To avoid, we venture out of the environment and initiate the “hunt” for the next find, or the next purchase.

By exiting the cluttered environment, we are able to separate ourselves, remove ourselves, from the stagnant or negative energies. When we exit into the non-cluttered world, it is literally as if our personal hell back at home doesn’t even exist anymore.

The process of the “hunt” ends up being complete escapism. By shifting our focus solely onto our next find or acquisition, we can almost assume our alter-personality. As humans, it is completely natural to find outlets that allow us to feel as if our deep-seated issues simply do not exist.

While shopping or hunting for a new addition to “complement” our living environment, we feel free. We are able to “join the ranks” of all the other people out there who do not suffer from similar angst caused by clutter.

As a side note, and as a business owner who assists people with their clutter, I am here to inform you that when you are out on the “hunt”, of the other people you see out there, I would estimate that at least 70% of those people are out there for the EXACT SAME reasons that you are.

Shocking? Probably. But, also very liberating to know this.

 We, too often, assume that this debilitating situation is extremely scarce. This is absolutely not true.

Your next-door neighbour may very well suffer from the same things you do. It is this limiting belief that causes us to ISOLATE ourselves from the outside world.
