Organizing Challenges and Hurdles
Organizing Challenges and Hurdles By: Janet L. Hall
By choice or happenstance you have become disorganized. Life
seems to be spinning out of control, and until you make the
choice to take some action things will only remain the same and
probably get worse.
Do organizing challenges and hurdles stand between you and the
life, office, or home you would like to have?
With every drawer, cabinet, closet, desk, office, and room you
attempt to organize you might be faced with hurdles:
>>What to keep >>What to toss >>Where to store items >>What to
let go of >>How to let go of your stuff >>Where or who might
need or benefit from stuff that's STILL USABLE.
However, each HURDLE you overcome and each area you clear will
make you stronger AND get you closer to having a less chaotic
life.
Maybe you've tried on your own to declutter but couldn't get
over the feelings of discomfort, or pain you might have had to
face. Maybe your obstacles are deeper inside you; emotional
baggage one of my clients calls it.
While dealing with all your stuff your feelings or thoughts
might be upsetting to you as you sort, toss, and organize. You
might feel anxious or stressed out, or unable to make decisions.
You might not LIKE to face all your clutter.
Sir George Bernard Shaw said, "Never mind likes and dislikes;
they are of no consequences. Just do what must be done. This may
not be happiness, but it is greatness."
What feelings or thoughts start bubbling to the surface when you
attempt to organize? Write them down, or email me.
Would you agree that choosing to be and being organized would
bring a POSITIVE change in your life?
Why not make a choice today towards positive change, and start
taking control of your life? Positive change can be difficult;
sticking to a schedule or routine can be demanding, and you
might find you'll have to "give up something" to obtain your
organizing goals.
Go ahead, challenge yourself and make a new choice today, I dare
you. You must apply and make a special effort to your challenges.
Can you make a special effort to give up for an hour or a day of
watching television, reading, or surfing the Internet to work on
getting control of your life?
What can you give up? Write it down and ask someone to hold you
accountable.
What can you give up for a week or a weekend? Write it down and
ask someone to hold you accountable.
What are YOU willing to do to make a positive change in your
life and your future?
Oh, I can hear you now! I see you
