Struggling With CLUTTER?

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

So many people struggle with clutter.

 

They don’t have to.

 

They can live clutter free.  There are options.

 

Yet, people by and large still struggle.

 

Why is that?

 

 

It’s a question that I have asked myself for years. In fact, I was so intrigued by this question that I found myself on a quest to find the answer. Unbeknown to me, I soon found that this one question was packed with more than I bargained for.

 

I wanted to know, understand, and come to terms with, ‘why human beings insist on struggling – even when they don’t have to?’

 

This question posed other questions for me.  Unleashing my deep desire to come to a better understanding of:

 

  • Why are so many people depressed?
  • Why do we feel anxious?
  • What are we all so afraid of?
  • Why is there so much imbalance in the world?
  • What is the human spirit capable of?

 

Which evolved into what I guess, one would say, a spiritual journey for me.

 

Over the years, I have received countless emails from people asking: What’s the secret to living a clutter-free life?

 

And with each inquiry my quest grew deeper.

 

I wanted to help these people.

 

I wanted to get them to a place where they could live in a home that was neat and clean.

 

I wanted them to stop worrying and feel at peace.

 

And most of all I wanted their pain to go away.  It broke my heart to see them suffer.

 

I wish I could tell you that I was able to figure out all the answers, but there are still many questions that remain open.

 

However, this spiritual journey that I speak of has served me well.  It has provided a richer understanding of why some people choose to free themselves of clutter while others remain stuck.

 

Yet, that didn’t stop my quest for trying to help those who are still struggling.

 

With compassion and tenacity, I created a program that is simple to implement for freeing your mind.

 

Mindful Tools For Organized Living is the most elite and complete, step-by-step program that will help you overcome your stress, overwhelm and procrastination.

 

All that is required is a few necessities:

 

  • You show up
  • You are committed
  • You keep an open mind
  • You embrace mentoring

 

With these requirements, everything else will fall neatly into place.

 

I am confident when I say; It is the only program you’ll ever need to finally get organized for good!

Here’s How To Handle Unproductive Days

/in /by

 

We all have them – productive days where you feel like a champ and can tackle anything that comes your way.

I think that’s why when the not so good, unproductive days come our way, we feel a mix of emotions from disappointment to overwhelm.

The best way I handle the wave of an off day is by tapping into a few simple strategies.  Here is what’s recommended when you can’t get out of your own way:

  1. Take a Short Break … (to relax your mind)
  2. Seek Out Inspiration …(to help lift your spirits)
  3. Eliminate Distractions … (to keep you focused)
  4. Tackle a small task …(to help you feel productive)
  5. Evaluate the Reason Behind the Lack of Productivity … (to keep you in touch with your feelings)

I must admit that I do feel much better when I apply these techniques, but I also found that it reduces the amount of time of indecisiveness that usually accompanies unproductive days.Hope this helps you out a bit.  Feel free to share any tips that you may have.

Till next time, be well.

How to bring more ‘positivity’ into your life

/in , , /by

Let’s talk a little bit about “positivity”…

Positivity is the ability to meet challenges and situations in life with an “I can do it,” “I’ll figure it out,” “Things will work out,” attitude.

Now here’s the thing…

It’s not that people with positive attitudes don’t face the same disappointments, challenges and stressors in life that everyone else does.  Not at all.

The difference is that they choose to find a productive and positive way to cope and respond to challenges.

Studies have shown that positive thinking brings positive responses in your body which can boost your mood and diminish stress.

Again, we all have stressors in our life, but by practicing the power of positivity the more likely it will be that you will enjoy a sense of well-being.

Here’s a very powerful exercise you can do immediately to help you feel more positive:

  • Make a list (yes, write it down) of all the things that are going well in your life, of the things that bring you joy and the things you are grateful for.
  • Make an effort to read it first thing in the morning and before going to bed.  Also, place it in a place during the day where you can read it often.
  • Why is this important?  Because by focusing on the aspects of your life that are going well for you can promote a positive attitude in the rest of your life.

Now here’s a little suggestion.  If you are struggling right now and the idea of “positivity” seems far-fetched, it could be that you just need a little mental clarity.  So I’m going to invite you to schedule a FREE one-on-one call with me so I can explain how the mind clearing exercise (you know, the one that people are raving about) can be your new best friend.

Just click the link below and rest assured that soon you will feel lighter, have a sense of peace and yes, be  more positive.

Get Your Life In Order

/in , , , , /by

Do you know why “order” feels good?  Well, in part it’s because our brain doesn’t have to work so hard.

Clutter creates stress that has three major biological and neurological effects on us—our cortisol levels, our creativity and ability to focus, and our experience of pain.

No matter how we slice it, when clutter creeps in to the point where it exceeds our ability to manage it – havoc occurs in our world.

So if you’re struggling with clutter, it stands to reason that your mind is craving calm, clarity and focus.  That’s why I am going to suggest that you attend my FREE webinar.

Makes sense?  (I think it does!)

In A Funk?

/in , , , /by

So, you’re in a funk, huh?

Let’s look at some reasons why this happens and how to get yourself out of it.

Fatigue:  It’s Time For Recovery

Your body is telling you that it needs better care.  Fatigue can feel like a bad hangover, only this hangover is from lack of sleep and a poor diet.  Pay attention to how you are managing your body. Treat your body like a Temple.

Reaction:  Understand Your Triggers

What are you reacting to – Rude comments? Negative thoughts? Past sadness? Upsetting email? Your triggers can cause overwhelm and stress. Journal your feelings to release and get clear.

Rumination:  Move Around

Are negative thoughts playing over and over in your head – like a merry-go-round you can’t get off of?  When this happens you need to interrupt the pattern by moving around or changing your location.  Get up, move, stretch, bounce around,  go for a walk or run.  Just move.

Here are some additional things you can do:

Set an intention for the next hour.  What would be a win for you?  What will make you feel better so you’re back in charge? (not the negative thoughts) How can you take back control?  It could be something very simple. Little things go a long way.

Turn on the positivity.  Listen to a podcast, audio book, youtube, read a book.  This helps reset your mind.

Tackle an action.  Make the bed, clean your desk, do the laundry, empty the dishwasher. Anything that makes you feel productive will help shake the funk.

Share your feelings.  Don’t be afraid to confide in someone with how you’re feeling.  Seek professional support if needed.

PS:  Be mindful of your clutter build up during this time.  If you need support you can schedule a FREE call with me by CLICKING HERE.

Shattering Resistance to an Organized Life

/in , , , , , /by

On a scale of 1 to 10, how content are you with the feeling of being organized in your life right now?

Let’s assume 10 would be if you had everything just the way you wanted it – everything had a place and everything was in its place. You could locate whatever you needed without wasting time, you could have people over at the drop of a hat without stressing and you felt joy in knowing your place brought you peace of mind.

With being organized at that high water mark, where would you say you are at today?

Is it a 7? Or an 8? Higher? Lower?

And considering where your organized life is, do you have a concrete plan for moving up on the scale?

The first step to getting to a level 10 from wherever it is now, is to truly believe it is possible. That’s the first step to overcoming resistance.

To that end, I believe that if you are at a level 1 you can make the best of every situation you are in …

But you must be willing to seize opportunity when it knocks on your door.

The reason I’m telling you all of this is because I like to begin my week doing something that will motivate me for the week ahead. So here’s what I have in store for this week:

Today I am giving away my private notes to “Shattering Resistance to an Organized Life.” All you have to do is click on the link below to schedule a FREE call with me and I’ll personally review my notes with you.

Here’s you chance to move up the scale! Opportunity is here – open the door!
