What Baggages Are You Carrying?

BE AT HOME WITH SPIRIT

Everyday Simplicity is more than just clearing the clutter from your home or business; it's also about purging the emotional baggages of your past and doing away with all forms of negativity and toxins that seep into your well-being.   

Take time each day to consciously let go of undue stress, worries or confusing emotions.  Spend a few minutes in quiet meditation or daily prayer before responding to the world's demands. And remember, your list of things to-do will always be there - but they don't have to be

attended to at the expense of your soul.  

Take extra time to bring yourself back to you and find activities that support and nurture your spirit.  Take quiet walks along the beach, be in nature, do something creative, play the piano, sing, go to the museum, ride a bike or simply sit and be.  Allow these activities to serve as simple reminders that problems are inevitable aspects of life and much like the seasons, things will come and go.  New opportunities, insights and experiences will also come your way but if you choose to hold on to the pains of your past, or allow stress to overwhelm you, you close yourself from new discoveries.  

Listen to what your body, mind and heart truly need.  Everyday Simplicity means to support yourself with things that will nourish your spirit and bring in the life forces that will serve you towards your highest good.  

Ask yourself if you are being an instrument of peace, or if you being a source of negativity or drama.  List the aspects of your life that you are most aware of:  job, school, partner status, race, family.  What are the physical emotional, mental experiences you have with these aspects?Where are you feeling drained, consumed, pressured, overwhelmed?  What are you bringing into your life that may be compounding your worries?  

Take time now to reflect on those aspects and choose to see the world from a different perspective....from a viewpoint of

possibilities, hope and renewed faith.  By clearing the clutter from your mind, you'll begin to feel the power of healthful living, harmony and inner peace.
