Part with Procrastination

Quote for blog 1-20-15How is the start to your 2015? Have you begun to make those New Year dreams that truly inspired you into a reality in your home? How about your health, your happiness?  Or, are you beginning to feel defeated and uninspired? Have you gone back to the habits of your daily routine?

The fist step to making change is to assess where you are. From there you can determine where you want to be, what needs to be accomplished to achieve your goals and then to take action that is in alignment with your aspirations. This is true for every area of your life be it your home, health and happiness. One of the biggest obstacles to creating the life and home you love is the tendency to procrastinate. The, “Oh, I will do it later” syndrome.  In today’s article we will look at a few simple solutions to help you begin accelerating towards the ideal vision of your life and obliterate the tendency to procrastinate. Sound good?

Procrastination can turn the landscape of life into a quagmire that leaves you feeling trapped and unable to move forward.  Free yourself from the bondage of procrastination by utilizing these simple solutions. They will generate momentum allowing you to begin designing the home, health and happiness you deserve!

First, understand that your life is made up of thoughts and actions that are more than 86% habitual. These habits are ingrained and become the motor behind your motivation. When procrastination surfaces it is because your proverbial ‘engine’ has been hijacked by your habitual, auto-pilot behavior. The first step to removing this autopilot mode is gaining the awareness that it is just that. This will enable you to put your hands back on the steering wheel of your life. It is time for you to be in the cockpit controlling where you are going and your final destination.

Next, begin to put systems in place to reinforce the habits you want to form. Determine what your big vision is for you home, health and happiness and decide what habits would help you move towards this goal with ease and grace. Create a system that will help to fortify this habit in your life. For example, if you decide you want to be more organized, take small steps to clear clutter and organize specific areas. Decide on a specific time each day (one that is convenient for you) to begin to implement your new activity. Do this task at the same time each day. This will help you form a positive, life-affirming habit that will help you put your ideal vision on the fast track of success.

Lastly, rinse and repeat. When you feel you have created a helpful habit that is going to stick for the long haul, it is time to look at the next habit you can create to help move you closer to your ideal vision for your dream life.

Creating habits one step at a time will help you move through the blocks that procrastination forms and put you on a trajectory that will have you designing your inspired, healthy and vibrant home, body, mind and spirit.

Boundless Bliss of Travel in Your Home

Hotel ImageI love traveling! How about you? It rejuvenates my spirit to look at incredible design inspirations, taste exotic flavors and connect with the excitement of the unknown in new destinations. It is a quick glimpse into what an ideal home and life could look like, if only for the fleetingly blissful moment when you walk into a luxurious hotel room that takes your breath away because it is beautiful, inspiring, organized… (and you know that someone else is going to make your bed!) When you wake up in your new destination you are excited to meet the boundless adventures in the day ahead. On my most recent trip to Miami, I was reminded that every day should include the sensation of boundless bliss! I realized I could share a few simple solutions to help you feel this excited and rejuvenated in your own home! (Well, at least everything except the bed making!) Let’s look at 4 ways you can create those inspired, refreshed, and peaceful feelings that wash over you when you are on vacation so you can feel them in your own home and day-to-day life.  Truly, every day can feel that good!

First, the next time you come home, act as if it is the first time you are seeing your home after you have been away on vacation. Notice what your thoughts are as you initially enter your home. Are you excited to be in your own bed or is the messy closet calling your name? Take some notes on what is supporting you or depleting you.

Second, (and this is the fun part) do something that will inspire you to create your dream oasis! Look through travel or design magazines (or internet sites) and find home design ideas that make your spirit soar. Collect these images to help you connect with what you find beautiful, uplifting and inspiring. Keep a visualization folder of your dream space and life. This will help you become clear on your vision and begin to magnetize or attract this ideal into your life.

Third, start. And, start small. (Ok, not so fun. But, it will get you moving in the right direction!) Take out those notes and begin to work on the areas that are not uplifting, rejuvenating and inspiring and the ideas from your visualization folder that do make your spirit soar. It is best to tackle one small project at a time. Build momentum by beginning with one small project you can be excited about. Each time you complete a project it feeds your spirit and your confidence. This is better than being disappointed that you did not complete what you had set out to do because a task or idea was to grand.

Fourth, it can sometimes be tricky to know where to begin.  At the end of the day, there is a way to help you connect to the feelings of inspiration and enthusiasm for your home, surroundings and life. Take the time to reflect on which areas are zapping your zest for life & home, leaving you drained and overwhelmed.  This is the catalyst for change and will help you create the home, health and happiness you find when you travel.

Each day should feel like a new adventure! If you are jumping all over the place and having trouble navigating your path to the beautiful, organized and inspired home and life you know is possible, contact me for a Free Strategy Session and we can decide if you are a good fit for the Home in Harmony Community and if I can help lead you to a life of home, harmony, and happiness!

Resolution or Confusion?

It is amazing that 2014 is coming to a close. As December winds down I begin to think about my hopes and dreams for the New Year ahead. There is something refreshing about a clean slate and the thought that one can begin again. The new possibilities ahead sparkle with potential and promise. However, this is when we most need a reality check. Taking a moment to look back at the past year and determining how you met the goals, resolutions or wishes that you had hoped to create at this time last year will help you break through the barricade to living the ideal vision you hold for your life. This simple solution will give you guidance or awareness into the patterns that either hold you back or help you break barriers and soar.

In this week’s vlog I explain why it is critical to your self-esteem, happiness and overall well being to commit and keep the resolutions that you set for yourself… otherwise you are setting yourself up for failure in all areas of your life. This will lead to disappointment, low self esteem and despair. Click on the image below!
