Super Thought Of The Day: What If I Succeed?!
What if you succeed? What if you do get organized and stay organized? What if you put systems in place that work for you?
I’m not a What if person, but my of my clients and/or potential clients DO what if, and usually its the other way..What if i can’t do this? what if I get messy again? What if this is too hard? I am turning it around!!!! What if you succeed????!!!
It’s TOTALLY possible. I say to be realistic on what you are willing to do and how far you are willing to go. Also patience comes into play. You have to be patient with yourself. It may have taken years to get to where you are today. It may take just as long to get out of it. And thats okay! It’s all about mindset and then process and then DO-ing! change your attitude to I Can’t to I Am!
Just get started. Start small. Step by step. Have patience and think about succeeding.
Sort Out Sunday: What Are the “What If’s” And How To Kill Them
Many times when I ask a client why they have kept an item or items, the answer starts with “What if”. It doesnt’ matter what the item is, the answer starts out the same: What if I need _______ one day? What if I need ___ just in case? What if I run out of___?
Sometimes it generational. Sometimes its status. Sometimes its anxiety.e
It a fine line between keeping SUPPLIES and hoarding forks and plates. LOL In my opinion you should have supplies/extras of things that WILL be used. SO things like Paper towels and Toilet paper are a yes. Because you continuously use them. Saving things for a what if isnt good. If your underwear drawer can’t close, time to get rid of enough underwear to close the drawer. A package of Christmas themed paper plates are fine because you are going to use them at Christmas!
I heard another organizer say only keep what reflects who you are today! Take the fear out of it. Fear breeds the saving for what if or just in case.
Super Tip Thursday: 3 Things That Can Help Your Decision-making
I have learned this from personal experience. Literally I carry my problems and stress in my stomach. SO I am going to pass on something that I pass onto my clients and friends and I believe can help you in your decision making.
Most of the time we are taught to come from our heads/brains when it comes to decision making. We are told not to be emotional when we are deciding something. People will say to you, you wear your heart on your sleeve, and that’s supposed to be bad. Well I don’t think so!! And I don’t think emotional is a bad word! Its all in how you handle things.
I believe you need to come from your HEART…first!! Get heart centered!
Listen to your gut too! The nerves down there might be trying to show you something.
Both the gut and the heart can then help the mind/brain make the best decision possible. Your body speaks to you. You have to quiet down and listen. I feel it starts with the heart and the stomach/gut!! If it doesn’t feel right, then it probably isn’t. Remember our minds can play tricks on us or tell us things that are false. Sometimes the noise in our heads can cloud our judgement.
So remember: gut….heart…mind!
