Are things just filling up space, or are they contributing to our lives?
Since everything around us can affect our energy, many years ago I became more conscious about what I allow into my personal space. I began asking myself a few questions whenever I was considering a new purchase, a new relationship, a new endeavor, as well as, reexamining things already present in my world.
Is this something I need or love?
Will this add value to my life?
For instance, I am frequently reevaluating my possessions and making regular trips to the consignment shop when it feels time to let something go. This frees up space for 'new' to enter my world.
We can even flip around these same questions and ask ourselves:
Is what I'm giving needed or loving?
Is what I'm offering adding value to the lives of others? Or am I simply filling up space: in this endeavor, this relationship, this conversation?
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 what we have filled our lives with, we can purposely begin clearing away what no longer resonates and begin surrounding ourselves with what does. This empowers us, feeds our soul, raises our vibe and enables us to live a most extraordinary life.
