Out with the old and in with the new! Although it is the theme for the a new year,

it is also known as decluttering. Another popular time for this is called spring cleaning.

Your physical environment and those you surround yourself with affect the other areas of your life. Decluttering your physical life can make such a difference in attitude and mood as well as energetically. This can be cleaning out the closet of things that you no longer wear, getting rid of things that you no longer use, or organizing areas of your home like a “junk” drawer, garage, storage area, spare room, etc. It can also be finishing a project(s) that you started that got set aside with the intention of going back to complete it.

Don’t forget to include your work environment (office or work area) where you spend time.

Decluttering can also involve the release of negativity. You can choose differently how you spend your time and with whom you spend it. It is good to set personal boundaries. Take time to become aware of yourself by getting to know yourself (mind, body and spirit) as this definitely helps with decluttering, boundary setting and taking care of yourself.
