Time for a Declutter
Decluttering your life is an experience we should do at least once a year and when I say Declutter I mean across the 4 Pillars of Mind, Body, Soul and Living.
The point of a stock-take in a retail store is to look at what stock you have left in the shop and understand what brands have sold well and what are not selling, and then to make adjustments and remove the poor performers and replace them with new and better options.
It’s exactly the same with a life stock-take. We have a look at all the elements of our life. We look at what’s working and what’s not working. We decide if the things that aren’t working should be kept and modified, or if we should get rid of them completely and replace them with something new and better. We also look closely at the things that are working. Just because something is working does not mean it is the right thing for us. You might be a high performer in your field of employment, respected by all, and making enormous amounts of money………….but it’s slowly killing you emotionally and physically. ‘If it ain’t broke don’t fix it’ is a metaphor for mediocrity.
The key to a meaningful declutter of your life is ‘if in doubt, throw it out’.
Emotions – anger, resentment, jealousy, depression
Behaviours – aggressiveness, the need to defend my opinions, selfishness
Surroundings – Negative people, negative news, acquaintances
Goals – Things that were important once but are now only being held onto for sentiment
Every area and facet of your life should be examined, these are just a few examples above.
Live a Life Worth Living
