Cleaning out the Old, Making Room for the New

We’ve reached the end of the year, and the end of a decade. This year, I feel like cleaning up the house, getting rid of things that we don’t need; the things that have been collecting dust for so long. Some of these things made sense in our lives 10 years ago, but no longer apply. They are taking up precious space in our cabinets, closets and shelves. I want to make room for the things that are useful, that apply to life as we are living it now.

The marking of the New Year is an excellent time to “clean house” emotionally as well. What emotional habits no longer apply to your life as you are living it today? What worked for you 10 years ago, but now feels like clutter? Is there something that is taking up space and energy that you can let go of? What new things would you like to make room for in your life? Now is an excellent time to sort through your emotional belongings, separating what you want to keep, and what you would like to toss.

Happy New Year!
