Spring Cleaning

Hello there! 👋 I wanted to write a quick blog to provide some food for thought as you navigate through the change in seasons. This change in seasons that I am referring to can be figurative or literal and should be applied accordingly. For instance, those who may be experiencing a season of change within their lives will identify on that level and those who are actually spring cleaning their physical spaces will interpret it that way. Whatever that works for you 🤷🏾‍♀️- just as long as you do the work required.

For me, it is always both. I look forward ➡️ to a new season of intentional change and preparation for the next. 🏖 I think it is ideal to live in the moment, yet imperative to prepare for what’s to come. We should always be working towards personal goals for our lives and maintain a positive outlook reflective of our best life, that’s just around the bin. So, I say out with the old that is not beneficial to this best version of you that’s forming. ⬆️

The saying “cleanliness is next to godliness” comes to mind in a season of cleaning. 🧹 Cleaning what we may not have had time for during the prior seasons and putting off what should have been done prior to it getting to this level. Those obscure baseboards, dusty blinds, neglected tile grout, overstuffed closets, and garages that serve as a catchall will finally get an overhaul in your homes. 😃 🏡 All that energy that you’ve mustered up to get your home in once again annual tip-top shape need to be applied and correlated where it fits in your life. 🗓

Do you need to move on from a toxic relationship? How about making a decision on remaining in a dead end job or incurring further debt by returning to school to finish that nursing program that you’ve dreamed of your whole life? 💭 👩‍⚕️ What about picking up the phone and finally starting individual or marriage counseling because you know you unquestionably need it? ☎️ Whatever that is needed in your life can be worked through and accepted for the purpose of pushing ahead; therefore, having a season to do it in is the prime time to move. 🏃‍♂️ 💨 Let’s go- you can do this because as I tell you almost everyday on my social media pages- you are worthy. 💪

Sometimes I like to create an acronym to help these little nuggets of wisdom seep in to your psyche- so here you are kings and queens: 🤴 👸

S- is for Sound Mind. Always make sure the decisions that you are making are with a clear, sound mind. Do not react on emotion.

P- Process it through. As you are making these clear, intentional decisions for your life- process it from A-Z in order to alleviate any doubts.

R- is for Remember. If you decide to renege on the decisions for your change, remember why you wanted to make these changes in the first place in order to gain the strength to follow through.

I- is for Intentional. Jump in with intent on achieving this better version of your life. Intent demonstrates that you are sure and firm on your stance.

N-is for New. Anything new can take time to get used to, but that’s ok because eventually you settle right on into it just like the last new scenario or change that you made for your life. Trust the process.

G- is for Go. There’s no better time than now to go after something for yourself that is going to help you gain a new sense of being for your life.

🗣 There you have it. I wish you all a bleach-filled, 🧼 crisp morning air, 🌬 sun soaked ☀️ cleaning for this season of change in your lives.

Sending you 💕 and 💡,

CJ
