Spring Clean Your Life

Certain events in my life right now make it a good time for me to give myself a spring clean, physically, emotionally and mentally. It is a great way to set myself up to maximise the growth I seek, personally and professionally.

By spring-cleaning our body, mind & soul helps to put us on the road to growth and development. At many points in your life you may feel the desire or need to clear up things in your life, so you can undertake a personal spring cleaning at any time.

To fully spring-clean your life you need to work on clearing across the three plains of the body (physical, mental and emotional), dusting cobwebs from the body, mind and soul. There are things we can do today so that we not only maintain our sanity, but find simplicity and contentment, which will make way for living with greater purpose and balance. Learning to release those things that keep us suppressed allows us to move forward.

Letting go of all the clutter in our life allows us to focus on the important things. The trivial things are just that, trivial. But when I put the focus on those things that have meaning in my life, it helps me move in the direction that was meant to be.

I start by taking inventory of where I am in my life’s journey.  I deliberately look for the things that don’t serve me and letting them go. I dig deep within me to de-clutter all the negativity and to find the positive side of life.

It’s about making time to think about you, increasing your self-awareness, getting clear about what’s important and your priorities, then making changes easily on your terms in simple steps.

Look at everything in your life and ask yourself, ‘Are these things good for me, are these habits healthy for me and how am I getting on?’

The concept of Spring cleaning is to get rid of the things in your life that are “weighing you down”, the dead-clutter that needs to be swept away to make the best of your life.

You will be amazed at how much of your energy is invested in the stuff that is “lying” around in your life and when you get to clean out all those things, there’s a sense of release, relief and a notable shift in your energy. By taking control and ridding our lives of crap, we can make a more fulfilling world for ourselves.

Let me help start you off on the road to a good spring clean by getting you to Ask yourselves some questions:
