Great acts of self-kindness

February 6, 2019 by Heather Filed Under: Inspiration & Education, Wellness & Mindset 1 Comment

Kindness towards others should be secondary only to Self-Kindness.

Acts of self-kindness directly impact our wellness and once we are kind to ourselves other acts of kindness will follow.

Being honest and facing our own fears can be one of the highest acts of kindness towards ourselves. What other actions define self-kindness for you? Lately, I’ve been cultivating the art of boredom and this is an act of self kindness for me because I don’t usually allow myself time to “be lazy” or JUST BE. It is freeing, to sit in a chair or lay on the ground and daydream, just watch the birds, observing the world as it “passes by”! But it’s not really passing, I’m just playing an observer role, which removes me from having to judge, think, solve problems, or change anything…I just get to be and that is one of the greatest acts of self-kindness

Kindness is loving people more than they deserve.-Joseph Joubert

When we feel love and kindness toward others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace.- Dalai Lama

The point is not to pay back kindness but to pass it on.– Julia Alvarez

You’ve probably noticed that I love quotes, I collect them and I’ve found so many great quotes about KINDNESS. Makes you wonder what so many great writers, philosophers and spiritual leaders know, it must be something important this thing called kindness.

Many a movie and catch phrase have been coined around the idea that Kindness counts, and Paying It Forward and I think people sometimes become jaded and just think these phrases are cliche. Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about what kindness and happiness mean to the world and how they are different from culture to culture.

Perhaps some feel pursuing happiness or random acts of kindness don’t really mean anything or make any difference to world. Our definitions of kindness don’t have to be in lock step for us to agree that kindness counts, however you define it. If you question your own honest definition of kindness, I love how Brooke Castillo breaks it down and asks us to be courageous in our kindness, not to take it lightly or sugar coat it!

Kindness can sometimes be a hard choice to make! But never forget, it is always our choice to be kind.

Haven’t you ever had a really crappy day and someone just gave you the most genuine smile, held a door for you or gave you a small compliment that really changed your attitude for a moment or even for the rest of the day?

We have all experienced the power of kindness to uplift us and make us feel happier.

I hope you will consider how your kind actions effects your overall wellness and that of others.

What is one of your latest random acts of self-kindness?

Toiletry Toss & Tidy Up

January 28, 2019 by Heather Filed Under: Organize, Systems & Techniques, Tips & Resources 1 Comment

Take a little time to know what’s going on your skin and your whole body will thank you (our skin is our largest organ)! Follow these guidelines for an easy and quick bathroom tidy! By getting rid of what’s unhealthy, funky, old or expired.

Our bathrooms are essential to our wellness but we have to do a routine Toiletry Toss to be sure we are taking the best care of ourselves.

Better keep yourself clean and bright; you are the window through which you must see the world. -George Bernard Shaw

Estimated organizing time: 30-45 min’s.

Toss the toiletries. Open the medicine cabinets, closets or any cabinets you store your bathroom products and toss expired and funky unhealthy stuff. Follow these guidelines to know what to toss and why.
- Make-up-I really like this guide by Bobbi Brown, if your on Pinterest…Pin it and refer back as needed!
- Sunscreen and lotions with sunscreen-one -two years
- Perfume and essential oils-three years (store in cool dark places-not the bathroom!).
- Look for expiration dates (usually printed on the crimped ends of tubes). Better yet, mark it yourself with a permanent marker with the date of your purchase.
- Download the Think Dirty app to find cosmetics and toiletries that are carcinogenic. I guarantee you will be shocked!
Medication Mindfulness. Toss old medications but don’t flush them down the drain. This pollutes our waterways and bodies. Use safe disposal options such as returning to pharmacists (some will take them back) or dispose of them. Place medication in a small bag with coffee grounds, kitty litter or dirt so that critters and kids are less enticed. Remove any personal info before recycling or disposal.

Go ahead and dump it all out!

