I've been making some changes in my life. I'm annoyed by clutter lately, for one. Space clutter, time clutter, mental clutter, emotional clutter, even (especially?) spiritual clutter.
Why is my room so full of stuff I can't find room for anything, yet I don't even know what all I have. If I don't know I have it, I haven't missed it, I wouldn't know if someone stole it... why is it in my life?
I have the same hours in every day now as I do during the weeks that I have three hours of theatre rehearsal every day, so where did those three hours go since I'm not rehearsing? Why do I still not have time for any hobbies?
Why do I take on mental, emotional, and spiritual baggage and junk that doesn't help me, isn't constructive, or needs to be dealt with and gotten out of the way?
I'm trying to start a new lifestyle for myself. Slowly, bit by bit. I started by cleaning up my room. If I don't use it, it needs to not be in my dorm. If I don't need it at all, it needs to be given away. So far I'm making pretty good progress and I'm pleased.
I also bought a keyboard and accessories. I'm very excited about that. One of my endless hobbies that I don't pursue is learning the piano. It's hard because at school I have limited access to pianos and at home basically not at all since ours is lovely but doesn't sound so lovely. I bought this keyboard:
Which is fabulous. I also got a stand, cover, carrying case, and batteries & charger. Yay! It's partly just because I've wanted one for a long time, but partly as a motivator. I wouldn't let myself get it unless I knew I'd have a place to put it in my room, which meant I had to clean out a lot of stuff. Also, I want to be serious about practicing. I love music, it's relaxing and great for me, so it makes sense to make a point of playing music every day or so. I hope it will remind me every time I play it to keep clutter down whether it's space, time, mental, emotional, or spritual.
What is cluttering your life?
