De-clutter from the heart

De-clutter from the heart

Has anyone ever given you a piece of advice that made you think twice?

The other day my mentor offered up some words of wisdom that left my head reeling.  I mean eyebrow-raising material!

Initially, I was taken aback trying to figure out where she was coming from.   But after letting her words sink in, I was grateful.

You see, what she told me was something I was already aware of.  In fact, I’ve been working on being more cognizant of it.  She said I should try to be more heart-centered instead of always being in my head. This hit a personal nerve for me.  I didn’t know it was that obvious to others that my analytical style was showing up outside of my professional life. I’m used to over-thinking and breaking things down—it’s how I make many of my decisions. But what I’ve come to find out is that that’s not always the best approach with matters of the heart.

It reminded me of the similarities people face with their clutter.  They get so caught up with “thinking” about all the things that could possibly go wrong, or what they might end up regretting, and they lose sight of what their heart wants most.

From my experience, people want to be clutter-free, and not just because they would like to have a home that is neat, tidy, and organized.  That’s just semantics.

People want to be organized because they are after something much more meaningful.  They are looking to recapture the freedom that the clutter has robbed from their life.  They are tired of having the clutter be the boss and dictate how they spend their time.

Are you looking at your need to de-clutter on the surface, or can you see the deeper reason for wanting to clear out the unnecessary stuff that’s weighing down your time and freedom?

Everyone wants a tidy and organized home, and the stress reduction that comes with it. But before you leave it at that, try taking a heart-centered approach to your de-cluttering. You, like all of us, deserve to honor the desires of your heart, to feel true peace of mind, to regain your freedom.

A heart-first clutter-free life is worthwhile, and so are you. It’s my job to remind you of that and help you get there!

3 Strategies That Can Help You Get Organized

3 Strategies That Can Help You Get Organized

There are three strategies that can make your organizing efforts more successful. 

It begins with taking a look at organizing from a psychological, social and tactical aspect. 

Here’s a quick intro to get you started:

Psychological
It’s extremely important that mentally you start out with a positive outlook and you maintain that throughout.  Feeding your mind healthy thoughts is good for the brain and helps sustain your motivation.  Using your mind to envision your outcome is also important by staying focused on the “outcome.”

Social
We are humans and we’re not designed to do things alone.  Having a support system is critical to your well-being.  A mentor, friend, coach, peer, someone that you can openly and honestly talk to and receive feedback and pointers from is the key to following through.

Tactical
Having an organizing plan that you can execute with confidence can make a huge difference with how you manage your time. Make sure you understand how to declutter, sort and organize in the most efficient manner.

All three strategies play an important role separately and collectively. Through the process of getting organized you may find yourself bouncing from one to the other for strength. endurance and stability.  ​

Remember, organizing can be something you just “do” or it can be a lifestyle.  It all depends upon how you choose to look at it.

One Word That Can Bring You Success

 

I’m often asked, “What is the secret to being organized?”


I have deep empathy for people who struggle with clutter and disorganization – because I have witnessed the pain they go through.

Just this morning I was talking to one of my students about how her life has changed since she got organized –  simply because she was able to say “Yes.”

Here’s what I mean by that –

I’m sure you can relate to getting all fired up about something, and then talking yourself out of it with all the reasons why it isn’t possible and why it won’t work out for you.

Well,  I’m here to tell you for certain, the ONLY reason things don’t work out for you is  that  you keep  finding all the reasons to say “no”, rather than all the reasons to say “yes.”

Because my client said “YES,” she’s now able to –

  • Invite people over to her home without worrying about being embarrassed by clutter
  • Find her things without always feeling like she’s on a scavenger hunt
  • Feels more peaceful and relaxed in her home which helps her sleep better at night
  • Experiences more joy and happiness throughout her day


When you can muster up the courage to say “yes” you’ll see yourself making similar progress.

I want to encourage you to think of what it is you’ve been really wanting, and then say “yes.” You’ll feel a shift inside you immediately.

And then, continue saying “yes” as you take each and every step until you find yourself living your best life – organized and all!

