Ease the inflow of stuff

Change always begins with awareness. Awareness comes from going deep and connecting with what is happening. It takes practice and, most of all, time. But who has time if you’re in the fast-paced chaos of life?

But here’s the thing. The reality is you don’t need more time, you just need to hit pause for a moment and redirect the time you spend buying stuff toward reflecting on what you are buying and why. Ask yourself:

• How do you feel before you buy?

• Why are you buying?

• Is this something you really need?

• Or something you just really wanted?

• Do you have space in your home for it?

• How does buying this thing make you feel – during the purchase and after? 

Over the next month, as things flow into your home, I challenge you to pause and connect. Just observe. And see what you discover.
