Being free of clutter (Why Bother?)

Why Bother? (ifnotnow.com) Colonial Contest; Jen Bradford (Dharma Buddhist Meditation), Ashley Wells (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

Happiness is the way, so be happy right now.

As physical beings we need room to move. Controlled surroundings feel secure. The world is bigger than us. Why have uncongested (uncluttered) space.

Making a home requires the imagination to make use of our existing surroundings.

One great trick for getting our imaginations unstuck is to stop trying to think about the home we have. Instead, think about the life we live and how we’d live in some other house.

Then we can take the creative ideas we’ve come up with and apply them to the home we have. The COLONIAL HOME CHALLENGE is a Getting Unstuck Game for all of us.

Now it’s your turn. Imagine a family -- possibly your own.... How could YOU use the house? If you can’t find a solution for your needs, send us a description. If it’s really difficult we might try to solve it as a group! Why Bother? (ifnotnow.com)
