Tic – Toc
Did the clock break?
Tic-Toc
A couple of months ago I wrote this post: Tic-Toc
And guess what?
NOTHING has been done in the direction of fulfilling what needed to be done. Nothing.
I have cleaned and straightened and halfway organized and de-cluttered a couple of closets, but nothing 100%.
So, what brought this to my attention?
Well, in my sickened state last night, I was searching for something in my kitchen and couldn’t find it – it didn't matter that I couldn’t remember what it was or that I was standing in front of my cabinets with the doors wide open staring and hoping that whatever it was that I was looking for would pop up and say “hey, I’m over here!” – because the fact remained that I haven’t acted upon my previous post.
How am I supposed to finish my classes and become a Life Coach if I can’t even organize the things in my life that need organization?! How can I tell someone else to do something that I HAVEN’T even started doing myself?
Well, I can. I Will. Because I have started!
Instead of wasting any more time last night looking for something that apparently didn’t exist, I. Started.
So, go ahead and ask me if I got all of my cabinets de-cluttered and organized last night in my kitchen……go ahead…..
Hell no! Are you crazy? I am sick and heavily medicated!
BUT!!!!! I did start with one cabinet.
It’s like taking the first step into a gym or setting that first Building Block on the foundation of your greatest possibilities. It was ACTION toward my goal which = progress.
I opened what I thought would be the easiest cabinet to clean out and stood there staring at all the CRAP that had been piled into it. How in the holy hell did this get like this?
It wasn’t me!!!!!
Okay, maybe I enabled or added or stored stuff there for convenience – I don’t really remember. Lol.
But now it is cleaned and organized forever more! I pledge to not ever stick anything else that doesn’t belong in that cabinet – in there! Mmmkay?!
It is not about just having clean, de-cluttered cabinets. It is about organizing my life and reviving the energy flow of my house. One cabinet is not a huge gesture – but IT IS.
One cabinet for me is like one of my future clients taking their first steps on a treadmill after years of being sedentary. It doesn’t matter how long it took for you or I to realize that it was time, because we DID realize that it was time for the change and we both took our first step.
That. IS. Huge!
I will be posting on this blog at least once a week, some cabinet or closet that I have cleaned and de-cluttered – maybe more. My point today is this: last night I took the first step toward one of my goals by getting out of my own way (sickness excuse and all) and just did it!
And that my friends, is a direct action toward achieving my New Year’s Resolution!
Happy dance!
