Making Your Mark In The World

One way to make your mark in this world, is to make a snow angel in the snow. Use your imagination and hear the sound of your ski pants and coat going swish, swish, swish. Feel those arms and legs pumping back and forth. Are there snow flakes landing on your eyelashes? You'll have to get up carefully. Do you see that perfect shape in the snow? That shape is unmistakably yours. In your mind, you can see that perfect snow angel over and over again if you choose. Unfortunately, the real thing won't last forever. You can try this exercise outside right now if you live anywhere cold like I do. Make your mark and then let time pass. Eventually, more snow will fall and fill the void your snow angel left, or spring will come and melt the snow away.

You can visualize an organized home the same way as your snow angel. Having that image in your head to work from will provide you with the necessary motivation to control the clutter. Just remember, clutter isn't something that you can get rid of with the trash. It's like dust. You can remove it, but a week later its back again in all the same places.

There is just no way around clutter. Just like the changing of the seasons, from winter to spring, clutter has its cycle and knows its place. That fact doesn't have to leave you with no hope. Clutter can be controlled the same way dust is. All you really need to remove dust is one simple tool. You can certainly complicate your life and use sprays and fancy long handled, feathered devices that need more of your space to be stored, and more of your time to use. The truth is, you can also just use an old rag.

Visualization is a wonderful tool to control clutter. Using an image of a space that is so real in your mind that you can see it, touch it, perhaps even smell how wonderful it is, can effectively help you to remove the clutter and keep it under control. It's simple and doesn't take a lot of time. Plus, storing that image doesn't take up any space in your home. Think about how you can make your mark on clutter. Let your imagination run free, and if you have snow outside your home, get on your winter gear. Go create that snow angel right now!
