During the spring our thoughts turn to embracing the birth of new life and new ideas and cleaning out our closets and sweeping off our driveways. It is also a good idea to reflect on the quality of the relationships we have. From our family, friends to who we follow on social media. Cleaning out, or letting go of relations that don't serve us can help bring us closer to peace of mind.
