I will admit, I love to organize. I love planners, drawer dividers and purse compartments. Anything that helps me move freely and quickly through life attracts me. With all the “stuff” out there to live better lives, I still think the best tool is between your ears.
These are five ways I get mentally organized:
1. I prune. I do. I get rid of old things, unloving relationships and bad hair after thoughtful consideration and honest efforts. Anything in my life that does not add value, is a space sucker (mentally, emotionally and physically). Cut the fat and build the muscle.
2. I avoid judging. Judging is a huge waste of time. I know, as a kid I was quite self-righteous. As an adult, to judge is to claim superiority over another. We are all worthy beings and unique expressions of life. To judge another is an act of unconsciously judging ourselves – we are just projecting it on to another. Once we love and accept ourselves, it feels weird to judge another…we just experience them as they are.
3. I decide. Not a fan of thinking negative things about a person or situation, I go the route of honor. I don’t ask if this situation or person is “good” or “bad”, I ask myself, “Does this honor me”? And if it does not, I stop engaging. I like things simple.
Get organized.
