When you’re able to bring yourself into the present without carrying the past or feeling concerned about the future, you have the opportunity to become a clean slate for yourself and for others. Learning to drop judgements about yourself and to not form them for others or releasing them if you have, can create a lot of freedom in your life.
I’ve been in a long process that I consider to be a deep clean, a time of letting anything go that once defined who I thought I was. This includes letting go of notions I had about others too and practicing seeing myself and others as clean slates. If you’re willing to try this, so that you can be fresh for the moment you’re in, I think you’ll find the benefit. It provides the platform for forgiveness and making choices with a loving heart.
Imagine what your life would look like if you were willing to let people be new in each moment instead of holding them to the patterns or displays of their past. How would you feel and behave if that were offered to you in each moment? Being a clean slate creates the space needed for any kind of real change.
