Lesson 278: What Clearing Is (And Isn't)
“We can only clear to the degree that we are in the present moment, have a clear intent, and have no attachment to the outcome.”
Today we are to consider the statement. It’s what has been taught in these lessons throughout this whole year and it’s good to be reminded of it. I know the attachment to items all too well. It is the attached memory that gets me good, which is why it’s good to be reminded every so often that clearing is all about being present – asking yourself if that item serves you in the now. When you do away with attachment, it makes it easier to let go.
I decided the other day that I need to do another clearing session of my physical clutter. I have been working on my mental clutter for so long as I felt like this was a priority. There was so much lingering in my conscious mind and subconscious, that it was in in good time. I even had a depression slump in August, but went back into myself to figure out why. That was solved by myself, a friend and a mentor. We really can be our own worst enemies sometimes, but I am definitely out of that blip.
What I do need is to plan a day of just clearing out my closets once and for all. It’s time to really let go once and for all. Well it’s definitely the aim before the end of the year. I just cycle through the same clothes at the moment and it really means a large portion of clothing can go. I will remember to sit with each item for a moment and ask myself if it serves me and if not, just let it go. it’s easier said than done but I really got to commit.
