Much like deep house cleaning, cleaning the toxicity out of your life is not an easy task. I am left with some serious introspection and self doubt. Much like I begin to feel after several hours of cleaning. I look at the mess I have made and think to myself..."why did I start this, why not just shove it all in the closets and under the sofa where it appears clean?" The answer is simple, I know it's dirty and that is what matters most.
The dirt, just like the toxic relationships in your life will eat away at you because you know it's not right yet find reasons to avoid remedying it. You can ignore it for a while but eventually it effects every aspect of your being. It's a good thing, cleaning. It is tiresome. It is inconvenient. And often, time consuming. But very necessary.
Our literal space is relevant to our spiritual and mental space. Clutter free and clean is best. So while I ponder the reasons for dust so thick I could play hangman in it, I will also ponder why I have allowed the relationships that no longer exist to steal my energy. And much like the exhausting house cleaning, there is a way to stay on top of things!
