I want to Thank Beverly and Jennifer for sharing their process in March. I was listening to their call while I was clearing my office space. Little did I know that they would talk about decluttering and clearing space so new would come. I have a area in my house that holds my files, creative supplies and books. There is room to create and sit with a friend. It has been a sore spot for me because I have needed to clear things out. On Saturday after I heard their sharing, I sat down with my part that was blocking the process. The trailhead lead me clear back to a time when I was 8 dealing with domestic violence in my house. I realized what I was afraid of if I cleared space and was replying that record in my head. I spent time letting that part know that it could release the old and find safety. Although I knew that I would be uncomfortable and have to release control, I set up 15 minutes segments to do the next thing with the intention of connection and calmness. Simply being steady with what was before me and just doing the next pile in front of me. 3 hours later, I had reorganized files, cleared binders, had taken out trash and posted my intention around my office. I can let go calmly. Calm is a characteristic of my true self. I had set up a wall ( through the clutter) to shut off connection from myself and others. I share this today because I believe it is important to “show my work”. Since Beverly and Jennifer showed their work, maybe my process will help someone else.
My intention is clearing for the month of October. I believe new will come as I clear the old. I am getting ready for something and I don’t have to be attached to the outcome. Just do the next thing of value and be awake in the process. I can do the hard things with compassion.
