Summertime and finding space

Have you had one of those days when everything is in the wrong place and you spend a long time just looking for things?

I used to have that experience All. The. Time.

But then…..I decided to take control!

I cleared out cupboards, closets, the garage. Basically every spot in my house. No drawer un-turned.

And you know what happened?

Nothing. Nope, I still spent an inordinate amount of time looking for things.

So then……..I decided to take even more control!

I created mantras to clear space, I visualized clear space, I talked about clear space, I journaled about clear space, I added photos to my vision boards about clear space.

And you know what happened?

Nothing. Nope, still spending time looking for things.

Finally……I decided to cede control.

I stopped clearing things, I stopped visualizing clear spaces, I stopped.

Everything.

Then I waited and watched.

Know what happened?

My house stayed clear.  Everything was magically where it belonged. I no longer wasted any time looking for things.

Now, if I need something, I go right to where it is supposed to be.  If for some reason, it is not there, I say to myself – well I guess I did not need that today and go on about my day without said thing.

It is freeing and relaxing at the same time.

Now, I have time to remember that it’s Summertime and the livin is easy

I have moved past the maze of looking for things and into the labyrinth of ease.

The Labyrinth has just one way in and one way out – light, simple, restful.

So, my question to you….Are you in a maze or in a labyrinth? Are you willing to cede control? Where? When?
