Making Space for Something Better…
When was the last time you cleared out a closet and gave away all the old clothes you no longer wear? It’s an intriguing subject to consider because there are many unexpected benefits to freeing up space in our lives, both physically and metaphorically. The fact is that most of us tend to hold onto things that no longer suit our needs or our wellbeing.
The best example of this phenomenon is the way we cling to unpleasant memories of painful episodes that continue to cast a long, dark shadow on our lives. These recollections serve no useful purpose, drain our emotional energy, degrade the quality of our relationships and impart feelings of dread and uncertainty about the future. Not a great combination for a happy and well-adjusted approach to life’s gifts and opportunities. Yet we inevitably struggle to allow fresher, brighter openings to appear in our lives whilst we’re harboring doubts and fears from the past. It’s time to consider a better way of experiencing life’s rich array of invitations for a happier and more fulfilling life.
The concept of clearing out a room, a wardrobe, an old storage space, garage or a set of drawers is filled with a rich seam of symbolism. It’s fascinating to see the way that a simple act such as making space in our cupboards can lead to the appearance of new things in our lives. The connection between a physical bout of clearing out unwanted items and the possibility of introducing a change in our circumstances can best be explained by the way our subconscious governs almost every aspect of how we think, feel and behave. The decision to unload unwanted items triggers a response in the unconscious that will seek to make better use of the new space. It’s a fabulous technique for solving the dilemma of feeling stuck in any situation. The best part is that it’s so simple. It always feels good to let go of unwanted or unnecessary items. And, since Nature abhors a vacuum, the empty space will appear to invite new and often unexpected benefits into your life. Try it today and be prepared for some very pleasant surprises.
