If you’ve found yourself voraciously cleaning stuff out of your home lately, you’re not alone. Over the last few months, I have heard this repeatedly from friends and clients. There is an insatiable urge to clear things out of closets, basements, drawers, and in some cases, entire rooms. For many people, this urge is so pronounced and unlike anything ever experienced before. For those of you who are historically packrats, this feeling is very new and perhaps even confusing. So what is going on?

So many of our days are a simple continuation, in a never-ending loop, of our previous days, weeks, and months. When we focus on a particular area, like our health, our finances, our personal relationships, or our career, we start to see how small, incremental changes magnify into larger, lifechanging events.

You'll be surprised at what is possible!

For example, about ten years ago, I started to become more thoughtful about the kind of life I wanted to lead, the kinds of people I wanted to be with, the kinds of activities that engaged my daily life, and the values and beliefs I wanted to put into practice. I wanted to live life, not have life "happen" to me.