Clean off the crud. While everything is moved out and off the counters give them a sanitizing wipe down. I prefer non-toxic natural products. Move things out from the walls and wipe items down including the back splash. Finish cleaning up with walls and switch plates, cabinets, drawers and handles.

Bathroom Drawer-Before

Bathroom Drawer-After

Group like items. Corral the contents of your cabinets by person and category like skin, hair, first aid, oral hygiene, makeup etc. Then, if you have enough space, designate shelves, drawers, cabinets or containers (use color coding and labels!) to each household member. Store things standing up if your drawers are deep enough. There are so many great container options to organize drawers and medicine cabinets. There are great options on any budget from boxes you can recycle to inexpensive plastic baskets to fully customized acrylic drawer inserts.
Maintain-Put it away-Daily. Estimated Daily Maintenance time:Take 3-8- min’s to put things on your counters and floor away and give the counter a quick wipe. Do this every day (either in the am when you are done getting ready or before bed) you will always walk into your bathroom with a sense of wellness. Doesn’t your bathroom feel better now! Help your kids and your spouse do their own toiletry toss once you complete your own.

Creating Intentional SPACE

January 22, 2019 by Heather Filed Under: Organizing Projects, Paper management, Systems & Techniques 1 Comment

Creating Intentional SPACE is something that most Professional Organizers do regularly with their clients. Many of us use the SPACE system or something similar when helping clients with the organizing process. This system and the acronym was created by Professional Organizer and Author Julie Morgenstern and it’s a tried and true system that I follow with all my client organizing projects. I’m happy to share how what the acronym stands for below because I find it can be useful in understanding the steps and process that can help lead to a more organized and intentional SPACE.

Sort-This begins by gathering everything in one category together. By doing this you know what ALL you have and can move on to the next step.

Purge-Only when you know what you have can you start to make decisions about what to keep. Purging is really DECIDING what is needed or if you can get rid of it (donate, recycle, trash).

Assign-Now that you have decided what to keep, give it a home.

Contain-You know what you’ve got and where it will live, what would make keeping things in order easier? Do you need containers? Take measurements, make labels…commit these items to live in this space.

Equalize-What this really means is Evaluate…after living with your newly organized system, take the time after a week, a month and beyond to make adjustments as needed. This means setting an intention to maintain the system (and from time to time going back through the SPACE process).

Before you even begin this process, I believe it’s equally important and valuable to set your intention (my WORD for 2019) or reason/goal for the space! Most of us have heard the statement: nature abhors a vacuum (horror vacui) by Greek physicist-philosopher Parmenides that a void or vacuum, in nature, cannot exist, so be careful what you create, or what you leave open…which can quickly get filled with clutter (in your mind and your physical space).

Once you decide, set your intention and go through the SPACE process of implementing this system, use it to support your effort to succeed in maintaining as well! Organizing isn’t a one and done process but it is a Process that’s worth investing in and worth maintaining. How’s your SPACE? Will it be filled by something of your choosing or with clutter? Need help going through this process? Please fill out the “Help me Get Organized” form.

Your clutter action plan

January 17, 2019 by Heather Filed Under: Organize, Paper management, Systems & Techniques, Tips & Resources

What areas of Clutter overwhelm you? It’s important to identify where you get stuck and understand why. This clutter action plan will help you establish order and bring clutter under control. If you’re not clear on this, check out my post on the muddy water metaphor to help you identify with the feelings behind your clutter…then hop back over here or jump in now!

Start with the least cluttered category. Whatever category on your list above feels easiest – small stuff or big stuff (clear a big space)-start easy! By starting with easier items we gain compelling momentum! You will move on to bigger challenges once you’ve made progress in easier areas.

Decide before you begin. Start with a category of items (my preference), ex. all books, all kids clothes, all papers, all kitchen stuff or work by location (one closet at a time etc). There are advantages to each. When working by category you need to gather everything in one place and when working by location you may have to go back to locate things that belong in other categories. Decide before you begin.

