Surroundings

 “Keep your surroundings in perfect alignment with your spiritual thinking. Your space should be clean and every object given a proper place and kept that way. There are many things we easily allow to slip into misuse, disuse and neglect. But we do not remove them from our surroundings, such as damaged pictures, broken clocks, worn out clothes, empty containers, old medicines, and what not. Take time out to paint, refresh, and maintain your surroundings and possessions. Keep them trim and glowing, no peeling walls or drab furniture. This is as much a yogic practice as anything else.” – The Mystic’s Quotes

Clutter

"Clutter isn’t just the stuff in your closet. It’s anything that gets between you and the life that you want to be living, whether it's in your home, in your head, in your heart or on your hips.” — Peter Walsh
