5/21/2017 0 Comments Declutter!"Do you ever feel like you have too much stuff, and too many items that require maintenance, cleaning, payments, or other resources? Do you get distracted away from your spiritual path because of obsessions with acquiring material goods? Do you harbor guilt? These are signs of a need to declutter.The key is to discern between what we need and what we want. Needs are the basics that support our day-to-day life. Wants are desires with an ego basis, such as trying to impress others, jealousy, envy, or competitiveness. Wants are attempts to fill up emptiness with material things. There is a fantasy that if you just could have this one thing, then you'd finally feel happy. That people would admire and love you. But that fantasy never comes true, because true happiness comes from feeling loved for who you are, and not for what you own. Having too many material items, causes stress and distraction from the true path to happiness. You can have more time by decluttering, and help others along the way by donating or selling items. You can also declutter your schedule by taking time to pray for guidance about how to spend your time; and declutter your thoughts and feelings by choosing carefully to only read or listen to that which is supportive. What a relief it is to let go of these heavy burdens! Here's a helpful prayer: Dear God, please help me to discern between needs and wants. Thank you for sending your teacher the Holy Spirit to show me when I am desiring something because of ego-based insecurities, so that I can heal these fears in a healthy way. Please show me how to be truly happy."
