Clutter in the Closet.
Everyone has clutter somewhere in their house, or their computer, or their head. It’s an ongoing battle which must be fought-this creep of things, ideas, and information. One place that can always benefit from a fresh look is the closet. I got that chance this morning.
Last night a 5-alarm fire destroyed a condo complex in Edgewater, NJ, our neighbors to the north, also on the Hudson River. 500+ people are homeless. Someone tweeted that among other urgent needs, clothing was wanted.
Clothing that just takes up space … you haven’t worn it in years but hope to fit back into it one day, or you paid a lot for so you can’t part with it, is taking up your energy as well as closet real estate. It influences the way you can see and style yourself.
Too much clutter in the closet is associated with too much weight on the body. Things that need to be repaired, altered or given away will bring your vitality down. This is especially significant when you’re going to be seen and heard in public…you want to be poised and look the part.
While I tend to have a lean closet, I looked at every item differently this morning. Is something that I’ve been hanging on to “just in case” worth more to me, or to someone who’s just lost everything? That made it easy to decide.
