Many individuals have a tendency to hold onto possessions and emotions. We often associate objects with specific events and people, and when our emotional energy is stagnant, it can be challenging to let go of these possessions, particularly when they were given by someone no longer in our lives. In such cases, we may hold onto these objects as a memory, even if they serve no practical purpose.
It is important to remember that clutter and stored emotions often go hand in hand. Clearing out old and unnecessary possessions is crucial for not only physical but also emotional well-being. Objects and buildings also hold energy, and it is important to surround yourself with possessions that bring positive energy and uplift your experience. Studies have shown that residing in a cluttered space can have adverse effects on mental health, contributing to feelings of depression and anxiety.
On the other hand, living with belongings you love ensures that your experience is always uplifting. Every object seen by your eyes or touched by your body sends back its own energy of love and acceptance. Compare that to things you look at or touch that give you the creeps and bad feelings. When that happens, scenes of things you don't like replay in your mind, or bad feelings are unconsciously triggered. With this understanding and comparison, you will be able to appreciate the value of cleaning up and having a space filled with beloved objects that are good for you. Then, you can get rid of everything that causes bad associations, harms you in some way, or is simply broken or unnecessary for that environment. Get rid of the excess. If you want to live with more joy and tranquility, surely some things cannot keep up with your movement, so get rid of them without guilt.
