People like “stuff.” We tend
to hold onto it year after year. We save and stock up on
things that we don’t know what to do with anymore. Maybe
we keep things because they hold precious memories of
days gone by, or they remind us of our parents,
grandparents, past loves or childhood. To part with
these precious possessions seems out of the question.
There is a saying that goes, “You have to get rid of the
old to make way for the new.” If you are feeling stuck
or stagnant in your life, try spring-cleaning.
Throw out some of that
stuff, say goodbye to your past, and welcome the new
energy of your happy, healthy future. |

For good mental and physical health, we actually have two
“houses” that need to be spring-cleaned: our physical homes
and our physical bodies. Just as we accumulate “stuff” in
the form of outgrown clothes, magazines, rusty bicycles,
tools and random keepsakes, so do our bodies accumulate old
food residues and toxins that need to be cleaned out.
To spring clean your body, give it a break from rich and
complicated foods by either cleansing or fasting for a short
period of time. Cleansing means paring down your food to
just simple fruits and vegetables, lots of water and perhaps
whole grains. Fasting means limiting most foods and drinking
lots of water, fresh vegetable and fruit juices, teas and
soups. Without much energy going towards digestion, more
energy is available to the rest of your body and mind.
Cleansing and fasting can sharpen your concentration and
help you gain insight. It can also bring improved immune
function, increased energy, weight loss and better
digestion.
While you’re cleaning out your body and home, don’t forget
to spring-clean your heart. Throw away negative thoughts and
habits you’ve been harboring that no longer serve you. A
clean, open heart will allow you to receive all the good
that awaits you each and every day. If your heart and mind
are cluttered, there is no room for life’s gifts and
surprises to enter.
