May is a month where we start to feel the positive effects of an approaching summer. The evenings are brighter, we feel an awakening of new energy and definitely more fun in the air.
At this point you may have reached one or more of your goals from the new year list. If so I hope you've pushed on and established new ones to keep the momentum. If you got stuck you may have revisited the goals to see if they are really what you wanted. If you are still heading towards the goal but are finding yourself distracted from it, then now is the time to get refocused.
One of the best ways of doing this is to declutter your space. Feng Shui recognises the importance of keeping the energy flowing around your home, and decluttering is the best way of freeing up all energy stuck in your space. It cannot be emphasised enough how much better you will feel from getting rid of anything that seems to just pile up.
For May, apply some time to sorting out each room in your house. Get rid of anything you haven't used in the last while. Organise your paperwork on bills or simply put any unwanted paper clutter into the recycling bin. Clear out your wardrobe and bag the dull clothes that don't work for a charity shop drop off. Dust, hoover and open the windows wide.
All of this creates positive energy in your home and thus provides a better environment for you to get refocused and energised. This in turn allows you to put your focus back onto your goals and you'll find yourself decluttering these too. As a result you will be back on track and moving forward in the direction you want and stand a better chance of getting things done.
Decluttering is always a good step to take when you find yourself slowing your pace and getting stuck when making new changes in your life.
On a side note, just for a bit of fun, buy some seeds or bulbs that you can use to represent your goals. Plant them now so you can watch them grow and remind yourself that change is a process that takes time but the fruits of the labour are worth it!
