Here are some ideas to get you started on spring cleaning your Life:
1. Get a goal that is big enough to motivate you. For me I wanted more time to spend with those I care about rather than looking for that paper one more time.
2. Get the whole family involved with motivating incentives.
3. Figure out what makes you feel good as you part with your precious things. For me I couldn’t stand knowing that what I was giving up was going in the garbage dump to be seen no more. Giving them to charity created a much better feeling tone as I knew I was blessing someone else.

I have a confession to make; you know they say confession is good for the soul. Well, here goes: I’m a born pack-rat, coming from a long line of pack-rats. If you don’t know what a pack-rat is, it’s a furry mammal that lives in the dessert and makes its nest with twigs and all manner of rubbish so that it appears these creatures are living in a small dump. It’s easy for me to buy stuff (esp. books) and very hard to part with things. I have a friend who is a minimalist, so you can see a potential source of conflict right there. I am not always grateful to her efforts to keep my collections in check either!

This morning I was reading about a 10 year old kid in England that put out a 10 track CD. He is making waves online and social media. The key point for me was that the kid doesn’t speak because he is autistic but he can sing. Hmm. What is stopping me again from being a beneficial presence in the world? I love reading these stories as they remind me to keep going. I often think about the minds of people with autism. What are they hearing, seeing or feeling? How is the world through their filters?

How many times have you found yourself rolling over in bed and wondering what day is it? Sometimes I find myself tracing back my steps as I look up at the ceiling, trying to figure out what I did the night before. Somewhere along the line I have a light-bulb moment, while rushing for the cellphone to look at the time. Oh it’s so and so day and I must be there in 30 minutes.

Are we aware yet that society changes when we change what we’re embarrassed about. I could find so many changes right now that we have been through because someone was ashamed and spoke up about it:

Once in four years, just once, perhaps we could:
Forgive, forget, relax, care, stand out, speak up, contribute, embrace, create, make a ruckus, give credit, skip, smile, speak truth and refuse to compromise–more than we usually do. Pick just one or two and start there.
Hey, it’s just one day.
Careful, though, it might become a habit.
It is IMPOSSIBLE to KNOW what you don’t know. Look at your life as it is right now. If it’s going great, GREAT! If not, what exactly do you intend to do about it?

As 2011 comes to an end many people engage in a reviewing and renewing process. This process may consist of looking over our 2011 list or vision board to see what has actually been accomplished, experienced or still pending. It also includes looking forward to the next 12 months with great anticipation, desire and intention setting. This process is much different than goal setting and making a resolution.
For some of us this review, release and renew period is something done alone and for others it begin in a spiritual community with meditation, visioning, prayer, music, silence and the creation of their personal vision board. Personally I find this activity powerful as people come together and the collective consciousness ushers in individual revelations as the group engages in visioning for their 2012 life & beyond.

The holidays are probably the few times when people collectively lose all sense about their finances, outside of purchasing a new home, planning for a wedding, and preparing for a new baby. Fortunately, holiday spending is where people can have a great amount of control over how much they choose to spend.
In fact, some people opt not to spend money for the holidays at all!
While most of us have no desire to go to that extreme, almost everyone can benefit from keeping a closer eye on holiday spending. Not only does holiday spending add up, it happens year after year – eventually accumulating into an avalanche of lost earnings.
Often people let excessive holiday spending sabotage their future successes. People often start the new year with credit card debt from the previous year’s shopping binge. Why set yourself up for a poor start and very little to show for it?
What if you could channel that money into more positive, lasting endeavors? What if you could use some of that money for experiences rather than stuff and holiday decorations that you’re only going to pull out for one or two months every year?
Aside from typical big life events, think of the ways that having a budget can help you with your future successes.
It’s easy to get caught up in the daily grind of life. You wake up, put in a good chunk of your day towards a job that (at best) you feel indifferent about, sit in traffic driving back home, and finally kill a few hours watching television or surfing the Internet before going back to bed. Next thing you know, it’s morning and time to start it all over again. And again. And again. It all becomes one big, meaningless blur, doesn’t it?
You start wondering to yourself: “Is this it? Is this all there is?” You ask yourself what your life purpose is, but you always come up blank. So you keep doing what you’ve always done.
Does this sound like you? Do you feel like you’re missing something, but you can’t put your finger on it?
Fortunately, the answers that you need to start living anew are already inside you.
