I like to see life from a more spiritual, dreamy perspective. To put things into context by seeing that nothing is random. I can remember the time before I learned more about how the universe works, that I didn’t understand how things were, but that I also felt that I didn’t understand it and that I sort of was looking to find out what I believed in. It now feels insane to think that something can be random. There isn’t  a huge, important reason for everything, but there is a reason nonetheless. It makes my life richer and more magical to see beyond the physical. Also it is much easier to navigate through life when you understand why things are happening. It gives me some kind of predictability too. I like to share about my life but to also give a sense of meaning and how it can apply to other people’s lives, so that it can inspire or help in a way. 

  The past weeks, actually months, I’ve been going through such a huge transformation in my life. I believe that if you change something about your mindset and your internal emotional landscape, then your life will change as well. I have just recently moved into a new apartment (again). This time, hopefully, to stay a bit longer…. In the moving process, I realized I didn’t want to bring my old stuff. I had so much stuff that I’ve been dragging around me everywhere I moved, and I have moved almost once a year! This time though, I was done with the old stuff. I think that I was ready for some type of renewal. I have given away so much stuff and also thrown away a lot of stuff. I now have full overview over what I own and where it is. No more old crap. It feels like a complete cleanse of my personal energy. 

As I’ve been letting stuff go, new and more positive things started to come into my life. Actually, I spilled tea over my computer and then had to buy a new computer as well, which I had not accounted for. Not the best timing financially. But anyways, I am welcoming the new on all levels. It felt so good that all the stuff that I had piled up on that old computer died with it (except for the important stuff which I had a back up for, luckily!!). 

This new apartment is so much better for my psyche. I have realized just how much my surroundings are affecting me. To drag with me all sorts of old energy was certainly not what I needed. Now I want to bring in more plants into my home, more positive vibrations and live a bit more minimalistic. Organizing stuff, eating healthier and stop piling up things I don’t need.

Especially, I didn’t want to store a lot of stuff in my cellar or attic to deal with it later. I wanted to get things over and done with. I don’t know a lot about feng shui, but it really resonates with me that the cellar is a symbol of our subconscious mind.  I must say that my subconscious is very tidy right now, not a lot of mess there…. I really believe that what is outside of me is a reflection of what is on the inside. And so I think that all the inner work that I do has paid off and manifested in a new home that is much better for me. It is much more in support of my inner peace. It’s easier to motivate myself to do my asana practice and to do pranayama and meditation here. I will write about how to create a home yoga practice and make it a daily routine in my next blog, so stay tuned to that!  

I have set the intention to become a bit more healthy. Although I am already very aware of what I eat, I want to level up. It’s part of the renewing process. I am learning more about what types of food I should eat in the morning to keep my energy levels stable and not overeat later in the day. Also eating more raw vegetables and more omega 3. 

This process of letting go has been the theme in my life for the past weeks. I hope that it can inspire you too. What do you want to let go of and what are you ready to take in?
