Do you know the real problem behind clutter? It’s the way we shop! I remember one client who had what I call the “what if” syndrome. As we were working to Feng Shui her home, we reviewed all her clutter and discovered that 90% of it were things she purchased that she didn’t really need. It was nice stuff but bought at discount prices. She felt obligated to buy because it was such a great price, but she didn’t need it. It was to the point where her grand-daughter would come over and “shop” her house and one time she even brought a friend! That’s how bad the excessive purchases and clutter became. Together, we dug deeper to see how this was impacting her. Financially it was costing her and in her space, it was causing severe clutter issues.
Once she saw how this pattern was impacting her life, she agreed to buy only things she loved, needed and served her a purpose. This powerful breakthrough helped to break her pattern. Now she could have more money to travel, something she loves and creates her own craft room with all the space she has by discarding all the stuff she doesn’t need.
So to help you become a better shopper. Check out this Shopping Checklist that I’ve created for you.