Schedule it. Block out distractions and give yourself a deadline (a day a week etc). Set aside the time you think this will take. Estimate it and give yourself a bit of extra but set a limit. If appropriate, schedule a donation pick up, this will motivate you to get it done by the time they come for the pick up!
Gather supplies. Such as bags, boxes, sorters, a label maker/labels, rubber bands, paperclips, a shredder etc and make sure these items are handy if not right by your side).
Create a work zone. This will serve for the duration of your clutter clearing project. Ideally you can leave things (supplies, unsorted stuff, donation stuff) in this location till you are done! Even better if you can close the door on them between sessions if you can’t complete everything at once (a day, a weekend etc).
Make it fun! Put on some great music, light a candle, some incense…whatever will put you in a happy place.
Sort it. Start with trash, toss items if they are broken, don’t bring joy or are otherwise not functional. Make a maybe pile if you aren’t sure. Start with what’s easiest, if you think it’s useful but don’t need it, donate it to your charity of choice! It helps to know your things will be loved and used by others-share your abundance!
Categorize it. (seasonal, where you use it, how often etc). This is where you begin to see your organizing systems emerge. What do you need based on what you have?
Contain it. If you can’t do this all at once the create an area to work through un-categorized items until you’ve finished every last item. It can help to work through one category at a time. Don’t stop till you’ve returned things to their homes (old or new), tossed the trash and donations are out the door.
Reward yourself and Repeat. For each category or location take the steps above to complete the action plan and reward yourself with something small (flowers, a meal out etc).

When you have cleared all of your clutter, you can be of greater service to those around you.

Intuitive Planning

January 13, 2019 by Heather Filed Under: Inspiration & Education, Planning & Goals, Productivity, Wellness & Mindset Leave a Comment

Welcome to 2019! I’m excited about what this year is inviting us to discover! I’d like to share a bit more about my Intuitive Planning process and Word for the year!

There’s always in exciting sense of possibility at the beginning of a new year. I think a lot of it has to do with our collective conscience. So many people with big ideas, plans, resolutions and goals to do new things, accomplish BIG dreams and it all seems do-able with so many days ahead, Right? I also know there can be a bit of a mind trap here because we often bite off more than we can chew. I’ve learned to dial it back over the years and break my goals down further before I decide WHEN I think they need to happen. My planning process now allows me to meander a bit more along the way, leaving room for surprises, changes in direction, spontaneity and failures. None of us want to fail but if we are going to fail, do it quickly my friend and move forward.

What good is a destination without the Journey?
We never begin something with the INTENTION of failure, but if we don’t plan for our journey, then failure might be inevitable…or maybe we will discover something entirely different on the path and that is certainly a different way of living than many of us are taught. We are taught that we need to control, set goals, budgets, plan our days, years, months and before we know it our lifetime is spent in the GRIP of what we think we need to do to be happy!

What if there was another way we could trust and let go just a little bit? For those of us who have a deep need to maintain control (raises hand:), color inside the lines and do the “Right Thing” it can be terrifying to begin to let go. Having a word of the year is a practice I started about 6 years ago and I alway discover that you can’t PLAN for what that word will teach you on the journey.

Last year my word was Fearless and I learned a lot about what it really means to live fearlessly…I embarked on the year thinking it would lead me to grand adventurous gestures. That was not the case. I discovered that being fearless means getting out of my head, into my heart, trusting myself, trusting my body, trusting my Intuition! Which is exactly what I PLAN to do for 2019. I arrived at the word Intuition for this year because of my journey last year and my the discoveries along the way.

ENOUGH about me…Do you choose a word for the year or have any resolutions? How do you Plan for the year? Do you start with a vision, an Intention or resolutions? I also use the process of creating a Vision Board and am offering a workshop to Envision Your Year on January 28th, click here to learn more and register!

Do you break your planning down into bite size pieces by area of your life? Do you plan your year out on your calendar? I’d love to hear more about your planning process…leave a comment below and tell me more!

What are Clutter Magnets?

January 8, 2019 by Heather Filed Under: Organize, Systems & Techniques

What are clutter magnets? They are those spots that tend to accumulate clutter no matter what you seem to do to change them! Maybe they look something like this?

