The Surprising Connection Between Cleaning Your Sock Drawer & Law of Attraction

What does cleaning your sock drawer have to do with the Law of Attraction?

EVERYTHING!

Here's the deal.....

The way you organize your life determines whether you will or will not attract new beginnings, new experiences...whatever you desire to attract.

Plain and simple.

Many get frustrated about how to manifest what they want in life. They think they have clearly stated what they want (which isn't always true. hint: Name what you want. Do not be vague), they feel the drive to have what they want, go about personal growth, read some books.... yet still nothing. Sound familiar?

The personal growth is great. Keep learning, keep stretching, keep expanding. You will increase your capacity for more of the wonders of life as you grow. Just remember to get into the spirit of learning and not be enticed to believe that there is some key "out there" for you to find. You have all you need within.

OK, so back to the socks.

I've been working closely with the Law of Attraction for some time now. I've become intimate with the workings of this magical facet of the universe! One of the things that clearly needs to occur for you to create and receive what you desire is for you to make way. You need clearing processes so you can release old, limited beliefs. Choosing and practicing tools that keep you clear is essential to allowing what you desire to come in (note: Practice is paramount! Without practice, it's all just theory). If you have blocks to receiving, however much you desire something, the subconscious will not allow you to attract it.

But this isn't about that. It's about the socks.

There is another way that you need to keep clear. And that is with your stuff and how you organize and structure your physical belongings. If your belongings are not in an order that demonstrates you are ready for more, you will not receive it.


Make sense?

Here's an example of how this shows up. Money. Lots of people intend to have more money. Take a look at your current state of belongings and your organization.

How can the universe provide you with more money if your current state of affairs demonstrates you are not in the flow with what is? How you manage your affairs effects what you can or cannot attract. If you are not being a good steward of the resources you have, why would more come in?

You've got to get real with yourself. Do this with compassion, not criticism.

Remember, money is energy. Energy flows in and out freely and abundantly to sources that are clear and unencumbered by "stuff". If your stuff is not in order, you cannot attract more. To consider:

1) Do you have too much stuff?
2) Do you have stuff that you do not use?
3) Is your stuff unorganized?
4) Is your stuff cluttered?


If you answered yes to even one of the questions, you are blocking money from coming into your life.

What are possible indications of each of these states?

Too much stuff =hoarding, clinging or fear of not having enough
Stuff you do not use=not knowing the value of what you have, fear of letting go, holding out for another day
Stuff unorganized=overwhelm, scattered thinking, confusion, feeling like a victim
Stuff cluttered=cluttered mind, state of disorientation, waiting for someone to rescue you, fear of decision

**Many people think that once they have the money they want, the life they want, the joy they want- that life will 'come together'. But it's the opposite. You must get your life together so that the stuff you want can flow in! And I'm not just talking about money or material objects. I'm talking about joy, health, peace....qualities of fulfillment.

What can you do? You need to clear the way by getting organized. Some ideas:

1) Go through your things and get rid of stuff that you no longer use.
2) Give stuff away as gifts for those who will appreciate it.
3) Assess your essentials and get rid of excess.
4) Get organized. If this is hard to do alone, get humble and ask for help.
5) Create systems to keep things organized, simple, clear and fresh.

Oh, and clean your sock drawer. This all began when I realized that I needed to clear mine because I had all those "extra" one-sockers that I thought I'd find the other to use again some day. You know, those mysterious single socks that appear after laundry.

Anyway, clean your sock drawer and organize your belongings so you can allow for the abundance that is rightfully yours to flow in. It's there. Waiting. You just need to make way.

This makes so much sense to me! I've noticed a big change as I become more minimalist and organized about my personal possessions. The job is never 100% done however a little bit every day makes a big difference.
