Tame The Stress – Calm The Clutter

/in , , , , , , , , /by


There are many reasons why we get stressed out and we all handle our stress differently.

But one thing’s for sure, we all fall prey to the effects of living with stress.

Stress can affect us both physically and mentally, from common complaints like tummy ache and headaches, to putting a strain on your relationships with others.

But stress can also cause us to manifest outwardly with clutter.

For example:

My experience as a Clutter Coach has shown me that stress can cause people to feel lethargic and therefore hinders their productivity.

The level of stress and energy level can then influence how much a person is able to get things done.

The problem is, if the underlying reason for the stress is not understood and managed, it can cause a cycle that only perpetuates the manifestation.of clutter.

If you’re feeling stressed or are interested in learning more about stress and clutter, I’d like to invite you to my upcoming class:

Mindfulness Program All In One

 

Have you ever tried to get something done that’s very important but your heart just isn’t into it?

It feels strange because it’s contradictory to what you’re saying you want to do, right? Part of you knows it would be such a relief and it makes so much sense, yet you just can’t seem to find the motivation to get it done.

Do you ever wonder why that is?

Well, here’s the thing. Your mind has a lot to do with how your heart is feeling.

You see, if you don’t have clear direction, a path with steps to follow, through to completion, your heart is simply not going to be into it.

I know it sounds funny, but it’s true.

If your mind doesn’t have clarity you will find yourself procrastinating. As Brendon Burchard would say, “Your heart is going to ask you to pause.”

In my program, Mindful Tools For Organized Living, I address this issue thoroughly because I know that most people who have clutter have problems with procrastination. I also know that frustration, stress and overwhelm is a result of not having clarity.

If you’re an on-line learner, Mindful Tools For Organized Living is a video tutorial that walks you through, step-by-step, the process of decluttering your life and Mindful Tool #5 specifically deals with how to overcome procrastination.

If you prefer one-on-one support, The Mindfulness Coaching program is your best choice for rapid results. If you’re interested in learning more about this, simply schedule a call with me HERE!

Either one is guaranteed to help you get out of your rut and on to being productive.

I hope this clears up the mystery a bit about “matters of the heart” and look forward to helping in any way I can.

There Is A Way To Rest Easy

Have you ever had a nagging feeling about something that won’t go away – and when you try to dismiss it, it just seems to get worse?

Clutter is like that. The more you try and pretend it doesn’t exist, the more it grows and grows.

It may appear at first a lot to handle to confront “things” but I can honestly tell you, the only way to resolve those nagging feelings is to do just that.

I show my clients exactly how to do it in a non-threatening way that helps them overcome their fear and overwhelm.

I’m going to be talking about how to do that and so much more in a FREE conference call on Monday. You can register for the call if you’re interested.

Jen’s Story Just Might Help You

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

 

I’d like to introduce you to Jennifer. 

Jen is a middle aged woman, married with children, and lives in the suburbs of the USA.

From outward appearances, Jen appears to have quite a life; a nice home, stylish wardrobe and a new car.

But what most people don’t know is that Jen has a secret. A secret that she’s been keeping from her family and friends.

You see, Jen has a wee bit of a problem.  A problem that has, over time, gotten bigger.  And now, this problem is difficult to keep under wraps, so Jen is feeling anxious and not sleeping well. 

That’s when she called me and asked if I could help her. 

But the story doesn’t end there. 

Actually, the story has a very happy ending.  I’d like to share that story with you because I think it just might help shed a little light on “things.”

I’m hosting a FREE call that I’d like to invite you to.  I’ll be discussing stories like Jen’s and others.

Is Clutter Really In The Eyes Of The Beholder?

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

As a clutter coach who specializes in hoarding, I take heed for good reason when I hear the statement, “clutter is in the eyes of the beholder.”

The above statement references that for some there’s a level of comfort they find with their messiness and what one may consider messy another may not.

Now, if we are talking about households that periodically get out of order, or people who are not so organized but their disorder doesn’t interfere with the quality of their life, then yes, the statement carries weight.  Different people are comfortable with different degrees of  clutter.

How one chooses to live their life is their business, one may say, and although I would tend to agree, I would also have to argue that this is true up until a point as it pertains to clutter.  I say this because excessive clutter does interfere with the quality of one’s life and loved ones.

Clutter can be dangerous and a hazard for tripping and falling.  Mold and toxins grow beneath and on the clutter and are released into the air that cause breathing and health problems. And clutter can prevent a person from utilizing their home in the way it is supposed to be intended, i.e., cooking in the kitchen, sleeping in the bed, bathing in the bathroom.

Now there’s a reason why people have extreme clutter and that goes into whether or not they are hoarding their stuff or there are other reasons behind it.  But studies do show that hoarding affects up to 6 percent of the population or 19 million Americans.

