Learning patience during my 90-Day Summer Simplifying Challenge is not easy for me. I wanted the stuff to just be gone. POOF! That is not the journey. Read my 90-Day Summer Simplifying Manifesto!!
A Recovering Magpie’s Patience
OKAY, up front I admit:{Coming clean} Exploring the possibility of being patient with myself and with the process was a hurdle for me. Patience is not my long suit.
The lessons I am learning during my 90-Day Summer Simplifying Challenge are big. The whole picture is coming into focus. And I am seeing a future of simplicity.
My Summer Simplifying Challenge
I needed these lessons for many reasons. My Summer Simplifying Challenge is letting me explore the many facets of my personality that brought me to this place of muchness. One baby step at a time has allowed me to really get down to the reasons behind this mess.
Had I done this process over a month or 6 weeks, I would not have experienced this epiphany. I would not have had the time to explore and dig deep into the whys. The 90-Day Summer Simplifying Challenge would have been about the hows. And that might not have worked as well.
Less time might have been a quick fix. How many quick fixes have I had during the past? None stuck. If I did let go, I quickly started to gather again. This time I am addressing the emotions behind the clutter. I am looking into the causes as well as the results. It is a journey of a thousand tiny steps into the next season of my life. And I am excited about every new day.
