One of the things I dread most in life is shifting. Dismantling the things we took pains to put up and bringing it down after a careful process of sieving once every 2 years looked welcome, enjoyable and fun when I was a kid.
As an adult, the responsibility to supervise the packing, unpacking in the new house, putting the things in the right place, arranging and re-arranging till the house looks organized is no longer enthusiastic but tiring and back breaking.
It’s only during the shifting process we realize the amount of clutter that we have been hanging too in the name of safe-keeping.
Shifting, as we grow older is about de-cluttering – our physical space as well as our mental space. Along with the shift to a new home, a new environment it is shift in the mindset that makes all the difference.
