Lisa's Decluttering & Deep Cleaning Journal

I'm still perfecting my Boost, but have decided to start my decluttering so that I have less to clean each day :) My plan was to do a lighter Boost while adding in 5 minutes of decluttering today on the super messy areas - the baby's room, the office & the playroom.  This is pretty ambitious for me because I am working 4 hours tonight and have to get dinner done before I leave. I decided to do 10 minutes in the baby's room (which is really just an add-on to my bedroom) because it also has…See More

Hi Lisa! That is such a powerful statement about negative attitude being what has prevented you from success in the past.

I am a firm believer in mindset being 99% of the game.

It doesn't mean that you can't switch strategies after you find something doesn't work, which is in a sense giving up but in a positive way.

Becoming negative and giving up big picture really can hamper your progress!!

I can relate, it is something that I deal with as well. I was just thinking about that this morning and mindset is one of the main things that I have been working on since the end of 2010.

Because of that I have made some amazing changes - it hasn't always been easy. Fear is the number one thing that I have become aware of and work to face rather than avoid (and give up often without even trying)

 

So I have prattled on long enough :0)

 

I'm really glad that you are here.

 

Be sure to make use of the community to ask questions and get support - it can help!

 

(just to let you know as well, I am STILL working on getting the login to work for the No KAOS Zone login - it is probably just a small setting or glitch somewhere but is taking awhile to find - the downloads in day one do work so you can get started meantime.)

 

ttys :0)

Jan
