with your own justifications. Start quantifying your days
by how many healthy, positive things you accomplished,
and you will see how quickly you begin to make progress.
DISORGANIZATION
By leaving our lives and spaces in disarray, we are not just
mindlessly forgetting to take care of our surroundings.
We are often actually creating distractions and chaos that
serve an unconscious purpose.
A clean, organized space—both for work and for living—
is essential to thriving. This means a tidy home, clothes
that are easy to reach and put together each morning, a
clean kitchen, and an organized desk. Paperwork should
be filed in one space, your bedroom should be calming,
and everything should have a “home” that it can return to
at the end of the day.
Without cleanliness, we create fewer opportunities for
ourselves. Nothing positive, nor beautiful, flows from
chaos. Deep down, we know this. Often, when we are
self-sabotaging through disorganization, it is because
when we are very clean or organized, we get an uneasy
feeling. That uneasy feeling is what we are trying to avoid,
because it is the recognition that now that everything is in
order, we must get to work on doing what we need to do
or who we want to become.
