“Minimalism is removing the things in your life,
that remove you from your life”
This is just one of the many teachings from my mentor Courtney Carver. (thank you, Courtney, many blessings to you!)
What is removing YOU from YOUR life?
Do you know?
What does your life look like right now?
Do you know?
What do you want your life to look like?
Do you know?
The first thing we all need to do, is have a good look at our lives and
realize what is going on right now.
We first have to know the reality before we can evaluate what is okay and what needs to be changed in order to have the life we crave.
Become very still,
put your hands on your heart,
listen to the real you, to who you really are and
know, feel how you really want to live.
Create a picture in your mind of this life,
make it very real,
take your time to really consider, to really know,
what is important to you and what not.
Once you’ve got a clear image,
Visualize this over and over again in your mind,
write it down,
make a mood-board,
live this life in your mind before you go to sleep.
The more you’ve ‘seen’ and ‘felt’ your future life,
the more it is already embedded in your subconscious mind.
As Dr. Joe Dispenza puts it:
you can remember your future!
Because you’ve repeated the movie over and over again in your mind,
your subconscious mind thinks it has already happened and so you can ‘remember’ it.
Now that you know what you want in your future life,
look at what you need to adjust in your current life to get to live that future life.
What do you need to stop doing, right now?
What is not helping you to have that future life?
What do you need to eliminate?
What do you need to add?
Be very critical to what is present in your life, in your home,
that is keeping you away from the life you want.
Do you want a healthier life?
What are you eating, drinking?
How much sleep do you get?
How much exercise?
How do you spend your free moments?
Do you want more time?
What does your agenda look like?
How much stuff do you own, do you need to clean, store, insure …?
What are you saying ‘yes’ to, when actually you want to say ‘no’?
Do you want more money?
What do you spend your money on?
What do you own that you don’t need: sell it!
What do you buy because other people say it is cool to have?
What do you buy just because you feel you need to, in order to belong?
Stop spending money on things that are not worth it.
Do you want better relationships?
How harshly are you criticizing other people?
How realistic are your expectations?
Do you hold grudges?
Are you blaming and shaming?
How tolerant are you?
Do you want to feel more inner peace?
How still are your moments of stillness?
How quiet is your mind?
How much time do you spend meditating?
You see,
in creating the life that you want,
you need to adjust your current life.
And it is almost always ‘Less’:
Do less,
Have less,
Spend less,
Worry less,
Eat less,
Blame less,
Complain less,
Spend less time on technology,
…
Remove the things in your life that remove you from your life.
Once the excess removed,
you’ll have so much more:
more joy,
more time,
more health,
more money,
more happiness,
more inner peace,
more life,
and you’ll feel … you finally belong.
You’ll belong where it matters,
you’ll belong to you,
you’ll come home to who you are,
you’ll come home to your heart.
My invitation to you all this week is:
Analyze your current life,
Create your future life in your mind,
List the things you need to remove,
List the things you need to start doing differently,
Adjust your current life in order to have that future life!
Good luck and
WELCOME HOME…!!
