Spring Clean your Life!!!

Well, I don't know about you but each time the rain falls as heavy as it is now, I am always reminded of what I would want to have washed away with the cleansing rain. You know that wonderful message April showers bring May flowers...... so even though we are out of the winter woods we still have some work to do before we can reap our beautiful May flowers.

So I have created the following questions for you to ponder over the next few days to get your closer to your vision of what those May flowers might look like?

Do You Need to “Spring Clean” Your Life?

1. Take a look at what might be bugging you, bothering you or simply frustrating you right now-and get clear on what you REALLY are looking for from life right now.

2.Take a look at your daily success habits. What are the rituals, and daily habits that do seem to be working right now driving you closer to your goals, dreams and wishes? Take note and keep doing it.

3. Take notice of what is draining your energy-We know that familiar feeling-putting your energy into something that does not help you bounce back but instead sucks the life force from you. Try and limit those things as much as possible-be aware of how much time is spent in this "way of being"

4. Release and let go of what is draining you. Affirm to give it up to the universe and then let it go.

5. Detox your toxic relationships. Create and find ways to boost the relationships that support and energize you and reduce the time spent in the ones that drain you. Know your limits and boundaries.

6. Like Nike says "Just do it" Take care of the things that have been hanging around that you need to clear out of the way. Lots of times we wait for everything to line up just so, or for the sign from the universe to know that it is time to act, and then of course we also have in our minds how we want things to be before we make a move "to just do it." The bottom line is there really is no right or wrong time to start anything-I mean yes we can consult the stars, and the local gypsy teller and wait until the end of the week or month or year to...... but it is truly as simple as you saying and affirming that you are "ready" when you are ready the shift happens-but if you do not put any effort into being ready-then you never will be. I have lived so much by this mantra and every time it is right on.

7. What is your vision for the month, two months? three months? Now that you’ve done your spring clean – you need to know what you’re working towards, what flowers do you want to see come up? What do you want to be creating now that all the "other stuff" is out of the way.

 What are your goals? If you are stuck here, I would be happy to work with you to pull everything together. We will set 3 goals and actions to achieve your vision.

Happy Spring and What it Brings!

Hello Everyone

If you are anything like me you realize that with each new season comes new responsibilities. Many of us have been taught that with Spring comes Spring Cleaning! For some this can be a wonderful creative and liberating process, for others it is simply a drag. For me, the Spring cleaning bug always seems to bite me at the first of the year as I make way for new opportunities and new growth for the coming year so by the time Spring finally does roll around I can dig a little deeper and let go of more "Stuff and Baggage" that has been weighing me down. It is kind of like raking the leaves away from the fall to prepare to plant new seeds for the Spring and Summer.

I am always amazed at how each time I get rid of something physically-there is such a relief emotionally as if a weight is being lifted off my shoulders. With our recent life changes on the rise-I have been finding that everything that I pick up or touch has to have a place-I will be darned if I am going to handle something two or three times before it finds its place. My time is precious to me and while I want to be here sorting out all my "stuff" I also want to make sure that I am utilizing my time well. So I have set aside three stations that I have been working with. -

A box that holds things to give away to friends, family and church members,
Recycling bins  for throwing away-piles of paper, magazines, broken things and of course garbage.
Containers, Boxes and Bags  of things that are special and meaningful and going with us to our next home.

Call me crazy but this process is working out really well. I enjoy the ease and time it takes to be able to go through these things-As soon as I pick an item up-I know where it is going to go and "the putting it in the right place" is very liberating and rewarding to me.

We can consider this same kind of filtering to be used during our day as things come up for us to look at. For example:
*That which needs to be thrown away-You may simply have no use for anymore-It does not serve you-this could be thoughts, ideas, words, actions, habits etc...

*That which you want to keep-May deserve some time to explore and go deeper with.

*And that which needs to be given away-Is simply telling you that whether you have dreams, wishes, desires or worries, concerns and changes that you want to make-You would do a lot better if you would just let some one else in to help you with it, to share the heavy load or to support your dream, wish and or idea. 

When we do that-Spring Cleaning takes on a bigger meaning-Out with the old-In with the new-Sweeping away the dust and cobwebs to shine up the surface for something wonderful that is already there to be seen in a new light.

With that being said-I am really looking forward to putting more inspirational, empowering and enlightening little articles up here for you!

Warm Spring Blessings,
