Purging Life's Treasures

Several weeks ago, I stumbled upon a wonderful post by Sarah from Yes and Yes. Sarah talks about meeting goals. She does this by stopping the things that aren't helping her meet her goal. Sarah's post couldn't have come at a better time. After my last post about wanting my life to stand for something, I can't think of a better way to see my dreams come true. I think every now and then we have to clean our lives just as we clean our homes. Bad habits, goodbye. Unworn clothes, goodbye. Clutter, goodbye. Unused make-up, goodbye. I want to get rid of all the things that are keeping me from seeing my dreams realized.

I recently cleaned out my make-up and boy did that feel good. I find myself wearing more make-up more often. It's easier now without all those things I didn't use. Oh, and all of that old nail polish is gone, gone, gone. I've painted my nails several times in the last month, so my cleaning is helping me already.

The next thing I will clean is my office at work. I think it's keeping me from being productive when I'm at work and then when I leave I constantly think about the things I still need to do. This makes me less productive with my school work and other things in my life. Can you see the downward spiral starting?

The next thing at home I plan on cleaning is my closet, because yet again it is a mess. And nothing is fitting in the closet. I have piles of clothes and shoes everywhere. I have clothes that can be packed away, so I need to do that. I also have several items that I can get rid of. The piles of clothes and shoes don't help me, they just waste my time going through them every time I'm trying to get dressed. My closet is disorganized and I have items that I just don't wear.

I plan on finishing some incomplete projects, and de-cluttering the condo. Do I really need those magazines from years past? Are they helping me achieve my goals? No, and no. And those paint supplies are in my way, so I need to finish that bathroom re-do soon.

Are there things that are stopping you from

accomplishing your goals?