Lifestyle Changes That Move You To Be A Better Person

When I had my health scare, I remember two questions that weighed heavy on my mind:

1.  What is the root cause of my health problem?

2.  How can I heal myself naturally?

Those two questions led me on a wellness journey which prompted me to write my book, Organically Yours; Open Yourself to a Vibrant Healthy Life Through Clean Living.

Since then, I’ve made significant lifestyle changes – all for the better.

And I continue to seek out wellness information that makes sense for me.

I believe that any lifestyle change has to speak to you…move you to want to live better.

If you’re interested, I will be hosting a FREE Webinar where I’ll be sharing some of these lifestyle changes.

Need A Little Magic In Your Life?

Are you familiar with the folk tale of Aladdin (the Disney movie from 1992) where he rubs a  magic lamp and a genie appears and grants him 3 wishes?

It’s one of my favorite stories.

I sometimes wonder if I was granted 3 wishes like Aladdin, what I would choose and how my life would change.

So I make a little game out of it.  I think really hard about the 3 wishes I would like.  Then I try to figure out if I can turn those wishes into achievable goals.

It’s pretty interesting how this little game reveals some really big stuff.

I encourage you to try it.

Lately I’ve been thinking about how I can help make some of your wishes come true and turn them into achievable goals.

With Spring right around the corner, tidying up and getting organized I’m thinking might just be one of them.

If that’s the case, head on over HERE and see how I’ve created some magic just for you!

Julies’ Lasting Impression

Julie’s Lasting Impression

Have you ever met someone in your life that changed you forever?

I’ll never forget my experience with Julie and the lasting impression she had on me.

It was a warm Friday afternoon and I just finished the remainder of my iced tea that Julie poured for us earlier. I handed the glass back to Julie, and gave her a great big hug good-bye.

“You stay put, I can see my way out,” I told her.

We did a lot of de-cluttering work that day and I could see it took a lot of energy out of her.

As I headed down the driveway toward my car, I remember thinking…

I don’t want one more person to go through this. It’s just too painful.

By the time I reached my car, my emotions welled up and got the best of me.

I drove away feeling overwhelmed with sadness.

Not too long after, Julie lost her courageous battle with cancer.

That was the turning point in my career.

From that time forward, I made a decision to help people understand the importance of decluttering their life now, before a crisis occurs.

Today, I show women how to get organized in a way that combats the fear, overwhelm and procrastination so they feel empowered to change their life. (before a tragedy occurs)

It’s working. It’s making a difference. And I know it can for you too!

That’s why I’m excited to invite you to my MINDFULNESS WORKSHOP. It’s on-line and LIVE for one day only. Space is limited.

I hope you’ll join me.

The Transformative Power Of A Clean Space

Part of thriving under the conditions of chaos and clutter is the ability to shift your perception about what a “clean” environment looks like. I will be teaching this at my on-line event.

For example, take a look at what the Clean Matters campaign led by Clorox has to say:

“We want to go beyond the functional benefits of clean and celebrate the transformative power of clean. As the category leader, we see an opportunity to shift the perception of cleaning from a chore to the start of new possibilities. Whether it’s a clean space to work in, a germ-free table to feed your family, fresh sheets to sleep on or pure water to drink, clean creates the environments we thrive as healthier and more vibrant versions of ourselves.”

Seeing beyond the clutter allows you to see the possibilities that are ahead of you. The challenge for most people is that they get “stuck” and “paralyzed” in their chaos. It becomes so overwhelming they can’t see past their mess. Everything feels like a heavy burden, a mighty task that is insurmountable.

Too many times I witness a family not sleeping in their own bed or showering in their home. Preparing meals in their kitchen is something of the past so they resort to fast-food on a daily basis. All because of the chaos the clutter has caused. It’s heart-breaking.

Does this strike a chord with you? Is this by chance something you are experiencing? Do you know of someone who is living in these conditions? If so, I urge you to register for my on-line event. I want you to experience the transformative power of a clean environment.

Seriously, I am urging you to register…
