Spring Cleaning Thoughts, Emotions and Habits Right Out of Your Life

By arbutuscoaching | April 7, 2010

Spring cleaning is a yearly ritual isn’t it? Being a Virgo, a sign that is known for its organizational abilities, I love “creating space,” by getting rid of what I no longer need and creating room for something new. This past weekend I got rid of tons and tons of paper that has outgrown its usefulness and it feels so good.

While spring cleaning usually refers to our physical environment, this annual ritual, along with the New Year, is a great time to look at what we also need to clear out of our mental, emotional and spiritual environment.

The ancient Chinese practice of Feng Shui tells us that everything in our physical environment impacts us and that we should consider everything’s placement. Going beyond the physical, is there a belief about yourself that needs to be “spring cleaned,” right out of your mind? Once you’ve eliminated it, what are you going to replace it with? Or as I often ask my clients, what’s your new story?

As you clean, purge and organize thoughts, emotions and habits that no longer work for you, you’ll create a vacuum. You’ve probably heard the saying that nature abhors a vacuum and so these practices must be replaced with new thoughts, emotions and habits that make for a more successful you.

The problem is that most people aren’t students of success and so are at a loss as to what to replace them with. If I’ve just described you, and you’re interested in increasing your satisfaction with your life, check out my group coaching program, My Best Year Yet by visiting http://www.arbutuscoaching.com/salespage/my-best-year-yet.htm

The program, which was scheduled to start April 6, will begin later this month. If past participants feedback is any indication, the program will provide you with an embarrassment of riches in the way of strategies to help you be more successful. If you’re interested in learning more, or registering, please contact me at the contact information listed below.

Happy spring cleaning!!! To twist a familiar commercial just a bit, “I’m going to wash that thought right out of my head.”
