House Cleaning

When I was a child my parents used to paint the house before the end of the year. Already in December, all the walls of the house changed color. It was like being in a new house. I also remember that all the old clothes and shoes my mother would throw them away or if they were still in good condition she would give them away to people with more needs than we had at home. We had new clothes and shoes for the 24th and 25th of December, as well as for the 31st and first of January.

The house where I live now I could not paint this year because I could not raise the money for the paints. I was only able to do some house cleaning. I am still working on that. The first thing I am going to do these days is to throw away objects that have been in drawers or closets for a long time. In the drawers I have old things stored for years that I am not using, some of them are even broken. Old magazines and a lot of clothes that I haven't used for a long time, even some spoiled shoes that I left at the end of the closet in a basket. Sometimes I ask myself when I see these items in storage, why would I keep them?

General cleaning of the house was necessary. In the kitchen drawers, in the drawers, and in the bedroom closet, when I do the cleaning I put music, listening to music encourages me to sort, organize and throw away what is no longer useful and what I don't want to keep. Everything goes to the trash, I don't think I have anything to donate, they are too used, broken, or old. I do the cleaning in several days, at my own pace, there is no rush.

I should do this more often because it feels good to get rid of things that have served their useful life.  They are material things that just fill the space in the drawers. In this same way, we should order our mind and our heart. Get rid of situations in our life that do not allow us to move forward.

Let us also clean our mental house, get rid of all resentment, hatred, anger, get rid of all those memories, resentments, unhappiness that have been inside our minds for months, years.  When one releases all those emotions one also changes. Just like in a clean house, when we clean our soul of resentment we also breathe pure air, full of harmony and peace.
 
You could also practice detachment from material things so that you can breathe airs of peace.

Have you already done the cleaning of your mental drawers?

I know what you mean! Sometimes it happens that you just don't have the energy or ability to devote time to general cleaning. I, too, have faced such a situation, especially now that I have health problems. That's why for me, cleaning services are a real salvation. Recently I discovered the best house cleaning service NYC https://cleaninglaboratory.com/best-house-cleaning-service-in-NYC They are just great! Cleanliness and order after their visit is just incredibly nice, especially when it's hard to do it yourself.

I'm always too lazy to start general cleaning, but when I finally get down to it, it really lightens the mood. Cleanliness in the house creates a feeling of comfort and coziness, so I feel much better after cleaning.

Hello Sister. Here we are still painting the outside of the house. And fixing up the office. We already put in the air conditioner. We'll take pictures later. I hope you are collecting for your phone. Or not yet?

This reminds me of some Asian cultures where in every new year they would throw away stuff or give them away. It is their belief to let go of the past and welcome the new year with new things.

After cleansing we feel a new aroma, which makes us feel that we are in harmony. It also happens with our soul after removing all resentment and resentment, we feel a lot of inner peace .
