the value of space
what about the value of space?
mental space, physical space, financial space, emotional space, temporal space.
inspired by Hoarders S6 E13, they talk about the value of empty space. Andy Warhol actually did an art piece about the value of space too. when a hoarder clears out their junk, they realize the beauty of empty space. physical space is important. to breath, to be able to move around freely. it affects your mental and physical health.
mental space is similar to physical space, where your mind can become cluttered or preoccupied. in that situation there's no mental space to reflect or wander. having mental space is important for managing stress too.
financial space is the difference between income and expenses, assets and liabilities. being overwhelmed with debt and expenses is very stressful. but having more money than you need alleviates stress and give you options to invest your money, or use it, or just to have for the value of space.
emotional space this concept is a little more difficult for me. perhaps one way to conceptualize it is, the difference between positive and negative emotions. the gap between positive and negative emotions. a space where emotions are neutral. a buffer between the two. or perhaps it is more like the financial space, where you want to have more positive feelings than negative feelings. not delusion, but positive emotions like happiness, love, joy, hope, community, affiliation, accomplishment as opposed to sadness, hate, fear.
temporal space time. extra free time. free time as in time not obligated to someone else to do something or even yourself to do something. time to think. time to not think. time to reflect. temporal space to breath. sometimes, I may hoard dreams and projects. I hold onto useless dreams and plans to do things that I simply don't have the time to do. These become a burden, like a debt. So, like a recovering hoarder, I may need to just throw some of these dreams, plans, projects (things that have a concomitant time cost), so I can live again.
Often time, temporal hoarding may take the form of books. I have so many books I'd like to read, but will likely never get to. Furthermore, the obligations are preventing me from focusing on the present and more relevant things I could be doing now.
