Love It or Lose It
Every object contains an energy force. The energy we sense while touching something can powerfully influence how we feel. These feelings can influence our decisions about what to do with what we’ve just touched.
Some professional organizers discourage their clients from touching the items being sorted because often, intense feelings can arise from holding an object. This may delay the process of letting it go or moving it forward.
When we notice a client hesitate about whether to keep or let go of an object, we often ask,, “How does this object make you feel?” If the feeling is sad, angry, or negative in any way, it is important to explore why? Ask, “Will keeping this thing promote positive energy in my life or will I feel a heavy weight by hanging on to it?
Can there be a love which does not make demands on its object? ~ Confucius
Ideally, to enjoy a truly harmonious, uncluttered space, you want to love and make good use of each item in that space. If you don’t absolutely love it and plan to use it in the very near future, then consider letting it go.
Loving your things means honoring them and caring for them. Putting them in a safe, secure, practical place when not in use. Or proudly displaying them where they are kept dust-free and protected from breakage.
So ask yourself: Do I really love it? If not… lose it.
