My Need to Create Space for Something New

In March last year, I spent the month intentionally clearing out my space - decluttering physical space, deleting things from my digital world, noticing my mental habits and stories. My plan was to just focus that one month and clear out as much as possible.


What I found is at 54, I have a lot of "stuff!" It's taken me this long to accumulate things, ideas, perspectives, etc, so it's going to take more than a month to clear it out!


A big portion of my time and energy these days is going towards creating space. I just feel the urge to be more at peace, less busy, choosing ease and peace in my life.


By releasing what's not serving you, or what you no longer need, you create space for something new!


And I'm choosing to ease into 2026, continuing to create space everywhere I can (decluttering, saying no to things I'm not sure I'm ready to commit to, checking in with my mindset around all the things). While I always have plenty of goals - this year is no exception! - my focus now is being more gentle with myself, allowing for things to flow a little more vs forcing (and it's a process!! 😅).


What can you let go of or release to create space for something new? Is there something in your life that is weighing you down?


  • Decluttering physical “stuff”

  • Release that breath you’re holding

  • Unfollow negative social media accounts

  • Reduce processed food/sugar

  • Notice & revise the “story” you tell yourself

  • Finish up lingering projects

  • Say no to things that don't light you up

  • Take a break from alcohol

  • Let go of a limiting mindset

  • Reduce digital clutter (emails/photos)

  • Drop expectations around a challenging situation


⭐ I am basically working on all of these! LOL Stay tuned for more on specific things I'm doing to create space in my life.
