Chapter 31: Uncluttering and Tolerations go hand in hand –
A real life Example
“Clutter is nothing more than postponed decisions.”
Barbara Hemphill
Uncluttering and Tolerations go hand in hand. I have here a real life example of
my client Lawrence, who describes what happened during the process: "
When I
went through the process of uncluttering my life, it was like I was creating a new
sense of freedom for myself. Before I understood what cluttering is, I had been
going through life picking up so many bad habits and discouraging thoughts
along the way... They weren't the type of habits like a vice, for example, smoking
or drinking. They were more like small tolerations that were seemingly
insignificant to begin with, but as I gained more and more of them in my life and
just accepted them as something I couldn't change, they grew heavier until I was
very weighed down. These tolerations made me feel like I was moving like a
sloth. Things like procrastination, lack of sleep, not gaining fulfillment from my
work, getting used to take-out food too often, beating myself up for not achieving
more success...Somewhere along the way I lost sight of my goals in life and I just
allowed these tolerations to clutter things up to the point that I felt stuck.
When my coach Marc introduced the idea of uncluttering to me, it was truly a
revelation. I understood what it meant immediately, but I just didn't know why I
was this way or how to fix it and climb out of the hole. With the tools that Marc
helped to equip me with, I can now recognize my tolerations and work on
unloading them. I've identified the ones that I could quickly fix and have gotten
rid of them: fixing the window sill that wouldn't open, hanging up the paintings
that I left in storage when I moved, replacing my old mattress that was not so
comfortable. I also recognize the tolerations that will take more time to resolve,
and I work on them all the time, like challenging myself more at work and
getting gratification from that productivity. I've written down all of them to keep
track of and to hold myself accountable, and I write down new tolerations as I
identify them along the way.
Uncluttering the tolerations in my life, that were jumbled together in my mind
and slowing me down, has made me feel like I am 10x lighter now. I have more
energy, more spirit, and more enthusiasm. And as I uncluttered the tolerations, I
found that my physical surroundings became uncluttered as well. My apartment
is cleaner and more open, so I feel like I'm in a clutter-free environment at
home."
