GENERAL SPACE ENERGY PHILOSOPHY

Stuff and the associated tasks that need to be done to maintain it requires at least a bit of organization to keep up.

• Develop a protocol for the aquisition of stuff

• Create a cleaning grid — add weekly, monthly & seasonal chores.

• Create monthly purge lists — according to lifestyle & season

• Develop the habit of Space Clearing before and after 'events'

• Schedule thorough Space Clearings on a seasonal basis

PURGE & POLISH

First things — really must be first when it comes to Space Clearing.

Unless you're into wasting your time and, in the case of hiring a professional, money — there's just no way around it. Ya gotta do the work! Ya gotta apply the 'elbow grease'. Hard decisions and big work before bells and whirly-gigs. Thorough sifting and gifting before Feng Shui 'fixes'.

Believe it! Stagnation in work; no 'love of one's life' in one's life; lack of clarity, poor focus, no motivation, low self-esteem … are all part of the manifestation of clutter, dust-bunnies and unfinished projects — like repairs and renovations.

PURGE IN BABY STEPS

• One thing in, two things out

• Keep a 'gifting' bin in a convenient place

• Decide on your thrift store of choice

• Schedule bi-weekly / monthly 'gift' bin drop-offs
