I have a confession to make: I love clutter clearing.
There’s something about the act of freeing my physical and mental space of extra stuff that gives me a feeling of … lightness, freedom and joy. When I let go of things from my physical and emotional space, it’s like a weight has been lifted off of me.
Do you ever find yourself focusing on the negative traits of the people around you?
For instance, say your spouse or friend did a hundred awesome things for you last week, yet you’re focused on that one little mistake.
As I approach a day that departs from my normal routine, its tempting to fall into a trap of worry and negative thinking.
I wonder how everything could possibly work out.
New Year’s resolutions.
Less than half keep them past 6 months.
It isn’t because people are lazy.
Or want to fail.
On the contrary; most people fail at resolutions and goal setting because they simply don’t know the secrets for success.
This is a gift-giving time of year for many people.
When was the last time you gave yourself a compliment?
Are you aware of your special gifts; your beauty, your talents and your unique contributions to society?
Have you ever found yourself saying, “There’s so much to do. I’ll never get it all done”?
If you’re not careful, these words may become a mantra. Especially around the holidays.
Have you ever wanted something so badly you tried to force it to happen?
How did that work out for you?
Have you lost someone close to you?
It isn’t something I like thinking about. But sometimes it hits me square in the face.
Sometimes I wake up afraid of the day.
Sometimes I think it would be easier to pull the covers over my head and go back to sleep than wake up and face the day.
