Cleaning Up Your Life Issues

In the process of sweeping up some leaves a few days ago, as the season of Fall brings about the loss of life and color in the leaves, I was reminded about the things that need cleaning up in our own lives.  Many people have issues that they have needed to deal with for some time, however, due to a number of reasons the act of procrastination can sometimes get the best of folks.  Whether it is a tough conversation that you need to have with another person, facing a personal longstanding issue or simple clean up of clutter that you have been putting off for some time, all needs its moment in the spotlight.   Similar to a lawn or garden that is filled with leaves or weeds that are impeding your surroundings to look their best, our own lives have that type of necessity as well.  When we hold on to things that are not for our own good, they tend to fester and we may lose the ability to focus on the things that are most important.  Without knowing it, one can begin to show signs of this imbalance in the day-to-day activities that would normally flow without any concern.  When things bother us, we tend to not sleep as well at night, we start paying less attention to the things that we need to for our own personal health or growth and all things start becoming evident in our daily routines.  The manifestations can have many forms, however, the solution is all within you.  Only you can determine how long you will carry a grudge, live in denial or fail to address the things that need your attention.  It is not too hard to pinpoint this out when you realize that there must be an issue when you see a familiar face that appears out of sorts.  Sometimes looking in the mirror, one realizes that that face is actually your own. Don't let time get away from you anymore and if something needs to be cleaned up, put your heart and effort into completing this task.  Although our lives may fill up with other issues or concerns, similar to the many leaves that continue to fall from those Autumn trees, one must be diligent in the clean up process.  It is only then that peace of mind can connect with your body and restore your restful night sleep.  In addition your sunnier disposition may finally be brought back to the present moment after taking an unplanned prolonged absence.  The clean up process always involves some work and sometimes it is not the most pleasant.  However, in the end you will breathe a sigh of relief and feel more weight taken off your shoulders as you take responsibility for the transformation to live a better life.
