Overcoming the fear of getting organized ... something really stuck me when it's really a fear that keeps us from not putting things where they belong, from not putting those labels on those boxes, from saving a file on the computer without giving the proper file much thought?
What are we afraid of? Why would be uncluttered be such a bad thing? What is the worst possible consequence of being well organized and prepared?
Clutter keeps us protected, and is usually a visible step, to try something while they are not sure what they are of our inner state of mind.
BUT when we begin to clear spaces, to let go out of dated, broken, unloved or unnecessary stuff, this is usually a cluttered and insecure on the inside. helps us to free our mind, organize out thoughts, take a deep breath and explore our new found options.
We might as well ... :-) This is some getting used to - but what the heck.
After all: No matter how much we hide behind our clutter, we will never be happy, confident and comfortable until we faced our challenges and found a way to master our lives.
Here are some tapping suggestions that will help you overcome those fears of getting organized and living an uncluttered life.
KP: Even though I am uncomfortable releasing my clutter, I deeply and completely accept and acknowledge myself.
KP: Even though I am very torn about being truly uncluttered, a part of me wants to bring the clutter right back into the house. I accept myself and my feelings about this.

Can you see how old things hold old memories, while new things allow us to create? if an item does not remind you of something that is positive in your life today - let it go.
