THE TRUTH ABOUT CLUTTER

For over 20 years, I have been speaking on the subject matter of organizing.  Although the topic of wellness is now in the forefront, I still circle back around to the benefits of living an organized lifestyle.  Yet, it doesn’t seem to matter where I speak, who is in the audience, or how I broach the subject matter, there is always something heavy on people’s minds.

That heaviness I believe derives from the perplexity of clutter.  Most people are constantly battling the war on clutter without success.  This leaves them feeling defeated, overwhelmed and downright exhausted.  It begs the question, over and over, What’s the secret to curing clutter?
 
Take yesterday for example.  I was speaking at the Health Expo in New York and  people wanted to know the answers to many of these questions:
  
How do I get a handle on my stuff?  
How can I clear out my clutter for good?
Why does my clutter come back?
Why does my clutter get the best of me?
 
So I told them the truth about clutter.  Before I explained what that truth was, I said that most people probably have heard it before and others may not  like what they are about to hear. But that doesn’t  mean it’s not the truth.
You see, there really is a way to curing clutter.  But it’s not what most people think.
The reality is, that most of us go outside ourselves to seek the answers to our questions.  We have a difficult time believing that the power we need to be successful is within us. So we blame outside circumstances on our inability to win the battle and continually look for the secret elixir that is going to cure the clutter.
The truth is …  the cure for your clutter is well within our grasp.
It all starts by first acknowledging that clutter is ruling our life.  And if we want the chaos of clutter to stop, we must see this as something that is very important in our life. When something is truly important, it ranks as a high priority for us to take action.  That action then requires follow-through until the completion stage.
The problem is, however, that most people find this extremely difficult to do.  They lack the follow-up skills that are necessary.  The good news is, just like organizing, it is a skill set that can be learned.  But again, just like organizing, in order to be successful, you need to have SUPPORT.
My Clutter Coaching Program provides you with a bullet-proof plan of action and a model that will keep you motivated, committed and accountable to curing your clutter.
If you are struggling with clutter and you are at a point in your life where you can honestly say that you are ready to win the war by making it your number one PRIORITY, then I would like to hear from you.
Just hit “Reply” to this email and tell me why you feel you are ready.  Include your phone number and I will reach out to you for a complimentary Discovery Session.    You have nothing to lose but your clutter.

I hope to hear from you soon!

WOMEN’S LEADERSHIP IN WELLNESS

It was an amazing time at the Employee Healthcare Congress in LA.  So many passionate people looking to make a difference.  Having the opportunity to sit alongside such influential thought leaders –  Lorna Borenstein of Grokker Inc.,  Cat Lee of Pinterest, Becky Cantieri of Survey Monkey, Pat Wadors of LinkedIn and our amazing moderator, Rasheda Ali was an education in itself.  We talked about why wellness is so important for women in the workplace, the importance of having a mentor, tips for working mothers and so much more.  A wealth of information was shared and I learned so much from these beautiful and powerful women.  It was an honor and a privilege.

L A U G H

They say that laughter is the best medicine.  I couldn’t agree more.

Earlier this morning I was getting myself all worked up about something and was feeling overly stressed.  The stress weakened my confidence and I started to hear the voice of that little gremlin that comes out every now and then.  When my gremlin makes an appearance, that little rascal puts on a mighty powerful show.  She likes to take hold of my ear and remind me of all the things that I worked so hard to reverse and/or let go of in my life.

Every now and then if I’m disconnected from my “self” she likes to whisper little untruths to me.  And if I don’t put a stop to her nonsense right away, her whispers quickly can turn into a loud voice that almost has an echo effect.  It’s as if I hear in multi-dimensional voices shouting all the things that tell me, ‘I’m not good enough’ or ‘It’s not good enough.’

But for some reason, when I heard her voice this time, I found it very funny.  And the more I thought about it, I started to LAUGH.  The next thing I knew, I was laughing out loud until tears were rolling down my face.  You see, I was laughing at myself.  How silly was I to even think these things and let them get the best of me.  The thought of me listening to that gibberish and allowing myself to be full of  fear, worry, and doubt created such an anxious state of mind that I really had to look at this from a different perspective.  And when I did, I just started to LAUGH.

 

The more I laughed, the more I thought about the word LAUGH and what it stands for.  I understand that laughing is an expression of amusement but this was so much more.  What I was really curious about was, ‘What was the message behind my fit of laughter?’  And then in my mind’s eye I looked at the word LAUGH and there it was.

L = Look

A = At

U = Us

G = Getting

H = Happy

Think about it.  As a society we are always on the go.  We tell ourselves that we have to be better and do better – that our best is not enough.  That’s simply untrue!  As long as we know that we are giving our best and doing our best that should be plenty.

Look, I’m all about productivity and efficiency.  Seriously, it’s what my career has been all about.  But when I saw the humor in how we work ourselves up into this hyper state of over thinking everything to the point of almost pure insanity and detachment of our true self, I found that it was necessary to take a big step back and give this the attention it deserves.  I had to ask myself,  ‘What did I just learn about myself here?’

From this experience I came away with a few things…

Laughing kicks in all those wonderful endorphins that make us happy and can transform our mood immediately.  After all, who doesn’t want to feel happy?  Laughter allows for us to be forgiving of ourselves and yes, others.  I also learned that I don’t have to take life so seriously.  I can ease up and be gentle with myself.  It’s super important to be your own best friend. We’re not always going to please everyone and that’s okay.  Slow down and give yourself permission to breathe. We do our best work when we remain calm.

And most importantly, life is good, so love yourself in this life and always remember to LAUGH.  It is the best medicine out there!
