We are always creating space in our lives to help make us feel secure. Often times when we are trying to feel peace or manifest something in our lives we forget to make space for it. We fill it with stress or relationship that are not serving us, leaving no room for peace. We must make a conscious effort to make sure we are vessels with the space for peace and prosperity.

During the spring our thoughts turn to embracing the birth of new life and new ideas and cleaning out our closets and sweeping off our driveways. It is also a good idea to reflect on the quality of the relationships we have. From our family, friends to who we follow on social media. Cleaning out, or letting go of relations that don't serve us can help bring us closer to peace of mind.

Part of being human is that we don't always feel or act our best. We feel guilty if we have a no bones day. But we are not perfect super humans and sometimes need to just give ourselves permission to not be Ok. As long as we are responsible with our energy when we are out in the world. It also reminds us to give a little bit of grace for those we come in contact with, when the too aren't at their best.
