EMPOWERED LIVING
With Maria Erving
Time to open the windows and let some fresh air in and get rid of all the clutter and dust in our lives.
Spring has finally come and what better way to prepare for the summer and to enjoy the wonderful feeling of new beginnings than by doing some good old spring cleaning!
For most people this means decluttering our house and cleaning out our closets, our attics, our garage and other storage units we have.
We might even give our bodies a spring clean by detoxifying it and that’s important too, but what I want to invite you to do today is to do a spring cleaning of your internal space.
Most of us have not taken the time to sort out and declutter our mind-space and clear out what no longer serves us, what we’ve outgrown or weighs heavy on our hearts.
Our outside world is a reflection on what’s going on inside, so detoxing and cleaning up our internal world allows us to experience more happiness, joy and peace in our life.
I invite you to sort through that which fills your inner rooms today so that you can move forward with a clean slate and an optimistic and happy heart into the spring and summer of 2020!
Most people have about 70,000 thoughts a day and 90 percent of those thoughts are repetitive, so take an inventory of your thoughts and what’s taking up space in your mind and get rid of anything that is not serving you anymore.
Search every nook and cranny of your mind for the mental and emotional sort of dusts or cobwebs that are really all clutter and identify what your repetitive thoughts are and what is taking up valuable mind-space that you could use for other things.
Make new space in your mind in the same way that you create space in your home and office or clean out the toxins from your body.
Take some time for yourself and journal in a notebook and kind of mind-dump everything that’s been occupying your mind-space, such as worries, regrets and outdated attitudes and beliefs that are not helpful to you.
Break free from having the same sixty or eighty thousand thoughts 90% of your life and change the dynamics of your inner conversations by examining your thinking-patterns.
Many people are so used to having a chaotic mind, a monkey mind, but we can have a much more peaceful and fulfilling life experience when we take charge of the mind instead of having it running the show.
Clean out the old and go into the spring feeling happier, less worried, and improve the quality of your life by writing about whatever is disturbing your peace.
It can be about your health, work, finances, personal relationships, or anything else.
Writing is a powerful tool that will help you expel and purge negative energy from your mind, so write freely about anything that comes up and when you’re done you can then burn the pages as a symbol of letting go.
When you release the old you will feel so much lighter and you don’t have to carry it with you into the new beginnings that the spring symbolizes.
Some simple questions that will help you clear out the old:
Is this thought that I have really true, or am I making it up?
Many times our inner conversations are simply imaginations about something of the past or about something that has not even happened yet and might never happen either.
The truth is that we can never know what will happen even 5 minutes from now, and we can choose to learn from the past and move on, so why use valuable energy on fret, regret and worry?
Do I need this thought/belief/attitude, does it serve me in any way?
If you have to ask that that’s usually a sign that it doesn’t. If it’s not bringing you a sense of happiness and gratitude, let it go and focus on how you can love and be more loving instead, how you can give of yourself more and be more present in the moment.
- What do you want to shed and let go of?
- How do you want to renew and change?
- Who do you want to be moving forward in this new season of spring, and of your life?
Ask yourself these questions and I promise you this; when you get the inside right, the outside will fall into place, many times magically.
Life reorganizes itself to what goes on inside, so organize your thoughts and mind and see the miraculous happen!
Happy spring, inside and out!
