A Cluttered Home. A Cluttered Mind?

clutter

I looked around my house the other day and had a bit of an epiphany. An Oprah Winfrey style “a ha” moment, if you will. I noticed that my life feels a bit chaotic lately and it shows in every single corner of my house. I remember reading that your home reflects your current state of mind and I remember dismissing it because my current state of mind changes like the wind but looking at it yesterday I was quite quickly reminded of just how chaotic my life has been.

When I get stressed I have a tendency to run. Not run like I run now but run like away from whatever it is that’s stressing me out. It’s a very counterproductive way of handling anything I don’t recommend it to anyone. When I started running last year I felt like I was running towards something and not running away and I began to confront things more directly too.

I’ve been sick for nearly 2 months now. Two months of coughing, two months of a horribly stuffy nose, two months of decreased tolerance for crap, and two months of not being able to run too much. All of this has stressed me out and there’s my poor little house, in the middle of it all, reflecting my mental chaos.

I am finally starting to feel better and it felt like there was a lifting of my mental state and I took a look around and I really got to see just how out of it I had been. So tonight when I get home I will give my house a much deserved de-cluttering and let my home properly reflect my life and my mind.

Have you ever been so out of it that you didn’t realize just how badly things were becoming?
