Spring cleaning. It is a ritual performed by many in the modern world. Gives us a chance to deep clean our homes--clear the cobwebs, wash out the dusty cupboards, get rid of trash we hang onto in the belief we will need it again sometime. It's a chore none of us relish, but we do it because we know how it will feel when we're done. Clean. Fresh. Renewed.
Our homes should be our sanctuaries, but in the chaos of our lives we often don't take the time to weed out those things that are no longer of use to us. I'm as guilty as everyone else on this score (probably worse than most as I do have some horrible packrat tendencies).
The funny thing is, when I do take the time to weed things out, I feel so much better afterwards!!! Cleansed. Refreshed. Surprisingly, free!!!
The thing most people don't realize about clutter is, when you have too much stuff in your life, it's hard to receive anything new. You just don't have room for it!!! This is true for homes, and schedules, and even thoughts. You reduce the blessings that want to come to you when you stubbornly cling to old things that have overstayed their welcome.
As we go along in this process of connecting to our hearts and empowering ourselves to create better lives, I will give periodic reminders to Clear the Clutter from our lives. That way, we have the ability to stop and think and rid ourselves of all that is unnecessary so we can receive new blessings!!!
May your blessings be abundant as you create new space for them!!!
