Letting Go of Your Soul Clutter
Too often our negative self-talk gets in the way of
our making room for the magic of our lives. We talk
ourselves out of believing we can do anything we
want based on past negative experiences and
programming. Clear mental and soul clutter --
talk you do not love, use or need -- by completing
this 'adventure.'
1. Fill a canvas bag with large, smooth rocks (about
5" diameter). Don't fill the bag so full you can't carry
it, but full enough so it is unpleasant to lift.
2. Ask yourself "what are the negative and
disparaging words I hear in my head that keep me
from living the magic of my life?" Then, use a black
marker pen to write these words on each of the rocks
in your bag.
3. The bag is now your constant partner. It goes
everywhere you go. It sits by your bed at night. It
goes in the car with you. You must take it when you
walk and exercise, to your appointments, to work, to
school.
4. Every day, at a predetermined time, take your
bag of NEGATIVE SOUL CLUTTER to running water --
a river or stream -- and toss 1 rock in the water.
Toss away that disparaging and negative word.
Continue every day until all the rocks are gone.
When you let go of the clutter -- history and old
stuff -- you make room for amazing and wonderful
things in your life. (Adapted from an email from
