Affirm-mantra for this week-clear clutter for clarity.

Clutter drains your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual strength .

Clearing your clutter will dramatically improve your mood and energy.

Clutter acumlates slowly and grows to a big pile which we later put off tackling.

This saps our energy as the nagging thought that work has to be done makes us guilty.

Instead create workable plans to tackle the clutter.

Tiny steps taken everyday creates big changes.

As the clutter gets cleared so does your stress and you are on your way to clarity.

So,clear clutter for clarity.
