Here in the south of France, spring is beautiful, warm and full of promises: summer will be nice! But after a glance at my closets last we, I’ve noticed that I wouldn’t go through the summer season with things that don’t fit me anymore. The time has come to clean my life, so I must start with the closets!
Think as if your home and your car were your body and mind (personally, I don’t dissociate both). It means that sometimes you must tidy up to begin a new era of your life. Maybe you didn’t have time enough before, or you didn’t think it was the time for… but now, you really need to clean inside out. You feel it as obvious. So do it!
What the hell with it? Nothing! You could consider that as the perfect time made to start a new phase in your life, a turn, felt as something strong enough to be seen as a big change coming. So you could begin with your car (easy to clean and fast), then going on with your home. Get out everything from your closets, so make a sorting: on a side, what you really wear, need or do something with. On the other side, things you didn’t use for more than two years need to be given to some association to help in depriving, or thrown. The more you do a good sorting, the more you help yourself to get exactly what you’ll want and what you’ll don’t want anymore. If ever you’re hoping to change your life, or something important (a job, a place to live…), remember that you won’t need all the things linked with the past in your new life. Obviously, be careful too: if you’re broken, wait for a better time to throw things, or sell them to bring back some money.
Cleaning your closets, your car, your home is like a fasting: the minimum is required to stay alive. You just need to eat less and drink fruit or vegetable smoothies to regenerate your body. So keep the essential of your stuffs and be confident: you’ll find a way to get new things, more adapted to your new mind/body in your new life. But you could understand too how fun it is when you don’t possess a lot: you can feel free to rewrite yourself without stains on the feet.
The first step to make a change is to check what is around you: as for your closets, your life will be better if you get out what it’s not good for you anymore: toxic people, your bad thoughts or bad habits, drugs, negative relationships, a hard job, a low self-esteem… Become the best friend of yourself, and take care of you as you do with your best lovable friend. Have a nice thought for yourself when you wake up, a smile on the mirror as well, and a kind glance on the reflect of a window each time you can during your day. Be happy to clean your own space, because you’re going to build it again as you’d like it to be, made with your own desires, hopes, dreams, things and people that will fit you better. Abundance doesn’t mean “too much”; it means a pretty good quality of life.
Become a new version of you, so why not this person you suck be at last: yourself!
Love,
