boreas,

For me, my environment does not make me anything, I make myself. But, creating a beautiful, peaceful environment DOES encourage me, and help support me into seeing beauty and peace in all things.

I am a firm believer in creating beautiful, supporting environments/surroundings to help support and encourage me to turn towards what I want.

It sounds like you need to do a little remodeling and organizing. This can be a first step in turning towards remodeling/organizing your self. Purging what you don't need and creating space for beauty and the things in your environment is a mirror in purging what you don't need spiritually as well as creating space for beauty and things in your life.

How I help myself stay organized is to have a place for everything. When I make space for my things (things I need, in my every day use) I also make space for things I need spiritually and emotionally. Starting with your exterior environment is a good first step in making space and creating beauty in your interior (spiritual) environment.

You can consult a designer or even read books on how to create the environment that fosters beauty, peace, and making room for things you love.

edit: I highly recommend this. Purging of the things you don't need and bringing in things that will help support you in turning towards the life you love. Organizing and making space for your every day things. It will bring peace to you as well as your surroundings.
