The other day I found myself feeling a little out of sorts and kind of cranky.
Then I noticed that my apartment was starting to get messy—piles of papers were forming all over my small space and dust bunnies were gathering under my book cases.
So I took some time to straighten things up and put things away and it was incredible what a difference that made!
Then it dawned on me. Just like how we need to spring clean our living spaces to feel a sense of renewal and less stress, we need to do the same thing with our beliefs from time-to-time.
Just like papers, clothes, or boxes that sit untouched for months (or years) start piling up and can add to our feeling of heaviness and dissatisfaction, our beliefs (when gone unexamined) can have the same effect.
And I started by pulling out and looking at some of my beliefs about what it means to put something out into the world that may not be “perfect.” So I stepped out of my comfort zone a bit and created my first video series to walk through how I see decluttering our beliefs is a lot like decluttering our closets and it begins with pulling everything out so we can take stock of what we have.
In this first video of my 3-part series, I’ll share the 3 things to remember when starting the process of cleaning out our old beliefs so we can have less stress and more peace.
Now for this week’s challenge.
I want you to begin taking stock of your thoughts, noticing how they’re showing up and how they affect your life. Ask yourself, “What happens in my body when I believe this thought? How do I act and what are the outcomes or results of that thought?” I am fascinated to find out what you learn through this process, so please take the moment and share some of your discoveries in the comments below.
This week’s “tweetable:” We are not our thoughts, just like we are not the box of yearbooks or pairs of shoes in our closet. {Tweet that!}
