Cleaning Out the Old/Making Room for the New
April 29th, 2010Today I cleaned up my Hotmail account. Believe it or not I had over 800 messages piling up in that account. This is not my primary account and is actually only one of several email accounts I have. But this account is where I get most of the news from email lists I have joined.
Although these newsletters provide lots of wonderful information I was definitely feeling “Information Overload”. So I deleted just about all of it. And, it felt SO GOOD to do this. I can’t begin to tell you how much it freed up my energy.
I have also been clearing out my closets and office. I don’t know about you but I tend to be a collector. Mostly I am a collector of informative resources. However, clothes rank pretty high as well.
What mostly inspired me to tackle my Hotmail account today was a message I received from my body. I was getting signs of physical stress so I tuned in for body messages. That’s when I realized I was on information and clutter overload.
So if you have been feeling loaded down or overwhelmed I highly recommend clearing out clutter from your life. It is emotionally, physically, spiritually and energetically freeing. And, you will be making room for something better to come in as the Universe hates a vacuum.
I also suggest tuning into your body whenever you feel stressed. Just ask questions like: “What is going on? What do I need to know? “What do I need to be aware of? What are you trying to tell me? “What is the message?” Once you get a message, act on it.
Do you tend to hold on to things? Have you ever noticed how that makes you feel? I would love to hear your comments and experiences. So please feel free to comment here. I always love hearing from you.
All the best,
Susan

SOOOOOOO true! Great suggestion! It’s also a great idea – when you have a fire pit – to discard stuff this way too! A nice warm drink (or cold beer) at night by the fire. Awesome.
Hi Sheila, yes doing a burning ritual is a great way to release the old.
Thanks for your comment.
All the best,
Susan
