Grab Life By The…Paper Clips
April 28, 2009
In an earlier blog, it was noted that in order to attract what we want in life–be it ideal home, partner, weight, looks, etc–we have to be organized.
Really organized. Especially, when it’s the only weapon you have.
As I write this, I’m sitting in a sea of envelope, receipts, papers, books that all need to be filed. It’s cumbersome and exhausting. Well, it’s not exactly a “sea” but it feels like it because I love order. I have everything I need to do the right thing, but I haven’t completed it. Flylady.net is a website I’ve mentioned several times and they have a featured called a Control Journal. In a previous Michelle Obama post, I wrote about how she likes writing lists and considers herself an organized, structured person. An admirable trait.
So, on Flylady.net it tells you to list your routines in one book that gives you “control”. You can refer to the control journal when you do anything related to any home or personal objectives. It’s not just a place to keep all your stuff–stamps, post-it notes, change, paper clips, money, her credit cards, and drivers license, library cards, etc. –but also a mirror of life. If you want all the things you desire to come in on calm ships then you need order and routines. You don’t have to be perfectionist. It’s flexible. I may have 5-10, you may have only 1-3. If your daily routine just consists of brushing and bathing, those are just the basics. So life will deliver you just the basics–food, shelter, clothing in miniscule amounts you can manage. But if you create a larger space and aptitude, you’ll begin to attract extras, abundance, surprises, and other things that may surpass your imagination at this time.
If you want desires to come to you at a “bad time” or violently fulfilled then keep running around with your head cut off talking about how busy you are. Take a breath and a pen. Go to to Flylady and start your control journal. Let me know how it goes. May start an Alphanista FlyLady thing soon.
An alphanista doesn’t wait for “perfect” conditions she creates them. Are you?
