  "Listening to your CD is a wonderful, meditative, healing experience bringing us into harmony with body and mind.

  The music is enchanting, and the pace seems just right. You seem to know what to say and when, intuitively understanding the process and timing…you have created a true work of art."

  Sarena Miller

  "I found the visualisations interesting and varied. The rhythm and tone of Kathleen's voice contributed to a deep state of relaxation and the music created a favourable atmosphere for meditation."

Did you know that your environment has an impact on your moods, and that subsequently, your moods reflect on your physical image? If you live or work in an environment that is, at best disorganised, at worst chaotic, your moods will likely be stronger in nature and will gravitate around stress, nervousness, anger, impatience, guilt and shame. Your whole body, your facial expressions, your eyes and your actions will reflect those moods and affect your image and the perception people will have of you. It is therefore important to make sure that your private and work spaces are designed and decorated in such a way that you feel grounded, energized and happy when you are evolving in those environments.

One way to achieve this is by uncluttering. Let’s be honest, here. We all dream of an office or a home where everything is in its place, in which we can evolve without feeling stressed and of which we are proud. But often the task at hand seems so huge that the mere thought of clearing things up is enough to make us abandon the idea altogether. So we continue to pile up stuff to “sort through later”, to pick up one piece of paper just to place it a few inches from where it laid before, to keep an old garment to wear again when we’ve lost the weight or in case it comes back in style, and to open our drawer just to shut it immediately with a sigh. Days, weeks and months go by and we start to feel overwhelmed, without really knowing the reason why.

Uncluttering is not an easy task. You will probably need a professional to assist you, especially during your initial efforts when you need to get excited about throwing out stuff. And make no mistake about it. When you start throwing stuff away, you won’t be able to stop! There is this liberating feeling that accompanies the disposal of your unused items that is addictive. As difficult as it is to begin, once you’re really into it, it’s hard to stop. You will feel lighter, emotionally and physically and this will reflect on your appearance, demeanour and relationships. You will look and feel vibrant, happy and you will exude attractive energy. You will unconsciously be making room for something new to enter your life, so do not be surprised if you suddenly see new opportunities, offers, and people showing up unexpectedly.

If you feel that you are at a cross-road in your career or personal life, think about uncluttering. If you feel negative, have no exciting goals, feel exhausted or feel that you lost your sense of self, consider uncluttering. If you don’t like the way you look and feel, start clearing stuff! Holding on to the past is no way to walk towards your future.

When we think about uncluttering, we immediately think about objects. However, we also hold on to negative relationships, activities and habits. Uncluttering will help you focus and prioritize your professional choices and actions. Uncluttering will help you project a self-confident image because you will more efficient, focussed and happy! What do you need to purge in order to move on?
