Oh Where, Oh Where Did My Papers Go?

/in , , , , /by
There is nothing more frustrating than looking for something you cannot find – wouldn’t you agree?  How many times have you tried to reach for something – hoping that it would be right there in front of you – right within finger tips reach – and it’s not!
Disappointing isn’t it? 
Now let’s look at this from a paper perspective.Generally speaking, our papers hold information we need.  At some point we will take some type of action on these papers.  These paper can represent mail that has to be opened, a bill that requires payment, or a very important document that calls for immediate attention.
Regardless of what type of information the paper may be holding, the paper has something to do with a very personal part of who we are.  This is the very reason why our papers can be so emotional to deal with – they hold emotional energy.
Our papers tell a story of our past, present and future. 
How we handle our paper can determine where we go.
So if our papers are not organized and they are not easily accessible when we need them, well, you get the picture – you are going to feel emotional about it.
Are you getting this?  This is really cool stuff!If you would like to learn more about how to organize your paperwork so you can move in the right direction, then you won’t want to miss out on my Live Event:

Love Yourself

/in , , , , /by

Dear Friends,

When was the last time you did something with your full heart and soul – I mean really put every ounce of your “being” into it? Can you remember that feeling you experienced – almost bliss like, yes?

For me, when I’m in a creative space, it’s as if my entire self takes over and I feel as if things are just naturally flowing – I don’t question much or for that matter even really think too much…I’m just really happy being me.

I think when we’re happy being ourselves, we get a clearer picture of what it feels like to love ourselves. Can you just for a moment, consider what it might look like if everyone in your inner circle of family and friends really loved themselves? Now expand upon that – can you imagine what life would feel like?

Awhile ago, I read a book “Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It” by Kamal Ravikant. I have since reread the book countless times. It’s a short read, but one that leaves a lasting impression. To give you a peek into the author’s life, look at what he has to say…

“I’ve been fortunate enough to have some amazing experiences in my life so far. I’ve trekked to one of the highest base camps in the Himalayas, meditated with Tibetan monks in the Dalai Lama’s monastery, earned my US Army Infantry patch, walked 550 miles across Spain, lived in Paris, been the only non-black, non-woman member of the Black Women’s writers’ group, written a novel, held the hands of dying patients, and worked with some of the best people in Silicon Valley. But the most transformative experience has been the simple act of loving myself.”

May I recommend you pick up a copy for yourself – I don’t think you will be disappointed.

With Love & Gratitude,

Patricia Diesel

 

Why Life Recovery Matters

/in , , , , , , /by
What do you do when it feels as though everything is crashing down on you?

How do you RECOVER?

If you or someone you care about has decided changes are desperately needed in order to lead a better life – congratulations because that awareness is a big step.

The next step is to ask yourself: “What are the changes I need to make and how do I go about doing it?” 

This is what Life Recovery is all about.
There are a countless number of events that can impact a life and knock even the strongest individual into a sense of desperation and hopelessness. Some examples are:

  • Divorce/Ending of a Relationship
  • Clutter/Hoarding
  • Care Giving
  • Illness
  • Death
  • Career Changes
  • Financial Distress

We are all human and there will be times when we will hurt. That is when we realize just how fragile we are. Because we are delicate, a person may not cope with a life changing event very well. The frustrating part is when a person recognizes that they are captured by an unforgiving cycle of behavior and do not know how to get out of it.

Life Recovery is about thriving again.  It’s about seeing things from a different perspective and thinking outside the box.  And it’s about HOPE!  The belief that life can and will be different. 

 

Where there is hope, there is usually inspiration.  And that inspiration can lead to a vision – greater clarity if you will.  And this can motivate us to take action which can change everything and birth new beginnings.

I also believe that sharing is caring.  So I would like to share with you all the all the things that I have learned and how I was able to move forward and make decisions that have created a deeper understanding in my life.

Won’t you join me for this very special Tel-Class on Tuesday, February 24, 2015 at 7:00 PM ET. 

CLICK HERE TO REGISTER FOR THIS FREE EVENT

I really look forward to this special event.  I also have some exciting news to share with you so I hope you will make every effort to attend.

With love,

Let’s Have Lunch Together

/in , /by
It would be so nice if you and I could chat for a bit over lunch!

