If you’re at home, then take one minute to look around your living space. If you’re not at home, visualize where you live.

Did you notice anything out of place? More specifically, did you notice things that you once loved or valued, only to see that they don’t seem to call to you as much anymore?

Did you see a movie that you’ll probably never watch again? Does your bookshelf have some books that you know without a doubt that you’ll never read again? Are there foods in the freezer that you can’t remember when you bought and can’t imagine when you’d ever eat or buy again? And last but not least, does your closet have clothes that you haven’t worn in years, but you keep holding onto because you feel like you might need them for a specific purpose in the future?

These are all things which are bringing extra weight to your life.

It may not seem like it, and this blog entry may even sound trivial, but the power of the simple practice of cleansing out some unnecessary things in your life can bring you increased joy. Don’t take my word for it though, and you don’t need to throw anything out to discover the truth for yourself. Instead, try this.

If you don’t already have one, write down your “To Do” list. In a brief time, list as many things as you can think of such as doing laundry, grocery shopping, paying rent/mortgage, and whatever else you can think of. Be sure to include things that take up only a few seconds or a minute, as well as items that take up significant amounts of time.

Now look at the list and find the one which will take the least amount of time to complete, then go do it. After you do it, stand in front of your list and close your eyes for 10 seconds while you focus on your breathing. Then cross off that item from your list.

If you slowed down enough, you probably noticed, at the very least, a slight feeling of satisfaction from removing that item from your list. The reason for this is because all of those “To Do” list items are “loose ends” that are subtle drains on your energy. They’re just like when you were younger and your mother nagged you to do your chores or your homework that kept you from having the real fun in life (even if you were out playing… you probably dreaded coming home to be nagged, yet again).

This same subtle energy is the one I’m talking about when you look around and notice things that seem “out of place” because you just don’t use them or aren’t interested in them anymore. These items represent a part of your personality that isn’t as strong or present anymore. By having these “loose ends” present in your life, your energy is pulled away and scattered in directions that are not consistent with the way you’re currently living your life. Don’t believe me?

Just look in your closet again…
