Clutter Busting: Decisions Made This Week

by Leave a Comment

Well I had to challenge myself if I challenged you. So how did my week of “putting it where it belongs” go? It went well.

You can see the kitchen counter by the phone (my big hot spot). The laundry room does not have anything in it that is not related to laundry or that is not permanently stored there. And the stairs are clear (usually used as a staging area for moving things upstairs).

Lessons I learned from this challenge:

  • It takes less time to do something than I think.
  • There is less chaos in the house when things are stored where they belong (knew this just needed a reminder).
  • Having a clean and sparkly sink when I come downstairs in the morning starts the day on a positive note.
  • Clear counters and stairs make me happy and enthused to do more.

What lessons did you learn from this challenge?

Clutter Busting: Clutter = Delayed Decisions

by Leave a Comment

Are you feeling overwhelmed with too much stuff? Are you feeling too busy to handle the stuff in your life? Are you putting off handling things because you are feeling uncomfortable?

The more stuff we have in our lives, the more challenging it is to deal with. We can feel like we don’t know where to start so why bother. Having too much stuff in your life…too much paper, too many t-shirts or too many pots and pans can simply be because of delayed decisions.

So the question is why are decisions difficult for you? Are you avoiding working on your taxes because you don’t want to know your financial status? Are you leaving your house in disarray so you don’t have to deal with company? Are you not sorting the boxes or closet because you will have to deal with the feelings that will arise from the loss of a loved one? Are you afraid of making a “bad” decision?

Clutter Busting: Your Beliefs About a Healthy Weight

by Leave a Comment

Since this is National Nutrition Month® I wanted to share a post about healthy weight and our beliefs from a while back. What is true for you and your healthy weight?

Think about your beliefs about being at a healthy weight. Are they still true for you? Do you struggle with achieving a healthy weight? What are your mental messages about your weight and eating healthy?

It does take an attitude adjustment and a daily commitment to eat healthy…to nourish your body to support the life of your dreams. If you continue to believe that achieving weight loss is hard work, it will be that way for you.  But if you choose to become your own priority and choose to eat healthier, lose weight, if needed, and be physically active you will be able to be a healthier you.

Become your own priority. If you interested in learning how life  coaching can assist you in reaching your goals, contact me to learn more.

 

Clutter Busting: Small Things Matter

by Leave a Comment

There is a lot going on in our lives and that can contribute to us feeling off balance. Sometimes it all feels overwhelming but you can control your piece of the world.  Even small changes such as a new lipstick color or trying a new recipe may be all it takes to spur you on to bigger changes.

So shake things up and change one small thing. What will it be? I just bought a new pair of earrings in a different style than I usually wear.

What will I change next? What will you change next?
