SAVING FOR THE RAINY DAY... OR CLUTTER IN THE ATTIC, BASEMENT AND GARAGE

To live in the middle of junk and clutter gives us a cluttered mind. Do you get ready for the rainy day by saving pieces of string, broken tools, a little bit of thread on the spool, clothes they have outgrown but are too good to throw away and they can't bring themselves to give them away, even if they're tired of them? Whatever makes you think you'll just love them 5 or 10 years later when you rescue them from the attic, filled with moth holes? You think you can always patch them up and they will be good as new, but it never happens.

Some people have so much junk in the garage they cannot park the car. Others have so much in the house they can't clean – they simply move the clutter from corner to corner. Someday you're sure you'll clean up and organize the clutter - only to find that you just can't tackle organizing all that junk

Why do we do this to ourselves? For most, it is because we are living with a fear that we do not or will not have "enough." We want to "be prepared," so we save all that junk we have accumulated over the years - so that if we need it, we can just go get it out of the attic or basement or garage. This kind of thinking leads to despair. Our fear there will not be enough to go around forces us to "practice poverty". If we practice poverty in our mind, it will appear! Sometimes people are not aware they practice poverty, but they say they hate being cluttered and don't want it. But what the mind believes it achieves! Do not store up things for the rainy day. If you die before "that day" arrives the family will go through your things and wonder why you kept old recipes and articles cut out of the newspaper, bits and pieces of string and picture frames you were always going to fix.

Throw off that mental poverty. If you have too much of anything (clutter!) make one of three choices. If you really love it and want it, keep it. If it's worthless, throw it away. If somebody else can love and enjoy it, give it away. Label three sacks: (1) KEEP (2) THROW AWAY and (3) GIVE AWAY. Then work at it a little bit at a time. Declutter as little as 10 minutes a day and see what a tremendous difference it makes in your life.

If you practice the three sacks method you will never be known as a clutter bug. It also will relieve everyone around to know there is a path in the basement and the garage and you don't have stuff stored in grandma's old trunks in the attic.

Live in today's time, believing that you have enough to go around and you will have enough!
