The Queen of KAOS @Home

I couldn’t believe my eyes this morning when I woke up and remembered that I had meant to look at my toe yesterday because it was irritating me.

I kept thinking I was going to do it, then got on to something else and never did.

So, when I woke up, it immediately started bugging me again, so I had a peak.

I had a very small piece of stone between my toe, no wonder it was bugging me! And I slept with it, all night!

It immediately made me question how many other “stones I have between my toes” in my life. And how many I’ve been pulling over-nighters with.

I think that if there is one thing that I could point to as the main component of success, it would be to find your focus and do it consistantly. I guess that’s two!

It doesn’t mean that you need to focus on the same thing all day long, you can have various focus points in various areas, but you need to make sure that there aren’t too many, or you won’t be able to devote a consistant time period to them, often enough to see results.

For instance, I have my daily housecleaning circuit that I use to create focus and consistancy in my house, it is the only thing that works for me to keep it presentable.

I have just started using the same concept on my business (finally!) It has enabled me to keep my inbox under control and to stay current on all 3 of my blogs.

We spent some time over the March break getting things in order around here.

Decluttering - a seemingly never ending job - putting things away etc.

When we where finished, I found myself with a sense of peace over the following days, the mere act of walking in a room was calming and just made me feel good.

It occured to me that I needed to take notice of this feeling, absorb it and be sure to notice it, and my surroundings if I wanted to stay motivated to keep it that way.

All too often things get really nice, only to fall back after a busy spell, a time of illness or any number of road blocks. But if we can fully ingrain the good stuff, feel it so fully that it feels off every time we waver away from it, we will find ourselves doing what it takes, taking that extra step, even when we don’t feel like it, to keep things at the “new normal”. It becomes far too precious to us to loose.
