Life Reflection
Spring is almost over, and I was doing some late Spring Cleaning when I realized that most of us will clean and declutter our bodies and our physical space but we overlook the importance of cleaning our minds. Here's the thing, your mind needs to be decluttered as well for mental space, clarity and focus. You'll feel more relaxed, replenished, rejuvenated, happy and peaceful.
If you find that you're having trouble dealing with life's stresses, and you need to sort out your thoughts, it will benefit you to use some of your spring cleaning time on yourself!
Here are a few tips to help you declutter and reorganize your thoughts.
1. Get rid of anger. There are many negative emotions that you can eliminate during spring cleaning time, and anger is one of those emotions. You need to deal with it and then throw it away.
• Ensure you handle it effectively rather than hide it away. If you try to just push it away, it'll just grow stronger and cause you more stress. Face your anger and make a plan to find solutions for your issues, or simply let go.
2. Focus on forgiveness. Focus on forgiveness if you're holding onto negative emotions. You may not feel that the person you need to forgive deserves it, but you deserve to finally be at peace. Think of it as doing something for yourself instead of letting someone off the hook.
3. Make a list of your dreams and goals. Just as you make a list of your chores during cleaning, make a list of some of your short term and long term dreams and goals. When you list them out on paper, it gives you something concrete to look at throughout the day.
• Post your list where you'll see it often, and cross things off as you accomplish them.
4. Be open to new ideas. When you open yourself to new situations and ideas, you'll bring a new freshness and more opportunities into your life. It might feel safe to stay closed off, but eventually you'll feel that things have become stale.
5. Don't be afraid to have fun. Spring cleaning for your home or mind doesn't have to be a chore. With the right attitude, it can be fun to bring change into your life. It's like getting a fresh start and you can focus on your new beginning.
6. Stop to enjoy life and nature. Learn to see the beauty in things that you've taken for granted. Take a walk and get some fresh air, or get up early one day to watch the sunrise. These things will give you new perspectives on life.
7. Focus on organization. Just like you would organize your house when it becomes too cluttered, take this opportunity to learn to organize your mind when it becomes cluttered too. Avoid letting jumbled thoughts overpower your thinking process. Learn to use a calm approach and deal with one situation at a time.
• Take some time out of each day to clear your mind. You can accomplish this through meditation, prayer, or anything that relaxes you.
Remember, you're very important, and more important than those other things you clean every spring. Use these tips to spring clean your mind, and enjoy your new beginning free from stresses and negativity.
To your magnificence!
