Simplify! It's Good for the Soul
Summary
Inspired by Henry David Thoreau's book Walden, the message to simplify resonates deeply. While Thoreau chose to live in the woods, we don't have to go to such extremes to embrace simplicity. His profound statement, "A man is rich in effort to what he can afford to let alone," teaches us that simplifying enriches the soul and can purify our energy.

Thoreau's Walden offers timeless wisdom with its call to "Simplify! Simplify!" Although he embraced a life in the woods, we don't need to isolate ourselves in nature to connect with his message. Thoreau's insight, "A man is rich in effort to what he can afford to let alone," highlights that true richness comes from simplicity.
Consider this for a moment. Does the clarity resonate with you? Simplifying not only nurtures the soul, but it also purifies our energy, benefiting both body and spirit.
As summer arrives in upstate New York, it's the perfect time to clear the old and welcome the new. Simplicity may require effort, but it can also be a fulfilling spiritual practice. Here are three suggestions to make your journey enjoyable and meaningful:
Take It Slow
In my book Spiritual Fitness: The 7-Steps to Living Well, I compare clearing out closets to cleansing the soul. This exercise allows space for fresh and new experiences. Start by taking an hour to assess your belongings. Ask yourself, "What can I let go of to create space for something new?" Identify what you've been holding onto that, if released, could invite something better.
What Serves Me?
As you evaluate each item, consider its usefulness. I often say aloud to the universe, "How does this (suit, pair of shoes, stack of papers) serve me?" If I can justify keeping it, I do; if not, it's time to let it go. It's that simple.
Affirm: I Already Have Everything I Need
Remember, the universe provides. We already possess everything we need. I recall visiting a friend's home where the Christmas tree still stood in summer?"a message to the universe about holding onto things. As you clear your space, affirm: "God provides. I already have everything I could possibly need."
Assignment: Clean Out Your Space
Mentally segment your home, focusing on rooms or cluttered corners. For any area harboring excess items, make it its own section. Tackle one section at a time. Evaluate each item, decide if it serves you, and if not, bless it and let it go.
Unsure about an item? Keep it temporarily. Place it in a box, and once full, review each item again. Seal the box and date it for one year from today's date. When that date arrives, discard or donate the contents. This is an ongoing process. While you don’t need to relinquish all possessions like Thoreau, continually renew your space and welcome the new. You'll be amazed at what can replace the old.
Simplifying isn't just an act?"it's a pathway to spiritual growth and well-being, inviting new and wonderful opportunities.
