Day 24: Accepting Messiness



Today I decided to accept the daily messes I find myself cleaning up, sometimes with resentment and often with resistance, and decided to consciously make peace with any "messiness" that popped up in my field of awareness...to just bless it and give thanks for my ability to see it, to imagine it getting cleaned up by someone else or to clean it up only if I was feeling at peace.

Just deciding this made me feel so relaxed and light.

Even when my 8y.o. son spilled a whole bowl of Tings all over our living room floor and I just laughed...it really felt like "no biggie"....and he and his buddy cleaned them all up without my help!

And rather than try to wipe my son's face or comb his hair, I just celebrated his natural messiness and he actually decided to style his own hair with gel and wash up without any prompting!


Yes, miracles happen when we relax and go with the flow!
