Clutter Busting
Clutter Busting: Letting Go of What's Holding You Back | Brooks Palmer
6 posts | 3 read | 3 to read
Piles of junk in garages and closets, overflowing papers on desks, items unused for years, masses of unanswered email, clothing never worn, useless gifts that collect dust; all these things, says Brooks Palmer, come weighted with shame and guilt and have a suffocating effect on spirit and soul. In this insightful book, Palmer shows how to get rid of the things in our lives that no longer serve us. By tossing out these unneeded items, we are also eliminating their negative influences, freeing up energy, and unlocking our potential. Loaded with inspiring anecdotes and practical tips, Clutter Busting is based on the premise that your things are not sacred, but you are. The book explores such fundamental topics as the false identities we assume through clutter, the fear of change those junk piles represent, the addictive nature of holding on to objects, how clearing clutter makes room for clarity and sweeps away confusion and stasis, and much more. With Brookss upbeat and compassionate guidance, youll find yourself clearing the way for new and exciting things to come into your life.

Ok Littens. I have an odd request. I'm having a day and am decluttering. When I took a look at my shelves I thought, it can't just be me. We all have to have spaces on our bookshelves that we clean before we take pictures. The space where we throw random crap until it's time to move it. In my case, tiny terrorist touches things and this is the safe space 🤣

So for all of us closet shelf clutterers....take a pick and show me your #ShittyShelfie

FantasyChick If anyone's interested...we have some baby creams that I can't leave in arm's reach, random crayons that double as chew toys I guess, a bucket of cords so they don't get lost, playstation controller because it's out of reach, yarn because I am going to be crochet shit (spoiler alert: it's been 3 months and I still don't know how), baby socks for no real reason and a half used candle full of small toys baby can't have yet 🤣 3y
Dan_SpiderCrafts Shelves are so cool with skeleton figures 😄 I love the spooky doll! 3y
RaeLovesToRead Ha! I love the idea of a shitty shelfie ?? My shelves are constantly cluttered, but I'll be honest... a load of junk ends up on the floor, so my pics carefully miss out my "floordrobe" ? 3y
FantasyChick @AlobelThee I love my skeletons! They stay up year round and I buy a few more every year. The doll....I hate that doll 🤣🤣 3y
FantasyChick @RaeLovesToRead Hahaha that is awesome! I always pick and choose where to take pictures and end up moving the junk long enough enough a couple shots before moving it back. What can I say, I'm the Queen of Clutter 🤣 3y

Well, I got the table done! Halfway there. Tomorrow morning I'll work on the chair - it's going to involve several trips to the basement and I try to save that kind of stuff for daylight hours. 😳 Plus, I can see how badly this table needs refinishing. Yikes.
And, my brain must've been working because I already wrote my first Dewey's post on my blog and scheduled it to go live. That'll save me crucial brain power in the early morning!

LeahBergen Woo hoo! 8y
Megabooks Looks great!! 8y
Bette That looks great. 👍 Good for you. 👏🏻👋bye bye clutter! 8y

Maybe publicly shaming myself will motivate me? This afternoon I need to clear/clean this coffee table and the big red chair behind it before the #readathon tomorrow. Yikes! I'm also doing some laundry and will put clean sheets on my bed, plus vacuuming and doing some dishes too - but first, a nap! 👍🏻😴Let's not get too crazy productive, folks. 😉

LeahBergen You can do it!! 👍🏼 8y
Megabooks Good luck! I'm a reformed messy person, so I feel you. 8y
LauraBeth How's the de-cluttering going? 8y

Bette Good luck, it's a constant battle. 😊 8y
LauraBrook @LeahBergen Thanks! @Ebooksandcooks You're giving me hope for the future. When life gets crazy/bad my house kind of explodes. Trying to work in that, it's like a terrible reflex. @LauraBeth Oh, uh, yeah, it's going great! (Some things have moved, but not enough to really be able to tell. But I've decluttered two tote bags and done 3 loads of laundry!) I'm a sad sad case. 😳 8y
LauraBrook @Bette Thank you, it really is. 😊 8y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa Good luck! One pile at a time! 8y
LauraBrook @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Thank you, I'll take all the luck I can get! It seems like the piles multiply when you're. It looking - so much paper!!! 8y
