Spring cleaning

Spring is the time we wake up from the winter slumber with renewed energy. We open the windows and let the fresh air come in. We take out the patio set and clean the deck. We redecorate. We clean up the garden of the dried plants to make place for new ones. We clean up our closets, getting rid of unwanted clothes. Isn’t it a good time to let go of unwanted things in other areas of our lives - for example in our work life, personal life or relationships? What can you let go of today in order to make more time and space in your life? I am letting go of unrealistic and narrow expectations that tell me it is only one way to do something in order to be accepted/good.

Balance

Many people talk about balance - work life balance. What about the balance between your inner and outer life, between the time you spend alone, meditating, journaling and otherwise connecting to your inner self, versus the time you spend in the outside world, working, socializing, participating in activities. How do you stay in touch with yourself? I find it useful when I feel overwhelmed or too busy, to stop, even for a few minutes, and breathe, meditate, pray or ask my intuition what do I need most right now.
