Spring Cleaning for the Soul: Begin Again

poetry with flowers for healing spring cleaning for the soul
Reading Time: 3 minutes
Well, we’ve made it to the end of our Spring Cleaning! This is what the whole journey has been about. Every step, every goodbye, every tear, and every ending had to take place for you to create a world more fitting for this season of your life.

Beginning again is the most freeing choice one can make.

Truly starting over requires us to venture into ambiguous and unfamiliar territory in the most vulnerable of ways. Each time I choose to begin again, the first step into a new chapter of my life feels like a free fall. A sensation as liberating as it is paralyzing forces us to trust there is no more preparation to be done. There is nothing left to feel through, no old wounds to dress or loose ends to neatly tie up and tuck away. It’s time for us to trust that every single thing in this mystical, whirlwind of a life is always working out for us simply because we are worthy of it. It’s time to trust all of the preparation, lessons, endings and healing and begin again.

Ahead, a few wonderful poetry collections to help ease you into this beautiful, new beginning!
