78. Sorted

I don’t know if you have the same feelings that I do about laundry, but for a very long time I felt overwhelmed by it.  Especially after having children where the amount of clothes almost tripled. Even after doing a podcast called Happiness Instead Of Overwhelm, where I shared that it’s our response to laundry that needs to change, or our response to anything that isn't working...and I did a really good job shifting the way I felt about doing laundry, but I still knew that having a laundry system that works for me and my family, would be my solution to finally feeling peace with the amount of clothes that pile up.

So for the most part I did change my response to laundry. I learned to let go of perfectly folded clothes and gosh back in the day I would overreact if it wasn’t folded straight away. Now it can sit for a few days and I’m okay with that!  It was when the piles of clothes kept getting washed and not folded and then not put away that I started to feel crazy!!  My partner Deryk used to think it was helpful to wash everything all at once, and I mean 4-5 loads at a time (sorry babe I don’t mean to throw you under the bus) and sometimes he even folded it all. But it wasn’t being put away. And not just when he washed our clothes, even when I did it.  And you know if you have kids that the clean clothes then end up on the floor and back in the laundry bin and get washed again, annoyingly and unnecessarily. And I don’t know why it was so hard to get the laundry put away. It seems so simple and really so silly.  And it only takes a few minutes. But it wasn't happening.  I think it was just the shear amount was so scary that it was actually easier to avoid it. But it certainly didn’t feel very peaceful. And especially with my love for Feng Shui and my knowledge that your home can impact your everyday life, I knew that it was necessary to strategize a better solution. 

Well now I feel like I have finally solved my laundry dilemma. I’ve created a system that works for me...and it has been consistently working for over a month now. And it’s so easy. I wash, fold and put away a load of laundry before I start the next load. I don’t have a day of the week I do it, I don’t aim to get it all done in a day, I just do one load from top to bottom. And it feels good! I feel accomplished. I feel a sense of control over the laundry.

The reality is that there will always be laundry to do. So get over that part and you’re well on your way to feeling the peace with laundry.

77. The Power Of Positive Thought

I’m a big believer in the power of a positive mindset. Positive thoughts partnered with belief can manifest some really incredible things. I’ve seen some real magic happen in my life!

A positive mindset or positive thinking is more than just looking at life with a positive attitude. It’s about the positive self talk.  What are you telling yourself? There are so many thoughts that run through our heads every minute of the day and what we believe matters!

76. A Playful Approach

One of the things that I do when things feel uncertain in my life or I don’t feel in alignment or I feel things are hard and out of my control, is I do a card reading.

I have a deck of angel tarot cards by Doreen Virtue that I’ve been using for about 10 years now and I absolutely love them. They provide me with insight, guidance, and answers and the reading that I did this morning was especially helpful.

For the past few months I’ve been dealing with...

75. Happiness Is A Piece Of Cake

I was recently asked to share my thoughts on a book titled '365 Days of Happiness - Because happiness is a piece of cake! By Jacqueline Pirtle. And what a gem of a book!!  It’s recommended to keep next to your bed so that it starts off your morning with inspiration that nourishes you on all levels...mind, body, soul and consciousness.

74. Self-Love Is Not Selfish

I’m a HUGE advocate for self love. I strongly believe that everyone deserves to put themselves first.  And if you’re a parent, I mean, even in front of your children. You might think I’m crazy but hear me out...

73. Our Bodies, Our Fuel

What’s changed for you since you last listened?  If you’re committed to living your best life, then things have to be changing for you to learn and grow. What’s that quote? The only thing constant in life is change? It’s so true!
So for me, life is changing rapidly. With a 3 year old and a 5 year old, an elderly dog and a puppy, life is pretty out of control most times. And when it feels crazy, one of the things I focus on or re-evaluate is my health. Am I eating the right things for my body to support the early mornings and the long days?  And so, I just completed...

72. Take Care Of The Things You Value

A couple of weeks ago my running shoes were stolen from the gym. Now, coming from a place of trusting that everything happens for a reason, I never actually got angry. It was the second time that week I had left them overnight and I felt so lucky the first time that they were still there and the second time it happened I thought really, I should’ve known.  I guess I like to trust...

71. We'll Be Okay

I was talking with a friend at work the other night about my personal life. We’re both mothers of two who don’t get a lot of sleep and I was sharing the list of things that aren’t working right now. This isn’t something that I normally do. I usually keep to myself all the stuff that isn’t working hoping that by not addressing it, I’m not drawing any energy or attention to it.

But I realized recently that...

70. Let It Be

There is something to learn from every situation. You’ve heard me say this many times before. And I truly believe it. Things come up to teach us. And only when we’re truly ready for the message are we able to receive it. 

And this week something came up for me again. A situation I thought was in the past...

69. Everything Is Here To Teach Us Something

So on Tuesday this past week I had a really rough day.

I also did a few things totally out of character. And because I believe everything happens the way that it’s supposed to, I trust that my day was meant to unfold in this way in order for me to learn from it.

It started with an earlier waking then usual.
