Home, Sweet Home

Home, Sweet Home

Home, sweet home is an expression of delight/contentment on returning home after an absence.

Research suggests that it originated from a song from the opera Clari, or the Maid of Milan which was first performed at Covent Garden, London in 1823.

The lyrics were written by American actor and playwright John Howard Payne (1791-1852).

Popularized during the late 19th century it became an anthem for soldiers during the American Civil War.

Since my home is an actual cottage, I especially love these few lines:.

Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam,
Be it ever so humble there’s no place like home!
An exile from home splendor dazzles in vain;
Oh, give me my lowly thatch’d cottage again!
Home! Home! Sweet, sweet home!
There’s no place like home!

So how are you feeling about your home these days? Is your home something you refer to as home, sweet home after an absence or do you feel anxious and overwhelmed upon your return?

In a study that surveyed residents of the US and Canada on the relationship between clutter and personal well-being, the research hypothesizes that clutter might prevent people from reaping the benefits of having a home – a place commonly associated with comfort and security.
(“The Dark Side of Home” – Journal of Environmental Psychology)

One of the key findings was that:

Clutter had a negative impact on self-reported well-being and a “strong negative impact on feelings of security, safety and other positive emotional benefits derived from a sense of psychological home,” a term that refers to the concept of “home” as a “vital source of meaning, belonging, and identity.”

The one thing I know for sure is that clutter hurts. It hurts your well-being in all aspects and robs you of having a home, sweet home.

Stop The Insanity

Are you familiar with this quote from Einstein?

“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.”

Well, I recently learned that the accurate quote, according to Quote Investigator, is…

“Insanity is repeating the same mistakes and expecting different results.”

Now, I’m not here to steal Einstein’s thunder, (I actually have a “thing” for the MAN) but I found it pretty interesting that there is quite a distinction between the two quotes.

Did you happen to catch it?

Repeating the same mistakes is insanity.

NOT doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

Here’s why.

If you do something over and over again, such as exercising, and you are looking for a different result with your body appearance or emotional health, how is that insane?  It’s not.  It’s logical and practical that you will see a different result.

But if you keep repeating the same mistakes, such as not opening your mail, or not doing the laundry or overspending, and expecting a different result, that’s more in line with insane thinking.  Not only will you get the same results but it will get worse.

Are you following me here? 

It’s like my Mindfulness Program – there are 6 Mindful Tools that you repeat over and over until you start seeing the results of living a clutter-free life.  And it works!

Insanity would be not repeating the mindful tools and expecting them to work.  Big Mistake!

What mistakes are you making in your life that you keep repeating and looking for a different result?

If you’ve been trying to declutter your life, perhaps there are some “things” you could be doing differently to get you the REAL results you deserve.

Let’s talk about it and see what we can come up with so you can finally stop the insanity and get the results you deserve.  (I think Einstein would like that!)

Resolve To Reduce Clutter

RESOLVE TO REDUCE CLUTTER

Well, February is almost over and I know so many of you had good intentions to resolve your clutter by now.

So let me ask you this…

Why do you think you continue to struggle?

If I had to guess, I would say that you think you can go it alone.  That it won’t take that long and eventually it will all go away and get better.  Sound about right?

Let me share something that I learned from one of the top motivational and productivity coaches in the world, Brendon Burchard.  There is something that highly productive people have in common and that is they all have support.  Whether it’s a team of people or an individual coach, they all recognize that having support is paramount to their success.

It’s the reason why I designed my on-line course, Mindful Tools for Organized Living. – to give people an on-going resource of support.

Listen, whether you’re trying to figure out how to declutter and let go of your things, or organize and find homes for your stuff, there are strategies that can help you resolve your clutter much easier and faster. If you’re struggling, it’s because you’re doing it the hard way.

Perhaps it’s time for you to commit to resolving your clutter, once and for all.

Turn Chaos Into Calm By Reconnecting With The Lighter Side Of Life

Organically Yours All In One

Sometimes life doesn’t go the way you planned.  A heath setback, career change or end of a relationship can cause mental stress. Stress that may feel unfamiliar and scary at times.

If we are open to it, we can usually find helpful tips that can ease the transition a little more gently while on the bumpy path of life.  Anything that can lighten the heaviness and safeguard your well-being is a plus.

During fragile times, it’s not uncommon however to revert to unhealthy choices.  Unfortunately when we choose this course, we eventually find that all we did was delay our healing and progress.  We come to learn that trying to fill a void with “things” just doesn’t work – and all you’re left with is the burden of excess; too much of this and too much of that.

