Conquering a Move and the Excess Baggage of Life
By Chris Hammond There is nothing quite like moving to remind you just how much stuff you have in the hidden corners of your home. Things seem to procreate over time and that one small pile of papers to review on your desk now has another pile on the dining room table and yet another in the kitchen. The task of sorting, organizing and purging can be overwhelming and might even provoke a disagreement or two with your spouse. While moving is frustrating and is listed amongst the top life stressors, it can also be a time of purging your life from all of the excess stuff that has gathered. The benefit of purging is a feeling of freedom from the responsibility to care for the stuff. Oddly enough, our lives can become just as cluttered with excess activities, friendships, responsibilities or commitments and it too can use a good cleansing every now and then. However, you must have a plan to attack either the stuff or the excess in your life. Essential items.
