MINIMALISM// Decluttering non-material stuff and sitting with discomfort.

While Minimalism can clear your slate in terms of having fewer belongings; your life, time, and energy can easily and silently be filled back up by other “stuff” just as quickly if you don’t declutter this stuff the same way you would material possessions.

MAKING SPACE// Calling In and Letting Go

The nature of bringing certain things into your life
will require movement.
Shifting, clearing, releasing.
Calling in requires space,
And space is made by letting go.

NEW YEAR// Quicksand House

The place I was living,
my metaphorical house
(body, spirit, self, mind, external world)
came down.
Beyond repair.

BE PATIENT WITH YOUR MIND

Working on yourself to heal and do better is like taking inventory. You first work with what you already know. Layers like onions, peeling back one at a time in a non attached, curious, patient way. Because when you meet a layer you didn’t know about, you treat it with kindness, investigate it, figure out the best way to unravel, how to set that part free.

CLUTTER AND ZERO WASTE// The Hidden Benefits of Letting Go

I started refilling coffee in reusable jars not because of Zero Waste, but because I needed a solution for my clutter problem…Keeping stuff you don’t need or want, because you’re worried about what will happen to it, doesn’t solve wastefulness…

DOWNSIZING FOR THE PRESENT// Curate a Meaningful Life Based on Who You Are Now

Michelangelo carved away and removed everything that was not David- releasing David, setting him free from the marble. I like to think of creating your life in the same way, where you’re removing everything that isn’t essential.
