Spring cleaning, Passover cleaning
Everyone is cleaning the house, putting away the wool and flannel, moving closets and reaching remote corners.
This is an opportunity to clear clutter, an opportunity to clear out unnecessary things.
The attitude of "less is more, collect moments not stuff" is becoming more and more widespread.
People are starting to realize that more possessions won't make them happier and vice versa.
I'm always amazed at how much air gets into my lungs after giving away 2 bags of 'not exactly clothes' and games I no longer play with....
In cleansing, toxins must be cleansed and unnecessary things must be cleansed.
What I don't need right now is burdensome and therefore also becomes a kind of poison.
If it doesn't serve me, on a certain level I serve it.
If the object does not give me energy and life, it actually takes life from me (Rabbi Nachman).
At home-
The unnecessary takes a lot of energy from us. Unnecessary clothes, 3 hair dryers that only half work, irrelevant souvenirs,
Old books...
De-cluttering is the concept of clearing away clutter.
De-cluttering is the concept of clearing away clutter.
So now is the time, it's a kind of time of such a desire for spring cleaning and renewal.
When you go through the items and put them in the closets, you can ask whether they serve me or are unnecessary.
And if it's unnecessary, it's an opportunity to pass it on and share with others who it would truly serve.
An opportunity to make room for new things to arrive (not always in the form of new objects. Sometimes these are insights. Sometimes experiences)
How much air does this put into the lungs?

She has written best-selling books on this subject. She recommends reading and applying what and how much is appropriate. Each according to her situation and character...
Another issue that concerns me and I want to share with you is cleaning materials.
You can also clean the unnecessary there. At the supermarket, we are made to feel like we need a different cleaning product for every piece of furniture and corner of the house.
They're all fragrant, sparkly, and on sale, but listen to this carefully - I read that the biggest air pollution is actually in our own homes!
The cleaning products, plastics (and other substances that are legally sprayed on blankets, pillows, carpets, etc.) are released into the air and create chemical pollution in our homes. It's a small change, but it's healthy for all of us if we manage to clean happily and healthily this spring.
There's no need for 10 different types of cleaning products that are harmful to us. It's unnecessary.
You can reduce the use of harmful substances and instead buy a bottle of 'Ecover' ecological dish soap and clean almost everything with it (windows, floors, cabinets, etc.)
For those who are interested - vinegar and baking soda replace many cleaning agents.
You can add a few drops of lavender or lemon essential oil to disinfect, and then you'll have a fragrant and healthy celebration at home.
Last point-
If cleanliness also means cleaning up the unnecessary,
So I want you to do whatever you are not allowed to do right now.
So I want you to do whatever you are not allowed to do right now.
Preparations for Passover are very intense. At any given moment, one has to recalculate what is right to do right now and what is unnecessary.
If we take all our strength and don't want to go into a 'minus' (which causes stress),
So you can't do everything.
This means that you need to do what is most important in order of priority and give up what is currently impossible to do.

Wishing us all a spring of renewal, a true cleansing from the unnecessary and from what doesn't make us feel good.A woman whose royal side is evident preserves her strength and will arrive at Passover with joy and positive energy.
