Everything Fits Together Perfectly!
Here's a little lesson I experienced while packing boxes for my move to Victoria, BC. I decided to pack my own belongings so that I would have more money to set up my apartment once I'd moved. I wanted to use good, sturdy boxes and attracted the information that there was a box manufacturing company right in Saskatoon. What a delight to sort through, then pack my belongings in brand-new, heavy-weight boxes that only cost an average of $2.00 each. As I was packing, I was aware of the importance of filling each box right to the top, so that nothing would break, should the box be stored upside down or on its side. Packing each box began easily enough, but as I neared the top it became more challenging to find something the precise size needed to fill but not extend above the top of the box. This little "mantra" popped into my mind and developed into a delightful game! "Everything fits together perfectly!" I would fill a box as full as I could, then begin my mantra--"Everything fits together perfectly...everything fits together perfectly...." Some boxes remained open for several days before I came across the right perfect item to fill them--but when I did, I squealed with delight and shouted my mantra!!!! "Everything fits together perfectly!!" Zip goes the tape dispenser! Another box filled perfectly to the top! Now that the boxes are unpacked, I am finding more applications for my mantra: "Everything fits together perfectly!" When my business cards were not completed by the date of my first networking meeting--"Everything fits together perfectly" meant that I would take my "other" business cards and promote TeleClass International, instead of Aurora Websites. When the first chiropractor I visited in Victoria fulfilled ALL my desires for an energy worker, a nutritionist, a positive energy sponsor and body worker, I sang: "Everything fits together perfectly!" When I learned that my dining room table and chairs will not arrive before my daughter Sarah's first visit: "Everything fits together perfectly!" means that we will probably eat out a lot! (Ooooh, loads of fun!) One evening I heard music and laughter coming from the park next to my apartment. When I realized it was a neighborhood block-party and that my desire for "community" was being fulfilled, I joyfully announced: "Everything fits together perfectly!" Now that you are aware of this truth, notice how often--even many times in one day--"Everything fits together perfectly!" in your life! Do you have a secret dream, desire or hope?

Making Space - Letting Go of Clutter
To make room for new things to come into you life, you have to create space for such things. If your environment or life is packed with things you no longer need or that no longer serve you, then you are holding yourself back. There's no room for new opportunities, new relationships or new ideas to enter. Yesterday I had a conversation with a client about this very topic. I congratulated the client on cleaning out items associated with her previous career from her home office to make room for all the new ventures she is exploring. I was reminded of what I went through when I decided to switch careers. When I first became a coach, I was hesitant to toss or give away all the business materials I had accumulated as a financial professional. I kept thinking, "What if I need these items again?" I finally realized that my indecisiveness, (about giving up the security that these materials provided - thinking I could always go back to my former career), was holding me back. After this realization I immediately tackled my office and cleared out 9 trash bags of old business files. Guess what happened? The next day I had a new client!

What they don't realize is that, from a feng shui perspective, these techniques can cause as many problems as they solve.

10 Tips to Get Organized and Clutter-Free- Now!
1. THE LOVE IT OR LOSE IT PRINCIPLE: Every item around you represents a choice you made. You either went out or selected it; or it came to you, and you accepted it. Look at that item now with fresh eyes. If you do not know that item to be useful, believe it to be beautiful, or love it for personal reasons, it's time to get rid of it. In other words, LOVE IT OR LOSE IT. Love what nourishes your dreams and directions, lose what drains or distracts you. Call this process your "Clutter Campaign".
