Letting Go of the Past

This is something we all struggle with as humans. We have attachments to items that hold no meaning to anyone other than ourselves. According to Feng Shui principles, we can not be who we are meant to be in the present time when we hold onto the past. I worked with a client once who saved every article of clothing her children had worn even if it had stains or tears. She wanted to be able to give all of this to her children one day. These items will be outdated and they certainly were not stored properly. I convinced her to only hold onto 5 pieces for each child that were very special to her. She would be able to pass along memories to them as well. They were then properly stored so that time would not ruin them. You should go through the old mementos that you are holding onto and make the decision to move on. If you can display items that are of great importance to you and be able to share them with others will help you to live in the present time. Memories do not come from stuff. They will not disappear if you were to get rid of them. When you are ready to make the change in your life to move on from the past, call Clearing the Clutter to help you.
