Today's activity is all about decluttering our space and taking inventory of what uplifts us and what drains our energy. But before we dive into the activity, let's take a moment to understand why maintaining a clutter-free environment is so important for our overall well-being and productivity.
Our physical environment plays a significant role in shaping our mental and emotional states. When our space is cluttered and disorganized, it can create feelings of stress, overwhelm, and even anxiety. A tidy and organized environment promotes a sense of calm, clarity, and focus.( I promise it helps)
By decluttering our space, we create room for positive energy to flow freely, allowing us to feel more inspired, motivated, and productive in our daily lives. It's like clearing out the old stagnant energy to make space for new opportunities and possibilities to come in.
Now, let's talk about how certain items in our space can either uplift us or drain our energy. Have you ever noticed how some items bring a smile to your face or evoke a sense of peace and joy when you see them? These are the things that uplift us and contribute to our overall well-being.
On the flip side, there may be items in our space that have a negative impact on our energy levels. These could be things that remind us of past failures or disappointments, or simply items that no longer serve a purpose in our lives. By identifying and removing these energy-draining items, we create space for more positivity and abundance to enter our lives.
So, as we begin our decluttering journey today, let's keep in mind the importance of creating a space that supports our well-being and productivity. Let's embrace this opportunity to let go of what no longer serves us and make room for more joy, inspiration, and abundance in our lives.
Are you ready to get started?

Reflection and Inventory ( optional)
Now, I want you to make two lists:
First, I want you to list out the items that uplift you. These are the things in your space that bring you joy, inspiration, or a sense of peace when you see or use them. Take a moment to reflect on why each of these items brings positivity into your life. What is it about them that makes you feel uplifted?
Next, I want you to list out the items that drain your energy. These could be things that evoke negative emotions, stress, or overwhelm when you see or think about them. Be honest with yourself and identify the negative impact of each item on your well-being. How do these items affect you both physically and emotionally?
As you're making your lists, I encourage you to be specific and detailed in your reflections. Consider both the physical and emotional aspects of each item, and don't be afraid to delve deep into your thoughts and feelings.
This is your opportunity to gain insight into how your environment impacts your energy levels and emotional well-being. Really allow yourself to connect with what you've discovered during this decluttering process.
Once you've finished your lists, feel free to take a moment to review and reflect on what you've written. And if you feel comfortable, you're welcome to share any insights or realizations with the group.
Remember, this is a judgment-free zone, and we're all here to support each other on this journey of self-discovery and growth. So let's embrace this opportunity to learn more about ourselves and create spaces that uplift and energize us.
