Getting ahead is as simple as tidying your desk.According to a leading expert, having a cluttered environment reflects a cluttered mind, but the act of tidying up can help you be more successful. The advice comes from Jayne Morris, the residentlife coach for NHS Online, who said it is no good just moving the mess around. In order to clear the mind, unwanted items must be thrown away to free your inner world, she said.Ms Morris, who claims to have coached celebrities to major business figures, said:“Clearing clutter from your desk has the power to transform your business.

Anything that is no longer used should not be put into storage but thrown away completely.Keeping something in the loft, garage or other part of the house, does not help because it is still connected to the person by tiny energetic li.nes, Ms Morris. claims.She said, The things in your life that are useful to you, that add value to your life, that serve a current purpose are charged with positive energy that refreshes you and enriches your life.

He suffered from psychotic(精神病的)attacks and imagined things that were not really happening. Art critics (评论家)believe that his unstable mental state is shown in his work, describing his style of painting as shaken. Some of his most famous paintings, such as The Starry Night, were produced during this period.Van Gogh is among a number of creative minds who suffered from mental health problems. In fact,mental illness is so common among famous creative figures that scientists have studied whether there is link between creativity and insanity(精神错乱). Research began in the 1970s, but the idea that an unstable mind could be linked to creative genius(天才) was already around in ancient Greece.Some scientists believe mental illness, in its more manageable state, gives artists creativity. Research has found that doing creative activities can also be therapeutic(有疗效的) for people suffering from mental illness. Painting, writing, or making something can be a positive way for people to express their thoughts.5 .
