I’m excited for my new resolution. I’ve struggled with wanting to improve several areas of my life, but not knowing how to do that without getting overwhelmed. I found an article ” Understanding Anxiety from a Different Perspective: Treat anxiety from a lifestyle approach”.
It linked all of my goals into one theme—fitness, hobbies, cleaning, family, and stress. It gave a purpose and a reason behind them. It also keeps me from obsessing to much about any one area.
I think this is particularly meaning full for my cleaning and organizing goals. I wanted to have a clean and organized house. I’ve envied other people that could do it seemingly effortlessly. It had always seemed like something I had to do and should do and added to my stress and anxiety.
We are currently in the middle of a kitchen remodel. I am actually enjoying organizing and gradually moving from a state of construction chaos to an organized home. I’m seeing how the mess is affecting my mental health when I can’t find what I need, lost something, or see clutter sneak back into something I just cleaned.
Hopefully I can continue this energy as I approach the year. Make meaningful changes without getting to frustrated with my progress or loose momentum. Here’s to waking up this website and a clean and organized 2018.
In Pursuit of an Organized Life
