No Time
I was doing a massive clearing of a closet I have in my office that had become one of those places that you avoid because it is so overwhelming, but you know that once you get it finished that it will be a major stepping stone to making life easier and more efficient.
I was feeling extremely stressed.
After examining my feelings for a few minutes, an extremely handy thing to do if you find yourself feeling stressed – many times we just roll with it and don’t take the time, but if you can pinpoint where it is coming from beyond the surface symptom – many times that will be a major step to removing it from your life.
In my case I made a huge discovery that will indeed help me to remove a major stressor.
Doing the 3 Step
If you find yourself with a little time on your hands or feeling disoriented but would like to move ahead today, here’s what you can do – do the 3 step!
It’s simple.
Decide on 3 things you’d like to do – probably the first three that pop into your head – they will be the things that are likely nagging you the most.
Write them down.
Put a time limit beside each one.
Set your timer for the first item on your list.
Go!
Empty Space is Good Feng Shui
You know how I’m always yackin’ on about the power of clear spaces?
Well here’s a great article courtesy of Kathryn Weber, the publisher of the Red Lotus Letter Feng Shui E-zine on how to get what you want in life by… drumroll please… creating space for it.
How to get what you want in life by creating space for it
In today’s shopaholic world, we have a tendency to hang on to too much stuff. Our homes and offices are jammed with equipment, clothing, papers, and all those bargains we haul home from the mall.
The problem, though, everyone says, is the clutter. Actually, the real problem is not the stuff, it’s the lack of space.
When we don’t have space, there’s nowhere to grow and no room for anything new.
Instead, we experience more stuffing and filling versus positive, beneficial growth.
Time Is a Gift
Just a quick note as I know you’ve heard it a thousand times before.
I notice now that I work away from home how much I appreciate my time at home.
When I’m feeling stressed from not having enough time, I stop and remember that anything I do over the next few hours is a gift - bonus time.
If you have your health and love in any form in your life, you are rich beyond measure.
What To Do On Family Day – 11 Ideas
Wondering what to do on Family day?
Since it’s Family Day here in Canada today I thought I’d post an idea or two.
1. Dance! Kids and Moms (and even some Dads!) love to dance. Put on your favourite tunes and have an imprompto dance party.
2. Bake something together. My kids usually like this because it means that they are getting something good to eat.
You can make it even more fun by dancing while you bake!
Just be careful not to burn yourself or drop anything.
Question of the Day…Functional or Disfunctional?
I found myself with a slight feeling of uneasiness going into the 3rd day of a 3 day weekend.
I kept asking myself why. I had been quite focused and using my planner sheets.
This usually creates a feeling of being on track and a ‘strange euphoria’ for me.
What was nagging me?
New Year… Great Things…
