The Spring Cleanse is the period between March 1st and the Spring Equinox, maybe flipped for the Southern Hemisphere? I don’t know, I don’t live there and haven’t felt that energy. I wrote about the spring cleanse and you can read about it here.
This year, 2023, there has been a lot of interest in my Spring Cleanse and I made my schedule for those who wish to follow along. If you want to be strict about it, I encourage you to read the list in advance and not wake up each morning and see what the task is. A few days are much heavier of a work load, because I put them on days I know I could handle that. Adjust as you need, this is only MY guide for my living situation and season in life.
The key points to hit are removing everything from the walls of your home, doing a full visual reset… and then the big day of the wall wash and home cleanse (Days 1 and 19) As much in between those as can be hit the better, but keep your season of life in mind as well as your ability, goals and desires.
