~Next Level Spring Cleaning! ~
Curate Quiet Time For A Clutter-free Mind
When we think of spring cleaning, we think of clearing out closets, the garage, and deep cleaning parts of the home that were a bit neglected through winter, like windows and other outdoor areas.
I'd like to also suggest that you consider a spring cleaning for the mind…
What does that mean? I mean to be open to a whole new level of removing things that you do not need and that do not serve a purpose. I mean to take some time to remove distractions and junk.
Mind junk is usually your "guilty pleasures" that you watch, listen to, or engage in. Think of the vloggers, podcasters, news channels, reality TV that is dramatic, gossipy, shocking, or fear-based.
These types of "programs" do just that; unbeknownst to most people, they are programming you to stress and fear, putting you in a low vibe that is so detrimental to your clarity and wellness, and more.
Maybe you refrain from junk TV, but you are one of those people who have to have music or television on in the background all the time. Even if it's good stuff, you are bombarding your mind with information. Our mind requires periods of silence and calm to restore and regenerate.
This spring, I'd like to offer you the concept of 'de-teching,' a detox for the mind. Simply "unplug" by turning off technology and enjoying the natural sounds of your environment. Some people literally go through a sort of “withdrawal” so I suggest you ease into this. Start by taking a brief 10-minute break and work your way up to an hour. You will see doing this will really help relieve anxiety and stress. It is especially beneficial to do a short break mid-day and a long one just before sleep.
You will be amazed at how well you can concentrate, sleep, and feel overall. If you really enjoy the benefits of these breaks, consider carving out some time daily for this practice.
Feng Shui For Your Body.
While we often think of Feng Shui as the art of arranging our homes for optimal energy flow, consider this: what if
we could apply those same principles of balance, flow, and intention to our to our primary home, our body?
This might be a Spring cleaning of energy you haven't yet considered – an internal Feng Shui that can profoundly impact your well-being.
Let's explore this by looking at three fundamental ways to "Feng Shui" your body:
Take your time getting in the flow of these practices. Really tune in to the positive changes that occur and enjoy those benefits.
Spring Clean "Soul Clutter"
Just like physical clutter can weigh down your home, and the things you put into your mind and body can make you sluggish and depleted of energy, any unresolved anger, resentment, and bitterness you accumulate creates a heavy and toxic inner environment. It builds up in your heart and mind and becomes what I call "soul clutter" and can literally block the flow of positive energy, joy, and peace within you.
So, how do we embark on this type of Spring Cleaning?
We do this through forgiveness.
In the most basic description, forgiveness is the letting go
of hurt, anger, painful memories and events to giving space to healing, compassion, and understanding.
Here are a few steps you can apply to get into next level Spring Cleaning:
I know that when you get into the practice of forgiveness you will be creating space for joy, peace, and healing will blossom within you. When you let go of the past and focus on the present, your inner load will lighten giving you a renewed sense of freedom
