Excerpt
Introduction: Dare to be AwareTM
Clutter is Not the Problem
If you’ve ever spring cleaned your house, cleared off your desk, cleaned out your closet, or donated some of your unwanted stuff to charity, you’ve experienced decluttering. Declutter means to remove unnecessary items from your home or your environment.
Take a look around your house, right now. If you’re like most people, you’ve accumulated quite a bit of new stuff since your last closet purging or trip to the donation center. What gives?
The problem is that your decluttering efforts were replaced by a gradual re-cluttering. Somehow, perhaps without your noticing, you accumulated just as much stuff as before, and your house is ripe for a bout of decluttering once again.
The truth is, your stuff isn’t the problem. It’s not even your fault. You’ve simply picked up the habit of re-cluttering.
This book will help you break the re-cluttering habit. When you break the habit of re-cluttering, you finally break free of the anxiety and exasperation that excess physical clutter can provoke. You become free and clear.
Now, if you are looking for the perfect method for folding your shirts or rearranging your stuff, this book is probably not for you. This book won’t help you rearrange your current stuff in a new way. We often think decluttering means organizing. It doesn’t. Yes, you can certainly rearrange your stuff so it is more orderly and visually appealing. But moving stuff around doesn’t get to the real issue of why you accumulated all that stuff in the first place.
This book does.
Don’t worry, you won’t have to become a minimalist to massively benefit from this book. In fact, I’m not a big fan of the word “minimalist.” I consider myself a maximizer. I live life to the max. I use my stuff to the max.
Using the 7-step Free and Clear system, you’ll break the re-cluttering habit and experiment with being a maximizer as well. In doing so, you’ll feel a renewed sense of freedom, appreciation, and ease with your external physical stuff and your internal state of being. You’ll create some much-needed space in your home and your head, so you can have more of what you really want in life.
