You’ve probably heard of the phrase, ‘the calm before the storm,’ but there’s a calm after the storm, too. There’s a lull in energy—a drop from the frenzy of the storm—followed by the slow, methodical sifting through the wreckage it caused. Going through the pieces that were broken and altered by the storm takes time. Deciding what to keep and what needs to be thrown away is an exercise in discernment.

Once you’ve taken an inventory of what’s worth saving, you have the materials needed to rebuild. Understand that our lives are a series of storms; realize also that storms sometimes clear by force some things we should have released a long time ago.

Let go of the things that no longer serve you to make room for what does.
