Ever since the Spring Equinox my energy has shifted. I’ve been waking up earlier, feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day. It’s a welcome shift as earlier mornings bring more me-time. That hour of solitude before the kids wake up is the most sacred part of my day, and tees it up for more ease and flow.

I’ve also been in total clean-out mode. Literally that first official weekend of spring, I began cleaning out every drawer, closet, nook, and cranny of our home. There is still more to be done, but we’ve made major progress. You should have seen our basement—yikes! We’ve donated multiple car loads of clothes and toys, and I’ve consigned some items of my own. It feels so good!

As I went through my closet, I kept my Inspired Self in mind. I had items that I have been holding on to for nearly a decade thinking that I might wear them at some point—but the truth is, I’m no longer 27-year-old Natalie. Not even close! I decided to be super intentional with what deserved a spot in my closet. If it was not something I’d wear as the Inspired Self version of me, it was tossed. You know that feeling of putting on something new or an outfit that you feel really good in? When you do, you naturally vibe on a higher frequency and become more magnetic. My goal is to bring that to my every day, not just special occasions. And as someone who works from home, this takes effort.

Everything is energy, including our stuff. If you’re feeling bogged down, look around you. Is there clutter building up in your home, office, car, or anywhere else you spend time? Clear it out and notice the effects on your mind, energy, and spirit. When you clear your physical space, you also clear your psychic space. Decluttering opens you up to experiencing a greater sense of connection, clarity, and freedom. It also signals to the Universe the flow of abundance—as you let go of the old, there is room for the new to flow in. I invite you to bring that intention to your next clean out: “I let go of these items and welcome in new opportunities and higher frequencies that serve my highest good and the good of all.”

I also invite you get present and take it all in, especially the energy. If you’re anything like me, you love when your home is clean—maybe to a point of obsession—and it’s not just because it looks nice. Yes, of course it is more aesthetically pleasing, but it also just feels good. A clean, organized home carries a different energy than a hoarder’s palace. And as a result, it shifts the energy in you, too. This is something to keep in mind as you think about your life as it is, what you’re already manifesting, and what you want to call in next.
