New way of thinking

A few months ago my mom gave me a book to read about cleaning out my clutter (crap) and the Feng Shui energy in my home. So Slowly I have been doing this, cleaning and reading this book. Clear Your Clutter with Feng Shui by Karen Kingston.

The book made a lot of sense in my mind. I finally went through a box of stuff that I cleaned out from Hillside almost a year ago. It was there I just didn't want to "deal" with it. I did that, I am focusing on keeping my purse clean and my home, dare I say it?, tidy. There is a lot of good energy flowing now. My other "thing" I have been working on is me. I feel like I had gotten in a funk about things in general. My looks, my home...yada yada. So I have been cleaning out the clutter in myself. I have made me an important point in my life. I have made it okay for me to feel good about different things about myself. I have been making a little extra effort in the looks department, I know I need more than a little help (lol), in the physical department, and with my photography. I haven't put me on hold. I am trying to take better care of myself. I started with that box i spoke of earlier. It felt so good to go through and get rid of the stuff. I am making it a point to take my camera to work everyday so that if I see something that I want to take a picture of I can. And I do!

I feel that I have re-awakened my self. I feel good. That's what it comes down to. Doing something that makes you feel good. Such as getting rid of your crap. I have done so much that I noticed I am looking for things to get rid of. Ironically enough it is clothes. A bit of history. Our washing machine broke about 5 months ago. My parents lent us a little one, when I say little I mean two pairs of jeans and this thing is full. So anyway. We have been backed up on laundry for a little while. Every time I get close to being caught up something in my mind sabotages me, for all of those out there it is procrastination a.k.a. laziness. So I have been slowly plowing through it. There is a large pile of clothes that are clean that I haven't gotten too and frankly I am thinking that I don't need to. I am almost to the point where we have lived without these particular clothes for so long that we don't need them. Of course I will go through them but it is not for a need situation, it is for a sorting to get rid of them. I think I sound like my mom, Lord help me!

Anyway, like the blog says Rambling Thoughts, the point is to do for yourself a little something that makes you feel good about yourself! Remember, how can you love anyone with out loving yourself first?
