The New Spring Cleaning

It's Spring again, but what will you do differently this time around?

We all have experienced the untidy, unkempted and cluttered house. But have you ever visited a friend's house that literally sucked the life right out of you? Where the wall and the hairballs in the corner closed in on you? Or sometimes its the opposite. Everything is picture-perfect to the point of nuerosis. The place is lifeless, dull and void of any feeling or personality. If you've never had that feeling, more than likely that house is yours. It is a result of living unconsciously and living inauthentically; a form of sleep walking with your eyes wide shut.

Many of us view our homes as a place to sleep, take a dump in, and keep a roof over our heads. But are homes are much bigger than its physical representation; our homes are our sacred space. It's all about the energy, broken down into either a good feeling or a bad feeling. What feeling does your home give you? Does your home weigh you down, sapps and zapps your energy, and otherwise doesn't make you feel good?

At the Bliss Blogs one thing we know for sure is that our homes are a testament to our life philosophy. It answers the questions: How do I see and feel myself living? What do I deserve to surround myself with? What do I want to feel when I step into my personal arena? Does my home authenticate the real me or does is dishonour me?

Yes. It's that deep. Your home can be your gift or your curse. But to the rescue is The New Spring Cleaning. One that addresses the concerns of your home with the life changing vision of finding and/or rediscovering your bliss. This type of spring cleaning is life-affirming because it puts you into alignment with what feels good for you and allows you to step into the light of your truth.

The New Spring Cleaning Philosophy:
  • This is the number one guiding principle. Use it as your guide to create the home and consequently the life you want: If if does not add to value to your life, make you feel good about your life direction, or affirm who you want to be-get rid of it.

For books I suggest author Donna Smallin. Her books hit home for those of us who need to get it together but don't know where or how to begin.

And as always remain open and start small. Your journey to your best you does not happen overnight.
