You declutter your home and your office, but head and heart space needs to be cleaned, cleared and organized on a regular basis too.  

  What you carry and keep in your head and heart can stop you from being all that you can be (or just plain happy.) If you are miserable and can’t figure out why, it may to be time to declutter your mental space.

1. Learn to let go of old grudges. Life’s too short and uncertain to take grudges to the grave.

2. Unload or step away from your burdensome friends. Take an honest look at the people in your life. Break ties or change the friendship rules with those who don’t support you, or who are incompatible with your values and goals.

3. Take a break and stop being judgmental.Being judgmental can close you off from learning something from others. Don’t judge so quickly; listen to the whole story first.

4. It is OK to be wrong. You have to be willing to be wrong. Don’t be afraid to make the occasional mistake. When you do, acknowledge it. You can waste a lot of energy trying to be perfect or alway right.

5. Be willling to say I’m sorry.  Loosen up on stuborness. Don’t let a misunderstanding cost a  a relationship with a family member, friend or customer because you can’t say I am sorry.
