Purge



Purge
When you feel like your life is a bit stuck, when you feel that you are on a hamster wheel and you can't get off, when you feel like you are carrying around too many burdens then it's time to do some serious purging.

  • Purge your spaces. Clearing and making space physically also makes space emotionally.  Donate those items you never use or trash what you've been holding on to but should be thrown away.
  • Purge your social media accounts. Give yourself permission to defriend, unfollow and delete any people or pages that are not bringing you peace and joy. Why are you allowing anyone or anything to stir up negativity in your life?  Remember - you are choosing to have them in your space; make a different choice.
  • Purge your friendships/relationships. Everyone person you surround yourself should be a support person, they should "get you", they should uplift you and challenge you to be a better version of yourself. If there is anyone in your life that treats you poorly, sees you as competition in any way or put you down for any reason - cut the cord. They are not serving your highest good, they are only taking up space in your life that someone better could be taking. 
  • Purge your career. If you are not enjoying what you do at all, well it's time to get that resume updated and move on getting yourself into a better situation.
  • Purge your commitments. Being busy doesn't always mean that's' a good thing. If you are doing something out of obligation, stop! They best word you could ever learn is no. It will give you your life back. It's a small word but the most powerful. Learn to use it more often.
Purging = freedom.  Enjoy clearing out your life in every way and making space for joyful relationships and opportunities that are just around the corner.

Let Go of the Old


Letting go means to come to the realization that some people 
are a part of your history, but not a part of your destiny.
~Steve Maraboli

Let Go of the Old
Too many times we hang on to our past.  We grasp it so tightly that no matter what we do, where we go, or who we meet, our past also becomes our present. We place it right next to us like a neon sign blinking "hey look over here, I'm carrying around my past & my pain" and for what exactly? Why do we allow our past to walk beside us in our present? It's simple; we haven't yet let it go. Well this is about to change right now - not anymore and not past this moment. What do you need to let go off in order to open up your life? What have you been carrying around with you that it's overdue to let go off? What burdens, hurt and pain can you lay on the floor and finally walk away from? Whatever comes to your mind first, is the very thing you need to let go of. Letting go doesn't mean you forget but what it will give you is freedom from the feelings that are weighing you down. When you hold on to old wounds, you hurt only one person - yes that person is always you and no one else. You owe it to yourself to finally throw down all of what has not been working for you and leave it there. Don't go running back to pick it up again. You deserve to treat yourself better than that. You and only you have the power to change your life. Make the decision today to let go of the old and leave it where it belongs, in the past!
