The Fullness in Minimal
It is so easy in this material world of ours to collect and gather things. Our reasons for our choices range from what is useful, to what makes us feel good, to accumulating investments such as art and holding onto years of tax files not required by the IRS. The question becomes when is enough…enough?
I once thought having a lot of stuff was comforting and at the same time increased my sense of well-being. Over time I became aware that the opposite was in fact the case. Too much stuff actually diminished the fullness and distracted me from having a greater sense of well-being and freedom. Having a lot of stuff requires maintenance. And, if not maintained, can drain energy when not in active use. I have found that releasing what is not vibratorily alive in my midst increases my inner fulfillment and enthusiasm.
I recently saw a new neighbor’s renovated home. She is a minimalist and my inner kid was jumping up and down saying, I want what she has.
Applying the minimalist approach to what we tell ourselves we are going to do, can bring greater balance. Sometimes, I have an idea a second and can get caught in keeping those ideas vs. being more ruthless in letting them just pass through.
When I do my Weekly Review, I want my lists of actions needing completion and my someday/maybes to reflect the truth of my current consciousness. Discarding what is no longer honest and adding what is alive and vibrant can increase creative expression.
Items on the list that are simply maintenance of daily life may not inspire me, but I accept them as the price for the privilege of getting to be here on this earth. It is the cost of living.
Being ruthless with what we allow to remain in our working and living spaces and on our completions lists, is one way to keep the balance and keep our energy alive and full.
We are worth being in the fullness of our attention not pulled by the extraneous, the “too much” and the over creation.
Martha Invitations
1. Go through each of your action lists and up-level them to your current truth.
2. Walk through your office and home and ask yourself if what is in your midst is alive and reflects you at this time.
3. When you are about to add something to your lists look for any “shoulds” or “have-tos” that can be let go.
