Want a secret weapon to reduce your stress?

Want a secret weapon for relieving stress? Get organized.

It’s pretty much common knowledge that clutter can drain your energy. A cluttered home – a cluttered mind. But clutter also drains your finances and schedule, which we refer to as the hidden cost of clutter. Not only does it affect your energy and pocketbook, it ultimately creates a chaotic life.

Putting in the effort to get organized by establishing healthy habits, (especially if the disorganization and clutter extends to multiple areas of your life) can help reduce stress tremendously. Just think how stressful it is when you’re scrambling at the last-minute looking for your things or you show up late for a meeting because you lost track of time.

Being organized on the other hand, can leave you feeling empowered. Facing the day prepared can actually minimize the strength and duration of your stress. The key is to reduce your triggers in the first place.
Getting organized doesn’t have to be overwhelming. There are a few habits you can learn right away, such as:

• Everything in its place and a place for everything. (And that place should make sense.)
• Keep like with like.
• Dedicate 20 minutes to a task each day.

To reduce your stress, consider how organized you need to be. While you may not need your books alphabetized or have every minute scheduled in your calendar, adopting a few good habits could go a long way.

In case you haven’t heard, I’m teaching a class on the 7 Habits Of Organized People. If you want to minimize your stress and learn some pretty cool strategies, put this class on your calendar! Although I won’t be addressing how to color coordinate your clothes or line up your shoes and handbags, I can promise that you will walk away with a closet full of valuable information.

You Are Enough!

I recently attended a Master Class on dealing with rejection.

I had no idea what to expect but I was open to learning and was excited to take the class.

When I tell you that the experience I had was nothing short of profound, I truly mean it.

When I left the class, I walked away feeling “full.”  Full of knowledge, yes, but also an enormous amount of validation that I am “ENOUGH.”

The most beautiful words to my ears were:

“You are enough as you are, mess and all, beautiful and broken, showing up for your life every day.

That’s all you have to be and all you have to do. You’re already enough.”

Melisa Wilkins

My Dear Friends, let me tell you, you are more than enough! 

If you’re feeling broken and messy, that’s okay.  The truth is, we’re all broken and messy in some way.  But that doesn’t mean we’re not enough.

Buying “things” and surrounding yourself with excess “stuff” will  not give you the self-worth you are seeking. All it does is mask the pain and leave you with self-rejection and clutter.

In my upcoming class, 7 Habits Of Organized People, I’m going to show you one particular habit that will address feelings of lack and give you a better understanding of how to work through it.

If you want to dive deep with me, this is the class for you!

The Inside Scoop On How To Be Organized

 

I have some inside scoop for you!

Would you like to know why some people have little or no clutter at all and are more organized?

There’s something they do that sets them apart from people who struggle with clutter and disorganization.

I can sum it up like this:

 

They are deliberate about what they own, buy and choose to keep.

They know what brings them joy and happiness based on utility and purpose.

So what about you?  Can you say the same or are you struggling?

If you have it under control, good for you!  But if you’re struggling, ask yourself:

Why am I buying this and why do I own it?Do I still need to keep this or would some one else use it?

In my upcoming class, 7 Habits of Organized People, I’ll help you get crystal clear on how to reduce your clutter and get super organized.

It takes courage to crawl

It takes courage to crawl when you feel like you can’t move and everything is a struggle.

But remember, that one little movement, that tiny little crawl, can springboard change.

If you’re buried beneath the clutter, exhausted by the mental chaos, don’t underestimate the power you have inside of you! You’re stronger than you think.

Start with something just enough to get the wheels in motion – it doesn’t matter how small it is.

For now crawling is courage – remember that.  It’s okay.  Things will change with movement.

Mindful Tools For Organized Living

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.

A Class On Procrastination

Is procrastination getting the best of you? 

In the words of Brendon Burchard (the world’s leading productivity coach):

“Procrastination basically means you are not doing what you know you need to do when you know you need to do it. It’s putting things off because in the short term, it’s easier, it’s more comfortable and it’s more certain.”

The truth of the matter is, we all procrastinate.  We do it because at times it feels more pleasurable to be distracted or to indulge ourselves in doing something else, than it is to sit down and do the actual work to create the outputs that matter when they are needed.

Personally, when I start to procrastinate it’s usually a sign that I’m feeling overwhelmed and I need a break.  Sometimes that’s easier said than done though.  That’s when I have to give myself permission to walk away for a period of time and find something as a substitute to recharge myself.

But what about when procrastination feels as if it’s getting the best of you and you’re feeling stuck –  then what? 

Well, I don’t think it’s a good idea to bite off more than you can handle by trying to figure out how you can conquer procrastination all at once.  But what I do think is healthy is trying to figure out a way to set yourself up to do less of it. 

Make sense?  If you agree, I’d like to invite you to a workshop that I’m hosting on-line where I’ll be showing you three ways to deal with your procrastination so you can be productive.

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

 

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?

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.
