Get Organized from the Inside Out Day 1: Connection


Day 1 Intention:  Connection
Professional organizers suggest that the first step in organizing is to clear the space we plan to organize.  As conscious organizers  it helps to clear the space within and connect with our heart-centered, loving self.  Making a space inside to help us clearly see and feel the possibilities that will show up for us when we have organized our external lives.  This is not about the "how we will realize our goal," but what it will look like when we are there.
One of the ways we crowd our lives, our hearts, mind and space is with the many things we tolerate, i.e., put up with.  Often, what we tolerate drains or distracts us - be they thoughts or the piles in our physical space.  Once we remove these tolerations we make space, feel lighter, and can more easily connect with our values and authentic self.
Conscious Questions-to-Self
  • What am I tolerating?
  • What 1 thing can I do today to begin to address these tolerations?
  • How do I connect with my heart and my authentic self?
Some tips to connect:
  • Slow Down
  • Stay connected with breath (at times taking slow breaths with hand over heart)
  • Be mindful (totally present) with whatever you are doing or thinking
  • Stay connected with your intention
  • Be kind and gentle to Self (this is a journey.  no rush. and no need for perfection)
  • K.I.S.S.(TM) - keep it short and simple or simple and sacred
Affirmation:
I have the power to remove all tolerations (people, thoughts, things...)  from my life

Dedicated to your peace and prosperity,