WHERE::Let’s identify some possible areas that might be clutter magnets in your home.

By the front door, on a table or bench, anywhere in the “Drop zone”.
Kitchen or Dining Room tables, any vertical surface is in danger of becoming a clutter magnet and tables, no matter how we try to keep them cleaned off always attract stuff.
Kitchen counters, especially if you have an entrance near by.
Bags! Sweep it into the bag, never to be seen again!
Your Car? The kids extra toys, clothes, trash and more…
Desktops, some stuff should land here just make sure you are constantly addressing it.

WHAT::This is the stuff that tends to accumulate in the Clutter Magnet zones. Could be just about anything but here are some commonly “magnetic” items.

Keys/keychains
Mail
Wallets
Backpacks
Purses
Umbrellas
Clothes/accessories
Sports equipment/toys
Books
Lunch bags, water bottles and other snack/food items
Projects (paperwork, hobbies, homework etc)

WHY::Can we be honest about why these zones are like this?

Laziness, put stuff back where it belongs! (I’m not judging…I’m just saying!)
Homeless stuff, if you don’t know where to put it then it will land just about anywhere.
Bad habits, these can be changed.
Too busy-this really isn’t an excuse if you have created solutions for your stuff-take the right action (see Laziness:).

HOW::Can we change this behavior?

Turn these clutter magnets into clutter free zones!
Identify what lands in your clutter magnet and decide where everything belongs.
Create homes for the homeless stuff.
Use hooks for keys, bags (purses, backpacks etc)
Shelves for electronics, wallets and other “pocket contents”.
Baskets or boxes for mail… better yet drop what you don’t need right into recycling and take the rest to your desk “action” file or inbox.

I”m not going to lie, this may not be easy but you can change this habit by paying attention to where, what and why. Then implement a plan and practice, practice, practice until it becomes a new habit.

Is your clutter overwhelming you?

January 1, 2019 by Heather Filed Under: Organize, Paper management, Systems & Techniques, Tips & Resources

As much as we all might like to live a totally clutter free life it may not be entirely possible. If your is Clutter Overwhelming you, taking a look at what clutter categories are in our lives can help us understand what triggers our overwhelm.

**clut·ter verb ˈklə-tər**

intransitive verb

: to run in disorder

transitive verb

: to fill or cover with scattered or disordered things that impede movement or reduce effectiveness

There are many kinds of clutter in our lives. Take a moment to evaluate each category and decide where you can reduce clutter. Know that it might get worse before it gets better...all that dirt that may emerge by way of emotions and literal mess might not be pretty! Hang in there and you will be rewarded if you are can be open to the process. As your thinking about each of these categories, imagine them as you want them to be-intentions are powerful!

Mail-incoming and outgoing (try reducing it by removing subscriptions to magazines, junk mail and catalogs).
Kids-school bags, sports equipment, books, toys, clothes etc…get your kids involved and create a place for easy pick up and storage of transient items.
Office-paperwork, files, receipts, mail etc. Create one designated area and consider using a type of action or tickler filing system to corral it all.
Digital-photos (delete the impulse pictures that don’t turn out well and you would never print!), email (removed yourself from subscriptions and consider creating multiple email addresses for different purposes), digital computer files (create a file hierarchy similar to your paper file system).
Household-things that you have sitting around but don’t love (rotate displays or give items away to friends and charity with no strings attached).
Mental-those endless thoughts that run in circles in your mind, find a way to tame them by taking notes, writing in a journal and releasing them if the are out of your control!

As much as we all might like to live a totally clutter free that’s probably not realistic. Understanding our limitations and having realistic expectations can help us decide where to start. Once you’ve evaluated the clutter areas in your life, prioritize them from worst to best and get ready for action.

“Clutter is a physical manifestation of fear that cripples our ability to grow.” ~H.G. Chissell

There are so many kinds of clutter in our lives. Take a moment to think about each category and evaluate which areas trigger your overwhelm.

