Well, 2022 certainly didn’t ease on in the back door, did it? 2021 Wasn’t hard enough? Is it time for a little self care?<\/p>\n

I bet you\u2019ve never thought of being organized is way to give yourself more self care, have you? It seems like everywhere you look, see, or hear the buzz work is \u201cbe good to yourself\u2019. I wasn\u2019t always sure what that even looked like, honestly. I have to be honest with you, 2021 was without question the hardest year of my life<\/strong>. Even when I was going through all that our family went through, I had people telling me to \u201ctake care of myself\u201d, and I had no idea how to do<\/em> that<\/em>. Everything I ever thought about taking care of myself went through my fingers. I had no thoughts on how to take care of myself or my family.<\/p>\n

By its very definition, Self-care is all about taking action to protect and promote your mental and physical health and well-being. When you practice self-care you do the things that make you feel good, and therefore are good for you. But, and here\u2019s the thing, it\u2019s not just actions that feel good in the present moment. It\u2019s about creating an environment for yourself that makes it safe. <\/strong><\/em>Self-care is about doing the things that are good for your mental and physical wellbeing \u2013 the things that help you feel calmer, more focused and in control of your life. Especially when the rest of your life seems out of kilt–Covid, Work, family, schedule….Do you feel on auto pilot? Small things to help you feel more in control make a big difference. <\/em><\/p>\n

Disorganization can cause a wide range of feelings from mild irritation to annoyance, anger and resentment, anxiety and overwhelm. Sound familiar? I know I have certainly felt that way many times. On the other hand, when you are organized you feel calmer, more focused, and more in control. You\u2019re more on top of things. You have more breathing space.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Getting organized is one of those things. It doesn’t have to be a huge step. You can start small. Knowing where things are. Knowing what bill is due when. Knowing that in an emergency you could put your hands on important documents. Being organized looks different for everyone. <\/strong>Why? Because my life doesn\u2019t look like yours. It\u2019s not about a race, it\u2019s not about having your house or office Pinterest Ready. There\u2019s no finish line to cross, no awards to win. Nothing that says \u201cI\u2019ve finally done it\u201d. It\u2019s the way you FEEL<\/strong>\u2026..Kathy Wadill, author of The Organizing Sourcebook<\/u> puts it this way:<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are organized when your systems fit your life as you\u2019re living it right now. Your life functions smoothly and efficiently. You can do what you want to do without wasting time or effort.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Is this the year you life more intentionally? Is it time you\u2019re about to to be more purposeful. You know where you are going and you know how to get there. Creating space in your life and environment contributes to well being, a sense of calm, and being in control.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a way to take care of yourself.<\/p>\n

Is this the year you decide to be good to yourself? <\/strong>.<\/p>\n
