Getting Unstuck

Affirmations - Do They Really Work?

Two years ago you couldn't get me to do affirmations to save my soul. The irony is; now I do them all the time to save my soul! And guess what? They do work and, when done purposefully - with heart and consistency, they do wonders.

When I was first introduced to the concept of affirmations I found I couldn't get past having to say something that I knew in my heart wasn't true, much less having to repeat it. I felt like I was lying. To me affirmations ranked right up there with platitudes. "Don't worry, be happy." Right. I'll get right on it.

Get Your Never-Ending Motivation Here

You have to ask yourself a very serious question. "What do I want out of life?" If you could do or have anything, what would it be? Is this something that you've dreamed about for a long time?

Attaining this "ultimate goal", and enjoying it, getting or doing that one thing that you've always wanted, is your answer. This is "The Big Picture". This will give you never-ending motivation to achieve the major things you want in life. This is the answer to those people's question, and to yours.

Always Do the Hardest Thing First

When you procrastinate, you lose. You lose time, energy, self-esteem, goodwill, trust, and timely solutions. Because my mom held firm, I learned that it was best to go ahead and get it over with. Of course you do that a few times and the relief you get will be its own motivation. Instead of that "little" nagging feeling that saps your energy more than you know, you're free to fly!

If someone keeps coming along behind you (or if you're doing this for your child, or report, or partner), the lesson will not be learned. You'll be reinforcing the whining and procrastinating.

Let Yourself Grow A Little

The smartest people take one look at political office and run the other way. Well, that may be smart, but it doesn't do much good when it comes to changing the world. We end up with leaders who have the power and money and ego required to win an election.

Let's Get Packing!

Okay! By now everyone should have all of their moving supplies ready and their packing schedule done. (Yeah, right!) During all this packing there are a few other things that need to be taken care of. Most of these are common sense, but there are actually quite a few I ran across that I hadn't thought of before.

Below, I have another schedule of sorts (I'm really getting into this planning thing!) I have listed a time frame in which to do things, but of course you can change it around to fit your needs.

7 Steps to Make It Happen

Identify it. The southern expression for that is "Name it and Claim it". What do you really want? Be specific. Not, "I want a job that will pay my bills". Instead -- "I want to work as a Store Manager making $XXX per month."

Also try to look past the obvious goal, and connect to the feeling you are really looking for. "I want to be able to feel safe with my money, not just each month but for the future." Sometimes you can let go of a specific goal and find another way to get the same feeling.

Out of Sight, Not Necessarily Out of Mind

When we talk about clutter, we are usually talking about the clutter that we can see: the piles of paper, the messy counter tops, clothes strewn on furniture. Very often, the way we deal with that clutter is to put it inside something: boxes, closets, and drawers. Or we move it to the far corners of our universe: the garage, the attic or the basement.

How to Grow Consistently

Personal growth seems to occur in spurts. We gain a little, lose a little, surge ahead or slide into a holding pattern where in growth seems to be stagnated. Here are ten ways to get back on track.

Getting Things Done

Do you ever wonder how much time you spend thinking about things that need your attention? Then, shrug your shoulders and think some more about it later. In the meantime, nothing gets done. Sometimes the "things" that are put off will only take a few minutes to do; then it's out of the way.

Think of the supper dishes -- if everyone makes an effort to clear the table and get at the dishes, this will only take a few minutes. Think how pleasant it will be in the morning to face a clean and tidy kitchen. What a good way to start your day. You do not have to sort through a pile of dirty dishes for a cup, a plate or a teaspoon or whatever else.

Zen Mind: How to Declutter

Recommended Book from Amazon

101 Feng Shui Tips for Your Home
By
Richard Webster One of the things that gives me most peace is have a clean, simple home. When I wake up in the morning and walk out into a living room that has been decluttered, that has a minimalist look, and there isn't junk lying around, there is a calm and joy that enters my heart.

When, on the other hand, I walk out into a living room cluttered with toys and books and extra things all over the place, it is chaos and my mind is frenetic.

I've been a simplifier and a declutterer for years now (probably 8-9 years) and I've gotten pretty good at it, but I've found that you have to keep coming back to revisit your clutter every once in awhile.

What's On Your Personal Priority List?

What are the three top priorities in your life? The absolute three most important things that you consider the essential business of your life? Ok ... what are the TEN top priorities in your life? Which question do you have the most trouble with? Coming up with ten ... or narrowing things down to only three? Both lists are important, because of course the top three -- will certainly be included on your top ten. But from time to time the top three will change. In fact, from time to time BOTH lists will change. Items get dropped. Items get added. Opportunities -- or crises -- arise ... and things in your world shift to accommodate these.

Dreams change their focus. Goals are achieved -- or abandoned, and become "former goals." Relationships strengthen ... and dissolve. Births and deaths occur. Life is a kaleidoscope -- always intricate and multi-faceted, always in motion, some moments breathtakingly lovely ... others not so much. Yet through it all a set of underlying values guides us ... and helps us make choices. Small choices ... huge decisions. Routine maintenance ... and life-altering alternatives.

Ten Ways to Climb Your Mountain

Daily we are giving mountains of tasks to accomplish, bills to pay, problems to fix and customers to call. Standing at the base looking up this mountain of to-dos seems enormous - or worse yet standing on top looking down the sheer drop we would encounter should we falter. It is sheer madness. How on earth are we going to accomplish this feat? Mountains are big; let us climb this one ....

Break Out of Your Old Routine
Do Yourself, Your Life And
Your Creative Soul a Favor

Take a side trip

Drive a different route to work -- or to run routine errands. See some new territory. Or ... take a random turn. Explore some new neighborhoods. A new shopping center. A different grocery store or bakery. Let intuition and serendipity guide you.

Take a field trip

Plan a few hours of out-of-the-ordinary diversion. Go to a new museum, a theater performance, a new restaurant, a concert. Take a day trip to a little town near yours. Explore its features, stores, shops, eateries ... nooks and crannies. Take your Special Someone along and stay at a romantic little bed and breakfast.

Healthy Summer Projects

This week I was sitting on the phone with tech support, and over and over again, I thought of things I could have done while I sat there -- waiting -- not living my life. Are you "on hold" in your life? Are you waiting for a spouse to come along, or for him/her to act better towards you? Are you waiting on the motivation to get your home organized? Are you waiting on a great job to fall into your lap?

43 Reasons to Deliver Your Content With Lists

Lists don't prioritize, segment, take sides or bias any one item; but rather allow you to simply get it all down on paper. And sometimes that's the hardest part of writing. Because if you don't write it down, it never happened.

Are You Stuck?

Anytime you decide to do something new, you are stepping outside "the cave of the familiar" into unknown territory where you are likely to experience some form of fear. And this sense of discomfort is so strong, you'll do anything to avoid it. Typical tricks include avoidance, delay, or "over-thinking"...

"Over-thinking" is when you continue to think about making a decision, long after you've actually decided! What you're really doing is creating a safe mental environment for yourself. By constantly thinking about something, it becomes familiar, and so you start to feel comfortable around it. The problem with "over-thinking" is that it doesn't move you forward one tiny bit, and only results in wasted time and lost opportunities. Ultimately, a decision is not a decision until it's acted upon. Until that point, it remains a dream.
