Since I’ve been decluttering – or clearing clutter – I’ve been taking notice. Feeling better. More focused. Losing pounds – thank goodness.
First, I have this overall feeling of being freer. Lighter. Moving forward. The weirdest thing is that this is the first time in a long time that I haven’t set an end destination yet. I’m actually enjoying the maze like direction. I’m not sure what has taken me so long but I can say the coaching program I am in is a motivating factor.
What about those shedding pounds? Even though I’m in excellent shape I want to lose just 15 pounds. Somehow, with little change, I lost 5 pounds in 3 weeks. The weight is shedding off me, but I have no clue how. I’m eating as normal. Aaahhh! I did restart my exercise routine. I love exercising anyway, but with a broken foot early in the year, and then a torn knee ligament just a couple of months ago, things got – cluttered! Now I feel it’s even easier to maintain my exercise program.
A second thing is I have noticed is that I am more focused, if that can happen to an introvert! I am only focused on 3 goals. Most days, I stay true to actions that move each one of those forward. The 90 Day Challenge program helps me to do that.
Finally for now, I find I am able to fit so much more into my days without exhausting myself. I’m not exactly how that is happening but it is. Now I don’t mean there are always more actions I take; the actions I take are simply more efficient and effective. By sheer coincidence, the coaching program I am in for this new game encourages us NOT to work on Saturday and Sunday. And except for this ezine to you, which is back to my intended short doses of insights, work is not on my schedule.
There you have the first 3 benefits that clearing clutter has done for me so far:
1) more active with things that once on the backburner list,
2) losing weight,
3) more effective everyday.
How do you suppose clearing clutter helps you to lose weight?
Has this ever happened to you?
