Clean As You Go
You ever looked around your house, apartment, bedroom or office recently? Have you ever wondered “Wow”, “how did I get so much stuff?” “Where did it all come from?” The big mysterious questions actually comes from a very obvious answer… cause we’re humans! Its in our nature to accumulate or collect things in our lives.
Whether it be memories, emotions, past experiences, artifacts (some worth more than others, other peoples trash is treasure to some), or just stuff. It is a slow, subtle building up and piling up that happens day to day. Until one day we look around and say “dang! where did all this stuff come from?” or “Man, I gotta lot of crap in my life!” (especially if you’re an infomercial junkie). The anal-organized people like myself will say “I need to get organized” meaning, I gotta clean up all the crap in my life or put’em on craigslist.
For some unexplained reasons we wait or procrastinate to clean up till we have a special guest or someone we want to impress is coming to see us. But by this time it is either overwhelming or its going to take us hours to clean just to bring back some kind of normalcy. The crazy thing is that after we clean, in a few weeks it is right back where we started.
On a physical level, “Clean as You Go” means to throw away things you don’t need, put things back where they belong, give away things you no longer want on a daily and weekly basis. Monthly you can do a more thorough sorting, cleaning, and giving. You will find that you’re not playing “catch up” everyday just to catch up!
But do you know that on an emotional level, we do the same things that we do with our stuff ?… we accumulate and let it pile up! Some of the emotions, voices, or unpleasant memories we keep are from 20 years ago (for you younger peeps, 5 to 10 years ago). We allow the false perceptions, lies, half-trues to clutter our minds and emotions, some even get deep into our soul. There is a huge difference between true and truth, but because of the emotional clutter we accumulated, we have a hard time discerning what is true or what is truth, what to believe, who to believe, what to keep, and what to toss. It is overwhelming when change or transformation is needed. We all need to change at some point in our lives.
If we choose to make “Clean as You Go” a habit on a emotional level, Life will become so much less complicated, stressful, and difficult.
When you apply this simple leadership principle “Clean as You Go” you can rid yourself of all the clutter that piles up in our life whether it be a physical, mental or emotional so we can truly enjoy life and the relationships around us without the extra weight or baggage, that we got so used to taking with us wherever we go. That’s why you will notice you sometimes naturally react in a negative way in certain situations, old unpleasant emotions start to bubble up, and the very person you said you’ll “never become”, you are now that person.
We say we don’t have enough time to clean, but in reality we have time for partying, xbox, booty hunting, tv, eating or anything but clean because we don’t understand how it will hurt or bite us in the future.
You can Free Yourself today by taking a few simple steps:
1. Take the time to cleanup and clean out all of the emotional stuff that you no longer need or want. Get rid of them!
2. Ask someone close to you that you trust, to help you process to bring truth and a clearer perspective to some of your beliefs and life theories.
3. Each day, “Clean as You Go” in all areas of your life so it won’t become overwhelming and a burden when the time comes when you “have to” do it.
