Welcome to another segment of Whispers to My Future Self, where we invite you on a journey towards understanding and prioritizing your happiness. Many of us have a love-hate relationship with spring cleaning. It’s a daunting task but the rewards, both physical and mental, are significant. Let's delve into what spring cleaning can entail beyond the apparent decluttering and cleaning aspects.

Often spring cleaning starts simply, but it can bring up deeper questions and emotions. A simple process like removing unused items, parting ways with older things, can lead to self-doubt and evaluation, especially if those things have sentimental value or represent a version of ourselves we were once fond of. We get into the conundrum - keep it or get rid of it?

We should see spring cleaning as an opportunity for self-discovery and growth rather than a chore. Be free from excess possessions that don't serve you or align with your values and needs. At the end of the day, experiences matter more than possessions. So let's get started with our spring cleaning and embrace change.

Welcome to another episode of Whispers to My Future Self. In this episode, I dive into the importance of setting intentions as a way to guide our life towards the goals we want to achieve and the happiness we aspire. Reflecting on the 'why' behind our goals and aspirations, we realize that the underlying purpose often leads to the pursuit of happiness and contentment.

While growing up, most of us are accustomed to the concept of setting goals, but seldom do we speak of setting intentions. Intentions can serve as the guiding compass to help us navigate our lives with clarity and purpose. They live with us each day and constitute a conscious decision about how we wish to live our lives and the qualities we wish to embody.

Imagine waking up each day with a clear vision of how we want our day to be, of living not for the past or the future, but for the 'right here and right now'. Setting intentions paves way for us to live in the present moment every day and lends a fresh perspective to overcome everyday challenges.

Unlike goals, setting life intentions do not require comprehensive planning but a strong resolve supported by faith and focus. Neither is setting intentions about rapid changes nor sudden turnarounds. It's about integrating these into our everyday routine for better peace of mind and clarity of purpose.

As we step into each new day, we set our segment intentions – determining how we want our day to look and how we want our life to feel. So, take a few moments out of your busy schedule each day to clear your mind and set your daily intentions.

Let this not be a chore, but a step toward aligning your life with your aspirations and encouraging personal growth. Set your intentions daily and see how they guide you towards creating a life you desire. After all, every day is a second chance!
