Even though we may tend to think of decluttering as an external and physical activity, it can also be something that can involve inward reflection. For example, we all likely have goals, hopes and dreams that we have personally set for ourselves, but do we ever take the time to declutter these? Maybe a few years back you set a goal for yourself of getting into the best shape of your life by working out every single day. Nothing wrong with that right?

Now fast forward to present day and perhaps you start to realize that you have not been able to adhere to this goal, as every day is a lot. You have made great strides in your health and wellness journey but are feeling disappointed because you have not been working out every day. All of the hard work and effort feel diminished in your mind because of this lack of achievement (which perhaps was a bit overly ambitious, but I digress…). But guess what? You are restricting all of your success by clinging to an old goal or hope or dream; instead, declutter this goal and move it along. Invite in a new goal, such as continuing on your great path you have already started and is itself showing rewards.

Goals and hopes and dreams can be decluttered in much the same way that we would declutter a cabinet in our kitchen or a drawer in our clothes closet - go through these intentions, and get rid of the ones that are no longer serving you. Life happens, things change and we should allow ourselves to change our aspirations as well so that they do not hinder us and hold us down. Allow yourself the luxury of re-evaluating and maybe even changing your goals so that past predictions are not preventing you from future fulfillment!
