Tip #2: Unclutter Your Life
Unclutter your life and notice what is left when the clutter is gone. It is there that lies hidden the real you. You won’t find what is meaningful for you if you fill every second with things to do and places to go. It doesn’t lie in busyness.
Meaning lies in the quiet times when you listen to the birds in the morning or the leaves rustling with evening breezes. It lies in the times you quietly watch a tot play with a new toy or a six year old learn to ride a bike. It lies in the moments when you are not filling your mind with chatter or your vocal chords with continuous talk.
Unclutter your life and notice what is there when the clutter of driving here and there, buying this and that, chatting with this one and that one has stopped and it is just you. Just notice. Breathe deeply and feel the nurturing life flow through every cell and feel gratitude for the body you inhabit. Just notice the sensual experience of being alive at this moment now. Just notice whatever wants to be noticed.
Just notice. That is the first step in being more conscious. Notice. Noticing has an effect in itself.
Once your noticing has given you clarity, then decide on one action you will take to incorporate some of that stillness into your life. Let me know what you notice and what you do with that.
Enjoy noticing the quiet calmness around you and smile.
