Hitting the Reset Button

The universe will always remind us that in order to move forward, first we must let go. Sometimes this change comes naturally and other times like a bat out of hell.

If your house is a disorganized mess, so then likely is your life. If your storage area is filled with boxes stuffed with your past, then you are probably also physically holding on to those emotions and wounds too.

If you are ignoring financial obligations, most likely you are shortchanging yourself from prosperity in more than just your bank account.

If your calendar is so full you have to check it just to see if you have time to make a phone call to a friend, there’s very good chance you are also experiencing adrenal fatigue.

If you consistently ignore the fundamental chores and repairs in your home, then you’re probably also not meeting your basic emotional needs. Just like the clogged bathroom sink you’ve avoided dealing with for a month, your emotions are likely starting to back up, and eventually, they too will flood.

Look around, see what’s in front of you, examine your household habits, then ask yourself— where else does that show up in my life? I’ll bet you won’t be surprised by the answers. With cleaning comes healing.

6 Ways to Restart Your Life

  1. Acknowledge the past, all of it, the lessons, the blessings, the pain, all that has led you to right here in this moment.

  2. Release all that no longer serves you, and mean it. Record and then literally ignite it. Know that as each burden burns away in written form, so it does in you. It’s gone. Done. Over. Let it be not your fuel, but instead only a spark that lit your fire.

  3. Clean and polish. Go through your belongings and rid yourself of the incomplete and wanting. If it’s broken, doesn’t work, or is missing parts throw it out. If you don’t use it, give it away. If it’s unfinished, clear some space to resolve it or remove it from your list. Lighten your metaphorical and literal loads.

  4. Express your gratitude to the universe, thanking the Divine for all it has provided thus far. Return to the good. Sit in it. Meditate. Envision your life as you want it to be. See it, touch it, taste it, smell it, feel it. Create a mental imprint of your future, a marker for your soul to find.

  5. Declare who and what you want to manifest now. Announce it. Write it down. Own it. Be bold and unapologetic in your claim. It’s already yours.

  6. Take positive action right now. Make a mantra, chose a word, create an emblem or symbol that will remind you, again and again, and then again, of what you want.

Now, wait and watch while continuing to move forward in intention. What you want is coming. Be ready and be open.
