Think about something that
drives you crazy. Now, think about something that makes you happy. Does it
change your perspective on the former?
Lingering disorganization and piles drive me crazy. You know how mail, paperwork, receipts,
etc…tend to get put in a pile on a counter, table, or shelf around your
house? Well, I can only stack and
restack for so many days before it starts to drive me crazy. I have to
organize, file, clean, and put away. I
cannot continue to let the pantry baking, snack, breakfast, and canned goods
shelves merge together in disorganized organization, so even if I have other
things planned for that day, once I’ve hit my wall of patience with it, I will
put off everything else in order to stop and fix/organize it efficiently.
Taking road trips, hiking, and spending time with my family out in
nature makes me happy. So, when it comes
to having a choice of staying home to clean and organize or drive 3 hours away
to find an awesome hiking spot to enjoy with the family, I will ALWAYS choose
going out with family to staying home to fix the chaos of disorganization.
Since moving back to the states, I’ve had to realign priorities. I don’t clean as much as I used to, and I
don’t worry as much about it. We don’t
get to go hiking, camping, or spending extended periods of time in nature every
weekend, so when we do, I let the floor stay unsweep and the piles stay
piled. What makes me happy changed my
perspective on what makes me crazy by helping me to let go….let go of what’s
not important, let go of what can wait, and to let go of those silly things
that sometimes bother me to no end until I fix them.
