When you sell a house it feels great
to get rid of stuff you’ve accumulated. You wonder why you lived so long with
it weighing you down. It’s the same with mental and emotional clutter.
We fill our minds with thoughts that
hold us back, habits that limit us, distractions that derail us, negative
people who drain us, fear that paralyzes us, time-zappers that sabotage our productivity.
We spend so much time and energy on things that don’t matter—we fail to focus
on what does matter. We fill up with so many things that generate negative
energy, there’s no room for positive energy in our lives.
Don’t you think, it would be a
welcome change to Throw off your…former way of life…let the Spirit renew your mind, thoughts and attitudes. The
clutter you need to lose includes: believing that you’re alone, trying to
please everybody, feeling insecure, putting yourself down, needing everybody to
like you, jumping to negative conclusions before you know the facts, thinking
you’re always right, recalling all the times you messed up, wanting to know how
it all turns out, needing to have all the answers, worrying that if you let go
of the memorabilia you’ll lose the memories, agonizing that you’re not rich
enough, good enough or smart enough, surrounding yourself with people who
remember the bad times and not the good, making energy-sucking comparisons,
viewing life like a movie instead of participating, believing that your best
days are over, waiting at all times for the right moment, fearing you will look
foolish, focusing on negative type-casting…and anything else you don’t want to
pass on to your kids. How can you get rid of the clutter? “Let the spirit renew your mind;.”
