Had a moment of “stuckness” today where I was unsure what I should be doing and I felt I needed to raise my vibration. I knew there was work to do around the house that I would eventually do so I just decided to start doing anything at all. And as I started doing it, I decided to make my decluttering tasks as mindful as possible and to just work steadily for 20 minutes on whatever task I saw that needed to be done. As I did this, I noticed I wasn’t judging the work I was doing. I wasn’t saying to myself that this job isn’t making a difference to the room or that this job isn’t as important as that job that needs the be done. I remember consciously dropping any attachment to outcome. I didn’t worry that the kitchen wasn’t anywhere near perfect at the end, or that I was moving from room to room doing little jobs as I noticed they needed doing. I didn’t care that those couple of rooms were completely ignored and still need attention or that the rooms I did spend time and effort in still aren’t the way I want them and there’s still work to be done. I noticed this way of doing things seemed to reflect the disorganized, chaotic state of my inner experience. Then I dropped that judgment, of both my decluttering and my inner state, and replaced it with a truth statement: the truth is that I am bringing healing, awareness and decluttering to things as they rise up in my experience to be healed…. There’s still work to do. There always will be. But my living environment became less of an obstacle to be overcome and more of an environment for reflection and growth for which I felt gratitude.
