Spring Cleaning
This past week I have been deeply engaged in spring cleaning! For me that means throwing away as much as my children will allow me to!!! I am a minimalist at heart, love simplicity and feel agitated, unsettled and distracted by unnecessary clutter.
I am sure I am not the only one that has embarked on deep cleaning lately, however, even if you aren’t taking truckloads to the dump — most people still take pride in keeping their living spaces neat and tidy.
This may look like rearranging furniture, cleaning out cabinets, organizing our garages or clearing our work areas.
There is clear evidence that proves one’s external environment influences one’s ability to focus, accomplish task and mitigate distractions.
As we are only a few months into the new year, I am sure there are many people that have also taken the time to plan for healthier choices when it comes to diet and movement. Many put effort into clearing out pantries and fridges to get rid of the junk food and fill these spaces with healthier choices.
While clearing out, cleaning up and getting rid of the old, outdated, worn out and no longer needed items from our living spaces is valuable — how many of us actually put the same amount of time, effort and energy into the most important, powerful and impactful space of all!??! OUR MINDS!!!!
Our minds are the space in which all of our beliefs, memories, experiences and thoughts reside. This is the container that dictates how we feel, think and act.
Unless we are constantly deepening our self-awareness to release what no longer serves us — we are still storing outdated stories, old narratives, unprocessed emotions and limiting beliefs.
So, the next time you are tidying your living spaces I hope you consider investigating what it would mean if you were to also be committed to tidying the most profound space of your mind!
Once you engage in this process, you will quickly realize that these limiting beliefs, fears, insecurities and feelings of inadequacy are all hiding within blind spots and behind adopted coping mechanism. And as such are difficult, if not impossible to identify on your own.
I am so grateful to the coaches that I have had the opportunity to work with and I am always humbly fascinated by what they are able to uncover, knowing that I never could have done so on my own.
I am also honored for the clients I have the privilege to work with and guide as they discover what is hiding within their personal blind spots.
