Someday is Clutter

In my primary Intent, I say that I want to get rid of Somedays from as many people's lives as possible. But what exactly is a Someday?nnSomedays are the mental, emotional and physical clutter that blocks us from achieving our dreams.nnMental ClutternIs your mind always buzzing about with thoughts? If I were to ask you to answer right away what you want to do with the rest of your life, could you tell me? Would a million ideas pop forward? Or would I hear crickets because nothing came to mind?nnWhen we have too many thoughts going on at once we don't know what we really want to do. Having no ideas about the future means that you're not opening yourself up to the idea of ambition and growth. You're blocking yourself from dreaming.nnSometimes it feels like we have a million possibilities open to us or none, but the root cause is the same for both. Our mind is full of everything but what we want to achieve.nnIf this is the case for you, then you're likely suffering from Someday My Ship Will Come In which is waiting for the universe to provide you with your goals instead of deciding them for yourself.nnEmotional ClutternFear and apathy are the two main causes of emotional clutter that block us from completing our Somedays. For example, when I moved to France to pursue my dream of writing I chose to live in a very small village to avoid distractions. I spent a lot of time alone to give myself time to write, but instead of writing I often procrastinated. I would go for a walk, hang out with my cousins, watch TV, talk online, and play computer games. I would even clean! All because I was afraid.nnIf you're not getting anything done because you just can't seem to get started, then likely you suffer from I'll Get Around To It Someday, which means you let emotion block you from achieving your dreams.nnPhysical ClutternWe all know what physical clutter is, but why would it block us from our dreams? Well, think about it. If we are surrounded by too much stuff, what do we see? The stuff. And because we are such visual people, what do we focus on? The stuff.nnOur possessions influence our decisions. We can't decide to move forward and fulfill our dreams because we're too bus looking at each possession and coming up with a reason we might possibly need to in the future.nnIf you're in this state, then you're suffering from I Might Need It Someday and the way to cure yourself is to streamline your life significantly.nn(A side note on stuff – if you can look at an object and know immediately what it's for and when you'd use it, then it's not clutter. It might just be homeless.)nnAt some point in our lives, we all suffer or have suffered from each of the three versions of Someday Syndrome. In particularly serious cases, our lives our completely stagnant as all three varieties weigh us down too much to move forward.nnTake a look at your life – what varieties of Someday Syndrome affect you? What choices will you make to clear the blocks and the clutter that will cure you of your Somedays?
