before you declutter, be sure to do this first

Join me on Monday for the Feng Shui Decluttering Challenge

At 10pm last night I was dragging the shredder out of the closet.

I was supposed to be finishing an email to you about next week’s Feng Shui Decluttering Challenge. And, I just couldn’t.

My creative flow felt like stagnant pond water.

I was at the point in the email where I had listed all the reasons why decluttering was hard…

• It’s time consuming.

• It’s hard to know where to start.

• Doubt interferes with knowing what to let go of.

• Fear questions whether we’ll need the thing in the future.

…and I didn’t know what to write next.

Being truly stuck, I bounced between doom scrolling, texting a friend, feeling exhausted, and lamenting that I didn’t know how to talk to you.

That’s when I began shredding old financial papers.

A distraction? Maybe.

Or, had I just Space Doula’d myself into creative clarity.

When I woke up this morning (after doing my shame dance of not sending you a Friday am email), I realized I had subconsciously done exactly what my professional self would have told a client.

When you’re stuck between what you want and what you’re experiencing, DECLUTTER.

And not declutter just anything.

Use feng shui to declutter in the area of your home associated with what you want in your life.

1. I had serious writer’s block.

2. My filing cabinet was being suffocated by old financial documents.

3. From a feng shui perspective, my filing cabinet sits in the area of my home associated with creativity and joy.

4. Instead of spiraling into a sea of frustration, I grabbed my paper shredder and made space in the area of my home associated with creativity and joy.

5. I woke up this morning knowing that you didn’t need to hear how hard decluttering is. You already know that. What you need to hear is a story about how the power combo of feng shui + decluttering paves the way for what you want in your life.

AND THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT WE’RE GOING TO DO IN THE
