Yoga & Clutter Clearing
Regular yoga practice can encourage people to reassess other areas of their life. As the body and mind begins to clear and function freely so the desire can come to bring about a similar free-flow to other areas of life.
Many homes have become cluttered and littered with possessions, mementos, paperwork, unfinished projects, books from past interests and stages of life, etc. These items require energy and concentration to move around, energy which could be used for activities which are more useful in your life now. Many of these items also act as a reason to mentally 'beat yourself up' for things you have not finished or continued with. If you are able to accept that your needs and priorities have changed, and let things go, you make space in your life and emotions for things which fit who you are now.
Clutter also negatively affects your health. Cluttered areas are difficult to keep clean and dust may affect breathing or worsen asthma. Also dirt and bacteria tend to build up in cluttered areas. Most of us lead busy lives and cleaning fits in where it can. It is much easier and more effective to quickly clean an organized clutter-free space than one which is piled high with things to sort.
Some items may have become clutter because there are emotional issues attached to them. Issues which you have chosen not to deal with yet. Other clutter builds up just because you have not yet learnt to implement effective systems to deal with all the things in your life which you need for family, work and home.
Yoga practice can encourage the acceptance of change which allows us to deal with these issues and then to tackle the symptoms of these issues. In addition to regular yoga practices, there are simple techniques which you can start to implement to bring order and simplicity to your home.
