Ok, I'll admit it, I feel like I have been in a holding pattern for a little while now... I have a lot of irons in the fire, but it seems like nothing is happening. To make matters worse, it's not just one thing, it's on many fronts. That is supremely frustrating when you put a lot of thought and effort into something, and feel like you're spinning your wheels. I'm not stuck in a creative rut (I do take my own advice from my posts!), it's that I feel like I'm hitting a wall despite creative thinking. That was until Saturday, when I had the time to sit down with a good business book and open my mind to new ideas.
Like I said, I have been hitting this proverbial wall, backing up and going forward again (I am persistent!) But something occurred to me on Saturday and was reinforced on Sunday in a conversation with my sister. It was simply this: when you hit a wall, change your direction. That is not to say, pack up your bags and go home, rather; gather yourself and keep moving. Even if you don't alter your course all that much, you won't feel like there is only one option out there.
Whew... I feel better now. What do I owe you for my therapy session?

Susan ... I watched a video over the weekend that was called "Organizing from the Inside Out" (yes ... this is what I do for fun on the weekends ... it's like watching exercise shows on TV when I'm eating breakfast). Anyway -- the basic principle of the video was to look at your life / closets/ house / etc. from the inside and work your way out. For example ... you want to clean out and organize your closet so what's the first thing you do? Go out and buy storage containers. Like that's going to help you with the mess that's still in your closet! Also, many people will start pitching things and that's not right either. The video said to first clean out the closet and sort all of the items in to piles. Once you do that you can see everything that you have ... things that should stay and things that can go. At this point you can buy fancy containers / hangers / shelves for your stuff. I guess I thought to tell you this because in a way ... it relates to your tip of taking a different path or a new direction. Look at things a little bit differently starting with asking yourself what you want and then figure out how you're going to get there.
Blogger Therapy: Priceless
Where were you a month ago when I redid my closet?!! I can tell you from first-hand experience that putting the closet system in place first, and then purging and putting away isn't the best way to go. I was exhausted by the time it got to putting it all back and didn't want to think about purging and organizing! Great tip!
Thanks for making me laugh outloud about blogger therapy!
