We think of spring cleaning as a time we can throw open the windows, clear out the stale air, let the sun light fill our rooms and feel a renewed sense of clean and fresh as we head into the warmer months of the year.
Today let's consider spring cleaning more than just our rugs and closets.
Today I want to spring clean my mind.
I have lots of cob webs to clear out.
Those dark corners where old limiting beliefs collect and seem to attach themselves for a firmer hold.
I want to shake out the judgments that keep me from showing up 100% as the strong, capable person that I know my authentic self to be.
I plan to scrub some of the grunge off of those long held dreams that I have allowed to remain dormant for far too long - I will clean them off, fluff them up and hang them out where I can see them lit up by the sun.
What do you want to spring clean today? Are there limiting beliefs lurking in the dark recesses of your mind? Do they get in the way of you living your ideal life? Do they hold you back from being that big bold beautiful YOU? One way to sweep that dusty grime away is to fill your life with positive affirmations and gratitude.
Like attracts like, be grateful for what is good in your life, recognize that things happen in our lives in order for us to be prepared, to be in the right place for the things we are attracting to us.
But, as in the quote in the sidebar says, it all depends on what you are looking for.
Do you have a dream that you have always wanted to fulfill but have put it away until...
the kids got bigger, the house was paid off, the time was right...
Today I encourage you to take five minutes to sit back and visualize what your life would be like if you achieved that dream.
Just five minutes - today.
What is it about the dream that excites you? Is it really the dream the way you have always pictured it or is it something that the dream will allow you to be do or have? What I mean is if you have always dreamed of being a millionaire is it being a millionaire that is the end result you desire or the house you would live in or the things you would be able to do with your money? Then take the next week to get clear on what your dream really is, each day take it out, polish it up a little, look at all sides of it and set it up where you can see it clearly.
When we are clear on our dreams, and keep them in our line of vision they become much more achievable.
As the sun shines, the days get warmer and longer, let's do a little spring cleaning...
off to the trash heap with those limiting beliefs, sweep those judgments out the door, shine up those forgotten or neglected dreams.
Open the windows wide and let your fresh potential shine into the darkest corners, and the breeze of excitement blow any doubts away.
Happy spring cleaning!
