Spring Cleaning
Clutter in our life is often a mirror of the clutter in our mind. Clutter has energy and can certainly drain and deplete us. Spring is such a wonderful time to clear away this clutter in both places. A good place to start is certainly in our mind. Just like we go through our houses and remove the excess and the things no longer needed, we can examine our mind and remove those thoughts that no longer serve or empower us. Yes, spring is a wonderful time to do this important work. The amazing thing is that when our mind has less clutter, so will our environment. Somehow we don’t seem to need as much "stuff" in our lives when our mind is clear and focused on what we really want and need. Have fun with your spring cleaning. You will feel peaceful and renewed in your new environment.

ReplyDeleteI am in the midst of doing my spring cleaning this week so this message was right on point for me from a literal standpoint. The extension to the cleaning the clutter of my mind wasn't quite as easy or something that I had considered before, but I sure do like the idea! As I think about those thoughts that no longer serve or empower me (one is dancing through my mind as I type), I like the novel (to me)idea of purposely not entertaining those thoughts. I don't HAVE to think that way. It is a choice!
Great Message! As someone who tends to hold onto messages - sometimes negative - from YEARS past, this is a good reminder. There is no room for unnecessary and/or negative thoughts when so many new and wonderful things are happening to me! Thanks to this post I will concentrate on making a conscious/aware effort to rid my mind of the old extras to make room for the newbies!
