Life sweeping is a term I use to mean a lot of things
* making a fresh start in big ways or small
* clearing the decks to make ways for new projects, new ideas even new stuff
* finding new easier ways to do things to free up your time
* improving your life in all kinds of ways
I like it because it reminds me of phrases like making a clean sweep of it and making sweeping changes
Of course, making sweeping changes is seductive – who doesn’t like the idea of washing the slate clean and making a fresh start? I certainly do.
But with humans being creatures of habit, the best way for you to implement changes and make them stick is often to take them one step at a time and allow yourself to get used to the idea.
Life Sweeping - one brush stroke at a time
So while life sweeping will bring about fundamental, wonderful changes in your life, give yourself permission to go gently – a few cobwebs here, a few dust bunnies there rather than killing yourself with a whole house remodeling job all at once!
If you don’t take yourself too seriously and cut yourself a bit of slack, improving your life can be fun – after all, if it’s not, why do it? Enjoy the journey as well as the destination as they say and don’t worry about when you’ll arrive.
If you take your time and enjoy the process, what you’ll learn about yourself while you make your life improvements one by one will be as valuable as the changes you are making.
And remember you can make changes in all areas of your life whether it’s work, finance, health, relationships or hobbies and it doesn’t have to be serious. You can improve your home, your wardrobe or your collection of gadgets. Who cares as long as you feel it makes your life better!
Have fun life sweeping….