Mail-incoming and outgoing (try reducing it by removing subscriptions to magazines, junk mail and catalogs)
Kids-school bags, sports equipment, books, toys, clothes etc…get your kids involved and create a place for easy pick up and storage of transient items
Office-paperwork, files, receipts, mail etc. Create 1 designated area and consider using a type of action or tickler filing system to corral it all
Digital-photos (delete the impulse pic’s that don’t turn out well and you would never print!), email (removed yourself from subscriptions and consider creating multiple email addresses for different purposes), digital computer files (create a file hierarchy similar to your paper file system)

17 Sanity Saving Holiday Organizing Tips

December 4, 2018 by Heather Filed Under: Inspiration & Education, Organize, Wellness & Mindset Leave a Comment

Each of these seventeen holiday organizing tips will will help get you through the season with a bit more sanity & JOY!

After receiving new holiday gifts, donate used items you no longer need to charity (One in One out Rule).
Ditch the photo holiday cards…hate to say it but they end up in the trash (recycled hopeful) and people can see you more frequently via social media. How about a digital holiday card?
As you pull holiday items out, donate old ornaments and out of date holiday decorations.
Begin memento boxes for your kids holiday traditions, keep these separate so they can be given to your older kids when they leave home.
Clean out your attic, garage or basement space before you return your holiday decoration bins (vacuum, wipe down shelves if needed etc).
Have a Grab-A-Gift bag or bin with an assortment of “anyone” appropriate gifts (for last min hostess or holiday gift exchange items).
Clean out your spices, as your cooking and baking toss the old and make note of anything needed (put date of purchase on bottom in ink).
Spruce up your kitchen: spend 10-30 min’s a day tackling an appliance or area (fridge, stove, toaster, sink etc). You’ll feel healthier & I bet you’ll eat healthier! See my kitchen organizing post here.
Get your gift & wrap organized:use a gift tracking list & invest or DIY a great wrapping station—see Pinterest for ideas.
Don’t over book your holiday calendar. If you’ve been invited to a million parties and events, say no to a few and leave yourself some evening’s at home, either alone or with your family and just relax!
Schedule a date with your honey or yourself for a little holiday pampering. Dinner and a movie, a bubble bath and champagne, your pick but keep it easy and fun.
Plan for the next year! Get a planner or calendar to start mapping out large events such as vacation and business travel, important family occasions and setting personal and professional goals for at least the first 1-2 quarters of the year.
Create a vision board to really see what it is you want to create…it’s a beautiful thing!
Pick a Word of the Year-AKA-#WOTY
Take a thorough home inventory this year-don’t wait for a disaster! Join me for a virtual workshop in early February: “Home Inventory without Heartache”, more information coming soon. Subscribe to my mailing list or “like” my Facebook or Instagram for more frequent tips and inspiration!
Keep your body moving, do a little dance, hit the gym, take a walk…whatever your thing is, this is a great way to get out of your head and feel your way through the season.
Finally and most importantly, take time to Celebrate what is truly Sacred to you this season. Is that a tradition, time with family, a treat that you honor yourself with? Whatever it is this is the best season to celebrate the sacred!

7 Simple Steps to your Cleanest Kitchen

November 14, 2018 by Heather Filed Under: Organize, Organizing Projects, Systems & Techniques

Don’t you want to start the holiday season-spring or school year with your cleanest kitchen?

This time of year is a great time to deep clean the kitchen and fridge, especially after summer trips to the farmers market and before all your holiday cooking, baking and entertaining…when everyone lands in the kitchen, right?! BUT, if your reading this is the Spring or before Back to School…any time is a good time to take a deep dive for your cleanest kitchen. I recommend it at least a couple times a year.

