The weather is warming up and flowers are beginning to bloom, that means it’s about that time to put away leftover holiday decorations and sweaters, for some extra closet room. As we wind down from Spring Break and enter the start of the spring season,there is much to declutter in all areas of our life. Just as we tend to the mess in our home, sometimes our mental space can need just as much attention!
This is the time to assess what works and what doesn’t work, kinda like that outfit we’ve had in our closest for the past 9 months that we haven’t touched once. It may be time to just let it go.
The Art of Letting Go
Face it, letting go isn’t easy. Whether it’s letting go of people, habits, or those worn out shoes you’ve been meaning to toss out for months, we must be ready and willing to embrace a new chapter in our lives. It starts with removing things from your life that don’t uplift you or help you grow. Accept that you have outgrown this item, person, or situation.
Once someone or something has served its purpose in your life there is no longer a need to hold on to it. When it’s all over and done, your mind will feel just as refreshed as your home.
Spring cleaning doesn't have to be a drag. When you incorporate something you like to do into your routine, whether it’s listening to your favorite music, dancing while you clean, or treating yourself and the kids to some ice cream after all of your hard work, a sweet and well deserved reward and makes this yearly task a little more bearable. You have to do it anyway, so might as well make it something you can enjoy.
