Today I couldn't decide how to use my day. What should I do first?
My list of "to-dos" was long and eating at me, but I couldn't seem to figure out what to do or how to make any dents in those projects.
What could I do so that I could feel like I was making some progress? How could I get rid of the self-doubt and the feeling that the path was uncertain? Nothing was clear and fear had crept in.
So, I gave up and started to organize. I cleared the clutter. I sorted through the old. I tossed and recycled. I reminisced and remembered. I made new lists. I created new systems and made space.
I gained strength. I gained perspective. I gained confidence.
I am again and again reminded that to move forward we need to clear the clutter of the past. Clear the heaviness, clear the old thoughts & patterns, clear the way for new ideas and growth.
I read recently that doing inner work is like window washing. We are clearing up the lens that we have been looking through. If we have a muddled view, then we will see the world as muddled. If we have junk piled up, then we won't be able to find any space.
I want so badly for things to be quick, easy, and clear, but in order to see progress I need to go through the process of cleaning up. Preparing. Organizing and making space.
I will clear the way and be ready.

Do you need a little window cleaning?
How are you seeing the world and what might have piled up while you were busy living?
