Right now we are preparing our house for sale. The process of getting a house ready for sale can be quite overwhelming especially when you have a lot of unfinished house projects that need to be finished before the house goes on the market. To make stress levels go up, we have a 3 month time frame that we need to get our house on the market to get the most benefit in this market, not to mention the everyday running the kids around, cooking, grocery shopping, etc.
I realized, when I don’t stay in the present moment I get quite overwhelmed easily with the long list of things that need to be done in the short amount of time that we have. I realize when I break it down day by day and project by project I stay focused and calmer.
“This is being present in the moment.”
I stay in the present by organizing my thoughts and my to do list. I make a lot of mental notes because I’m constantly moving around. It’s hard sometimes to slow down to write things down. Although, some people must do this to help keep themselves organized and on track.
I’ve organized knowing what my responsibilities are vs my husband. This helps know that he has certain things covered and this helps him know other things are covered by me. We work as a team and constantly check in with each other. That’s very comforting because then we both know where we are at in any given moment so we aren’t questioning what’s going on with the other persons projects.
“Communication is key.”
I also make sure I get my needs met during this process by continuing to meditate every morning and getting movement of some kind to help ground myself and to get that excess stress energy off. Yoga, gentle workout, or some type of movement helps me. This is key for me as it is for most that practice some type of workout routine. I noticed that the combination of meditation and movement helps keep my stress down and keeps me focused.
So during my day when I find myself thinking about the near future (that has not happened yet) or reminiscing about the past (that already happened) I bring myself back to the present moment of what I’m doing now. When I’m in the present moment I notice I enjoy the painting more, the cleaning and decluttering more. It sounds crazy but it’s amazingly true. I’m actually enjoying this process more than I imagined.
Also before we got started I decided to put love into the house as I fix it up. When we first talked about selling the house we didn’t want to go through the same ordeal that we did when we bought it. It was a mess and a lot of uncaring things were done in the process by the sellers and real estate agents. We did not want to relive that. I know from my background in energy work that we put into things what we want to get back. So we decided to put love into the house and I know it will pay huge dissidents later. We will find a family that not only loves the house but also feels the love in the house and they will feel good with the deal. I know in my heart that in the end this will be the best sale that benefits both parties, Not just one.
Anyways I hope this helps my readers. This is a personal thing that I’m going through but I know when we share our own personal experiences with others that it reaches who it needs to and helps them as well.
So be strong, keep practicing, take life one day at a time and you will be surprised at how far you come within 3 months, 6 months, 1 year.
