Where can you reduce clutter in your life?
The place that I need to reduce clutter the most is in my head. I’m telling you it’s a circus up there. My thoughts are as many and as unorganized as a hoarders keep, and my mind has no control sometimes on how quickly ideas or information changes. Focusing is an exercise. I actively and intentionally have to tell myself out loud, “focus”, to finish a task I’ve started and need to see it through to completion.
My mind is often always cluttered. The random thoughts playing in my head are relentless. Many nights it’s hard to shut them down so that I can rest. It takes nearly an hour to fall asleep as I deal with a constant barrage of replayed moments, conversations, and things left unsaid from that days occurrences. But lately I’ve been trying to set my intentions on solutions and not focus so much on my worries. I have been leaning on a motto from my middle school years and making it my mantra,
Perceive it, Believe it, Achieve it.
Perceiving that all things will work out for the best, and believing that I can see my desires come to fruition have always guaranteed that I will achieve anything I wish for myself when I focus my mind in this practice. Sometimes I get so caught up in the stress of life and negative news/information that I fall away from this method of thinking. But when I institute this technique, I find that I am more at peace and I can fall asleep faster, and life is good when my mind is over matter.
