Take a Load Off: Clear Emotional Clutter

We all have this emotional clutter that we drag with us from experience to experience, but how would you like to rid yourself of that confusion that clouds your head everyday? It's a known fact that the emotional gear that we carry weighs down on us. Whether it be through our appearance, (because it's hard to take care of yourself on the outside, if you have not done it on the inside) or mild depressive days when we don't want to see, hear or speak to anyone. This clutter blocks us from living life and so we become stuck in our situation because we believe that we can't get out (the mental clutter tells us it's not possible). Well, since not everyone on the planet is going through this emotional clutter (and thank goodness because the world would be a depressing place) and I have personally witnessed people take themselves out of this rut, here are few tips to help you get out of the rut and de-clutter your brain.

Tip #1: If you are ever feeling down in the dumps about something and ready to breakdown then try clearing clutter somewhere in your home. Nine times out of ten, it will help you gain a new perspective on whatever you are upset about and best of all when it's done you will have a clean area to look at.

Tip #2: Try surrounding yourself with new friends and ditch the ones that keep giving you grief. I know it may sound obvious but all of us have those people in our life who bring us down and it can be as simple as taking them out of your life, that makes the difference for your well being.

Tip #3: Let go of any bad relationships, past and present. When we hold on to the relationships of the past, it stops us from moving forward in our lives. Holding on to the relationships of the present can traumatize us even more. If you are in a bad relationship have the courage to either transform what you have into something you feel better about or go your separate ways.

Tip #4: Take a look at the amount of jewelry you wear. The more your wear the more you are hiding you. Jewelry can be seen as a form of emotional armor, blocking the real you from coming out. So try evaluating the amount of jewelry you wear and why you wear it and you just may find that those chunky plastic yellow hoops are only masking you.

Tip #5: Communicate. Communicate. Communicate. So much of our emotional clutter comes from lack of communication. If we communicate with people about our conflicts, grievances and relationships, then we take the complete load off ourselves and share it, as life should be (no one person can take on the weight of the world or the weight of one situation for that matter). So talk, talk and talk some more. Share what you are feeling and get out that emotional clutter.

These simple tips can make the world of a difference when dealing with your emotional clutter. You will find that by following these simple steps life's load will slowly be lifted away. You will be able to enjoy life, the way it was meant to be enjoyed and the stress and clutter that haunts you will vanish into thin air.
