Pleasing our Foremothers this Spring!

In so many ways, I really do understand the concept of spring cleaning (yes, I am trying to convince myself….and charm my foremothers!).

When asked at a recent Norwex party what my least favorite household chore was, I had the word out of my mouth before she finished the question.

Dusting.

I am unpologetic about my distaste for those tiny specs that fly in the air and then make you chase them. When you capture the little beasts they reappear on another surface. I swear they have little faces with devilish smiles.

Humor aside, the sort of dusting I would like to address today is of a different sort. And perhaps more challenging.

Your dusty thoughts and persistent worries. The misty clutter in your mind.

This project could be a lofty undertaking. So, just start slowly and see where the particles fly.

What negative or unaffirming messages do you feed your mind that just need a good wipe down? What old thought patterns keep you stuck and need a thorough scrubbing?

I don’t have enough…..

I am not good at….

I wish I had more…….

What will I do if….

How will I ever…..

Oh no, not another bad day…..

Just take one. Turn it around. Give it a new coat of paint.

I wish I had more……But I am so grateful for what I do have. If I am not grateful for what I already have, how could I want more. I will re-evaluate what plenty is. I will express gratitude right now.

Today is already starting off on the wrong foot. I am going to dust that thought away. Because your day and my day is filled with 24 hours and tons of minutes. The potential for goodness is enormous. Maybe I need to take a deep breath. I am going to smile in the mirror.image

Spring cleaning gives freshness to house and home and thoughts and heart.

This season, de-clutter your mind and allow fresh new ideas to seep in. Let go of those nagging worries that are out of your control. Make this exercise a part of your spring cleaning.

I challenge you to let springtime inspire….even your dusting. Our foremothers would be delighted!

I am still trying many of the products. I love the dryer balls. The cleaning cloths literally chase those little beasts away for good because of their brilliant technology. Spring cleaning could be fun?

  1. I remember my mom making me dust when I was little and it made no sense to me. I never saw any dust. Here I wait until there’s a nice layer.

    Mind dusting is tricky. That’s for sure! Working on it.
