Just think for a moment about all <em>the stuff that is<\/em> <em>holding you back<\/em>, about all <em>the<\/em> <em>thoughts that make you unhappy,<\/em> about <em>all the judging<\/em> you do, about <em>all the things your ego is telling you<\/em>. Get rid of all the junk in your head as you get rid of all the old stuff gathering dust in your attic, stuff you never use, stuff that fills up space and stands in the way of letting good, useful stuff in. In lots of my previous articles, you will read about how your mind works, about how the ego, aka the Protective Self, is holding you back in life. I write about it so often because <span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>it\u2019s essential that you understand how the mind works as it is the only way to learn how to make yourself happy, it\u2019s the only way to be the creator of your life, the victor instead of the victim. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>I believe it is high time to start decluttering your mind so that you can <span style=\"color: #339966;\">start having the life YOU want.<\/span> The same way, we decluttered our house*, we now are going to take a closer look at all there is stored in our mind so that we can decide what to keep and what to chuck. Our subconscious mind ** is the storage facility of all we\u2019ve been through, of all we\u2019ve learned, of all we\u2019ve seen in life. And we pay a high rent for it! Too high! Let\u2019s see what is in our \u2018storage facility\u2019, our subconscious mind, so that we can make space, so that we can have less useless clutter and \u2018pay\u2019 less:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>Limiting beliefs.<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>We dream of getting this particular job, we would really like to learn how to play the guitar, we go to an art museum and wish we could paint, \u2026. we wish, we dream, \u2026 but we are convinced it\u2019s out of our league. That job? \u2018Who do you think you are?\u2019, says the ego. \u2018Playing the guitar? you\u2019re not a musician\u2019 that little voice is whispering. \u2018You want to start painting? you have no talent\u2019\u2026 we all hear that little nagging, very annoying, and sometimes very loud voice in our head. <span style=\"color: #339966;\"><em>Why is it there<\/em>?<\/span> It\u2019s there to \u2018protect\u2019 us, to keep us in our comfort zone, to prevent us from taking risks. <span style=\"color: #339966;\"><em>How did it get there<\/em>?<\/span> Maybe a teacher once said you would never be successful, maybe a parent did not appreciate your first outings of musical talent, maybe a friend, family member, sibling, \u2026. Somebody once told you, he or she thought you were no good at something and it stuck in your mind. It is still stuck in your subconscious mind, maybe you can\u2019t even remember who held you back, but it keeps you from trying new things, from going for your dream job, from going after your dream. Those limiting beliefs, those thoughts, definitely go on the Trash pile*.<\/p>\n<p>Now that you know, you don\u2019t have to listen to that little but oh so loud and never stopping voice in your head, you are free! When you want to try something, you just tell that voice: \u2018Thank you for having protected me my whole life, but I don\u2019t need you saying this anymore.\u2019 Learn whatever it is you want to start learning, enroll in whatever class you want to give a try. It\u2019s important not to be angry at that voice otherwise you\u2019ll be on a low vibrational frequency and you\u2019ll attract*** more negative stuff. To try out new stuff, to be a creator, you need to be on a high vibrational frequency. <span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>Clear out the limiting beliefs <\/strong><\/span>and <span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>enjoy the space you are creating in your mind<\/strong><\/span>, space that you can fill with new experiences, with the belief that you are the creator of your life! <span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>Enjoy that feeling of freedom, of lightness, of possibilities!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>Opinions of other people.<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>We hear opinions everywhere, at home, in school, at work, from friends, from family, \u2026 and when you are a kid, you just accept what you hear as being true. Now that you are an adult, you get to choose your own opinions. Therefor you have to <strong><span style=\"color: #339966;\">become quiet and listen to what your heart is telling you<\/span>.<\/strong> Do you agree with what you\u2019ve always believed to be true? Maybe yes, and that is okay, then you just keep that opinion as being yours. But a lot of the opinions will feel \u2018off\u2019 to you, your heart does not agree and that are the opinions you have to let go of, they\u2019re not yours so, out they go. Again, <span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>you are creating space for what YOU believe in, for what your heart feels is right.<\/strong><\/span> Those beliefs will make you happy, and feeling happy, makes you feel energetic! The more energy you feel, the more you will create your own life, your own happiness.