four
steps for easy and painless lifestyle spring cleaning
As the ice continues to
melt, the flowers start to bloom, and winter fully eclipses into spring,
perhaps it is time to get your life into alignment with the changing seasons by
doing a little spring cleaning of your own, both physically and emotionally. Here
are four helpful ideas to get you started on your journey to a simpler and more
natural lifestyle this year:
1) Start your mornings
off right with living foods. Since spring is symbolic of renewal and growth,
one way to implement this theme into your diet is to start every day off right
with living foods. Freshly-squeezed juices, living seeds, organic fruits and
vegetables, and other raw foods are far more substantial and life-giving than
many of the "dead" foods people commonly eat for breakfast. Besides
their many nutritional benefits, living foods help to detoxify the body and
improve the pathways through which energy and life are imparted.
2) Detoxify your
thoughts. Physical detoxification is important, but so is mental
detoxification. What benefits the body should also benefit the mind, and one
way you can help this process along is by journaling your life. Write out all
the thoughts in your head when you run into a specific problem or roadblock in
life, and go back and edit it later in the day or week. By revising your own
thought processes in this way, you can gradually cut out the things in your
life that are holding you back or tearing you down.
3) Cleanse your living
environment. They say cleanliness is next to godliness, but one thing is for
sure -- messy living spaces lead to messy, unhealthy lifestyles. Take the time
to clean out your closet, desk, and kitchen, for instance, and get rid of the
things you no longer need or use. Not only will this de-cluttering process help
bring you peace of mind, but it will also give you a fresh opportunity to
simplify your life and reorganize your own life's trajectory for the better.
4) Work toward building
friendships and community. Humans were made for connection, and two of the most
important connections we can make in this life are friendship and community.
Take some time to interact with the people in your life who matter to you, or
even those whom you are merely interested in getting to know better. Give your
friends and family members a call, or write them personal letters and mail them
the old-fashioned way. Doing so will not only enrich your own state of being,
but also help spread the love to someone who might really be needing it.
