Time to gather used items, clothing, home decor, technology, art and furniture to donate to charities or swap with friends and family.

Decluttering, purging and donating creates room for new items or space to enjoy a simpler lifestyle for the new year. Sometimes having less on purpose can bring a sense of abundance simply by having room in your life available. It makes cleaning a whole lot quicker too. Think about what you can live without and remove it from your life. You may find some inner peace in the process.

Sharing natural skills and talents makes humans feel alive with a purpose. This weekend, share what comes natural to you, a recipe, a favor, a book, a kind gesture or something that could use a quick fix. Everyone has a skill or talent so dig deep and get to sharing!

Choose a moment this weekend to share a personal story with someone about a kind gesture another person bestowed upon you.

This can be brought up in a casual conversation starting like, “Did I ever tell you the time when ______ did _______ for me and it how grateful I’m whenever I think of that time?” Chances are the person you share your story with will be reminded of one of their’s to share.

The purpose of this exercise is to recall a moment of unexpected abundance that you experienced to keep your mind in an open state of receiving. This mindset attracts even more greatness into you already beautiful life. If you’re struggling with receiving, repeat “I am worthy, I am worthy, I am worthy,” throughout the weekend. Eventually you’ll believe it so stick with it especially because it’s challenging. Happy abundant, grateful, weekend of receiving!

Make some time to go for a crisp fall walk or hike in nature! Take deep breaths of fresh air, hold it…then exhale completely. Go alone to practice pivoting negative thoughts when they try to hijack your peaceful moment or drag a friend, partner or pet along for the adventure.

When you get home, make your favorite drink and write down some of the thoughts you had or conversations with others. Sometimes great ideas or solutions to annoying issues are resolved when we step away.

Enjoy the fall, it will be freezing soon…unless you’re in San Diego where it’s always perfect. Whatever.
