Surely this is a no-brainer: you are the House Creep and you are creating House Creep and you are the reason your house feels creepy! What a concept!
Bet you are wondering what this has to do with karma. Karma is all about balance. When you are the Creep and you feel creepy because of the house creep around you, physically, emotionally and spiritually, you are radically out of balance. Being out of balance puts you in a place of not being at ease, or being “not ease”, or the correct grammar is: in dis-ease. This is where illness begins. This is where you feel that tiny pieces of you are unraveling. It starts slowly at first, but then it builds. More and more negative things also happen both at work and at home and the feeling of being powerless begins to ‘creep’ into your consciousness. Finances also increasingly become problematic.
Things aren’t going well anywhere. You are late to work, late coming home, behind in your bills, not the friend you want to be and chronically tired. It is very difficult to have a restful sleep in chaos.
You feel as if you are behind the power curve and nothing in your life is working, all from a bit of creep.
Take charge by deciding that while you may not be able to change many things about your life, you can definitely change yourself so decide to be different! Take a day off from work and start to take your life back.
• Begin your life change in your kitchen, by cleaning it from top to bottom. Vow: clean up your kitchen every single night before you go to bed. A few dishes are manageable. You will now come down to an immaculate kitchen and start your day out right. The night before, pack a lunch and identify your breakfast for the next day – if you have a spouse and kids, this will pay huge dividends. Delegate to them: one person does dishes, one person dries and puts away and one person packs lunches.
• Next, clean your den/living room. Identify a place for new magazines and catalogs. Recycle the old ones. If you look at a new catalog and you know you will never use it, recycle it immediately.
• Analyze your home office area. Collect all of your mail from your car. Bring it into your office and vow that you will never open mail in the car again. From now on, you will bring the mail in and put it in your ‘to do’ basket. Schedule desk time/bills times. Do them once a month. This will save overdue fees and frustration throughout the month and ultimately give you more free time and a much cleaner car! A cleaner car, inside and out requires fewer repairs.
• Your bedroom needs to be your sanctuary. Find a place for some outside-your-closet hooks. One is for nightclothes, one is for clothes you just took off and one is for lounge clothes. Nothing will ever just go on the floor again. Your dog will have to use his own bed. Have a laundry hamper and put dirty clothes there. This system will save time in the morning so that you always know where things are. When you go to change clothes at the end of the day it takes the same amount of energy to put things away as it does to put them on the floor. The time you will have saved in the morning will be well worth it. Upon awakening in the morning, take a few seconds to disappoint your cat: make your bed! Imagine coming into a real sanctuary that is neat and ready to welcome you!
• Once a week or so, go around your house and just pick up and put away things that are out of place.
• Once a quarter, do your garage. Keep it neat. Tools will then always be available when you need them. Check out your car as well, keeping it cleaned out. Wash your car once a week if you can, at least once a month if you can’t. Every now and then, take your car in for just a checkup to preclude major repairs.
• Check your yard now and then for things to be put away, the condition of plants and the condition of your home as well. If repairs need to be made, schedule them.
• Take some time to de-clutter your office at work, as well. Often the first impression anyone gets from you is your desk and if it is a disaster, really, is that the message you want to send about the kind of professional you are?
The payback from this is that you will feel completely in charge of your life. Cleanliness is next to Godliness because it gets rid of negativity. De-cluttering your life will make room for new things to come to you. You have to make a path for light to find you and if it is horribly cluttered, filled with the daily soot of house creep, you will be invisible to the good things that can come. Become beautifully visible to all that life has to offer and you will begin to always feel at ease and blessedly karmically balanced!