Kitchen Deep Clean in 7 easy steps

Re-arrange as needed for things that might not be working well in their current spots-I just moved appliance I don’t need further out of the way and made baking items more accessible over the weekend.
Purge– including out of date food (toss), things you don’t like (give away) things like plastic ups, containers-missing lids (recycle) and cozies that somehow made their way home from summer festivities. No thank you Freebies!
Tidy and sort food and other items by category. Add containers to corral and labels to identify items as needed. Post purge is the best time to do this!
Give everything a sanitizing wipe down including the cabinets, switch plates, counters-moving everything out from the walls and wiping the backsplash.
Clean out appliances such as the microwave, oven, toaster and make note of anything broken or missing that I might want to add to a wish list.
Take a quick look through the pantry and make a list of staple items needed for upcoming baking and cooking (sugar, flour, chocolate chips, spices, herbs etc), this way you can be spontaneous when the urge to get creative in the kitchen strikes!
Finally, the Fridge! Remove and wipe or rinse everything including contents, the shelves, and drawers. Toss expired food. If you can, remove the “parts”, clean with your favorite kitchen cleaner and scrub the crevices with an old toothbrush and baking soda. Repeat the process for the freezer, defrosting according to your manufacturer instructions if needed. If you have a water filter built in, it’s a great time to check and replace that too.

You can take each step above and break it down over a weekend or a whole week (7 steps-7 days!) depending on how much time you have. As I do this, I pull things out and try to use up leftovers (especially in the freezer) to make room for all the great new food I’ll be preparing and eating over the holiday season.

If you ever question keeping or tossing, HERE is a great list of food expiration etc. follows. Safety and common sense should prevail…BUT I will say that in the age of “toss it” mentality there are probably lots of things you-should-never-have-bought AND may not need to go but I’ll bet some are on this list. Use your judgment, and follow your intuition…and FYI-Sugar never expires!

And did you know, today, November 15th is National Clean out your Fridge day? Crazy, right? There’s a “Day” for that too…Happy pre-holiday cleaning!

Travel Tips for a Happier Holiday

November 9, 2018 by Heather Filed Under: Organize, Systems & Techniques, Tips & Resources 1 Comment

More Tinsel Less Bristle-Travel Tips for a Happier Holiday!

All too often we hear about the chaos and stress of the holiday season. The holidays are an opportunity to spend quality time with family and friends, but between long road trips and TSA merriment is often overlooked. This season we’ve put together a list of travel tips for a happier holiday so that the only frosty part of your holiday is the snowman outside.

Keep in mind who you are traveling with. With kids? Make sure you have extra games or activities and maybe a few healthy snacks – the more spill-proof the better. This will keep the little ones entertained and cut down on grumpy roadside snack stops.
Invest in quality luggage. Nothing is more frustrating than dragging an oversized, tearing at the seams suitcase with a couple of busted wheels. If you are traveling by plane, double-check that your carryon or checked luggage is within size and weight restrictions.
Pack light. You may be bringing things back, and you do not need 5 pairs of shoes for a 4 day stay. And don’t forget! If you are taking gifts with you by plane be sure to save the wrapping for after your arrival.
Before you leave the house – tidy up things up a bit. After long hours on the road or in the air, the last thing you want to come home to is a mess.
Before you drive – consider leaving in the early morning or late night hours when traffic is at its lowest, aim for 2-digit interstates which provide the most direct routes through cities, and make time to stop and stretch your legs which will keep your body from assuming constant chair pose and give your mind that much needed second wind.
Before you fly – check in online ahead of time to save yourself from unnecessary kiosk lines and arrive early. During the holiday’s airports are packed and subject to cancellations or delays, so a minimum of two hours before boarding time is ideal particularly if you are flying into or out of airports like JFK, LGA, or O’Hare to name a few.
Remember to breathe. While you are sitting in traffic or waiting in line at TSA take a moment to monitor your breath. Avoid getting caught up in the hectic energy that makes us feel like we are rushed. Unknit your brow, relax your shoulders, take a deep breath, and take your time.

Most importantly, remember to pack a good attitude. We all know plans don’t always go exactly as expected. Be ready to roll with the punches and if your patience begins to slip remember that in a few hours you’ll be surrounded by the ones you love so you can eat, drink, and be merry.
