This is going to sound strange.
Really strange.
But, I want you to develop an allergy. On purpose.
When was the last time somebody asked you to develop an allergy?
Yep, pretty strange.
But, if you don’t have this allergy, you might be setting yourself up for a more difficult life. And, I’m all about making life easier for you and me.
So, starting now, please become allergic to clutter.
Wouldn’t it be amazing if you had an allergic reaction to clutter every time you came in contact with it?
Imagine you walk into your den, come in direct (oh no) contact with clutter and begin to sneeze and wheeze. Your eyes tear up and start to burn. You can’t stand it. You have to leave the den your reaction is so bad.
Don’t you think if you reacted to clutter like this every time you came in contact with it that one of two things would happen. Either you would get rid of the clutter or you would avoid the den. Either way your problem is solved.
And no, we wouldn’t have any allergy medicine for you.
As I see it, the problem is we don’t have this reaction. We become immune to clutter. We walk and step right past it. We become oblivious to it. It becomes part of the room. Our brains don’t even notice it.
Life is much easier with less clutter. How do I know? This is my life. I inherited the clutter gene. By default, I clutter.
Clutter robs you of energy and takes up psychic space. It takes part of your brain space. That means you have just a tiny bit less for being creative and working on your business. I don’t know about you, but I need all the brainpower I have.
So, next time you come in direct contact with clutter, see if you can muster up a sneeze!
