We love our "stuff". We tend to hold onto it year after year. We save and stock up on things that we don't know what to do with anymore, creating needless clutter in our lives and homes. We my keep things because they hold precious memories of days gone by, or they remind us of our parents, grandparents, past loves or childhood. To part with these precious possessions makes us feel like we are dismissing the past, the memories, as though they are not important. But we do not need their physical presence in our current lives.
There is a saying that goes, "You have to get rid of the old to make way for the new." And if you think about it, it is true. Especially in our personal relationships. We must have a clear path for new good things to arrive. If you are feeling stuck or stagnant in your life, try spring-cleaning; in your home, mind and body. Throw out some of that stuff, say goodbye to your past and welcome the new energy of your happy, healthy future. Try these three ideas:
For good mental and physical health, we actually have two "houses" that need to be spring-cleaned: our physical homes and our physical bodies. Just as we accumulate "stuff" in the form of outgrown clothes, magazines, rusty bicycles, tools and random keepsakes, so do our bodies accumulate old food residues and toxins that need to be cleaned out. Particularly in the spring season.
