•Is anything blocking flow of energy in your life right now?

•Where are you cluttering up your life, emotionally, physically, mentally, spiritually?

•Is there anything in your life you are telling yourself is only temporary?

•What would it take to make a change now?

•What do you know, but need to remind yourself about in terms of your needs?

•As an extrovert, or an introvert, what feeds your soul? Are you incorporating that in your life?

•Visits with family are often most challenging in terms of being ourselves. How do you take care of your needs while with your family?

•When you are thrown into an unfamiliar situation, what happens? Do you make sure your needs are met or do you let them slide? What do you tell yourself?

•Do you have a situation coming up – maybe people coming to stay, maybe you visiting someone – where you can begin to plan ways to have your needs met?

•In your home, or when you are in a temporary situation, what can you do to make a sanctuary for yourself? What can you place in your environment to give you a feeling of belonging?

Some of my clients have found a way to create a sense of place when traveling. They have gathered a collection of things that have significance for them. When they travel they place them on bedside table or somewhere they will feel their energy.

Some people have a favorite throw or they might take their own pillow with them. Don’t forget power of journaling. Keeping up this practice will give you clarity and space.

In Feng Shui, intention is to create a flow of energy in your environment to support you in creating life of your dreams. A life that flows and is easy and where you can be your authentic self. Your environment either supports you or drains you. By paying attention to all your environments you will create an environment of success for yourself.

7. Declutter your day - What are your most productive activities at work - ones that bring you greatest results? How much of your time do you spend doing them? Most people spend majority of their time on their least productive activities - reading and answering emails, having meetings, returning phone calls, looking for documents.

Do you clutter your day up with things that could be delegated or things that are not important? Do you allow yourself to be constantly interrupted with emails, phone calls or family members?

8. Your head! Do you have a whole lot of thoughts running around in your head when you get up in morning? Julia Cameron in Artists Way suggests writing Morning Pages. There are 3 pages of free flow writing. Just let whatever wants to come up, come up. It’s amazing what does come to fore and I have found this a useful tool to start my day with a clear head.

9. Things from past. Do you have wedding dress from your first marriage? Do you have books on subjects you are no longer interested in, or are they out of date? Do you have vitamins in your cupboard more than 6 months old - they will have lost their potency. Have you moved from a house into a Condo and still have gardening tools you can no longer use? Do you have your grandparent’s clock that no longer works, and you don't even like it? Have you been given gifts that aren't you?

Clear this clutter and notice how your energy changes.

10. Do you have things in a storage unit? Do these pass Ultimate Clutter Test? Do you love them, do you use them, and do they raise your energy? If not, how much is it costing you to store these things. If they disappeared would you miss them? Do you even remember what is in those boxes? How about your garage? Is it so full that your car/s need to sit outside? How much are your cars depreciating by being out in elements and are things in garage worth that much?

Bonus Tip. Here’s a tough one! Are there people in your life who drain your energy? What is it costing you? What do you have invested in staying in contact with them? Maybe they are close family members. Who do you need to be to take care of yourself around them?

Be ruthless when it comes to decluttering. For energy to flow easily in your life, and your home, you need to be diligent when it comes to clutter. If you don’t address it, it will hold you where you were back in 2002 or before! Clutter Busting will support you in moving forward into an abundant life.
