With the beginning of a new year, I look forward to clearing out old and making room for new. It's one of my favorite ways to set the tone for a new year, and an exercise that is less painful and more cathartic than a hard and fast list of resolutions. This new year's it sort of began involuntarily in my world, as old stuff pooped out on me and had to be replaced (my cell phone for one), and has picked up speed as I've examined different areas of my life and surroundings where tweaks were necessary. I make it a sort of fluid, organic process, quietly going down a mental "fix, clean, ditch, donate, and/or replace" list. I look at stuff in my home, work, social, emotional, and spiritual realms, including the people in those areas with a critical eye (considering what's helpful or a positive presence, and what's not so much), make quick, confident decisions and move on. It feels great, and gets me on track for making my year ahead the best it can be! The old adage, "out with the old and in with the new" could never ring truer for me, and I'm looking forward to some great new things this year...
