Happy Spring ~ Perfect Time To Declutter Your Life

Happy first day of Spring! With the beginning of Spring, I also look at this time as a time for “New Beginnings.” I like to de-clutter A LOT of areas of my life. Not just material possessions, but more importantly the areas in my life that no longer serve me, or promote my growth.

I call it a “Lifestyle Cleanse.”

The “Old version of me” used to say “I can’t” change my circumstances. And with that attitude, I was absolutely right.

But once I decided I’d had enough of the mental clutter, I had no choice but to to change my circumstances—I had no choice but to remove myself from circumstances that added to my mental clutter.

I stopped associating with certain people, I changed my spending habits, I downsized my possessions. I started with myself, and I changed my circumstances.

Over time, things change, and instead of letting them change on their own, I decided to change those things myself. Some of those changes were difficult, but the world didn’t stop spinning.

I stopped associating with a few folks who were negative and “drama mommas” and the world didn’t end.

When you look at your relationship to things —and the energy they contain—ask yourself if they promote joy, beauty, and usefulness, or are they burdensome?

What I know for sure: Life is about an energy exchange. Everything and everybody is vibrating at different frequencies. And you get to choose the vibration you want to resonate with and how to manifest that choice through your actions. Which is what I’ve learned to do over the last several years.

Here are a few ways and ideas on how to hit the “Refresh Button” in your life:

  • Relationship to self—good riddance to decisions that don’t support self-care, self-value, and self-worth.
  • Relationship to others—do the people in your life give you energy and encourage your personal growth, or block that growth with dysfunctional dynamics and outdated scripts? If they don’t support you as a loving, open, free, and spontaneous being: Goodbye!
  • Emotional well being– are you on a path of personal growth and self development, or are you simply living a spaced out life fueled by the drama of others?
  • Are are aligned, in tune and open to opportunities that surround you…or are you satisfied with living a status quo mediocre life?
  • Self destructive habits — as painful as it may be, are you ready to admit to self destructive habits and take massive action to change?

Stop tryin to “Keep up with The Jones’s. Part of what made my first business successful, (which was a landscaping business), and now makes my network marketing business successful, is because I NEVER TRIED KEEPING UP WITH ANYONE OTHER THAN MYSELF AND MY OWN PERSONAL BEST.

I am simply always trying to become a better version of MYSELF, not better than anyone else.

That goes for your life as well. Just focus on your own journey. No one has everything, so stop comparing yourself to others. You are limitless and have the potential to craft the life of your choosing.

A few weeks ago, I published my first book and it hit the #1 spot on Amazon overnight. In my book, I describe the exact method I used to change my thoughts, which helped me change my actions…which eventually allowed me to live my life the way I want to. If you haven’t had a chance to pick it up my book yet, you can download it from Amazon though this link.

Happy Spring and Kudos to you on making a “Lifestyle Cleanse.” 🙂

You deserve abundance,