To see if any red flags are raised for you, ask yourself questions like these:

  • Do you buy many of the same things over time, because you can’t find what you already have?
  • Does your stuff prevent you from having people over?
  • Are you late paying bills because you can’t find your bills?
  • Does someone complain about your stuff? Does it cause family fights?
  • Are you able to utilize your rooms they way they are designed to be used for cooking, sleeping, bathing?
  • Are there narrow “goat trails” in your house to walk through between tall mounds of stuff?
  • Are you experiencing financial hardship due to excessive shopping?
  • Has your hobby of collecting turned into an obsession of acquiring?

People often tell me that after they de-clutter (which can include their space, desk, office, home, etc.) it comes back. What I tell them is that “it” isn’t the problem – your habits are. So if your clutter is returning you need to figure out what you’re doing that’s causing the clutter to begin with.

If you’re questioning whether or not your “clutter is in the eyes of the beholder” or something more, I would like to invite you to a conference call on Monday, July 22, 2019 at 7:30 pm et.  It’s absolutely FREE and will be a very relaxed discussion where you can ask me anything you’d like.

The Latest Organizing Trend

/in , , , , , , /by

 

Patricia sitting on chair outside of house

I am often asked what I think of the latest organizing craze, especially about paring down and creating makeovers.

For me personally, organizing has always been in trend.  I’ve been helping people for over 20 plus years de-clutter and design new living spaces.

But, lately it appears more women are catching on that getting organized is not just a one time activity.  Rather it’s a lifestyle one adopts that embraces the body, mind and environment.

This makes me very happy and excited because when one understands this, it’s easier to get off the merry-go-round of clutter and break the cycle a lot easier.

The fact is, living an organized life is a choice. You become more consciously aware of what’s truly important and what makes you happy, rather than focusing on external things to fulfill you.

If you’re interested, I’d love to talk to you personally and show you how to create such a lifestyle.  It would be a very relaxed call and you can ask me anything you’d like.  You can schedule your call at your convenience by clicking HERE!

I look forward to our call together!

One Day…

/in , , , , , , /by

If I gave you a dime for every time I’ve heard the words “one day,” you’d be a wealthy person.

That’s because the majority of people I talk to think one day they’ll be clutter-free and better organized.

Because, in their mind, one day they’ll actually pursue de-cluttering their life.

If you ever think that way, I’ve got news for you…

One day—that wonderful time when all the stars align—will never come.

If you want to live a clutter-free life and have the peace of mind you crave, your power is always at this moment.

So, why not start today and get serious about achieving a better quality of life and schedule a call with me. You’ll discover how to live a life of freedom where you’re in control – not the clutter.

Remember something – once you take action, you set the wheels in motion for change.  The momentum builds from there.  Soon after your life will be totally different. And I’m talking, living life on your terms, woohoo, different!

Darling, You’re Tougher Than You Think!

Life can be tough darling, but you know what?  So are you!


It takes courage to face our demons and deal with repressed or unconscious aspects of our personality.  But the flip side is that there is a life of freedom when we do.

It is through awareness and understanding, we recognize our unconscious actions, so as not to become a victim to the programmed patterns which accompany them.

In a nutshell, if we truly want to be free from the source of our suffering; fears, insecurities, doubts,  negative beliefs, we must be willing to let go of the past in order to embrace the life that is waiting for us.

The same thing holds true for clutter. Facing your demons is the only way to resolve the clutter for good.  Just clearing out your physical space will not take care of the problem.

Pen and Paper; The Benefits Of Writing It Out

/in , , /by

What are some key things you need to do but are putting on the back burner, procrastinating about or “ignoring”?

Research shows that if you get your mental list out of your head and put it down on paper you’re more likely to have significant progress.  Why?  Because “Writing entails using the hand and fingers to form letters … the sequential finger movements activate multiple regions of the brain associated with processing and remembering information.” (The Benefits Of Writing With Good Old Fashioned Pen and Paper – Huff Post Article)

Additional benefits by writing out your thoughts on paper is that:

  • It fires up the brain in different ways.
  • It slows you down.  In a good way.
  • It limits distractions.
  • It sparks creativity.

So if you would like to reduce your mental clutter and take action on the things that keep gnawing at you to get done,

TRY THIS:

  • Brain Dump!  Write  a list of all the things you need to do but are ignoring.  Get it all out of your head.
  • Remember:  Writing it out signals your sub-conscious to follow-through.
  • Keep your list visible and glance at it often.
  • Cross off items as they get done.
  • Start a new list.

You can also rewrite your list after you brain dump by chunking it into categories and/or prioritizing it if it makes you feel more organized in your head.
