This morning I awoke to clean, clutter free closets. It was like a breath of fresh air when I opened them.

Over the weekend I cleaned out and organized my closets after they underwent a professional makeover on Friday.

It was liberating to let go of things that no longer fit me or my lifestyle. As the process unfolded it became easier to discard items. There was a sense of order. I even found a few items that I had forgotten about because I couldn’t see them before.

Our physical environment can either support us or stifle us. When our desks are clear, inboxes are manageable, piles are filed and we can find things, we are much more likely to be effective, productive and creative. There is a flow and energy that white space and clear surfaces evoke. Clutter and confusion do not weight us down.

I challenge you to create a physical environment that supports you. This week take 15 minutes each day to clear your piles, throw away those unread papers and let go or sort that stack of business cards you intend to file one day.

By creating order externally your internal self will flourish. Your momentum, energy and joy will surface and grow!
