The book that inspired me recently was 10-Minute Clutter Control: Easy Feng Shui Tips for Getting Organized written by Skye Alexander.

Zig Ziglar simplified the notion in his individual style with the statement, "Get rid of what you don't want in life, to make room for what you do want." To do this requires a certain journey into self definition and realistic inventory into what you have and need to get there.

What is it that will really help you? What will give you career satisfaction and joy? With as many hours as you are in the job, it should be a journey of delight rather than an exercise in accumulated frustration. In this blog we will explore the value of life essence simplification, clarification, and definition from the views of Career Transformation.

Clutter is pretty wily, it sneaks up on us over time and affects our abode, advertising, appearance, and attitudes towards work and life. So if clutter occurs as an accumulation over time, then Feng Shui is really a practical application for defining and positioning yourself to live a happy life. Anyone can elect to transform their career, and sometimes we forget that we have a choice, even if that choice we have made, produces physical obstacles that mirror our psychological limitations.

Now who wants to willingly admit that they have a dusty home, an underused "get to it some day" networking profile, or carrying around limitations and beliefs, perhaps closet full of clothes that do not fit any more, but might some day!

Some view clutter as a comfortable protection against fear-- there is ease and relief in the familiar, even if it's primary value is to serve as a reminder of all that remains undone.

You walk in the living room, kicking the toy animal dangling from what once contained 3 lively balloons dancing on a string, energy secured by the anchor to this toy animal. You wake up for bed, get ready for work through your morning ritual, you bite your tongue on your known challenging situations, and "just do it" a few dozen times on difficult or challenging, perhaps boring and redundant tasks, because that is what is required to keep up.

Is keeping up enough for you? Is it allowing you to maintain a level of happiness? If not try some declutter tips that really apply whether the issue is home, health, attitude, life, or career. Identify what is working, what is not working, and take some quick steps every day to live the happiness of your heart!

Clean up clutter-- accumulation over time produces physical obstacles that mirror psychological obstacles. Some view it as protection against fear-- representing comfort in confusion and old baggage.

1. What is it that you continually say "you will do it tomorrow" and then remind yourself month after month to do? Make a list and whittle away at this a little every day.
2. What no longer fits? If your closets and home contains items you no longer use, enrich the life of others by passing it on. Create a massive garage sales, trading with the neighbors, and donating the rest to charity. You will all benefit from getting rid of what you don't want, making room for what you do want, and creating value for others. Identify your blind spots and personally imposed rules, and set goals and actions to transform them into assets or minimized risks to your happiness.
   
3. What supports and inspires you? Reach out a little bit a day to people who remind you that you can make a difference, and offers you honest open down to earth talks about becoming the best we can be.. Volunteer to help others who are experiencing an extreme that you fear-- enriching the can be a great benefit to you, while you define your worst case scenarios, realizing that even at its seeming unmanageable worst, there is room for transformation!
