a better grasp of the infinite possibilities from which to draw upon to help myself and others to go beyond the realm of the five senses.

When we want to make changes in our lives, no matter what area that may be in, it first begins by changing how we have been conditioned to think and the beliefs that do not serve us.

Having clarity about your purpose or about anything else is the starting point. However you will need to have focus, passion, and action to keep you moving forward. As you read through the articles in this book you will receive wonderful insights, inspiration, wisdom, understanding, and many simple little secrets to help you reach your goal.

I am deeply honoured to have co- authored this book along with Dr. Wayne Dyer, Anthony Robbins, the insightful Brian Tracy, the dynamic Gregory Scott Reid, Alex Mandossian, Steve E, and other personal development experts.

What is clutter? Clutter is stuff that that no longer brings you joy, inspiration, or benefit. Clutter is what you are not currently using, want or need. It is stuck energy that brings about physical, mental, emotional and spiritual results.

 At one time it wasn’t clutter, in fact you probably had great fun shopping for the things that you now have, or the gifts that were given to you. Now the stuff  is taking too much room in your life.

Physical clutter is also an indication that there may be a feeling of overwhelm that is taking place in your mind and emotions, and weighing you down.  Here are some steps to get your stuck energy circulating  and get you back on track

Go through your home and remove, throw or donate any useless, unnecessary or unwanted items. If there are any objects that cause some negative emotions because of the past, you may want to consider parting with those items.

We suggest that you put a large box in the center of the room to discard, and another box where you want to give away the items. Begin with one drawer or cupboard at a time and work on that before moving to on to a whole room.

Going through the paper clutter requires more time and thought. Put things in categories like receipts and statements, paid bills; articles and magazines, stationary and office supplies, which will help you to sort each category separately.

There will never be an end to clutter, because you will always have mail coming to you, you will be buying things and receiving gifts. The good news is to have a relationship with your physical environment and decide what is important and necessary for you to keep, so that when you bring something new into your life there is a place for it. One way of maintaining this with ease is to let go of something that now is not crucial in your life before bringing in something new.

Physical clearing does several things:
1. It shows you the chaos or the clarity of your thoughts.
2. It helps you to detach mentally and physically.
3. It creates the space to allow new energy to come into your life.
 

Removing physical clutter has more to do with shifting the energy within you than from your environment. Everything that is taking place in our outer reality is an indication of what is happening in your inner self. Putting your external home in order allows corresponding changes to take place in your internal realm, freeing up the space for the energy of new possibilities and miracles to enter into your life.

When your mind is on overload, overwhelm becomes a chronic problem. Letting go of mental clutter gives you peace of mind enabling you  to use your creative ability to design your life on purpose.

An  easy way to keep your mind free of mental clutter is  writing down your thoughts on paper. I get a great sense of fulfillement crossing off the jobs that I have accomplished from my to do list .

Emotional Clutter.
We have many wounds and memories from the past that have caused us to feel disappointed, rejected, let down, angry and frustrated.  When these unhealed memories and wounds are not attended to, they fester. We may think that if we just suppress our emotions and not deal with them that they will leave us alone, but they don’t. If our wounds are not healed, they will affect our emotions, actions and behaviors. Ignoring them is like putting them into a pressure cooker. When the pressure gets to be too much, it is released often by inappropriate behavior.

Our feelings are the best indicator of our emotional well being. Holding on to feelings of resentment, jealousy, blame, and anger is detrimental to our physical health and wellbeing. Are you aware of what you are feeling when your buttons are being pushed? How do you deal with those emotions? Do you suppress them by putting on a sweet smile, complaining  or blowing up?

 You need to understand that it’s OK for you to feel what you are feeling, regardless of how strong the emotions may be, but they need to be processed.

Do not judge your thoughts or feelings. They are neither good nor bad. They just are. Your judgment of them is what makes them good or bad. 

Acknowledge and take ownership of the feelings that are not serving you because they are part of you. They are a signal to let you know that all is not well and that you need to deal with the root cause of what you are experiencing.
