Today’s prompt: Take action on clearing something today either in your living environment or an old belief that isn’t serving you anymore.
This weekend is dedicated to helping my parents clear clutter as they prepare to sell and move. There’s a lot of opportunity to clear some internal clutter and drop beliefs around my parents and our relationship. This weekend will about honoring myself and them as well as my sister and her family who will be there…. Anyway, it’ll be about honoring us where we’re all at in our unique journeys. Beliefs I hold that my parents expect more from me prevent my deeper connection with them. Judgments I hold that they don’t respect my boundaries also prevent connection. They don’t need to honor my boundaries for me to uphold them with love and non judgment. I’m committed to staying in integrity with myself.
Isn’t this amazing. You are helping your parents clear external clutter and are aware that you can do some inner clearing as you do so. Talk about being conscious and aware and using every experience for the highest good. Freakin’ awesome. Remember not to make anybody wrong for their experience, including yourself:) The intention is to clear and heal. You got this!
I switched out my seasonal clothes and cleaned out while I was at it. It’s amazing to realize how much emotion I had tied to some articles of clothing. And it feels very liberating to send these things to Goodwill!!!
Could you give us an example of having emotion tied to clothing?
I think emotions get tied to clothing because of the memories associated with that outfit or article of clothing. I had this dress that had a very clear, unpleasant memory attached to it. I finally got rid of it so I don’t have to worry about reliving that moment each time I see the dress. I can move past that memory and free up space. It feels so liberating.
I know exactly what you mean Stephanie. I saw a picture of myself the other day from a few years ago and the outfit I was wearing brought up a flood of emotion. It was a good opportunity to let go and leave it in the past. Definitely liberating.
