Decluttering brings abundance into your life. We are just not always aware of how much our surroundings influence us. Sometimes you feel that everything is flowing, and you experience a feeling of happiness and harmony, as if everything ‘clicks’ and goes effortlessly. At other times, it seems as if everything is slow and difficult and going against you… And then it seems as if it is simply happening to you and you have to “wait” until the tide turns. There is good news! You can influence this, take charge yourself and create flow!
One of the easiest ways to create abundance is “decluttering”. This means distancing yourself from everything that no longer serves you, everything that does not give you energy. This purifies your energy and makes room for “the new”. You begin to surround yourself with an environment, people, food and work that give you energy… And as if by itself, things start to flow and abundance walks into your life. But as with everything along this path: nothing happens without action. Do it!
You can apply this to different areas:
Declutter your surroundings
This is one of the easiest ways to create flow in your life. Something magical happens when you start getting rid of the things you do not use. What remains are things that truly make you happy, that fit who you are now or want to be… Your home and work environment become a ‘recharging place’ where you experience clarity and calm. Give things away and/or sell what you no longer need.
Declutter your social contacts
Ask yourself whether your contacts give you energy or cost you energy. Surround yourself with positive people who have your best interests at heart, and enjoy their company.
Get your finances in order
Draw up an overview of what you have, what goes out each month and what income you have. Learn from the conclusions you draw. Give your wallet a good clear-out too.
Give your health a boost
Your body is your temple. Create healthy habits: drink enough water, get moving, go outside, eat energising food, clean out the fridge and the larder, look after and pamper yourself…
Take a close look at your work
Which things give you energy? Which cost you energy? We spend more time at work than at home, so it is important that we have flow there too.
