Clearing Clutter for Clarity


I might not look it but I'm not in my mid twenty's anymore.  So my New Years Eve celebrations are rather tame to say the least.  When I was out to lunch on January 1st, we passed several people throwing their guts up, having their hair held and back rubbed by that much needed and loved friend, it did take me back.  Back to the days when the 1st day of the year meant, please sleep through the hangover. If you didn't, maybe you woke up, hangover in full pounding swing or even worse on your way home from the celebrations, hangover in full screaming pounding swing.
Your mission, you and your group of friends MUST find, full English breakfast and it'll all be ok.

So needless to say as a single mummy and almost 40 I haven't rode that fun train for many years now. Cant say I miss it even.  
New Years eve for me was sitting down with my goals, game planning for 2015 as a worked through the Life Strategy Course I'm doing by Jefferson Santos . After lunch I joined a webinar hosted by Kemi Oyesola where she talked about "How to Think" and why we tell ourselves we "can't "do things we want to do.
After that I curled up with my book Ask and it is Given by Esther and Jerry Hicks.  The last thing that filled my head as I went to sleep December 31st was a chapter or rather process #14 Clearing Clutter for Clarity and that was it, goodbye 2014, it's been a blast.

I literally leaped out of bed on the 1st of January and started clearing everything out.
Nothing was safe or sacred. I started with the Kitchen drawers. Then the Desk drawers, then the receipts, the cupboards and shelves.
I was a woman possessed until I finished the last of the de-clutter madness on the 2nd of January.
It was one simple question that seemed to drive me on and on and on....
Is this item important to my immediate experience? Discard everything from your experience that is not essential to you now.
So I did and the energy in my home really feels different. I feel fantastic! Well downstairs in my home has the new vibes, I haven't got to de-cluttering upstairs yet.
The thing is, I'm always so amazed and grateful when things I learn just have such a powerful but simple effect on my life. It could be all new year optimism but it could be clarity.

SIDE NOTE!   When someone says they spent New Years Eve at home, it doesn't automatically translate as sad lonely person that you need to feel sorry for. Do try to take the pity look off your face. Some people like, appreciate even love their own company.

Happy 2015 everyone. Make it your best year yet because you show up as the best you ever ;-)
