The reason your life is so messy

If I had to pick a word for this January it would have to be “declutter”. It is popping up everywhere, and if I can trust my spidey-senses it looks like it’s going to be a major theme for 2016. I’m sure you’ve also seen the host of inserts, articles and even books focused solely on how to declutter just about everything in your life: your home, mind, diet, finances and relationships.

I’m by no means saying that this is a new concept, but I think decluttering has now reached almost spiritual proportions. Perhaps because the act of getting rid of the things we don’t need and tidying up the things we do is a mindful experience?

After all, clutter is often a symptom of chaos.
