Lesson 146: In The Last Few Years...

You may have noticed a declutter happening in your life or that of the world. People are starting to recognise they live with excess and this throws energy out of whack, or you become stuck because of how the clutter lingers in your life. Today we are to recognise what we have been asked to release relationships, objects, ideas and thoughts.

I have been doing a clearing course to clear physical and mental clutter. I have been doing it from the start of the year in line with this course I’m doing. I find that I have so much mental clutter, and I have learned and grown as a person to understand the situations I’ve gone through. I’ve learned the lesson, grown from it and then released any stuck feelings towards them back to the Universe. I find as the more you open to allowing some healing to occur, your life starts to unfold in a positive way and things start to fall into place. I still work on correcting my negative thoughts that pop up from time to time and have learned to love myself.

I think the one thing that can hold you back is your mind, so I became very self-aware on that I needed to work on. Apart from this, I continually to clear physical excess because I am trying to live a minimal life, using up my existing clothes or products until they need to be thrown. I want less of an environmental impact on the world, so I am more aware of this than ever. Part of why I’m vegetarian is also because I want to minimise my contribution on the environment.

I think I recognise some relationships needed to be released because they are toxic. I think everyone should surround themselves with people who bring out the best in them. You don’t want to be around those that don’t care for your best interests. I think as I grow, I’ve come to meet more spiritual people in whom I feel comfortable sharing my life with. I am growing spiritually and therefore have been seeking out those like me in order to learn and grow.

All in all, I’m striving to be the best version of myself and keep at it every day.

What have you released in your life that you felt you needed to?

Lesson 126: Check In WEEK 18 - Shining Light On Invisible Clutter

Today is reflecting back on the week gone by. The topic was around invisible clutter and how the not so obvious physical and mental clutter has a way of impacting us and that around us.

I think the web we create really opened my eyes to how much clutter we tend to keep without realising. I think we get so caught up in the web and if we do nothing towards clearing it, it then leads to that ripple effect. If we are being dragged down by some cluttered thought, then we might display that in our physical lives and then that impacts those around us. We are the creators of our environment, so if we do more towards creating a space that we are truly happy with in both home and work, then our energy lifts and others will also see this.

I sometimes forget that by saying something negative, someone else can hold onto that view and implement that into their lives. I think I need to be more mindful of how my words and actions can impact others in this way. My clutter should not become someone else’s. Except, more times than not, we don’t actually recognise that we do it. The biggest take away from this exercise is to be more aware how my actions impact others.

Lesson 97: Not Clutter

“Things that make your heart sing are not clutter. If they brighten your day, make your life easier, more fun, or feel supremely good...not clutter. Nor extravagance.”

— Stephanie Bennett Vogt

Today we are to breathe into this and reflect. It is a good way of taking on a clearing practise – whatever brings you joy, keep the item and whatever doesn’t bring on this same feeling, you can potentially get rid of. I think anything that doesn’t bring you joy would be stale energy just lingering about. Whatever attachment you once had, isn’t the same anymore, so thinking about items and belongings in this way may make the clearing process easier. Our space should be a reflection of the best version of ourselves, so it should really have items and energy that lifts our hearts.

Lesson 75: If This Object Could Talk

Today is all about being with the same object as yesterday and noticing if any feelings have changed. Is it easier to be with it or does the “weather” come back again. If the weather arises, try the exercise with another object that doesn’t stir up these responses.

I am to think about what the object would say to me if it could talk. I think it would say “Liana, why have you kept me around for so long. You don’t use me anymore and I am just sitting here not doing much. It’s time to move me on. All I am doing is collecting dust.” I imagine this to be most of those items that I have that I’m also 50/50 on. It’s time to be moving on.

Lesson 26: Move It

Today's lesson has me moving 1 item without judging myself as bad or the item bad. Just 1 item for 1 minute to move some stuck energy. 

I wanted to clean up my dressing table and looking at it made me a bit overwhelmed so I did something simpler. I washed the dishes. I tend to pile up dishes and then not want to do them. It seems such a simple task for others but it's really hard for me to do sometimes. So I just did it without too much thought. I knew I couldn't let it pile up any longer because I know I'd be overwhelmed later if I didn't. Apart from this, I also moved some empty containers from my bathroom. I also have a tendency to just leave empty containers in my bathroom without moving them to the recycling bin. The whole time I did those tasks, I had to tell myself "You can do it". And the relief I felt afterwards!

That's about all I can muster today. It's a public holiday here in Australia and I'm just tired at the moment. I haven't had good sleep lately and want to just rest today and not do much. The most I am doing is these blog posts and then Netflix. No obligations and just wanting to chill. Happy Friday!
