Be Still and Know....

As I have been purging my space I have reached a sense of peace deep down inside of me. It is amazing how "stuff" can weigh us down. Speaking of weight, I have been losing it. I also had a dental procedure which prevented me from eating, but I had already been on a journey to change my diet. I also know that I am stress eater and with the absence of stress my body has had a chance to reset and function "normally." I need to remember to stay grounded when stressful situations build. I would typically start to feel anxious around this time, but I am peaceful.

I have been super productive. There have been days where I have just allowed myself to just be but I am determined to continue to purge my space - clear my energy. I have kept thing so long that they smell old and musty. I am getting rid of so much and the peace that it brings me is amazing. I have been going through old papers and realizing that my memory has failed me about some things. Crazy how our minds will play tricks on us like that, eh?  I also realized there were a lot of things that I just let go and did not deal with. I have been tying up all of those loose ends. I think knowing that I can be in control of my environment helps to ground me. Having a plan in place. Scheduling my time, figuring out how to make the most of my money so I can create the future that I want.

The more I accomplish, the more I want to accomplish. It opens me up to deal with the small annoyances that normally drain me. Once those bigger projects are done or at least started I can get them off of my mind. I think spending this time getting my life in order was so much more valuable than anything else I could have done while I was off from work. It is a long term investment in myself. Decluttering my space, rebuilding my life, taking time to learn about myself and what I need. Realizing that I know what I need to do. It is just a matter of doing it.
I must protect this feeling that I have right now.
