Releasing the Old

As January comes to a close I hope everyone has taken advantage of the New Year energy to clear out the old and start something new. We are in the fifth and final week of January and my weekend was full of clearing out the old to make way for the new. When we have so much stuff we don't use and are tired of looking at, that's a clear message its time to let it go! I finally threw away an old calendar and date book from 2011, I'm no where close to being the person I was then and I certainly don't want to relive experiences from that past anymore, so I was glad to finally let it go! 

We all tend to collect junk and stuff we don't and won't use, normally it's because at the time we have good intentions to use the stuff or think we will find some sort of value or happiness with the stuff. Over time its easy to form an emotional connection with all "the stuff" making it harder to let it go. But when you find your true happiness, your true self and your true purpose in life, its so much easier to let all the stuff go. You can throw it away, sell it, or the best thing to do is to give it away to someone who needs it or you know will use it. You can also donate items to different places like shelters and centers.

Even if you haven't quite found your center, peace and purpose, its still a good idea to clear your space of old things. Are you holding onto things that cause you negative emotions or remind you of a past you're ready to let go of? I know sometimes it seems sad to let the stuff go, like it really is hard to release the attachement to the stuff you've formed in your mind, but the fast way to move forward is to let it go and not look back. For a while you may feel like you should have kept whatever it is, but don't be fooled, you're better off without it and eventually you'll breath easier knowing your space is clear. 

When you let out all the old you are making space for the new. This can be very exciting if you allow your mind to think of it as exciting. For someone else it maybe very scary if they choose to see it that way. But ultimately, clearing out clutter and clearing out your space makes you open to receive that which is supposed to be yours. When your ready, God is ready. When you show God you are ready to let go of old stuff, old thoughts and old habits then He is ready to give you all the tools and things you need to be successful and happy in life, so get ready to be blessed and keep up your inner work.
