I have been experiencing NERVOUS ENERGY for the last two days! A lot of my frustration is because of my self induced chaotic surrondings both at home and the work place. Everything doesn't have it's place and my family and I are constantly looking for things. We have managed to tangle ourselves up in a clutter catching nightmare over the past 18 years. Looking on the bright side my family has a lot of abundance. but it is time to delegate and appreciate and develop a system that solves this chronic problem of ours. In this 1,050 square foot home we have 2,050 square foot of stuff! (deep breath). I have been belly aching about this periodically and managed to shovel some stuff out but with the law of nature other things come sweeping back in like the tides of the ocean.
My family and I are all ready for our 2011 Resolution. We are focusing our Attention on changing our habits. I am reading all the good books on organizational systems and way's to Let Go! I am an energy addict and EVERYTHING has it's energy and too much stuff blocks my good Vibes!!!! Lisa the Bulldozer says is time to clear!
I put the last stamp on my belated Christmas Cards this morning so I didn't go to the gym, another reason for my nervous energy. I plan to go this evening with my daughter. I will weigh in again after I burn the cardio as a reward and see if the number on the scale lessons a bit. I feel better now, thank you!
I went to the gym and brought my number from 151.0 to 149.5!

Wait, there are days when you AREN'T full of energy??? LOL! I think I might be joining you on the cleaning resolution. Interestingly, I have virtually no material possessions compared to most people (left it all behind when I moved cross country) but I STILL have a messy house! But I do have to tell you, getting rid of all that stuff was almost as good as losing weight. It's a wonderful feeling of freedom to let it go. Since then, I've been careful not to let it build again. Make some donations and make some other people's day! You can even sell some of the stuff. I think my favorite donation was 10 boxes of books to a used book store. Me and D went through all of our books and chose to keep one box of our very favorites and donate the rest. I love to think of the joy others will get out of the reading of books that were just collecting dust in my house. Good resolution! Thanks for the idea.

I can so relate. I live in a small apartment and there is just too much stuff and too little space. All my living space is clear but the closets and the storage room are a disaster and so are my cupboards. I have done them over and over and I just can't get it right. If you figure out a way please let me know!! It is a frustrating way to live that's for sure. I always know I have something just not so sure on where it is and that is maddening!!

I hear ya... we need breathing room. It is amazing that during the spring and summer the clutter doesn't bother me but in the winter YIKES I feel like I am suffocating. I'm with ya Lisa lets start breathing again "in with the good air out with the bad OLD JUNK" :)

Lisa are we twins? Seems I am going through same exact thing not at work but at home and within my personal life between my coaching, my lifestyle and my parents.
Everything doesn't have it's place and my family and I are constantly looking for things.
My mom lost her gift card I gave her for Christmas and she is now blaming me I stole it from her and aside from this there is a lot of junk in the food and not only food thats junk but just plain old things that either are outdated or we do not use anymore.... Old computers, paper work, statements, tapes, cd's books and list goes on with stuff thats easy five years old!!!
I love to simplify my environment to not feel overwhelmed and crowded and I often wonder why this is why I tend to overeat too sometimes.
So glad your doing this with family and resololutions! I have many good books I wish to send to you but iTunes wont let me share LOL. I have started planning my 2011 goals and will share them if you want me to.
WOW your much like me... My moms junk blocks me and I often tell myself but why does this mental block happen when I see more junk then there needs to be in this house? We cling on to material objects too much and focus less on our powers of the mind to shrink our environments and become more with less!
AHHH I feel better too with your journal... Thank you Lisa!!!
Now get off to gym you bursting BUM LOL

I need to do some serious cleaning and weeding out of "things" too! I have too much STUFF. And yes, it becomes clutter and then it reflects on my thinking (or maybe the mess IS the reflection of my thinking!lol) and I need to de-clutter, as well. Good luck, let me know how it goes! Happy New Year, Lisa! (in case I don't log on tomorrow)