You know, we can talk about “things” such as your hopes and dreams for 2015.  And what it would look like if those hopes and dreams came to fruition.

Have you ever wondered what that would really look like?  Can you truly imagine what that would then feel like?  And then… have those hopes and dreams come into your reality for good?

Well dear friend, it initially begins with a dream and a desire, this is true.  But eventually those dreams and desires become a goal we seek after.  I’m talking about the type of goal that is attainable and can easily manifest into other goals.

Have you ever had that experience? Well, I have and it’s an amazing process.  One that I would like to share with you. I think it would make a great conversation piece over lunch.

So will you please be my guest on  Monday, December 8th at 12:00 Noon?

You see, it’s very important to me that you succeed this year like never before.  It’s a little mission of mine.  No, I take that back, it’s a big mission of mine and I want you to be part of my bigger plan.

So what do you say, can I set a place for you at my table for lunch?  Yes?  Good!  Now all you have to do is register and I’ll be seeing you on the other side!

A Simple Concept

/in , , , , /by
As I continue to encourage people to live simply and create an environment that is clutter free, I realize more and more what this truly provides for a person.

It’s no big secret we all have our “stuff” that can cause emotional clutter at times – but combine that with physical clutter and well, that can really complicate things.

Where does one go to “sort” things out?  Where does one go to “clear” their head? Where does one go to find “peace” of mind?

Think about that!

It hurts me when I see someone who is struggling with a cluttered environment because I know their mind is hurting.

A home that is safe, comfortable and neat reduces stress and provides overall wellness.   Having a place we can take refuge from when the world starts to get too much is a gift we give to ourselves.

Here’s a simple concept:

Our home needs to be taken care of so it can take care of us.

When we reward our home for all the shelter it provides, we are also rewarded in kind.

It’s really that simple.

With Love,

Is Your Kitchen Smiling?

/in , , , /by
A kitchen is such an important place in the home, wouldn’t you agree?

A lot happens in the kitchen. 

Think about it.

In the kitchen we stock our cabinets with utensils and kitchenware to prepare and enjoy our meals.

We store our food in pantries, cupboards, the refrigerator and freezer.

Some of us dine in the kitchen with table and chairs, while others take a more causal approach with an island counter and stools.

There’s an obvious purpose for the kitchen – it’s a room that provides nourishment for us.

But it’s also a place where we converse and commune with others. Or where we find solace in a cup of coffee/tea with our morning or evening read.

The kitchen is an important room.

Did you know you can learn a lot about a person by observing their kitchen?  It can reveal their habits, routines, patterns, circumstances and so much more. 

For example:

  • When you are looking for your utensils do you find them easily?
  • When you go to stock your cabinets, do you have room to put your things away?
  • When you gather your food, are you aware of what you do or don’t have?
  • When you sit to enjoy your meal is your table or counter clear for your place setting?
  • When your communing with others or just by yourself, is it a relaxed, inviting area?

So what do you think – is your kitchen smiling?

Curious to learn more about your kitchen and what it may be saying about you?

If so, please join me in this upcoming tel-class. Once you register, you will receive a short questionnaire to complete. We will review it together in class.

Till then, I’ll be cooking up some good stuff to share with you from my kitchen.

Disorder Distracts – Order Brings Focus

/in , , , , , , /by

I’ve heard it been said that “Wisdom is the study of difference.”

I thought about this and how it applies to disorder and order.

For example, I have always said…

“Show me a person with clutter and I will show you their lack of follow through.”

Clutter, a form of disorder, distracts the mind.

Organization is order and brings clarity.

Look at the below picture – do you think you can be productive, focused, and orderly in this environment?

 

Now look at this picture – do you think this environment would bring about focus, clarity and order?

 

 

What are you experiencing right now?  Do you understand the difference between order and disorder in the context of how it can make a true difference in your life?

Here is a fact:

If I can change what you know, I can change what you do.

And if I can change what you do to help you be more organized and efficient, I think you will then understand that “Wisdom is the study of difference.”

Interested in learning more?  I hope so!  I will be teaching you how to apply 7 Organizing Laws into your life that are bound to be life changing.

So don’t waste any more time – register now!
