Any ex-packrats out there ?

He hangs on to things because of something in his mind. Usually it is an indication of someone trying to be frugal or saving something. Fear of needing it later and not having it. He has to see it as a pile of junk. One trick is to help him see what you see. What do you see? The pack. What does he see. The possible need for it later. Now it’s either he really does need it and is lazy to do projects, or he just wants to keep it for future possibility. If it’s for future possible use, he is overlooking the value of the space being overwhelmed by the junk. Build a confidence in the funds you have in him. This part establishes we can afford to buy what we need later and it’s not worth holding junk until then. Make him fall in love with the whole house. Like things he can do if he had the space. Love creates in the world. Narrow vision blocks the rest out. Its called focusing. In focusing he fails to see peripheral. So build a peripheral view of things so he isn’t so focused, or change his focus. These mental changes will automatically create changes in the world. THe changes people need to make are in the mind. The mind is in control. Change it and you change the world.
