A confounded person is paralyzed by mental clutter. Their inner being has hoarded stories and emotions of past and future. A confounded person lives under the pressure of a perceived heftiness, the weight of too many thoughts being juggled all at once. We all get that way from time to time, so it might be time to purge, to clean house, so to speak.
What’s in your life is never as important as the fundamentals of existence itself. Think of yourself as a house, if it gets too full, too cluttered, the house itself becomes vulnerable to disrepair. That’s because you may be too focused on the contents within it. You’ve got so much clutter, the structure of the house itself goes unnoticed, potentially falling into decay. If what’s in your life overcomes you, if it feels more serious than life itself, it might be time to reexamine what’s really important to you The rest you can purge or reprioritize.
When you get confounded by junk in your home, you have a garage sale. When you get confounded by life’s contents, you have to toss out what’s not helping you to remain healthy. The fundamentals of existence are those fundamental things that help preserve and strengthen the structure of your “house” – life, love, being well-adjusted, and safety. When it comes down to it, these are the simple things that keep you healthy, not all of the other things you’re doing. Downsize, simplify, and reprioritize your inner self. Clean “house” today and focus on the fundamentals of existence, it’s much simpler than you think, but it’s what keeps you well. If these simple truths are accounted for, take a deep breath, smile, and relax into your day – you’ve got everything you really need. Everything else is just clutter.
