High Cost of Disorganization
(Plant Your Dream!)
Through decluttering and organizing we can lessen our pain and increase our Self Esteem. I would like to align with others in the CureZone for mutual support.

“People pay dearly for their disorganization with time, energy, self-esteem, success, relationships, and more. For years, you may have said something like, ‘I’d like to get organized, but I don’t have the time.’ But when you look more seriously at your life, you see how painful it is to be disorganized. When you see how much it hurts, you can find the time.”

I have been working on my decluttering and clearing my bedroom since December 1. I am making significant progress. I can’t say I have gotten to the organization stage yet, just merely bringing notebooks more current for different projects. I have culled a lot of paper. I have had a major victory with the area to the right of my bed where for more than three years--long before two hip revision surgeries--I had lots of boxes and dust that greeted me each morning as I opened by eyes. For the life of me, I could not slow down to take the time to deal with them.
When I did I found some treasures, but the biggest treasure was confidence that I can take on some of the other areas of my room.
I have a goal now: Create the room where you work and sleep to speak where you are in your life now.
I have those words in front of me
on the wall in front of my desk.
I have spent a lot of time caring for others and somehow allowing the love and energy they gave back to take the place of my unfulfilled dreams.
I know I am still using food this way: eating to satisfy unmet cravings for life.
My mental fragmentation is stunning. I write mainly from inspiration. I am multi-inspired, but it is a crime against humanity to have so many beautiful things that could be bringing me and others happiness sitting stillborn.
I deeply know the meaning of the words I often hear in my head: You are doing too many things to succeed at any of them.
I know there are many of us in the Curezone who would benefit from the less pain that would come from being more fulfilled. I know this fulfillment can come from being more organized.
One of my mentors, William Spear,
author of Feng Shui Made Easy, speaks about starting to rejuvenate our life with black trash bags that we fill with stuff that is taken up room in our life.

The space I am clearing now I am clearing to establish a relationship with my Inner Lover. I am doing this as an act of Self Love and Self Care.
I looking forward to participating in the CureZone in a feedback loop with others who see the significance of decluttering and organizing.
Martin Buber speaks about being
“All of one Piece.” I know personally
that my own brokenness is reflected in
the space around me.
I am grateful to now know, after a lifetime of wanting, how good it feels to have some clear spaces around me.

I would like to create a mutual support
Forum for Being More Organized in the
CureZone. Please leave a note
in my guestbook with your thoughts on this.
I have added a note to the Feng Shui Forum.
This could be the place for this support.
