With all our best intentions and rich resources, why is it so hard to slow down, simplify, and care for ourselves? Why do most clearing efforts fall short or peter out?

The reason may lie in the simple fact that we perceive there is no time to juggle it all, let alone clear the things and thoughts that have caused us to feel so overwhelmed in the first place.

In order for any clearing process to be effective and sustainable it is important to remember the following:

• For clearing to last you need to put yourself first. You won’t make a dent in reducing the stress and stuff until you’ve healed the patterns that created it. If you don’t feel safe, you won’t let go. Clearing is an inside job that begins and ends with you.

• For clearing to last you need to change your mindset. Clearing is not something you “do” or squeeze into your life. It’s a way of life – a journey – that doesn’t always add up, make sense, or go in a straight line. Clearing is not about “getting rid of.” It’s about letting go of the things and thoughts that get in the way of realizing your true nature and best life.
• For clearing to last you need to slow down. Clearing old habits and resisting behaviors is not possible until you slow it …way… down. In a world that is all about speed, this requires awareness. Daily doses of it. “Slow drip” efforts applied consistently over time are the real game changer here.
