Decluttering and Business Cards

by | July 2019 | Personal Growth, Transformation

Salutations,

I am continuing to declutter (again!) the paperwork in my study. My focus on this comes and goes – and I know I need to be ruthless!! There is so much of interest to revisit as I go through the files.

I ask myself – “How long since I opened this file? Do I really need to keep this just to jog my memory that I did go to that wonderful workshop? Will it be useful to me in the future?”

My mind plays tricks.

I have decided to throw away what is obviously irrelevant and put the rest into a “next round” pile to look at again later. It takes the pressure off and at least I am whittling away the bulk of the paper.

I came across a business card holder full of business cards (mainly from 10-15 years ago) from many inspiring and successful people. The years have gone on and I realise most of us have moved on in our lives and careers. They were precious learning and sharing years and yet we are all constantly evolving. It is necessary to let go of where we may have been at each part of our life and embrace this now moment. If I am meant to synchronise with any of these lovely people again it will happen without me having to hold on to their perhaps outdated business cards. So, into the recycling bin they have gone!

Being a soul in a physical body requires us to deal with this physical reality – including possessions. It is not always easy. How are you going with this?

We are entitled to our comforts and things that give us joy. However, to me, having clutter does not give me joy or allow me my serenity or clarity.

It is still a work in progress!

My dear friends say I have a very calming, joyful and clutter free home and yet I know I still have cupboards full of unnecessary things.

At least change is happening. The energy is shifting (for the better) – I am clearing the past to enjoy the present more!
