A friend read the following article on Mercola.com and forwarded it on to me. It is a great article, so here it is in its entirety. Check out the website also - lots of great health information.
You may have read articles about how to declutter your home or your desk, but if anything needs decluttering, it’s your mind. While your brain is a complex and confusing organ -- and your mind is certainly not like an inbox that can be sorted through -- decluttering your mind is actually not difficult. You can sort through your mind, even getting past the scar tissue of old hurts and traumas, with these simple actions: 1. Breathe: Take a few deep breaths, and then just focus on your breathing for a few minutes. It has a calming effect, and allows other thoughts to just float away. 2. Write it down: If you have a bunch of things on your mind, get them on paper and off your mind. 3. Rethink your sleep: If you aren’t getting enough sleep, or your sleeping pattern isn’t ideal, it can affect you a great deal. 4. Take a walk: Get outside and do some kind of physical activity; it clears your mind. 5. Do less: Cross half the things off your to-do list; just pick a few things to get done today, and focus on those. 6. Declutter your surroundings: Having a lot of stuff around you occupies part of your mind, even if you don’t realize it. 7. Identify the essential: This means figuring out what is most important in your life, and focusing on these things. 8. Get in touch with nature: Looking at the ocean, a river, some trees or anything “green” can be calming and focusing at the same time. 9. Go slower: Walk slower, talk slower, drive slower and even work slower. All of these things tell your mind that you’re not in a hurry, and that you want to take life at your own, non-rushed pace. 10. Single-task: Multi-tasking fills your mind with a lot of clutter, without a lot of productivity. Instead of multi-tasking, single-task by focusing on just one thing at a time.
