you are what you think

Have you ever heard the saying, "you are what you eat"? This cliche saying actually has some relevance in our everyday lives...if you eat junk food, you might feel sick or tired, but if you eat healthy foods, you will most likely feel better and have a positive attitude about your food.

The same concept can be applied to your thoughts; more specifically, your thoughts about clutter and disorganization. If you constantly think negatively about your clutter and tell yourself that you will never be able to fully eliminate you clutter...you probably won't! However, if you think positive thoughts and say, "I am organized...I can do this and get my clutter under control" you will most likely do just that!

As you look around your house, your office or even reflect on your life, think about what you want to organize. Maybe it's your childrens' play room, your desk drawers or your weekly planner; whatever it may be, tell yourself that you can and will get that space organized. Set small goals and make a point to meet those goals. Keep thinking positive thoughts and tell yourself that you will achieve your organizational goals and clear your clutter.

You will be surprised at the effect positive thinking will have on your daily life. Once you starting thinking you can so something...it will probably get done. Try it for a couple days, a week, or even a month and let me know how it affected you.
