being intentional

Making space for better movement and function in your home and life requires thought and a devotion to releasing things that are no longer useful in your current life. But how do you accomplish this when some of those things are still useful, or given the right circumstances, could be useful. It can be good to set some intentions around what you plan to keep and what is essential for easeful living.

Think about this: every Thing in your home requires maintenance; every. thing. Every surface and every object, including what you hang on the walls, requires some level of care and an energy investment. If you are interested in simplifying your life then simplifying what you have to maintain is a good place to start.

But how to and where to start? Ask yourself some questions. Is this object useful? And how? Does it serve more than one purpose? Is it pleasing aesthetically? How do I feel when I use this item? Does it make me feel something positive?Our environments, especially our homes and offices, approached with intention, can support the feeling states we want to achieve when we are in them if we consciously choose what we surround ourselves with.

What do you want to feel in your home? Peaceful? Calm? Loved and supported? At ease? Being selective and minimizing, choosing quality over quantity, keeping only items that please you deeply( aesthetically or as a connection with someone or something you love) combined with purpose and utility is using intention in a powerful way. It says: I choose these things to emotionally support wellbeing in my life, to reflect my personality, to make my daily life more easeful.

Think about what your goal is for your home, the feeling states you wish to experience in that space and choosing only things that really reflect and support those positive feelings. A home should be a happy, nurturing place. By setting intentions and choosing thoughtfully, you can make yours a warm love- filled environment.
