Woohoo this is a busy time of year! This week I’m finishing up my holiday shopping, decorating my house, organizing my year end finances, planning my business for 2013, oh and working, blogging, tweaking my website, WHEW! Ah yes and getting together with friends and family for holiday cheer. Why the heck to we do this to ourselves?
Most importantly, I am actively making room in my home, my career, my family, my LIFE. I want to make room for 2013! I want there to be SPACE in my world so that all of the amazing things I have planned for 2013 actually have a path and a space!
Here’s a few tips for making space in your life:
1. Bring a bag outside with you next time you go out to your car. FILL it with stuff you can throw out. My car is my magic carpet, it takes me to all the wondrous places I want to go. You car needs to have room for YOU, so get rid of what you don’t need. How are your three wishes going to come true if you have to climb over your kids cleats to get to the Genie? Make room for 2013.
2.. Clean out your email. Pick one email address (yes, I know, you have more than one! So do I) and clean it down to ZERO. Pick the smallest one, I don’t care, just make this achievable. Do it. This is how we communicate, make sure you have room for the emails you don’t want to miss. Like this one! Make room for 2013.
3. CLEAN YOUR ROOM! If you’ve attended any of my workshops on dreams, you know how I feel about your bedroom. Just consider the possibility that you are absorbing the energy of your bedroom. Do you want that? Is your room filled with dirty laundry and shoes? Is your bed made? Are your sheets clean? When you are asleep and manifesting the life and career of your dreams, do your surroundings support that dream? Make room for 2013.
4, Make time for you. Take a nap, meditate, go for a walk. You’ll be open and ready to receive in 2013 if your body and your mind are relaxed and willing. If your body is screaming for a nap, and your mind is on overwhelm, you’re going to miss those amazing opportunities. Every time. Need some help with that? Check out THIS PROGRAM. (Note: the program is no longer available.) Make room for 2013.
Lets do this together! Lets make space in our lives for all of the wonderful, amazing riches ahead of us in 2013.
I totally believe in clearing out clutter to make room for the new. I keep up with it regularly so I rarely have any clutter to clear (I like things clean, clear and simple). I do have a pile a mile high right now of things to do to prepare for 2013, so I need to get through that!
Leanne I have a pile too! But a pile is better than a room, right?
Love this Karen – I cleaned out my personal email inbox for the first time in YEARS the other day and took a picture of it I was so happy! Now that’s it has a couple of emails in there (pending bills for next month!) I can’t say it stayed that way, but I still hold that feelings of spaciousness and clarity of mind that I gained from those few hours of bliss :).
LOL I love that you took a picture! Who would ever have thought that an empty email box would be anyones idea of bliss? I get it, I get it. 🙂
Hi Karen! Great blog. Everyone should clear away the clutter…it is good for the soul…lol, safety and hygiene! The thing I need to work on is making time for me…oh my…I know it is there if we just look for it! Thanks for the great post! ~Cathy
Cathy that’s the most fun part, not the one to skip! Go get a manicure. xoxo
Hi, Karen
Thank you for stopping by my blog. This is a great post. I totally believe in clearing out the clutter and make room for new things to come. I agree with you about the bedroom. Sadly, a lot of times people neglect this part of the house, including me, but it is very important that we have a bedroom that supports us, it is a sacred place where our dreams come true.
We absorb so much energy from our bedrooms! We’re in that room more than any other room in our lives.
Love the idea of clearing the decks to make space for the new in 2013!
Me too Erin! Me too.
