How to feel organized enough for your lifestyle
Organization is a state of mind. It’s based on your perspective about what order looks like and feels like, to you. I always tell my clients, your goal is to be “organized enough.” Now, for some people [Client A] they want to be extremely organized, sub-categorized and labeled to the pristine level of looking like a […]
Does your Routine need a ReBoot?
We are always experiencing life transitions and there can be a sense of restlessness as we struggle to re-establish a routine and schedule that fits best for our life stage and situation. Life transitions are often times determined by uncontrollable events, such as going back to school, a birth, a death, or simply the changing of […]
But my mother-in-law gave it to me
“I can’t get rid of it because my mother-in-law gave it to me.” Eeek. Anyone ever said that? or “My dad brought it back for me from Greece, but I’m not really sure what it is.” These statements represent the guilt that holds us back from letting go. Bottom-line is the tough love statement: you can’t […]
No Resolutions in 2016
So what’s next? That’s the question I keep asking myself, with no clear answer coming to mind. But to really know what’s next in 2016, it seems natural to reflect on ‘what was’ in 2015. Well, it was definitely a year of highs and lows…to name a few… I experienced new emotions while saying good-bye to my precious mother, who is […]
To those who feel unappreciated at home
Do you ever feel like your efforts at home go unnoticed? That they are taken for granted? We all have our roles at home for accomplishing household duties. Some families sit down and distinguish them, even having a chart to keep people accountable. In other families, the roles are assumed by default. What’s your role? […]
For those who have no garden weeds
Weeds. The annoying green foliage that grows throughout your beautiful flowers and tomato plants. The foliage that we prepare to stifle even before it has the chance to germinate. The foliage that isn’t wanted, yet somehow still appears. I’ve spent hours this summer pulling weeds, and they seem to multiply faster than I can pull. […]
Is mental clutter getting in my way?
We all have a general understanding of physical clutter – you feel like your junk is everywhere and not put away. You feel disorganized and it’s a challenge to be productive. Well the same can be said for mental clutter, though most of us don’t look at our minds as being able to have clutter. […]
Polishing Mirrors to Improve your Reflection
I was startled awake last night to the sound of glass breaking. I jumped out of bed thinking someone had broken in when I walked into my bathroom and found that a full length mirror had fallen and shattered on the floor. (thankfully no robbers in the house!). It was a mirror that I’d had […]
How to move forward. Now is the time.
Sometimes I feel anxious. I hate the feeling that manifests deep in my gut and somehow is able to have power over all of my thoughts and spill into my attitude and ambition. Sometimes I just don’t know how to fight the feeling, especially when I feel stuck in one place and don’t know where to […]
How to Stop Creating so much Clutter
What is clutter anyway? It seems to be such a buzz-word these days. Most people would probably describe it as the junk we have laying around, the piles of paper on the counters, the knick-knacks we collect, a messy desk, etc. I was only able to wrap my mind around the concept of clutter once […]
