If you want it create the space for it!

 

Are you a clutter bug or know someone who is?

Clutter….What clutter?!

Ok I’ll give some examples:

• The clothes we keep in the wardrobe that we bought years ago. Now chances are we’d need the Atkins diet or total starvation to squeeze into them but every time we meet them hanging forlornly from their hanger, we swish them to the side with a longing stare and renewed determination (that lasts exactly one minute!) that we WILL get into them soon!

• The shoes we’ve hardly worn because they pinch our toes and give us callouses but even though they cause us pain we can’t bear to give them away.  In the back of our deluded minds our feet are going to shrink or for some miraculous reason the shoes will magically get bigger!

• The magazines we’ve stockpiled on a designated table or under the bed because we know we’re going to need to read that article or buy the lotion, or remember we’re going to look just like +Beyoncé one day.

• The books we can’t bear to part with even though dust is the only thing that touches them anymore!

• The plastic Chinese or Indian takeaway containers that outnumber your regular crockery and have laid siege in the cupboard and tumble out every time you open the door because they will come in handy one day, one year, one decade!

• The plastic shopping bags…Oh we must keep them!  After all we have to do our bit for the planet and conserve the good ones (that we’ll never remember to use again).  We will of course happily dash the ones that have ruptured and strewn our food all over the ground and smashed our favourite bottle of wine which we were salivating to open as soon as we had the excuse of dinner, or a treat for having endured the day!  

• The underwear that we’ve over worn in particular the faithful pair of Bridget Jones baggies essential for the time of the month when we’ve grown three sizes. 

• The Calvin Klein Y fronts that now would only look great on David Beckham. 

• The socks…you know the long and short one you’re forced to pair because you just can’t find the twin.  The black one with the navy one that we hope no one will notice.  The single one that’s just too different to be paired with any other one so has to join the other ten single ones, we hope we’ll reunite one day. 

• Lastly the bras.  Oh the bras….the ones that are too small (but we will lose weight and get our massive mammary glands into them one day).  The too big ones that we keep just in case we’ve succumbed to the Chinese and Indian takeaway too often or the oven is getting ready for some buns, or the augmentation worked a treat!

Tip of the iceberg or the exaggeration of  a woman who likes to write blogs?

See what you think.   

Take a look around the room you’re sitting or lying in right this minute.  See any clutter?  Things you won’t use, don’t use, can’t use!  Chances are you’ll find something, even if it’s hiding in a drawer or cupboard.     

Why am I so confident?    

The answer’s simple…

Many of us accumulate and it takes conscious effort to get rid of things we hope we’ll use at some time or the other.  Truth is chances are high, we just won’t and here comes the important part:

If we’ve cluttered our space with things we don’t need, we won’t have space for the things we do!
