The Hidden Cost of Clutter in Our Lives
Whether physical, emotional, or possessional, clutter takes up space in our psyches and calendars that we can reallocate towards living a more creative, energetic, and fulfilling life.
While the idea of decluttering and downsizing appeals to many of us, it remains an elusive goal. Marie Kondo is credited with creating a movement around the ‘Life-Changing Magic’ of decluttering.
Clear the Space, Feel the Rush expands far beyond Kondo’s work. Author Connie Lockhart Ellefson shows how decluttering can be accomplished not only with our belongings (our “stuff”), but with our thoughts and emotions, and our bodies, as well.
Connie shares how her ‘decluttering’ journey ultimately led to a life of enthusiasm, enjoyment, and lightness. She discovered you can approach decluttering from any of several directions, not just your possessions. Progress in one area positively impacts the others, and the resulting rush of energy not only allows the real you to emerge but has exhilarating effects on your mental and physical health.
This book is about a paradigm shift and reveals how we can solve so many of our problems by letting go of what weighs heavily on us.