In my book,  Organically Yours, I give you concrete action oriented steps  and spiritual practices to help you come to terms with some of life’s little challenges.  The idea is to grow and learn from your experience so you’re equipped with the right tools for life’s ups and downs.

It can be life altering when you walk toward the light and make bright healthy choices rather than running with fear and making impulsive, random decisions.

You see, I understand this familiar path.  I’ve been there.  And I can share with you that amidst the chaos it is possible to find the calm by reconnecting with yourself.  Your light is there.

Organically Yours takes a holistic approach to healing utilizing the body, mind and living environment.  I found  all three are equally important for a balanced life, especially in times of turmoil.

I’ve combined the book with training videos and a workbook that walks you through each component of the body, mind and living space.  You also get additional bonus items when you take me up on my special offer that you don’t want to miss! (You’ll have access to my inside secrets I learned when I was going through a difficult time.)

You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.  Go ahead, your brighter self will thank you for it!

YES, I WANT ORGANICALLY YOURS NOW!

 

 

 

 

A Reminder We Can All Use

A REMINDER WE CAN ALL USE

Imagine – The Peace Of Mind From Being Organized

IMAGINE

 The Peace Of Mind From Being Organized

As you may know, I coach people that benefit from a mindful, holistic approach to clutter-free living.  I care for my clients, which is why I’m writing this note to you today.  I’d like to offer you or someone you care about something – a second opinion.

My second opinion service is a time-tested process I use to determine where you (or your loved ones) are now and where you would like to go by reviewing your lifestyle goals and identifying any conditions that may need improvement.

It never hurts to know more and I want to help you and the one you care about live a stress-free, organized life.

 

Why now?  I’ve never seen so many people hungry for wellness solutions.  This includes the body, mind and living space.  There’s a a lot of uncertainty in today’s world and a noticeable shift where people long for alternative methods for their well-being.

I want to help make sure the people I work with have peace of mind from being clutter-free and living a lifestyle that is conducive to the wellness they deserve.  Plus, I want to provide them with the right tools to ward off any potential risk factors that may negatively influence their quality of life.

THREE POTENTIAL OUTCOMES:

  1.  I find you are in good shape and advise you to continue doing what is already working.
  2.  I find you could improve your lifestyle conditions and if I’m not a fit for your particular needs, I am happy to point you in the right direction to someone who can work with you effectively.
  3.  I find gaps in your current lifestyle and feel I could provide a significant advantage in helping you reach your wellness goals.  I would then explore the idea of working together and what that would look like.

If you think you or the people you care about would benefit from a second opinion – please take advantage of my no-obligation offer by scheduling your call with me HERE!

The Cost Of Procrastination

The Cost Of Procrastination

When I ask women why they think they have clutter, they usually say it’s because they have trouble with following through.

I explain to them that if procrastination is their chief complaint, it usually is a symptom of something else.

Then I flip the situation around and ask them this question:

How often do you tell someone else that you’ll do something and then not follow through?

And their answer in most cases is always the same…”Not very often.”

You see, sometimes the problem is that we place more value on making commitment to others than we do for ourselves.

Unfortunately this comes at a huge cost.

Then it’s time to ask…

At what price am I willing to pay for the consequences of doing this?

Because the cost can be high.

It’s been determined that clutter creates an unhealthy environment, which leads to an unhealthy life.

But luckily, I have the antidote to help you combat this.

It’s 20+ years of proven strategies that are all inside my Mindfulness Workshop.

And you can still grab a seat while they are available.

All you have to do is go HERE!

The unbearable heaviness of clutter remains heavy on my heart

The unbearable heaviness of clutter remains heavy on my heart.

I have witnessed countless women suffer from the unbearable heaviness of clutter.

Their suffering remains heavy on my heart…

Until the day arrives when they are set free from the clutter.

Unfortunately, many women procrastinate a very long time before they finally take action.  The latest research gives us a little insight into why…

“A recent study published in Current Psychology,
found a substantial link between procrastination and clutter problems.  Procrastination is closely tied to clutter, because sorting through and tossing items is a task that many people find unpleasant and avoid. It takes time to file away important papers or sort through a dining room table buried under books.”

Stress is also a huge problem with clutter.  We know that stress is inflammatory and causes problems with the immune system.  Clutter and stress are a toxic combination.

Research shows that there is a “growing body of evidence that clutter can negatively impact mental well-being, particularly among women. Clutter can also induce a physiological response, including increased levels of cortisol, a stress hormone.”
I can give you countless reasons why I advocate for women to get organized…all of them lead to a healthier life.
