Clearing is a way of returning to what is true. It invites you to pause, look around, and notice what has quietly accumulated in your life. Over time, the things you keep, the things you postpone, and the things you avoid can begin to shape your days without your awareness. Clearing offers a gentle way back to yourself. It is not about striving or perfection. It is a practice of making space for what matters.
Physical clearing is often the easiest doorway. When you tend to a drawer, a corner, or a surface, you create a small shift you can see and feel. These simple actions build trust. They remind you that change can begin with something tangible and small. As you clear, you may notice thoughts, emotions, or memories rising to the surface. This is natural. Physical clearing often reveals what has been waiting for your attention.
This 28-day journey is an invitation to move slowly and intentionally. Each day offers a brief reflection, a prompt, and an action that fits easily into your day. The goal is not to overhaul your life. The goal is to create space. Space for clarity. Space for energy. Space for what is true now.
Throughout this journey, you will return to a simple framework: Keep what still serves you, Release what no longer supports who you are, and Carry Forward what represents who you are becoming. These movements are the essence of the practice.
Clearing is an act of self-care. It is a way of tending to your environment, your energy, and your inner landscape. Over the next 28 days, you will create pockets of space that add up to something meaningful. You will practice noticing what feels true, choosing what stays, and releasing what no longer fits. In that process, you may discover that clearing is not only about your home or your calendar. It is about how you meet yourself.
May this practice offer clarity, ease, and space for what is true now.
