Declutter Day... Thank you Karen Kingston... Ready Set Go!

Felt physically sick most of the morning knowing today was declutter day. Put it off, however didn't allow myself to read fiction or watch tv. Instead I chose to read through Karen Kingston "Clear your clutter with Feng Shui" to get me in the mood. It has worked before and it has again. One of my major problems is letting go, but I feel if I allow myself to let go of everything I have that I haven't used it will be a whole lot easier. One other problems is what to do with it. There are many things I just can't throw away, including papers I feel I have to keep (sentimental pictures my kids drew etc).

Going by the seat of my pants...

Reading Karen Kingston...  I feel I can't move on at all to anything good while my house is still such a wreck! She is completely right in describing the feeling of clutter as sticky. It's depressing, embarrasing and completely sucks the energy right out of me. There are so many books and websites that give you tips on how to declutter over time, and I have tried many... but they didn't work for the type of life I currently have. How are you supposed to do a small box an evening when you quite often don't have energy for the normal household chores???
