Cleaning
So as the move day approaches I have been cleaning, organizing and packing like crazy. But the thing is it’s such a healing experience. I get to go through all the pieces of my life and decide if they are to continue being part of my living situation or if they are trash. I guess that’s why I enjoy moving so much. NOT. But the cleaning aspect of it where I get to go through everything and decide if it brings me joy or not anymore. That is the part I enjoy.
Today I cleaned so much and packed quite a bit as well. As much as I have loved this place I am so glad to be moving. It is beautiful and quiet and such a hidden gem but now I get to move to a beautiful place with people surrounding me. Isolation is great, I just miss being close to everything. Also today was my last day at the cafe. It was so bitter sweet. I know I will see everyone again, especially when I go and visit, but I truly enjoyed working there. It brought so much joy to my life being part of a team. It showed me what I want to create for myself, and how I am ready to have it.
What does cleaning do for our mentality? Well it organizes the disorder and chaos. When things are messy, that surrounding can make you feel helpless, even depressed. The things you own begin to own you, that is why I purge every year. (Not just because I move so often) If you have so much clutter or mess it kind of reflects what is going on with you. You feeling stressed about your job or what to do with your life. Then things may not go back where they are suppose to because there is no direction. Are you feeling overwhelmed by deadlines and all the things you have on your plate? It may manifest as nesting or even feeling more cramped then you already feel thus making it feel more overwhelming.
That is why when you clean to take your time with it, truly enjoy the process. Allow yourself to be in it, either with music playing or an audiobook, or nothing. Whatever you need to have fun while cleaning then do it. Because when you have that high positive energy the universe sees that and greets you with the positive things you want. Cleaning should be a time to really take care of the things outside of you. This is the space you live, do you want to continue to have chaos or would you like it to be light and bright? You get to choose!
