It’s time to look at spring cleaning from a different angle.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Put away the gloves and Windex for a minute and take a step back. Are there areas in your own life that need some freshening up? While organizing the shelves packed with boxes in the garage can be therapeutic (and I\u2019m not saying you shouldn\u2019t still do that) cleansing internally can bring a brighter outlook on life.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Recently, I\u2019ve decided to do a deeper cleaning in different areas of my life.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I\u2019ve committed to small changes that will make a big difference to me: Turning off my phone for an hour and enjoying the outdoors; replacing a kneejerk reaction-negative judgment with a positive one; and going for a run instead of sinking into the couch after a long day.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I\u2019ve noticed that my life cleanup sometimes involves going \u201cshopping\u201d for better habits and choices too.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This year, I\u2019m freshening up by committing to give more compliments, tell people I love them, and offer to help out when I normally wouldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n If there is one thing I\u2019ve gained from doing this, it\u2019s having a fresher perspective on what is important to me. I see everything in a brighter, more positive light. With the dust and cobwebs cleared, I wake up every morning more motivated and ready to see what the new day will bring.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Gazing out my window, I see the rosebuds starting to blossom in my front yard, the dark clouds slowly disappearing. I think about my new budding habits, just as the old ones fade away.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n What areas in your life do you feel might need a little sprucing up?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s time to look at spring cleaning from a different angle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":1316,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,130,71],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2481","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-all","category-lifes-beautiful-journey","category-seasons"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bellagracemagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2481","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bellagracemagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bellagracemagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bellagracemagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bellagracemagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2481"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/bellagracemagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2481\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bellagracemagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1316"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bellagracemagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2481"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bellagracemagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2481"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bellagracemagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2481"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Make Your Life Cleanup List:<\/h2>\n
