Spring clean your life!

Have you ever walked into your home and wanted to walk straight back out again?
Ever felt that after the space and freedom of the outside world that inside you can no longer think – no longer be creative – no longer feel energised?

If that’s the case then my prognosis is that it’s definitely time for a spring clean.
Never underestimate the space around you as it's important for many reasons.
It’s your sanctuary. A place you go to recharge your batteries – to think – rest – enjoy – entertain and pray . All roads lead to home eventually – so home really needs to reflect who you are – it needs to feel right – connected…. You need to be able to ‘centre’ in it.
However - whilst with a home you can literally walk back out again if you feel angst (You can go take a walk around the block – count to ten then walk back in again mentally prepared for whatever you need to do) - it’s not that easy with mental clutter.
Mental clutter is the baggage that lurks at the back of your mind – preventing you from moving forward. Preventing you from feeling creative and doing the things you really want to do.
Clutter that acts as a barrier between you and your heart’s desire.
Prevents you from being you
Some of it was put there by you – some of it you harbor on behalf of others. (Usually folk who have so much baggage they can’t wait to offload a little onto you)... but do you have space back there? I think each one of us only has just about enough space for our own junk.

In the same way you clear out your home – you also need to clear your mind.
There’s a saying that ‘if you haven’t used something in 5yrs chances are you really don’t need it so throw it out’.
Whilst I’m not advocating you do that necessarily ( as there are some things that will always have value and if kept in good condition can still be used) I would say however that if something is not supporting your dream/s - there’s probably no point in holding on to it.
For example – you think that you’re not very good at something – or that you always make mistakes... let it go
Another example is bitterness towards one and all… why? How will that support your dream when nobody cares? … Let it go)

Sometimes - you have to be ruthless when you have a spring clean – and that may apply to people.
By that I mean those negative naggers who refuse to watch you grow – let you go - prefer to keep you close – whilst simultaneously sucking your energy and creativity dry.
You may need to apply vanish to that one – let it soak in and rinse well.
Other things that may need a clear out is that feeling of helplessness - feeling as though you don’t - or can't control your life.
You really are in the driving seat. Obstacles will come along – and you may face a bump or two in the road from time to time - but you still hold the wheel…. Don’t let go of the wheel.

So as we enter into the summer and de-clutter our homes – as we paint and polish... take the time to de clutter the mind also .
Sow some new seeds and watch them grow – as they surely will If you feed them regularly – and don’t neglect them.
Seek out those who will nurture your dreams also – support each other and have fun
Let me know how it goes…
