In the next post in our series, how to create organized atmosphere in your World, I am going to focus on overcoming negativity at your home. Organization is not just about where you place your personal belongings; it is more about the general atmosphere of your home. Is your home harmonious or chaotic; pleasant to spend time in, or emotionally draining? The whole point of being organized (besides being able to find what you need) is to create a more peaceful, pleasing atmosphere in your home or workspace! After you manage to do this, you are on the right track to your goal - overcoming negativity. An organized space feels calmer and lighter. A messy, chaotic space feels . . . well, messy and chaotic!
An orderly appearance is definitely an important part of being organized, simply because we tend to take our emotional cues from what we see visually. Just looking at a big, messy pile of junk can make us feel drained and overwhelmed. Likewise, a pulled-together, neat appearance makes us feel calm and relaxed.
However, it is possible to feel ill-at-ease even in a neat and organized home, simply because we put so much of our own energy into the atmosphere of our homes. Call it “vibes” or an “energy imprint,” or anything else – the point is that we leave a little bit of our emotional selves wherever we go.
Have you ever walked into a room where people have been arguing recently? You can feel the tension hanging in the air, can’t you? It works the same way in the places where we spend the most time, like our homes and workplaces.
This is especially true when we’re feeling emotionally overwrought, suffering from illness or depression, or experiencing a spiritual crisis. This “negative energy” we emit during times of difficulty or struggle can continue to hang in the air of our homes, contributing to a pervasive sense of discomfort and tension. People have even been known to experience physical complications like appliance breakdowns, electronic malfunctions or even electrical power surges – presumably because of the negative atmosphere of their home.
Clearing out this negative energy is a very simple process, and you won’t believe the difference in how your home feels once you’ve done it! All you need are a few simple tools and about an hour of your time.
There are no right or wrong ways to clear your home’s atmosphere. Below I’ll give you some suggestions, but feel free to modify them and do whatever feels right to you.
Tackle the physical clutter first.
Before you do any kind of energy clearing, you really should get your home as neat, clean and orderly as possible. An energy clearing will only do so much if you’ve still got piles of junk all over the place! Get rid of as much trash and debris as you can, put away belongings that need to be kept, file away old paperwork, straighten bookshelves, wash and put away dishes, clear the counters, clean the sinks and tubs, and sweep or vacuum the floors.
Pay particular attention to areas where clutter has been building up for some time. This step may take you more than an hour – in fact, it may take you more than a day! But it is a very crucial part of the process, so take as long as you need to do it properly. The effectiveness of your energy clearing will depend on it. Well I hope you managed to find valuable information and I look forward to continue our overcoming negativity series in our next post.
