Just as a tree sheds its leaves, we too must allow ourselves to shed of things that no longer play of service to our lives in a beneficial way.
It can be the smallest of things that are hardly noticeable, to the more general areas & roles of life…yet shedding is a must and the more frequently you do so, the more energy you preserve.
When we look around, we can notice a whole lot of ‘Things’ that we must get to and do something with, yet we can class them as ‘not important’ or at times seems too much to deal with and so we just leave it altogether. When we do this, it’s like a grey cloud follows you around overhead. Every little thing you don’t get to, adds to that grey cloud, until it’s so full it’s about to pour down with overwhelm…and it usually does at some point….you will feel it, see it, hear it!
This year I’ve been shedding…ALOT. In so many ways.
It’s something I’ve been doing for years, but some more so than others. This year has seen bigger shedding in a more delightful way you could say. In ways that has touched my truth in a way it’s never done so before. It’s been bringing me back to parts of me who I always was yet thought I had to change, parts of me that was always there yet I unfolded it even more so & always new parts of me that I’ve admired in others…which means when you see it in others, it’s available for you too.
When we let ourselves shed, we bring more of that energy back into ourselves which is then distributed to the areas that really bring goodness to your world & to your future. It creates space for what you really want to come forward when it’s time.
So what has that looked like for me…well heres a few things.
– In January I stopped sharing snippets of my daily life on social media within my business. It had been knocking at my door for about 2 years, something I thought I needed to do. The moment I decided no more while on holiday, I felt more free. I decided then that what I share will be my creations, my message, my work. I feel we must earn the right to see into peoples lives, this takes time, space, connection to know more about another. Those we invest in & who invest in us get VIP access so to speak. I will still share many things so long as it’s with good intention & benefit for others.
– I sold my rental property in the middle of the year. Again something that had been knocking at my minds door for a couple of years. It held many memories for me, both good & not so good. I had created my second business with this property which I loved & enjoyed until the world changed. It started to need work, which my hands weren’t really made for haha so it was time. The decisions made & focus I put into it once I loosened the grip on ‘what society rules as success’ every thing fell into place so quickly and was sold with so much ease.
– Exiting out of old group chats, closing down old fb groups created, unsubscribing from little bits and pieces that I give no interest or attention too. It’s things like this that we feel have no effect on us, yet they are slow energy leaks and the moment you plug it, seal it, you will notice another space clear within you.
My list could go on…and each day I carve out time to shed something else (even if it’s just a pair of holey socks)
With all this shedding, it created space for an important & exciting piece of my purpose work to come through so clearly which I’ve been working on & it’s unfolding so quickly & easy now. It’s allowed me to sit and think about people who I care so deeply about, all the goodness about them & what they’ve taught me in my life. It’s given me more time & space to care for myself as my mind, body & soul deserves…again the list could go on.
Every space, every person, every object, Everything! holds energy…so it’s important to ask yourself, how good is the energy from this, is it adding or subtracting from your energy source.
If it adds to it, keep it, nurture it, enjoy it, love it, add more of it.
If it subtracts from it, then first, see if you can work with it, adjust it, find new ways for things to improve & work or remove it, unsubscribe from it, exit it.
It’s all the things you’re holding onto that’s taking from your energy, that’s weighing you down in life. When you take care of your energy…more things, more beautiful things will flow your way…trust that!
