Quick Guide To Spring Clean Your Life
It's the first day of Spring in spectacular Sydney, the season of flowers, growth and the good old spring clean.
Usually when we think of a spring clean we think of tidying and cleaning our homes, maybe reordering our wardrobes or going on that special detox diet to spring clean the body. These are all great ways to cleanse our lives but there are other areas that could use a little spring clean too. Although quite frankly spring cleaning shouldn't be undertaken according the season, Mother Nature has control over that, this little life cleaning menu can be undertaken at any time of year.
Here's 6 areas that could all use a little attention. If you're going to dedicate time and energy to a spring clean why not be a little radical and really mix things up? Maybe even aim for a bit of personal growth or self improvement along the way.
1. Spring clean your thoughts
Ever heard the saying "We are what we think"? or "Thoughts become things"? Well it's true. Seriously, if we let our thoughts run wild or unchecked for long periods of time then we could be causing ourselves a lot of undue stress. How many times have you worried about something or dreaded something only to find that it wasn't that bad or you actually enjoyed whatever it was? Now imagine if you never wasted the time thinking the crappy thoughts before it and saved yourself all of that stress.Spring cleaning your thoughts starts with paying attention to what you're thinking (which takes a little bit of focus). Identify what you don't like or what doesn't serve you well and throw it out, replace it with new. Example; I've found myself noticing Mondayitis earlier on Sunday and thinking how fast the weekend went. Now when I feel the Mondayitis kicking in I remind myself to return to the present and enjoy where I am right now ...I'm still working on this but it really helps with the start of my week.
Our minds are so active and no one knows what goes on in your mind, what your true thoughts are but when you start paying attention to them you might be surprised what changes you can make.
2. Spring clean your routine
3. Spring clean your digital smorgasbord

4. Your 'me' time

5. Spring clean your Finances

6. Your Exercise

And there you have it, my 6 life areas for a spring clean (or anytime clean). If you put in some effort in one or a few of these areas you will improve in some way. I often find when I start cleaning out a life area other changes follow, one clean leads to another and then 6 months later I feel like a new person. Get on the spring clean train and get moving, see what results you can nail between now and Christmas. Happy cleaning!!
