Only for A Time

Be glad that a hard day only lasts for 24 hours or less.

Positively Positive

I know that I focus on positivity a great deal, but the alternative is to focus on negativity and that's just plain old not fun. Here's a new way of thinking for you: Decide that you will remain positive until and unless you are forced to be negative. You will then make every attempt to prove that negative belief to be false. Yes, yes, I'm saying negativity is not allowed. Yes, yes, again, I could have just said that at first, but where's the fun in that?

Strive for Five

I love getting up and out early to exercise because the city is still quiet and peaceful. Since exercising alone is not the most exciting thing in the world, so I play a game while I'm out. I Strive for Five. No I don't mean fruits and veggies (although that's important too, but that's another post), I mean I strive to have at least five human interactions while I'm out. Sometimes it's a "good morning" or maybe a "hello". On occasion it's simply a smile and a nod (hey, it's hard to talk and run at the same time, so it's acceptable). Once in a while it's a wave or a nod of the head. Whatever the gesture, I strive for five. Of course you can strive for more, but at least challenge yourself to interact with at least five humans a day. Doctor's orders!!

Procrastination Monster

I just had to share these pics. Can you guess what the object in these pics is? Here's a hint: in this case, it represents procrastination.






If you haven't figured it out yet, it's the lint from a dryer vent!! Can you imagine how long that vent had gone without cleaning? They're funny pics, but could have caused major problems, such as fire. Thankfully, all it caused was a reduction in drying time, which while not deadly, was costly. The procrastination monster required one load of clothes to be dried 3 times!! Ouch for that electric bill!!

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. D. Clutter™" are the same. Every Friday is our official Let Go!! w/Dr. D. Clutter™ 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. D. Clutter™.

Easy and Positive

Remember my post about finding something good in your life everyday (September 21, 2009)? Well, here's another challenge. Focus on finding easy and positive things that bring you joy. Doing so should not cost you a great deal of money. In fact look for things that are free, or if you must invest, make it under $10. Please send me your ideas. I'd love to share them with others.
