This is day four of my new weekly hashtags so if you missed any, be sure to go back and scan through my blog for the first set. #TrashItThursday is exactly what you might think it is, get rid of stuff. Declutter your living space. Declutter your working space. Declutter your life. And, declutter your mind. If you want to succeed in life as well as live a healthy life, you have to take out the trash, literally and figuratively. Start with your living space. The more stuff that it lying around, the more you will subconsciously think of it. It is constantly in your face and whether you realize it or not, it’s tormenting you mentally. Get boxes or bins and put things away. If you hold the item in your hands and it holds no meaning for you, trash it. Next, tackle your work space. How messy is your work space? Clear that desk. It’s hard to work with thousands of papers and magazines everywhere. Even I have a hard time with this one but I make it a point to go through my two main piles of paper at least once a week and I trash whatever I don’t need. I get a real feeling of accomplishment when the pile goes down and I have completed something. I also just recently got a larger trash can for my office so when I’m in trash it mode I can now trash much more than I usually do. It almost sounds silly but it works. Next, declutter your life. What do I mean by this? Stop taking on more than you can handle. How do you do this? Start saying no. I don’t care if there are a thousand people in your life, you are still one person who is building your life and building your dreams so if it has nothing to do with you and there is too much on your plate, learn to say no. Learn to delegate chores. Let someone else do things that tie you down. Think of you and stop trying to be everything to everyone. Most important in decluttering your life is to get rid of toxic people who are destroying your happiness and draining all your energy. These people are like leaches and will take from you until they destroy all that’s left of you. There is no way at all to function in your life, to grow your business or to make your dreams come true until you trash this toxicity from your life. You know who these people are so just do it. Finally, declutter your mind. We and we alone torment and torture our minds. We have to learn to let it go. When you’re in one of those moments where you just can’t think straight because you have a thousand things racing through your mind, stop. Consciously stop yourself, close your eyes, take deep and slow breaths and just clear your mind. Then, trash unnecessary thoughts. Stop worrying about things you can’t change. If you can’t change it, trash it and move on with your life. Leave your mind with just the important things that you can work on and more importantly the things you want to work on. Trash It Thursday is a great way to start making incredible changes in your life. Start implementing it today.
