Start off the New Year with a Bang

Posted by Donna DeVane on December 27, 2009

A lot of people make New Year’s Resolutions only to fall back into old habits a few months in. Here are a few tips to help you stay on course for the whole year.

First get rid of 50 items in 24 hours. There are lots of things, stacks of magazines, toys, shoes, clothing, etc, that are not being used. They are just taking up space and making you feel cluttered. Go through closets and release these unused items. Move into the kitchen, sort through those “junk” drawers. You will quickly realize why we call them junk drawers.

If you have a garage or storage building go through and get rid of things you haven’t used in the last 2-3 years. Chances are if you have used it or worn it in 2-3 years you will not. Letting go of unused items frees up your home and you for new to move in. Be aware of emotional connections to the clearing out process. Sort through these as well.

A few years ago I had a client who told me of a painting at the foot of her staircase. Each morning when she came downstairs she saw that painting and felt bad. It was connected to something painful in her past. I suggested she throw it out. After much thinking on her part she got rid of it. A few days later she called to tell me how wonderful it was coming downstairs first thing in the morning now. If you have an emotional connection to something that doesn’t feel good.. THROW IT OUT! And the emotional connection as well.

After the sorting process is finished take it to the trash, call a charity to pick it up or get online to find a Free Cycle near you where you can re-house the items. I love using free cycle for toys, clothes and furniture. It keeps the landfills clearer and helps others who need these items.

Next move through your home with a bell, incense or smudge, walking around the walls of each room. This clears stagnant energy and brings a fresh feel to your home. Arrange the furniture, pictures etc in a pleasing way. Place a stone or bowl of crystals in each room to remind you to stay aware of the “energy” of each room in the home. A Feng Shui Sun-catcher is also helpful to bring positive energy into the home.

Now sit down and make a list of all the things you’ve accomplished this year. Note where you’ve grown in wisdom and understanding, all the goals you’ve accomplished. Pat yourself on the back a few times. Make a second list of all the things you would like to experience in the new year. Keep these lists together so that as you make a new note of something desired you will be reminded of what you’ve accomplished.

Come back to the 50 in 24 hours exercise several times during the year. You will find it easier each time to release stuff and the emotions that you’ve been holding onto as well.

Happy New Year!
