Get Rid Of Clutter And Change Your State Of Mind By Leigh Harris

Get Rid of Clutter and Change Your State of Mind by Leigh Harris

Clutter affects the environment and energy of your house.
What appears as simple overabundance of physical objects triggers energetic and emotional responses.

Think about your own home environment. How do you feel in different areas of your home? Often you walk in from the garage, and an automatic to-do list hits your mind. Jackets need to be hung up, dinner made, and laundry sorted. Just once you would like to grab a cold drink and head out to relax on the patio, but distractions beckon. With increasing irritation, you notice the hall filled with shoes thrown off haphazardly, or the bathroom floor covered with scattered towels. You would like to sit down and enjoy a moment of peace on the patio, if the mess would just go away. Each moment has its share of joy and frustrations, but there are moments in a parent’s life when the aggravation of clutter is overwhelming. For example, Janie was so preoccupied with finances that she allowed clutter to build in her house, only adding to the stress. When we reorganized her duties, she listed items that accumulated into clutter such as mail, magazines, plastic leftover containers and last season’s footwear. She resolved to sort, recycle, stack and put away these items. I cautioned her, however, that clutter sometimes indicates emotional attachment. If the emotion is still present, the clutter will simply reappear. It is a symptom, having an emotional hold on a memory, fear or hope. Clutter stems from the psychological effects of life lessons. Perhaps as a child, you learned from your parents to squirrel away the food, dishes, and even your own socks, for the future was uncertain. Perhaps you learned that a bare kitchen meant you lacked the money for basic necessities. Or perhaps the many gifts and trinkets that fill your shelves remind you of how far you’ve come in life. Either could still be true for Janie. In each case, clutter is a symbol for something both deeper and greater than the items themselves.

Let go of clutter - in 5 Minutes

For a collection of items to release its emotional hold on you, take five minutes to consider what having those items means to you. If someone were to take them all away today, how would you feel? What memories would this stir up? Allow yourself to keep these memories, but release the emotional control they have over you. Simply say, “that was a difficult time in my (or my parents’) life and I’m feeling some anxiety about it. I allow myself to feel anxiety, but it no longer controls how I feel about the present.” Don’t fight your feelings, instead, let them go. Or, “it reminds me of my grandmother, whom I was extremely close to. Giving it away feels like I don’t care.” Notice your feelings of love for your grandmother and allow them to stay, but let go of the guilt associated with this object. Once you understand what the clutter in your life symbolizes, it will no longer be a burden.* How does clutter affect your life? What changes can you make to clear clutter, and clear your mind? *Another short excerpt from Leigh's forthcoming book.

Getting back to the basics

"We have to get back to basics on an individual basis first, and as a community second."


"Prior to the existence of patented seeds, since the dawn of agriculture, until ten years ago, farmers collected seed from their harvests and replanted without having to purchase them annually. Otherwise they are liable for patent infringement." ~ Odysseus 
(Referring to the take over of our food supply by GMO's)

Insight from The Self Aware Parent

"Responding to a crying infant is the first acknowledgement of feelings~ soothing a baby lets him know that you care and understand. In toddler-hood children begin to look for words to identify their feelings, especially strong emotions, like fear, anger, or sadness. These emotions can be scary for a child and they need someone they trust to normalize the experience."


Lesson:  Children need to release and talk about feelings. Allow your children to share what they are feeling and help them discover tools to deal with powerful emotions. ~ Cathy Cassani Adams

Question #1: Lets just jump right in, you talk about: honor who your child is. Will you give some examples please.
Question #2: My daughter is extremely creative, but it impeded "manners" at the dinner table. How do we honor this and teach manners too?
Question #3: What about when the children are grown and the parent feels like they failed because they weren't fully in the conscious parenting process. How does that parent let it go and realize life is a process?

"Our children won't stay around us forever but will soon move on to their own lives. It's during the few short years we have them to ourselves that we can help them awaken to the fullness within them, because it's into this inner cup that they will dip when they are alone at college and under pressure, in a relationship and struggling with intimacy, or in a financial crunch and anxious. To prepare them for this, their spirit needs to be nourished on a daily basis." ~ Dr. Shefali Tsabary The Conscious Parent  Transforming Ourselves Empowering Our Children

The Conscious Parent (book) by Shefali Tsabary
Live chat with Dr. Tsabary right here in our Intentional Conscious Parenting Blogfrog Community Tuesday March 29th 9PM Eastern. 8PM Central, 7PM Mountain, 6PM Pacific 

My top five favorite messages from The Conscious Parent.
1. I really loved that throughout The Conscious Parent, Shefali reaffirms the processof parenting and life is more important than the outcome.
2. Your unconsciousness isn't your children's to inherit: it is yours to excavate. Being a conscious parent means you are increasingly aware of your unconsciousness as it arises in day to day situations.
3. Shefali demonstrates through her own experiences how to honor your children for their essential qualities such as joy, peace, authenticity, courage and trust.
4. By being fully present with your child, you learn how to make the simple moments count.
5. Shefali shows you how through your children you can learn how to really live, meet your children as they are being to being!
Read my full review!

"Shefali Tsabary's invaluable book shows how the challenges of parenting can become a great opportunity for spiritual awakening. Becoming a fully conscious parent is the greatest gift you can give to your child." ~ Eckhart Tolle, author of The Power of Now and A New Earth
