Day Four: Joyfully Organized - Everything I Need

Each day from December 7th through the day of the Joyfully Organized Teleclass - January 7th - I will be posting each day about something that made me happy, joyful, smile or laugh - you get the idea.

Check out the lyrics in this song ".....I've got everything I need and nothing that I don't.......It's the weight that you carry from the things you think you want.......I've got everything I need and nothing that I don't."  WOW!  

As an organizer I was just blown away.  I think this should be the anthem for the organizing industry!






Enjoy the video.  Especially during this season of excess.  I hope you have everything you need - and nothing that you don't.

I have been feeling the need to reduce the amount of "things" I own for the past few years now.  It is paying off!  I'm really excited to report that I have fewer clothes, shoes, books, DVD's, paper, dishes and so much more (or less.)  I'm loving not having to take care of all of the extra stuff I had.

What made you joyful today?

In Joy,


Wendy

You know what? The moment I embraced who I was becoming, is the moment that everythi

Can you see your future?

I was coaching my client, Carolyn today.   She was stuck in a mindset of only seeing her present circumstances or even worse - the past.  She wasn't seeing her future .  Turns out, she never thought about it.   I asked her - W hat it would mean for your life once the paper piles are gone?  What it would mean for your life once the necessary repairs were made to the kitchen and bathroom?  What it would mean for your life once the dread, shame and weight off your shoulders was lifted?  She kept going back to how her home looked right now and the struggles she was faced.  She wasn't seeing her future.  But I was.  Carolyn is so close to having her home decluttered.  But she was still living in the past. I told her that I had a challenge for her.  I asked Carolyn if she would close her eyes and visualize what her home will look like when it is decluttered, when she can find what she needs and when the overwhelming tension has been lifted from her shoulders.  I heard a deep
