005 Growth

14m · Declutter for CHANGE · 24 Apr 13:00

Big or small, we are constantly growing with change. Growth defined by Google; the process of developing or maturing physically, mentally, or spiritually. "Keeping a journal can be a vital step in our personal growth" (I would like to add that growth is also emotionally developing or maturing). When you have the same thought, but can react differently than before, that's growth. When you have the same situation arise, but can emotionally react differently, that's growth. When you start to detach from your physical items and realize that they are only physical representations of the memories and emotions of that person/ event/ situation, that's growth. Life is about growing into the beings that we are here to become. Decluttering everything else that isn't aligned to that, is growth. This is number five of six episodes to the acronym C.H.A.N.G.E.  (the foundation for this podcast and the business name).
