Living with a Pack Rat

We all know the rat takes the cheese.
The rat taking the cheese is really not the problem.
The rat keeping the cheese is wherein the difficulty lies.
The rat that keeps the cheese is usually also the rat that keeps the old magazines,
the empty cardboard boxes,
and the owner’s manual for the hot-air corn popper purchased in 1987
(and donated to the thrift store in 1992).
Does this hoarding little rat have a name? Indeed it does: Pack Rat.

If Pack Rat resides in your home, you are not an isolated case.
I am sorry to report the numbers are large –
households all across the country harbor these critters.
Now what?

Let us first become clear about our intention.
If you share your dwelling with a clutter-clinger the intention is not to change them.

We are not here to change each other
(lift each other up whenever possible, but not change).

The intention is to have a home comfortable to live in
where we are happy to spend time with people we care about.

To begin the process of releasing that clogged-up feeling in your home,
start with what you have some control over: your belongings.
I know. You aren’t the problem here, they are.
But if you look around, surely there is something you can release.
Some of those old magazines and catalogs were addressed to you.
Some of what is in that catch-all corner or back room is more yours than theirs.
When is the last time you excavated the hall closet?

If it were possible to look around your home and see only clutter
(everything else is invisible)
10% of that cluttery stuff is yours.
That is what you want to work on.
Straighten it out, put it away, throw it away,
organize a garage sale, or take it to a thrift store.
Move it out. Gone. Whew!
This feels better already, and you’re still just reading!

Here is the key. You must keep up with it.
Every day.

Do not do a great job pulling your little Rat Packy portion
out of the back bedroom to establish a new pile in the entryway or garage.
That will not bring the shift in energy you are looking for.

It is energy that will cause the change.
The energy of the belongings being removed from the back bedroom?
In part, but by far the strongest force of energy comes from
your intention to cause a change, a shift.
You have a different mindset: you know you live in a clutter-free home,
and you are actually beginning to see it.
The shift that you make within your thinking/feeling Self and your home
will change the energy of your surroundings.
It may not look exactly like that now, but it will.

When you know you live in a clutter-free home and you feel it,
eventually, everyone else comes to know and feel it too.

The energy that you claim will become
a part of the energy of your home
and other people occupying that space
will feel it and join in.

It will happen.

Ready for the delightful part?
There are no voids in The Universe.
None. Zip. Nada.
When something is moved out, something else moves in to fill that space.
So as you go about moving and shifting the old and forgotten,
new things and experiences
(more appropriate to who you are now)
will come into your life in a variety of forms.

Indeed, you may get a new ‘thing’ to replace the outdated ‘thing’ you just released.
But these changes may also manifest as something good happening at work,
maybe a raise or new client.
A happy occasion with your family.
Improved grades at school.
Frequent headaches are reduced to seldom.
How the changes will manifest for you I do not know.
I do know changes will manifest for you.
It will happen.
