How
do I manage clutter?
Dear E,
I am a very creative person and usually have part of my
space dedicated to clutter. I notice when I am in a big growth period
my place is especially messy. How do I manage clutter?
Dear L,
It makes sense that your place would become more cluttered
when you are in a big growth period. During those times things internally
are falling apart, or disorganizing in order to reorganize in a different
way based on your newly integrated information. Your space is reflecting
that back to you. It is important to stay in relationship to the
clutter, without judgment. It is so easy to use clutter as a way
of perpetuating the habit of “beating oneself up,” so the question
is , “How can I befriend this part of my experience?” I like your
way of dedicating a place to your clutter. When you are in a big
growth period you might put piles into paper bags or find some way
of acknowledging clutter and staying in relationship to it is some
small way. For people who are creative beginning to sort through
the piles, can produce an intuitive state, leading little by little
to clarity. Trust the process.
Best, E
