UnlockingThe Secrets To Creating Inner Peace

There are secrets to unlocking your inner peace. Today, we will examine one secret that helps you create the inner peace you need to flourish.

When I walked into the home office, it looked tidy. That is on the surface.

I opened the closet, and it was another story.

There were blank canvases, cut-out magazine images, an air purifier, empty notebooks, boxes of fabric for upcoming projects, a container of incense, binders with courses I have offered, candles, oracle card decks, Feng Shui remedy supplies, and a whole lot more.

I realized that even though my stuff was organized in labeled containers, that did not mean I had my things under control.

The Three to Five Second Rule

My friend, Sandy, asked me, “Can you find whatever you want in 3 to 5 seconds?”

I answered, “No.” Then she said, “You might have too much stuff.”

My first reaction was to tell myself that everything in the closet was essential to me and that I needed everything. It has a purpose; you never know when you need it.

The Secret to Creating More Inner Peace

Sandy was giving her home office a makeover, and I loved the photos she sent me of her progress.

This is what surprised me. After she was finished, she said, “I can’t believe the difference. It’s really peaceful in here.”

I wanted that peaceful feeling, too, when I was in my home office.

That’s when I realized that just because it looks tidy outside does not mean I am home-free.

The clutter in my closet impacted my feelings of peace, clarity, and well-being. Besides, I was still looking for what I wanted in 3 to 5 seconds.

I told Sandy I would clear the stuff in my closet and make my life easier, more fun, and more peaceful.

I wondered:

• How do we collect so much stuff? What influences our buying decisions?
