The Benefits of Pruning Your Life

A few days ago I completed the winter pruning of my roses. It’s really important to prune plants because it clears deadwood, helps to reduce disease, encourages air circulation and lets more light in. Therefore, it allows the plant to focus its attention and energy on producing beautiful green shoots, blooms and fruit for the next season. And, winter is the ideal time to give roses a good strong prune.

Time For Some Life Pruning?

Just like plants, our life needs a good pruning from time to time. We need put aside some time to take stock of our life, and to evaluate where we are going. We need to ask questions, such as:

  • Where am I now?
  • Where do I want to be?
  • What is most important to me?
  • Am I honouring what is most important to me?
  • Are my current habits supporting what is most important to me?

Start Pruning

Based on the answers to the above questions, it’s time to start pruning your life. Especially if you are tired, stuck or at a cross-road in your life and have an important decision, goal or other outcome you want to achieve.
It’s time to eliminate things that drag you down, drain our energy and cause you to shrink. It’s time to prune the areas of your life which are not supporting the direction you want to grow in.

The Benefits

Pruning your life will help bring you into alignment with what’s most important. It will help to freshen up your focus and energy. And, it will help to create more space for your life to grow, bloom and flourish.

Take a few minutes now. What part of your life could do with some pruning?

What Reality Are You Creating With Your Current Focus?

Did you realise that you are creating your reality 100% of the time?

Yes you create it, both wanted and unwanted, through your thoughts, feelings and actions. Powerful aren’t you!

However, until you learn to create consciously, you are creating unconsciously.  The more conscious and active you become, the greater your capacity to achieve and live the life you desire.
