Cleaning out. It’s one of my goals for the new year. Not only with my health but my home as well. It’s a cleansing of all the things in my life. I’ve needed to do this for so long. But hesitant to let go. Let go inside and out. Including stuff. The hard stuff. All the STUFF. It’s so damn hard. To “clean out”!
What are some of the things you’ve cleaned out this new year? I know this can be so difficult. To get rid of our things. Clothes. Sentimental pieces. Shoes. Kid’s art. That gadget you will use one day. Clutter. Clutter of the mind too. Relationships that are toxic. Your favorite funky jacket. Still holding on. To our negative thoughts. Things that rob us of joy. It’s so hard to let go. To clean out.
I started my cleaning out small. I’ve been following some amazing woman. The minimal mom and The Fly lady. Teaching you to tidy up, complete daily task, and minimize your life. It really opens your eyes to do those things in your spiritual life as well. Goodness it’s eye opening. That cleaning out helps you to also clean out the inside. Of YOU!
I’ve held back too long to “clean out”. It’s time to let go so I can GROW. Going through these things helps you to grow through these things. Love life lessons in the little things.
This is going to be the best year yet. Not because I’m going to finally check off all goals and resolutions. It’s because I’m finally realizing that the small accomplished goals of “cleaning out” is exactly what I needed all along! One day at a time. Even if you are feeling a mess. On top of the world. Barely holding on. Let’s do this. Together. With His strength. Grace. and HIM in the center!
