This month O magazine published
an article called “Tis the Season to De-Clutter –An Easy Holiday Plan”. That’s
much easier said than done. Most people will admit that de-cluttering is a
challenge. I have the opposite problem. I throw away everything then spend days
searching for it until I am reminded that I discarded it months ago. I don’t
know which is worst but this is the season to release. De-clutter your physical and mental spaces.
When you pull out the sweaters, jackets and other winter garments, get rid of anything you haven't worn in the past 2
years. Stop telling yourself you will wear
it because you won’t. Let them go and make
room for a new sweater and other gifts to come into your life. On the other hand, don't put away anything that you haven't used or worn for the past two seasons. It's highly unlikely that the third time will be a charm. Take control. Use ten minutes of each day to get started. Likewise, it’s important that your mental "storehouse" is de-cluttered as well to take advantage of the opportunities a new season brings. Get rid of “stinkin thinkin”. Let go of I can’t and add I will. Feed your brain healthy thoughts to silence the negative noise. Don’t worry about what can go wrong - get excited about what can go right.
Here are two things to remember
if you get stuck in the process:
- You can do ANYTHING but not everything! Take on only what you can manage.
- Someday is NOT a day of the week! Set a date and make the time to accomplish tasks. Don’t leave it up to chance.
Free yourself! ‘Tis the season to de-clutter. Something new is waiting for you!
