Enjoy the Journey


Learning to walk before you run gives you time to enjoy the scenery-slow down and appreciate the journey.

I often read a small town paper online called the Daily Herald. In the opinion section, there is something called Sound Off! The purpose is for readers to share comments about what matters to them, ranging from topics about life in the city, politics and personal pet peeves, to compliments and complaints. I thoroughly enjoy reading Sound Off! and decided to offer something similar to you, my faithful followers. I love it!! In Sound Off! readers are encouraged to stay on topic, be respectful and the use of foul or obscene language, personal attacks or uses of another's identity to post are not allowed. The rules for what I am calling "Let Go!! with Dr. DClutter™" are the same. Every Friday is our official Let Go!! w/Dr. DClutter™ day. I'll post your advice, ideas, stories and thoughts. It'll be a place for you to share your life management and organization issues as well as discuss life events that inspire, empower or bother you. You can "leave it all here", as long as you follow the rules I discussed above. All comments will be reviewed before posting. So get ready, get set and Let Go!! w/Dr. DClutter™.

Your Voice

If you have a voice for change, but you refuse to use it, don't become upset and disillusioned when change doesn't happen. Use your voice!!

Live in the Moment

Planning for the future is a great habit to practice and I encourage you to do so. However, don't plan so much for the future that you forget to live in the present moment and enjoy yourself.

In the Present??

Are you living your life for your future self and ignoring who you are in the present? That robs you of the enjoyment of the simple and complex pleasures in life. Make a concerted effort to savor each moment and experience as they happen.

Odor

Most of us can deal with an unpleasant odor for a short time before we need relief. Some troopers can endure for a longer period of time, but must soon seek relief as well. What if you thought of the disorganization in your life as a stench? What would you do? Would you endure, escape or change? Try change and find simple solutions to eliminate the "odor" and "freshen" your life. Ideally you would start by not allowing disorganization to enter in the first place, but if it has already entered, identify the problem, seek help to overcome it and then maintain your newfound organized life.

Dignity

Too Short

This may sound like a cliché, but I'll say it anyway. Life is too short to deprive yourself of all of the pleasures in life. Of course, you need to seek to have a balance so that you don't overdo a good thing, but take time to enjoy your life.

Raise the Bar

If you continually set low standards, you'll continually receive small rewards and achievements. It's up to you to set exacting standards and implement a plan of action to reach your highest potential.

Repetition without success is insanity and breeds stress.

About Me

My photo
Washington, DC, United States
I am Dr. Darnita L. Payden, Executive Director/Owner of Dr. DClutter™ Life Management, a division of PreciousOnes™ LLC. I have a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology and over 20 years of experience working to help clients discover their strengths and talents. Having worked as a therapist, college professor, grief specialist and trainer, I have encountered in my journey many of the issues my clients may face. I have a sincere desire to help you find clarity, organization and independence in your life and environments. I know that life can be hectic, but I desire to help my clients bring as much order, peace and enjoyment back into their lives as is possible. What separates me from the norm? I focus on the client from a holistic perspective. I realize that most people desire a functional and an organized life, but may simply need support, understanding and information about why they have the habits or tendencies that have led to disorganization. I do not perform “quick fixes” or provide “one-size-fits-all” guidance, but I strive to provide strategies to my clients that will be life changing and useful for a lifetime. Dr. DClutter™ is a name well earned!!
