Cleaning The “Emotional House”
I have been learning to live in the present and treat each day as a gift! Part of the process is letting go of the crud that clutters my body, mind and spirit; cleaning my “emotional house”. This crud is not important, certainly does not matter and just takes up valuable real estate. The hardest lesson of letting go is when you have NO CONTROL! You either roll with it or stress yourself out.
I want to put my energies into the GREAT things in my life!
Think About . . .
- Reenergizing Your Body
- Cleansing Your Mind
- Lifting Your Spirit
- Putting Your Heart & Soul into WHAT MATTERS!
How do you know WHAT MATTERS is between you and yourself? You will KNOW when you FIND IT! How do you find your inner strength and emotional freedom? I find it by being true to myself, feeding my body and living life!
Coming Out, Of My Shell That Is! (Photo by RSheridan)
I am not going to say that being open to what life has to offer has been easy for me because you are putting yourself out there. Some people just do not understand and heck there are days I do not even understand it myself. I just get out there and try to be and do the best I can! Yes, it scares me as well as at the same time frees me!

I can very much relate to this post. I always had a hard time coming out of my shell, I was socially awkward because of things I’d gone through in my life. I have to thank my dear husband for helping me learn how to be myself and find my dreams so I could achieve my goals in life. It’s never easy just letting go and trying to step into who you are, especially today.

Every day is a gift, for sure. Love that turtle. Makes me think summer when I only see snow all around me.

I love this post and I agree with you. Along with our preparation for the upcoming baby in our life, we made room in our house by donating/throwing away a lot of junk that was just cluttering our life and mind.
Each time I got rid of bags of stuff, I felt much lighter and more free afterwards.

I am reading the book Quiet by Susan Cain and she points out many of us are introverts attempting to live in a extrovert world. She points out that we all need that moment of quiet to replenish our spirit.

Have to check that book out – it is okay to have a little quiet/silence in our lives!
