Rhythm and Flow

I wish I understood the psychology of it. I’ll drive by an antique store full of rusty items or I’ll see a cable show with people who dig through barns to find old clothes, rusty toys and broken clocks and I wonder where will that stuff end up?

Furniture store catalogs give me peace. They show uncluttered rooms with matching decor and a few mementos to provide the personal touch . And while those photos undoubtedly sell a lot of furniture, I’ll bet that the environment those items wind up in will not ultimately, mirror the images in the catalog

It is difficult to be a de-clutter person and it is perhaps more difficult to maintain a minimalist lifestyle, initially. But the rewards are so valuable; more time, better finances and in many cases improved mental and physical health.

There is a reason to consider minimalism. Life inherently is a balancing act. And like anything, if it leans too far and topples, it takes a lot of work to reestablish stability. Debt is difficult to climb out of, a poor grade point average takes work to restore… But when your environment is clutter free and takes a quarter of the time to clean, when you don’t wast time looking for lost items because they are in their place, when your bills are few because you spend less, the transformation begins and you realize how valuable the journey is.

Increase the peace.
