Clutter Therapy
I don't especially believe in ghosts of any kind, or in karma (my life's too good to support it). But I do believe in this: improving your life by throwing crap out. I don't do it nearly enough, but have little question that it works. What is the silliest thing you're hanging on to?

(R)ight now, in your life, in your closets and in your garage and in your car trunk and in your brain and even in your desk drawer you have way, way too much stuff, far more than any one person or single family needs and, oh my God, have you even seen your closet lately?

Honest psychologists and good spiritual healers often advise patients with overactive minds and squirrel-like attention spans and problems focusing and problems sleeping, they will tell them not to pop some Ritalin or merely take an herbal tincture and eat more leafy greens, but to go home right now and, yes, clean out your closets. Clear out your clutter. Strip it all to the beautiful essentials and then keep it that way.

They will tell you that one of the fastest way to hot-wire your divine Camaro and reconnect to that feeling of cosmic wholeness is to take stock of your life and take stock of your body and see how much you've really got, and then purge-purge-purge. Get rid. Clean out. Toss old looks, old ways, ties to the past. Empty your drawers. Dump the stuff you're hiding from, that you've been uselessly protecting, that you've been scared to let go because it makes you feel safe and connected and more clearly defined as a human when, in fact, it's doing the exact opposite.

I have way too many books i'll never read. too many clothes i'll never wear, a super 8 film projector that I'll never use, and 2 old computers I don't use anymore but haven't been bothered to figure out precisely the proper way to dispose of. What's your story?
