I believe that everything is energy and everything holds a frequency. I have always been someone that has never had a lot of personal belongings. Although, when I move, and I have moved many times in my life, I feel differently about the amount of belongings I have. What I am talking about is, I have never been the person to have 5 cans of hair spray or 7 blushes or a bunch of spices in a giant cupboard that I never use. Over the past couple of years, I have got even better are reducing items around me and refining what it is that I have in my space. Knowing that I personally don’t need a lot. That actually having less items but items that I truly love brings me so much joy. There are sometimes trial phases, when trying new products or recipes, where I may have a few more items than I usually have. I have found that if I like something I tend to stick with it which in end also makes my life more simplified. If I find things are not really working for my then I will switch things up, creating a bit of a trial and error process. I do tend to either use up a product before buying another or giving an item away or lastly tossing the item.
The other day my sister was talking about how she doesn’t want to use up her favourite bar of soap. She has an abundance of soap bars in her closet that she never uses. I am going to say 10 or more bars. This made me think of how I approach using up things and endings.
I and the type of person that tends to enjoy and savouring the moment. So if I were to have good candle I won’t be afraid to burn or a yummy body wash I won’t be afraid to use. I have learned to enjoy and savour the all moments. Enjoy the richness and when it is over, repurchase the item if I feel called to or try something new, a different scent etc. It made me realize that not everyone approaches life living each moment to the fullest. Even I am guilty of this from time to time. This has made me think bigger picture. I have a belief that the way you do one thing is the way you do everything.
I ask you to look at what is your relationship with endings? How do you feel at the ending of a book, ending of a movie, ending of a relationship, finishing your favourite candle, finishing a shampoo bottle. These are all endings. Some of you may think some things are heavier emotionally than others. But if you zoom out and look at it from a different perspective you will see, they are all the same.
Simply said it was just complete.
