Unwanted items get in the way of your success.
Your unwanted things often impede your success.
Most of the time, it is because when you have lots of unwanted things (including to dos) they clutter your space and your mind.
I love working with my clients. It is especially great when they email me a success or something they are happy about or when they are on their coaching call and can’t wait to share something they have accomplished.
The reason I enjoy it so much is because what had been their “normal” before was struggle, frustration and overwhelm.
My clients are not lazy, and neither are you. They are/were however, inundated with stuff.
Once they get rid of the unwanted stuff, things take off for them. And they will for you too.
The importance of letting things go.
When I begin working with clients, one of the first things we do is an assessment of their time and space. We often find they have hardly any time nor any space (physically and mentally) to get to what they really want to accomplish.
It’s from there that they start letting things go. It’s important for them to have the space in their minds and in their environment in order to create the success they desire.
Once they have cleared the clutter of their living spaces, working spaces, vehicles, and minds, a number of things happen for them.
More opportunities come to them. They have more time for themselves and their families. Projects get accomplished, income increases, health improves and relationships prosper to name just a few.
Can you see why it is important for you to let things go? I hope so.
Let go now.
You need to start letting things if:
- Your calendar is always jam packed
- There isn’t any place to put things in your office
- Things seem to “go missing” a lot
- Forgetfulness is part of your daily life
- People are annoyed with you
- Email is overflowing
- Messages are getting lost or unanswered for days
If you said yes, to even just one of those scenarios, it’s time to begin to let things go. In order for you to optimize your life and your work, you need to create space.
Take action now.
This is a big topic, and I like to break things down. So, just for this week, start by noticing the things around you. You can focus on the list above if that helps.
When you see something that is unwanted, not being used, in the way or gets under your skin, move it, donate it, throw it out, recycle it or put it away.
Do that a little each day throughout your office, house or in a specific room. Believe it or not, my clients do not always begin in their office. They begin (as you will) in the place that is causing them the most annoyance.
If you aren’t sure where to begin, start with what you can see. Letting things go will clear your space, clear the air and clear your mind.
And that’s a wonderful thing.
