How Organized Are You?

If something were to happen to you today, an accident, an illness, or even death, and it became necessary for someone else to come into your home to sort through and make sense of your things, to find all of your necessary legal or insurance documents, would they be able to do it without it being a major challenge?

Stop Trying and Start Doing

Do you find yourself constantly making statements like, "I'm trying to get to work on time." "I'm trying to get up earlier." "I'm trying to get my house cleaned up." "I'm trying to lose weight." "I'm trying to get back into my exercising routine." "I'm trying to find more time for myself."

What are you "trying" to do? Well, it's time to stop "trying" and start "doing." Following are a few steps to help you get started:

1. Slow down! Stop "trying" to do too many things at one time. Multi-tasking is overrated. Do one thing at a time and do it well.

2. Know why you want to do what you desire to do. Make sure your motives are pure. If you want to stop "trying" to lose weight and start losing weight, make sure your reasons for wanting to lose the pounds are healthy reasons.

3. Turn your focus from outward to inward and live from the inside out. Everthing you need for the journey to start "doing" is inside of you, not outside.

Overcoming Fear

Fear of failure is one of the most common types of fear, and depending on the depth of your fear, this could be an issue you deal with on a daily basis. If fear is holding you back, try the following:

1. Face your fears. If you're afraid of doing something, do it anyway as often as you can. You'll soon become comfortable doing it.

2. Talk to someone about your fears. Find someone you trust and share your fears. Sharing can be a form of releasing, and can help you cleanse out negative emotions and get to the root cause of your fears.

3. Get healthy and fit. Eating right and exercising keeps the body not only physically fit, but also mentally and emotionally fit.

I talk about fear in my upcoming new book; Becoming the Me I Was Meant to Be. Look for it to go on sale in the fall of 2010.
