What is CHAOS? It's

Confusion,
Helplessness
Anxiety,
Obstacles, and
Struggle

and it's caused by clutter of all kinds: physical, mental, and emotional.

Everyone is familiar with physical clutter: the teetering piles of paper stacked on your desk, the basement that's crammed full of stuff you don't use, the closet stuffed with out-dated clothes that no longer fit.

But most are not aware of the mental and emotional clutter that clogs up our lives and slows down our thought processes. The old tapes we carry around from our past, the worries about our future, the negative self talk we indulge in all contribute to our mental and emotional clutter.
