Positive organizing

(Originally published 1 May 2012) 

When I think and talk about organizing, I often focus on what I don't wantto lose or forget things, what I want to get rid ofthe clutter, the junk, the messiness, & how I don't want to feelashamed, sloppy, hopeless, frustrated.

Positive language is recommended for affirmations, and I have created a pair of statements around this issue: "I choose how I will live
I choose to live in beauty and order; I choose how I will liveI choose to live in comfort and ease."

I had an insight this morning while shuffling my Mother Peace tarot cards for a reading, and formulating the question I for which I was seeking guidance: I passionately desire to create a beautiful, intentional and supportive environment.

Words have power, and for me, this phrase summarizes essential qualities that were missing from my family home, and for which I yearn. Just as I am more motivated to *increase* strength, flexibility, fitness, health, and well-being than to *lose* weight, *creating* a living space that is beautiful, intentional and supportive is more inspiring than *getting rid* of clutter.

Beltane Blessings, Amanda
