FALL INTO LIFE

/in , , /by

 

Happy First Day Of Fall!

As summer wraps up and fall and winter approach, there’s plenty to do to get your home ready for the coming season.

But, there’s also plenty to do to get your “life” in order.

For instance, what are some of the “things” you promised yourself you would change in your life?  Do you need a better routine?  Do you need to self-care more often?  Do you need to change your diet?

Now is the time to get organized in your home, but remember, your home is a reflection of “you.” So how do you want to move forward in life that brings out the best in you and mirrors that back into your home?

You see, if you’re concerned about your disorganization or your clutter, what you need to realize first is that this is just an outward manifestation from what’s going on within you.  So the focus should always be on YOU first to figure out the “cause.”

Now I understand that sometimes it’s not always easy to identify the “source” of your time management issues, the perpetual procrastination, the undeniable distractions, etc., but once you do, it becomes so much clearer on what your next steps should be to clean-up the outward mess.

If this makes sense to you, and you would like to FALL INTO LIFE in a productive, stress-free way, then you should consider the Mind Clearing Session that everyone is raving about.  You can learn all about it by clicking on the link below.

Remember, it all begins with YOU!

Facing Your Clutter Demons

/in , /by

Facing your clutter demons essentially means we must be willing to let go of the past in order to embrace the life that is waiting for us.

You see, behind the clutter is a story – your story.  Sometimes that story is truly lived out and holds special memories that can be both joyful and painful.  And then there’s the story that we tell ourselves – the story we wish would have happened and never did.  Either story can keep us locked up in the past if there are unresolved issues.

To resolve the clutter and put the story to rest it takes more than just clearing out your physical space. You have to look within and deal with the events that transpired in your life that keep  you imprisoned.  Although this may feel intimidating and uncomfortable for many, it’s the first step to uncovering what’s really behind the chaos.

It’s also important to understand why you are manifesting with clutter.  To manifest means you are demonstrating outwardly a feeling.  Emotional turmoil has no other choice but to come out.   Clutter is how you are choosing to release these emotions. Until the feelings are dealt with the clutter will continue to build.

Telling yourself that you have clutter because you are lazy or engaging in any other negative self-talk does not help your situation and only causes you to feel worse about it.  So although it may be true that you may be holding onto things because you feel sentimental, guilty, insecure etc., those are just external feelings that derive from the story.  Remember that!

It takes courage to face your demons.  Give yourself a huge pat on the back and credit for recognizing this!

Once you make peace with your past, de-cluttering your physical space is much easier.  This is because you are freeing yourself from the mental clutter that keeps you in conflict about holding on to your things.

There’s a new life out there to be lived.  It’s called clutter-free living.  And it’s waiting for you!

Why Clutter Exists and What It’s Trying To Tell You

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

There’s a question that stumps many people when I ask them: What is your clutter trying to tell you?

But before we get into answering that, let’s take a look at some of the reasons why you might have clutter to begin with.

Clutter usually starts when there is a significant life change. Examples may include a health setback, a death, loss of a relationship, a change in career, financial burden, and so on.

These life changes can impact a person and can trigger a range of emotions such as feeling anxious, depressed, sad, angry, frustrated, overwhelmed, stressed, etc.

Over time, if we do not deal with our emotions, they can activate a cycle of hopelessness and feeling stuck in life, all of which lead to a breakdown of the human spirit.

When the human spirit is compromised, it is only natural that inward feelings will be expressed outwardly, which we refer to as manifesting. For some, this outward manifestation means clutter.

Now, if we go back to the original question—What is your clutter trying to tell you?—and follow the trail of your clutter’s origin, the answer becomes more obvious. Perhaps there are some unresolved emotions and frustrations in your life that you haven’t dealt with. Take a close look at your life and the places where a life change may be manifesting as clutter.

Everyone’s clutter signifies something different. It’s important to understand how yours originated so you can begin to recognize some of the unresolved areas in your life that still need healing.

Healing your past pains is a crucial part of creating a life of joy and peace now. And once you can break out of your cycle of pain, anger, or hopelessness, you may find it becomes easier to reassess your clutter and see it for what it truly is.

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.

The Real Reason People Crave Organization

The Real Reason People Crave Organization

During one of my workshops, I asked the students to write down the reasons why it is so important for them to be organized. 

Most of the answers were the same…

  • I want to be able to find my things
  • I don’t want to be late for appointments
  • I would like to have guests over to entertain

Then I asked them to write down the reasons why it is so important for them to find their things, not be late for appointments and have guests over.

And then something interesting happened…

Just about every student sat there with a vacant look on their face, similar to a deer in headlights stare.

You see, on the surface, people can generally express why they want to be organized, but when you ask them to get in touch with it on a deeper level, they find it rather difficult to articulate their feelings.

The truth of the matter is, people want to be more organized because they crave something much deeper.  More meaningful.

The challenge is getting them to unleash the frustration, overwhelm and stress they have suppressed from playing hide-and-seek and cringing from embarrassment because they missed a deadline, showed up late or have to tell another fib about why they can’t have company over.

I have found in my 20+ some years of being in practice, that until a person can get in touch with the root cause of their clutter the cycle will continue.  It is the reason why I created Coaching Through The Clutter; Mindful Tools for Organized Living.  It is a coaching program that helps people not just release their clutter but also become more consciously aware so they can begin to make healthier choices in their life.

If you would like to learn more about this coaching program and how it can serve you, then I would love to connect with you.  Simply click HERE to schedule a FREE call with me.

One Word That Can Bring You Success

/in , , , , , , , /by

 

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!

If you want my help on how to get started – all the details are here!
