Even before I knew anything about Feng Shui, my step-father used to tell me that the mess in my room was a reflection of what is in my mind. Then I married a woman who was obsessed with cleanliness and having everything in it's place, which drove me nuts. Well, now she's not so obsessed and I'm not so lazy to clean up and we get along much better. I guess it's just finding your comfort zone and reaching a balance.

does clutter in your basement also affect your chi? Our basement is jammed packed and curious to how that affects us. Is it just because we know it is there?

Clutter is bad no matter where you have it! If you need to store things in your basement, then store them. Don't just dump stuff there and leave it. Invest in some shelving and storage bins. Get three big boxes and mark them "Keep", "Give Away" and "Toss". Maybe you need a "Sell" box, too. Sort stuff out, mark the bins and put them in some sort of order. If you make a "Sell" box, then hold a sale within a week or list stuff on E-Bay right away. Don't let yourself delay.

I need to do that...get rid of the kids for a weekend or work through a box a night. But it is hard...because I hate to be down there, so yes...it is to the point where I just dump it down there. We can't find anything when we need it and have to buy another.

Yeah, mucking through a job like that isn't easy. When I was your age, a job like that was the last thing on my list. Hauling kids here and there, shopping, cooking, laundry, etc. always had to come first. (Sigh!)

Visualize the space the way you want it to be. Keep that picture in mind. That'll make it a little easier.

Who knows? Maybe you'll actually find a way to enjoy the basement, once it's organized.