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>Get rid of the 5 lies of your ego****.<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Your ego has you trapped in a very narrow-minded life, it keeps you in a cage and as long as you do not let go of those lies, you won\u2019t be free. Once you let them out of your subconscious mind, you are free to live YOUR life, according to YOUR dreams. The 5 lies are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>I am what I have<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>I am what I do<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>I am what others think of me<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>I am who I know<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>I am all alone<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><em>I am what I have<\/em>:<\/span><\/strong> Once you start decluttering and you <span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>realize <\/strong><\/span>stuff does not make you happy,<span style=\"color: #339966;\"> <strong>stuff does NOT define you<\/strong><\/span>, you\u2019ll be free of the lie \u2018I am what I have\u2019. That is so liberating!!! <span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>You are finally free<\/strong><\/span>. Stuff does not own you anymore.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><em>I am what I do<\/em>:<\/span><\/strong> The same goes for what you do in life. Your profession is so often chosen by what society considers to be \u2018a good job\u2019. But are you happy in your job? Is it what you\u2019ve always dreamt of doing in life? Or is your motivation money driven, title sensitive? Do what you love! Do what your heart says will make you happy. <span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>You are not your job-title, you are who your heart says you are.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><em>I am what other people think of me<\/em><\/span><\/strong>: The 3<sup>rd<\/sup> lie is about you letting your life be dictated by what other people think, by what their opinions are, by what society dictates them to think about you. <span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>What other people think of you, is none of your business, it\u2019s theirs!<\/strong><\/span> Maybe it\u2019s their opinion or it\u2019s their ego that is telling them what to think of you but anyway, <strong><span style=\"color: #339966;\">it has nothing to do with you<\/span>.<\/strong> You can never be what everybody would like you to be, as we all like different things<strong>. <span style=\"color: #339966;\">Be yourself<\/span><\/strong>, who likes you, likes you, who doesn\u2019t\u2019, doesn\u2019t. Your life will become a lot easier, happier, simpler when you finally start being yourself, <strong><span style=\"color: #339966;\">you\u2019ll attract like-minded people and you won\u2019t have to pretend anymore<\/span>.<\/strong> Once you\u2019ve cleared out that lie, there is room to be you, room to be happy!<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><em>I am who I know<\/em><\/span><\/strong>: As long as you keep frequenting people because of what they do, what they have, who they know, \u2026 you\u2019ll be living a lie. You clutter your mind with thinking you belong, with figuring out ways how to fit in. <span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>As long as you do not frequent people because you feel connected to them with your heart, but because of who they are, you\u2019ll feel empty<\/strong>.<\/span> Get rid of that lie too and feel the pressure falling away, you do not have to pretend anymore, you do not have to live their lives anymore. You are finally free, there is finally room to be you.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><em>I am all alone<\/em>:<\/span><\/strong> As long as you see yourself as a separate being, as an individual who is not connected to anyone, you will feel alone. Let go of that thought too. <span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>We are all one, we are all connected, we are all created from the same Source, called Love<\/strong>,<\/span> so we can never be alone. This planet is our home. The more we realize we all live here together and the more we take care of each other and of our planet, the more we\u2019ll feel connected, happy, belonging to this same planet Mother Earth.<\/p>\n<p>Declutter you mind, let go of all that does not serve you anymore, make space for what your heart is telling you. Free yourself of what others think, do, say. That is all about them and has nothing to do with you. Be the creator of your life. <strong><span style=\"color: #339966;\">Train your mind, train your mental muscles** to think positive thoughts, train your mind to believe in the goodness of all, and you\u2019ll see your life changing.<\/span> <\/strong>What you think, determines how you feel. Be willing to feel good, and you will feel good. It\u2019s all in your mind and you are the master of it.<\/p>\n<p>Good luck in decluttering your mind, and make sure you only let positive, helpful thoughts take up space in your \u2018attic\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you all for reading me and for supporting me on Medium!
