Cleaning out Clutter Our living space is probably the most important space we spend our time. We sleep, eat, bathe, and hopefully relax in our sacred domain. What does your home look like? Is it so cluttered and messy that you can t think straight while in the midst of the chaos? When we have a clean living space and this also includes your workspace, it frees up energy we would spend trying to maintain balance within ourselves. When your home is cluttered along with your car and workspace it serves as a protection for you. It suggests there is some emotional baggage yet to be uncovered. Cleaning out your physical clutter filters down to your emotional clutter as well. It is a non-threatening way to begin to clear your stuffed baggage. You don t have to do everything at once. In fact I wouldn t recommend it because it would be easy to get overwhelmed. Begin with one room at a time. Have three boxes and label each one: Trash, Give-away and Relocate. Obviously, you know where the trash goes and the give-away box can go to your favorite charity or a friend in need. Now, what goes in this give-away box? In this issue: Cleaning out Clutter 1 Letting Old Articles Go 1 Making Amends 3 Opening up Your Schedule 4 How do you know what to keep and what to get rid of? Rule of thumb: If you haven t used it or worn it in the last six months or it doesn t fit, get rid of it. Old magazines that you just don t have time right now to read but will get to later need to be put in the recycle bin. Those clothes that you are waiting to fit into and the clothes that are way too big need to leave your closet. Use the third box to place those things you still can use or would like to keep but don t belong in that room and find another place for them. Stuffed away in the closet or under the bed is not where they belong. If they are special mementos and they mean a lot to you, keep them out so you can enjoy them. If they are from a past relationship (good or bad) that is a different story and we will get to that later in this issue. Make sure everything has a use and everything has a place. Release Old Articles from the Past This is different than cleaning out your closets, drawers and desk. These are the pictures, jewelry, cards and the like from your past relationships. All of these articles hold energy and a space in your memory which doesn t leave room for new memories to come in. If you have bad memories associated with an article release it with the intention of forgiveness and if they are good memories release them with the intention for this person to be well.
It is just as important to let the good memories and feelings go from a past relationship because that too holds energy and a space in your heart and memory. How can someone come into your life and have a healthy fulfilling relationship with you when you are still thinking of someone else and what could have been? Round up all those old articles from your past and place them in a box. Separate them into three piles. One for good memories that you want to release, one for the less than favorable memories you need to let go and then one where there is no emotional charge. Good Memories: Take these articles one by one and mentally thank the person who gave you the article and the memories. Say a special prayer for them as you release each item. Less than Favorable Memories: Take these articles one by one and begin to forgive and release the person and the memories that were created. You can burn it, tear it up or throw it away. The important thing is that you get rid of each memoir so it doesn t hold any space or energy in your psyche. Think about what you have learned from the experience and how it has made you a stronger, better person. Thank them for the experience and tell them mentally that you forgive them and yourself and send them on their way. When we hold resentments against others it takes our energy away and depletes us of love. If you hold someone else responsible for your misery, then they will have control over you and your emotions. When you forgive someone it is not like you are condoning their behavior and saying it is ok, you are letting go of all those emotions that rob you of life and love. You can then begin to take your power back in your life and you become free from the bond that holds you to them and the situation. No Emotional Charge: It is good to keep the flow of energy moving so instead of throwing away any articles that are nice and have no emotional attachment to it, see if you can give it away to a charity or someone that may enjoy it. The important thing is that you rid your space of any remnants of past relationships so that you can be open and receptive when a possible one comes your way. Often times we can attract what we want but if we don t have an open vessel to receive it, it flows right over us. For example, think of a cup full of water. You decide you like water so you want more. You think of the biggest possible way to get some water and you arrive at the ocean. There it is all for you to enjoy but you can t because you already have a full cup of water. More water cannot come in unless your vessel is empty. The bigger the vessel, the more water can come in. Hence, the clearer you are from emotional baggage the more incredible and enjoyable your new relationship can be. 2 Download this free short course study at www.markromeromusic.com/relationship.htm
Make Amends Take a look at all of your relationships and see where you could let go of past hurts and resentments. You are not able to move forward with your life if you are still holding on to the past. It is like you taking poison and expecting the other person to die. It only hurts you. When you begin to forgive you will find a sense of freedom and peace within you. You are not saying that what they did to you or didn t do to you was ok; you are saying that you are no longer allowing it to run your life. Forgiveness of others as well as yourself helps you to regain control of your life and to feel empowered. You are no longer a victim of the past and can step into a more active role in creating your future. This exercise is from Louise Hay s book You Can Heal Your Life. When you are ready to forgive do this exercise with a partner if you can, or do it out loud if you are alone. Sit quietly with your eyes closed and say, The person I need to forgive is and I forgive you for. Do this over and over. You will have many things to forgive some for and only one or two to forgive others for. If you have a partner, let him say to you, Thank you, I set you free now. If you do not, then imagine the person you are forgiving saying it to you. Do this for at least five or ten minutes. Search your heart for the injustice you still carry, and then let them go. When you have cleared as much as you can for now, turn your attention to yourself. Say out loud to yourself, I forgive myself for. Do this for another five minutes or so. These are powerful exercises and good to do at least once a week to clear out any remaining rubbish. Some experiences are easy to let go and some we have to chip away at, until suddenly one day they let go and dissolve. Open up Your Schedule So many of us have a jam-packed schedule and wish we had more time in the day to do everything. Guess what? Even if you had more time, your schedule would still be jam-packed and you wouldn t have time to do everything. It takes a conscious effort to maintain balance in your schedule at first. A lot of people take time management courses to help them balance their lives but fail to look at the real reason why their schedule is so packed. Consider this: Are you trying to avoid an emotional issue by staying so busy that you don t have time to reflect or be still? Do you think the busier you are the more important and productive you are? Are you just plain bored so you fill your time up with meaningless activities? 3 Download this free short course study at www.markromeromusic.com/relationship.htm
The first step to time management and opening up your schedule is to look at the reason why you have filled it up with so much stuff. This is the first reason to open your schedule; the second reason is very simple. What if you get asked out on a date with someone you really want to go with and you have to book him or her 4 weeks in advance? If you don t have time in your schedule to date than you will miss the opportunity when it comes along. Do you remember the full glass of water? More cannot come in unless you drink it. Someone can t come into your life if you don t have any time for him or her. Ask yourself and answer the questions above and uncover the reasons why your life is so busy. This will help you become aware of why you do all the things you think you need to do. Then go through your activities and see what can be eliminated so you can make room for future, more productive activities. Believe it or not, one of the most productive things you can do is spend time with yourself so that you are able to be comfortable with yourself and begin to know who you are. It may be uncomfortable and maybe even boring at first but if you don t like your own company how can you expect someone else to enjoy you?
