Do you ever take the time to notice your environment? I don’t mean THE environment. I mean your personal evironment. We all have multiple environments. There is our home environment, our work environment, our community environment. We even have environments for our health, relationships, spirit, and finances. Most of us never think about any of this much less take the necessary time to tend to each one making sure that they are healthy and functioning at an optimal level. It’s important to understand this concept and be vigilent of how each of our environments is serving us. Is your home cluttered causing you to spend extra time looking for items you need? How about your financial environment? Do you just allow your money to come and go and never know what happened to it or where you spent it all? Do you tend your relationships with care or take them for granted? When our environments are messy and untended so are our lives. It makes it hard to focus, plan, set goals and see things to fruition. As a result we often feel overwhelmed and further ignore the problem by numbing ourselves in front of the television, overeating, or otherwise trying to find solace in something that makes us forget for awhile why we’re really here and who we really are. If any of your environments is out of whack and not serving you it can cause an imbalance in your life that can have a domino effect on all the other areas. I’m not saying that you have to be perfect. None of us are. But being aware of your environments and how they’re affecting your life allows you to make the necessary adjustments that help your life flow smoothly. Take an honest look at your environments this week and see where you can tidy up a bit. I think you’ll find when you do that life gets easier and you free yourself up to have more time and enjoyment in your life. I think you’ll also find that clearing out the clutter opens up space for more of the good stuff to come in.
