Trust the proocess

Howdy!

Hey people! Hope you have been keeping well. These streets have been very quiet. Maybe that's because there's been so many transitions and changes :) which am very thankful for.

Are there times when things are going great and then somethings from your past keep nagging you at the back of your mind? either failed relationships, mistakes from your past, past failures that sometimes can even be a hindrance to your progress? Well, I have a had a couple of those moments and being in my mid 20's they are so rampant with the uncertainty of the future in this ever changing world.

I am learning to embrace the past failures as a learning process and slowly learning that it's all about your mindset. Life is responding, so if you are like me  still trying to figure out things hold on, change your mind set it gets better from here.

Love and light,
Miss Wainaina

Wassup good people!!! :)

Hope you have been keeping well in 2016 and the new year is proving to be great! :) Mine is still living, learning, loving and growing and can't wait to see what the next few months of this amazing year holds.

Over the last holidays something really interesting got my attention. We happened to be renovating and de-cluttering the house during the holidays.(I really do hate cluttered spaces )not just because am claustrophobic but  also because am a firm believer that  a space has the ability to determine your energy. The less cluttered the better.

On the other hand ,my dearest mother whom I love sooo much ( Sorry mum) :)has a sentimental attachment to the  oldest things including my items. Hence,over the year during the weekends I'd remove some of the items in my room or her room that I felt we didn't need and either dispose or keep aside to give away :D

My dearest mother would however always sneak the items back and give an excuse like she's keeping the items for a friend or "those are nice shoes they just need to be taken to a cobbler " name it :D


Fast forward to the renovations, we had to move things around and for those who have been in the same position you know it's like moving out but in the same house and most times it can get hectic, tiring and draining and to top that we had my mothers hoarded items in a closet where she'd return almost everything I took out throughout the year :D Being extremely honest when we got to that closet  she used to hoard most of those items I agreed to take them out only if she'd to be the one sorting the items by herself because it was her idea to have them there in the first place. Needless to say it took her more than a week to do so :D

So where am I going with this? It made me wonder how many things or people have I been holding onto such that I have no space in my "closet" for anything new.I don't want it to take days,weeks leave alone years cleaning out a closet because I've been holding onto things that don't add value.

Needless to say,  my mother is now the first person to say, "take that out, I don't want to go through what I had to go through over the holidays."and this makes me sooo happy :D

Is there anything you're probably hoarding that isn't adding value? Let it go trust me. It only get's better past that relationship that didn't work out or that job that you didn't get or what so and so said about you or just anything just LET IT GO!! Are you an emotional hoarder or do you know someone hoarding things they shouldn't? Share and spread the love :)

Love and Love,
Ms Wainaina :)
