Positive organizing
(Originally published 1 May 2012)
When I think and talk about organizing, I often
focus on what I don't want—to lose or forget things, what I want to get rid
of—the clutter, the junk, the messiness, & how I don't want to
feel—ashamed, 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 live—I 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
