Dr. DClutter™

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™.

Appointment Necessary

Undo

I absolutely appreciate the "undo" feature on my computer. If only there was a button we could click in life to undo some of the things we've done that we wish we hadn't. Sadly, there's no undo button in life as there is on my computer. It's difficult in reality to take back a harsh word, or undo an action or relationship. Sure, we can apologize for unkind words, repeat an action or end a relationship, but the experience will still leave an indelible mark. Take care and exercise caution over the things, events, circumstances, or people that you allow to enter your life.

Positive

Don't discount the power of positive thinking, but be sure you follow it up with positive action.

Blanket Statements

"My life is a mess." "My life is out of control." What does that really mean? Does it mean that your entire life is that way? Probably not. But we've grown accustomed to making blanket statements without actually meaning what we say. What you're probably really saying is that you're having difficulty in one or more aspects of life. If you take that view, you will be more successful in managing your life and finding the proper resources to help you move forward.
