With the New Year just about here, I like to declutter and downsize. And not just broken Christmas ornaments, old toys, clothes that don't fit. I go deeper. This is what I'm doing now:
Reconnecting with an old high school friend.
Letting go of a dead friendship.
Welcoming new people in my life.
Stepping away from a toxic person.
Clearing my mind of failures, disappointments, and hurts.
Opening my consciousness to possibilities, opportunities, and challenges.
Throwing away a manuscript that won't work.
Freeing a new idea to develop.
Learning to accept new views and differences.
Refusing to harbor outdated or hurtful opinions.
It's not easy, and I won't accomplish them all. Kind of like cleaning out the refrigerator- looks good for a while, but it's something that has to be done over and over. Even if you hate it, it's got to be done-and when you finish, you feel a sense of accomplishment.
So in 2016, I'm ready to forge ahead with a clean(er) slate.
Be careful, stay healthy and safe, look forward.
