Are things merely filling up space, or are they contributing to our lives?
Since everything around us can potentially affect our energy and well-being, many years ago, I became more conscious about what I allow into my personal space. I began asking myself a couple questions, whenever I was considering a new purchase, a new relationship, a new endeavor. As well as, reevaluating things already present in my life.
Is this something I really need or love?
Will this (does this) add value to my life?
For instance, I frequently ask these questions while going through my possessions, which usually ends in a trip to my local thrift shop. Giving away what no longer holds value, frees up space for 'new' to enter our world.
Our energy is in a perpetual state of flux. We are constantly flowing, shifting, changing and expanding. So it's important to check in from time-to-time and clarify what is most important to us right now.
By taking a closer look at everything we've filled our lives with, we can purposely begin clearing away what no longer resonates and keep or add what does. This empowers us, feeds our soul, raises our vibe and leaves us with a comforting sense of well-being.
