Flylady Rocks


God has really been working on me & my clutter issues. They stem mostly from clothing. I have been recieving FlyLady emails for quite a while I thought I would share. Dear Friends,
What is your clutter doing to you?

One day when I was having a conversation with my dear friend Tracy,
she coined a phrase that I asked to borrow. Clutter is to our homes
as cholesterol is to our arteries. So I ran with it. Over the past few
years, it has been forwarded to me saying you have to read this.
It is so funny when your own words come back to you via the
internet. LOL

This is scary, so lets examine the similarities.

Cholesterol clogs arteries.
Clutter invades the pathways of our homes.

Cholesterol increases blood pressure.
Clutter causes stress in your life.

Cholesterol reduces your life span.
Clutter decreases your joy in living.

Cholesterol cost major money when you treat it.
Clutter pushes money away from you.

Cholesterol causes heart disease.
Clutter destroys closeness in families

Cholesterol is a result of over indulging in fatty foods.
Clutter is a result of over indulging in stuff.

Cholesterol causes arteries to harden
Clutter causes hearts to harden.

Do you see that we have to put our homes on a cholesterol free,
clutter free diet.

How do we do this: By changing our eating habits

We live in a society in which the one who dies with the most stuff
wins! Do you want your stuff to be the death of you.

Start changing you eating habits, by only buying things that are
needed.

When you bring something new home, purge something old that it
replaces.

Get rid of the items that you have more than one of.

Give away the things you no longer use.

Clean out those clothes that you can't wear.

Clean out those attics and basements.

Look at why you are holding on to things. Are you afraid that you
are going to have to do without. Fear and hoarding are signs that you
don't have faith in God.

Clutter was clogging up my pathways to the abundance. When I got rid
of my clutter I opened my heart to all the joy that life has to
offer.

What is stopping you from getting rid of clutter?

Are you ready to FLY?
