Spring Into Action: Tidying Up Your Space and Finances

Written by Marcais Bowen

Spring has sprung and it has me feeling as recharged. What about you? If you're still searching for that spark of rejuvenation, let's settle in with a warm drink while I share a tale that just might light the way to the revitalization you seek.

This last weekend marked my annual journey into what I affectionately term my "Renewal Ritual"—more commonly known as spring cleaning. Now, before you scoff at the thought of cleaning being in any way rejuvenating, hear me out. This ritual goes beyond mere scrubbing and sorting; it's a profound exercise in decluttering one's life, both physically and symbolically.

Venturing into the forgotten realms of my wardrobe, I unearthed garments that had not basked in daylight for an age or two. It dawned on me then—if these clothes have not pirouetted under the sun in 2-3 years, their time in my life had surely passed. Thus, they were dispatched, alongside a trove of beloved books that, though treasured, I acknowledged I would not revisit. Offering them up felt akin to sharing hidden gems, hopeful they would spark joy for others as they once did for me.

When the dust had finally settled, a revelation awaited—there was newfound space, not just in the physical realm but mentally as well. It appeared the ancient adage "less is more" held profound truth. My abode and spirit alike felt unburdened, basking in the tranquility, simplicity, and clarity birthed from this thorough cleanse.

Yet, the odyssey didn't conclude with the physical space.

Armed with this clarity, we ventured into the long-neglected territory of our financial planning. Spurred by our tangible decluttering, my partner and I at last addressed the need to update our will—a task long deferred. With our financial advisor's guidance, we navigated this crucial undertaking. The relief of aligning our affairs? Utterly sublime.

This odyssey underscored the indispensable value of engaging with a financial advisor. Beyond mere money management, it's about harmonising financial well-being with our aspirations. As we usher in Q2, what better occasion for a financial "spring clean"?

I invite you to ponder your own environment and financial landscape. Are there remnants of the past cluttering your path? Outdated commitments weighing you down? A bit of sprucing up can work wonders in fostering tranquillity, clarity, and preparedness for the future.
