I, exactly, know what you mean by that.
I feel the most Liberated and Free and intelligent and bright...when I throw stuff away around my room and home that I don't need or use or want. Ready to Soak up New life, and experiences and moments and thoughts.
Having cluttered living quarters with old, dusty, stuff around is similar to seeing a clogged toilet. It just darkens and sours your mood, personality and mind and face and eyes.
Another rather profound trick...is to rearrange furniture in a room every three weeks or so. Rearranging the room around, can truly breathe new life into you.
