“Decluttering your mind means removing certain traits from your personality. You are born with certain innate behavioral traits – fear, anger, passion, possessiveness, and greed. These instinctive responses were indeed critical to survival once upon a time. You must fear a lion otherwise you will be eaten by it. Anger is a powerful survival instinct.”

“Let the thoughts emerge spontaneously in your mind. Think about the thoughts, examine the thoughts and slowly build on these thoughts. This is the time when your subconscious is interacting with your conscious thoughts. Your subconscious is feeding your thoughts, and simultaneously it is fed by the thoughts. In this state, you are neither fully conscious nor asleep. You are not dreaming because you are aware of your thoughts. Creative visualization should last about ten minutes daily. Develop a routine in which your meditation practice is followed by creative visualization. Do not expect instant results. The combined practice will slowly dissolve the clutter in your mind, and slowly you will discover the positive effects.  You can't dig through the clutter in a hurry. There is no shortcut, but the process which has been described here will certainly direct your life to spectacular success.”
