There are two places where you need peace in life to be happy – your heart and your home.
How do you get peace? You release emotional clutter in your heart and physical clutter in your home.
This means – if there is anything you need to forgive – do that now. If there is anything you are holding onto that you need to say goodbye to, do that now.
Take a deep breath, put your hand on your heart and say, “I forgive you.” Whoever comes to mind is the person you need to forgive right now. It may or may not be your partner.
That’s okay.
Whatever we hold in our hearts as unforgiven blocks our ability to receive and give love, so the more your declutter those emotions the better.
And here is a super special invitation to especially forgive the little things. OMG – the towels, the cups, the socks….I know you know what I am talking about.
Here is an example from MaggieLand…right after we got married and moved into our cozy home, I went to take a shower and the towels looked like a Hurricane hit them, they were just every which way and I looked at those towels and I thought about the man I just married and I thought, “I could either get mad about this or realize I want the towels the way I want them and put them that way.”
Those 60 seconds saved me SO MUCH GRIEF.
Whenever something annoying has happened, I think of the towels and remember that I can DECIDE (which is why we started with that yesterday!) exactly how upset I am going to let that make me.
And in the interest of full disclosure, I would like to mention that I use on average 5 cups a day. The hubby grew up in a house with 3 brother where everyone had an assigned cup and uses one cup and one cup only.
Now that I work from home…I might use 6…. 😉
I forgive. He forgives. We let go and make space for fun and laughter and connection.
Notice that I am not mentioning a huge emotional forgiveness today – those are of course the most important things to forgive, but I think sometimes a lot of us let the little things add up and become big things – so let’s start small.
Your homework today:
Forgive 1 person, repeat as needed. (Remember, forgiving doesn’t mean what they did was ok or that you agree, it just means you will stop feeling awful everytime you think about it. If you are not sure where to start with forgiving – read this.)
Release one object or clear one area.
That problem area in your home that you hate to look at, that one.
If you don’t have that, I love you and need to meet you immediately, the world needs this information. 😉
