" What would happen if you emptied that room and over the next few months brought in only the things that you need? How much of what is in there now would you bring back in? How much of that stuff that surrounds you every single day is actually vital to your path, and how much of it is in the way? We are integrated beings, everything in our lives connecting with everything else. When we feel like life is passing us by, like we’re skimming the surface of our own existence, often the best place to start is with our material possessions. Clean out the closets and and bookshelves and garage, sort out what goes and what stays. Be ruthless. If you don’t use it, toss it. It’s extraordinary how even small changes in your exterior environment can deeply shape your interior life. Clean, intentional physical space can dramatically affect how calm your mind and heart are.
